As the title really. I have had an iPhone 5 for the last few years and have been offered an iPhone 6 plus in new condition for £180 from a mate looking to get the 7. I have a to admit in not being that interested in phones but I believe that this is a good price, so can anyone explain what differences I can expect (apart from size) and whether, if it was your choice, you would take up the opportunity?

not much, i did that and felt totally underwhelmed, its like the same phone just slightly bigger, it will prob handle new updates better but it will feel like you have never changed,

after that i went android

5 to the 6+ is a massive upgrade, literally. Plus Touch ID and other good stuff. Do it.

IOS 9 is IOS 9.
I find the size of a plus is too much but if you want a bigger screen then it's the right choice. If you are not arsed about the screen then the upgrade simply isn't worth it.

£180 is a steal! Do it you won't look back!

I love my 6s plus.

You can run iOS 10 on the 6.

Bargain mate... grab it. (If you like that size... too big for me)
Just sold my 64GB iPhone 6 (Not S) for £280.

Still using original 5 that i bought in vegas years ago, runs ios 10 fine. If I was offered a cheap 6 I would probably take it though just for the apple pay.

Brun

I can't even keep up with which IOS I'm on clearly.

Soooooooooooooooooo............l

IOS 10 is IOS 10 so the only real difference is the size of the phone.

I can't be arsed to make a list but no there's a lot of new things.

The best thing about 6 plus is the battery life and useful screen size. Great for business.

I have a 6s

imho the physical quality is poor compared to the 5s

Sure technically (spec wise) it's better in every way. but it's built like a 5c; very slippery, easily dropped and bent.

Mines after only 12months and looking very tatty from drop damage...despite protective covers and its now bent despite Never ever seeing a back pocket and it looks like a seal /gasket is trying to escape from the top right corner of the screen. My old 5s looked perfect before I sold it.

In fact still have my 4s which I use as a iPod which looks in better nick and that's had far more use and abuse. It's also nicer to hold and use as it fit comfortably in one hand....the 6s is too big and tinder swiping using one hand gives me thumb strain

Brun

Maybe so but I think most people who have a 6 do nothing different than they did with a 5.
Off hand I can't think of a single thing extra I can do which is of any real use.

Apple pay

Mark 2 watch could actually be worth having
