Sizing up the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to the competition

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/sizing-iphone-6-and-iphone-6-plus-competition' title="Sizing up the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to the competition"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/iphone_6_plus_note_4_press.jpg?itok=4373G_Hb' />[/url]</p> <p>Today we got our first real look at the iPhone 6 (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6) and iPhone 6 Plus (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6-plus) and unsurprisingly they brought all of the specs (http://www.imore.com/iphone-6-and-iphone-6-plus-specs) to the game. But how do they stack up against the giants of Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone? Although now that Apple has a 5.5-inch iPhone, perhaps calling those other phones giants isn't entirely accurate. But still, how do they compare? That's what we're here to find out.</p>  <p>So we've taken the latest and greatest that Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone have to offer and stacked it up against Apple's newest. There are, admittedly, still a few things we don't yet know, but this gives a good idea of how it all plays out. Of course, these comparisons are all dependent on the software that's running on the device — some are better at managing processors and power consumption than others.</p> <p><style type="text/css">
