the iPhone six-plus sparks a lot of questions I think only time can truly give us the answers to so with that I present to you my iphone six-plus challenge so what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD hope you guys are doing well and up until this point I've been primarily using the iPhone 6 as my main phone getting that ready for review which is coming out shortly so if you have not yet subscribed definitely feel free to do that but the point of this video was to let you guys know that I'm taking a little bit different of an approach for the iPhone 6 plus so starting today I'll be switching over to it as my daily driver that's the cool kids are calling it for 30 days with the intentions of answering some questions that I have and I think you might find useful first and foremost one of the most obvious questions surrounding the iPhone 6 plus I think is the size is it too big for day-to-day use and I'll admit the first time I picked it up I looked at it and said hold Liebig phone Batman because for me the ideal sweet spot in terms of smartphone screen size is anywhere between 4.7 and 5.1 inches in terms of where I'm most comfortable but with anything I understand as a transition and adjustment period so I'm curious to see if I use this on a daily basis will that change and will I start to become more accustomed to the larger size of the iPhone 6 plus I've used and loved notes before not so much for the screen size but more so for the battery life that is something that is really attractive for me on the iPhone 6 plus as well like I said I've been primarily using iPhone 6 so ahead and touch the iPhone 6 plus and a little over a week and I went to grab it out of my bag with the intentions of charging it because you know I figured it was dead but much to my surprise still had a charge I tweeted out the other day a screenshot of the battery usage on the iPhone 6 plus I've threaded a bit in my bag and had some insane standby time like nearly nine days so I'm really curious to see how that translates into day-to-day use and I think using it for an extended period of time will really help paint that picture now if you've got my most recent video I explained the whole iPhone 6 plus bending issue and the most balanced and neutral perspective I possibly could take I don't think it's as serious as some have made it out to be where it's gonna automatically bend in your pocket the second you put it in there but I do think to some extent there is a chance of the iPhone six-plus Bennet especially if you're not using a case just based off how thin and how big the phone is but in terms of this test and using it for 30 days I was thinking I should probably use it for 30 days without a case to really see if anything happens or do you guys think maybe I should split it up two weeks with two weeks without definitely let me know with the comment down below and one of the biggest issues I'm curious to see if it improves and how fast it improves is app optimization on the iPhone six-plus because as of now it is not very good at all so I'm sure as most of you know the iPhone 6 plus has a 1920 by 1080p display which sounds simple but it's a little more complex than that in the sense that Apple renders the image at 3 times so if we take a screenshot on your iPhone 6 plus it's actually at 2200 8 by 12 42 and then from there Apple actually down scales that back into the 1080p window so it's a little bit weirder right now a text as overblown it's not scale right it looks a little pixelated and not as crisp as it should be on the larger screen so there's a lot of work to be done not only that but in addition to text when we see more apps start to take advantage of landscape mode because that in itself is one of the reasons why you'd want to choose the iPhone 6 plus over the 6 now in terms of consuming media in regards to watching YouTube Netflix movies it is fantastic it is super super good for the first time ever but in all seriousness it is a super pleasurable experience and I kind of leads me into my next question something I want to find out over the challenge that is how will it affect my tablet use now to begin with I'm the kind of guy where if you put a laptop or tablet in front of me 9 times out of 10 I'm gonna grab the laptop that's just how I am I do prefer the 7 inch form factor as far as tablets go whether it's a Nexus 7 or iPad Mini in regards to just kick him back and consuming media but with the challenge and using the iPhone 6 plus on a day to day basis I'm starting to lean and think that it would completely replace any tablet usage for me period so that about wraps up this video I just want to give you guys a quick update in terms of how I'm handling my coverage with that phone 6 plus just a little bit of an impressions as well if you guys have any feedback or things you want to see covered in my challenge definitely let me know by drop it a line down below I'll actually have a link over to the new TLD website if you want to leave a comment there it's a little bit easier to track and manage that way I can make sure and see that for my challenge and if you're also interested
