iFixit has posted a teardown of the iPhone 6 Plus revealing many of its internal components.

Over the years, we've seen the iPhone evolve—and grow. It began as just the iPhone. Soon it learned how to 3G, it gained an S (it would lose and gain this every other year), and it even learned to read fingerprints. Years of hard work and dedication have made the iPhone into what it is today, the iPhone 6 Plus.

Highlights:
● Apple A8 processor with 64-bit architecture
● M8 second-generation motion coprocessor
● 16, 64, or 128 GB onboard storage capacity
● 5.5-inch 1920x1080 pixels (401 ppi) Retina HD display
● 8 MP iSight camera (with 1.5µ pixels, phase-detection autofocus, and optical image stabilization) and a 1.2 MP FaceTime camera
● Touch ID home button fingerprint sensor, barometer, 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, ambient light sensor
● 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 + NFC + 20-band LTE
● The iPhone 6 Plus is identified by its model number: A1524.
● The battery is rated at 3.82 V and 11.1 Wh of energy, for a total of 2915 mAh
● Elpida 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM
● NXP 65V10 NFC module + Secure Element

Thats one way to mile some more $$... I mean come on 64 bit 2 core CPU with 1 gig of ram??? No way they can possibly totally use the fullpower power of the CPU with that amount of ram and I though 64bit CPU's min is 4gb.... The only sad thing about Apple is their apps, since most app updated are locked/requires the latest iOS OS always... Those stuck at iOS 6/5 aint gonna get an update to their apps if there ever will, specifically those ipod 4g/iphone 3gs/4... and soon 4s..

Many plan to upgrade to the new iPhones so it won't be as sad. Besides nearly every ipad supports them.

Nobody has to justify, it's all in the proof. The latest Galaxy S 5 has quad core and 2 gig of Ram. iPhone 6 plus has dual core core and 1 gig of the Ram. Benchmark test proves, IPHONE BEATS SAMSUNG even with half the specs. How silly to think, designing a product without optimizing the hardware with the software. Samsung doesn't even designed their own OS.

gamerscul9870 - September 22, 2014 at 12:02am

Exactly. That explains s5 and 5s. Samsung always catching up and forever stays behind.

I don't understand Apple lemmings. "Why jump 10 steps ahead" - that was always Apple's claim they are cutting edge, we are the best now they say is better to launch products which just barely meet todays tech and some cases still behind and that is fine. Curious. People want to be told what they can use like "big brother" the apple garden, people want to be NOT ALLOWED to plug devices or memory into their own devices. People want to be led around but their noses and spill the company line. Man Apple sounds more and more like big brother and partially a cult - with all those redeeming qualities.

What you have to understand is when you buy a galaxy s by Samsung, you buy that phone fir its gimmicky feature..sadly your stuck on the same version until you buy another Galaxy with another gimmicky feature. 4S goes back 3-4 years and it gets ios8, can you say the same on Galaxy s 2 or 3?

Android does that too. Even on lower end phones. GS2 gets the latest KitKat from Cyanogenmod whilst the 1st gen iPad doesn't get past 5.1.1.

gamerscul9870 - September 20, 2014 at 1:30pm

That's why ipad 2 is still being sold.

SamSAMSUNG - September 19, 2014 at 6:47pm

Samsung has a 2800mAh battery only the highest iPhone has 2915 battery all others are 1810mAh battery. still late to the party

Apple is quite smart, the whole 1 gb ram is smart. Why jump 10 steps ahead. Do 1 jump at a time, maximize profits. Release a phone almost twice a year. Making billions. 6S 6PlusS will probably have 2gb ram. Who knows. As long as there OS keeps it smooth and fast. Im not complaining. Business 101.

tucansam17 - September 19, 2014 at 4:44pm

Isn't APPLE still behind the curve. 1GB of Ram - really, my grand mom uses more on here home computer. larger screen - after how many yrs. still cannot multi-task - 1 GB ram still way behind

iPhone 6 Plus and IOS 8 will bring the Android world to it's knees. Droid is now the minor leagues.

read about android L - September 19, 2014 at 10:02pm

There is a reason why android L is secretly the BEST untold secret. I'll admit android has been behind in the software but that was because of a compiler called "dalvik". Experts in forums said it was impossible to switch from this "dalvik" compiler to a more efficient compiler like iOS and Windows phones. Thus you see some slight lag in android. Android has since been fitted with top of the line processors, POWERful processors and lots of ram! Google's engineers have changed the game with android L and this is only the beginning. Android Runtime aka "ART" is in the beta versions available in to developers with the Nexus 5. People are seeing 35% increases in ON-SCREEN time! ON-SCREEN! This translates to about an extra 6-8 hours in a 24 hour day! "Dalvik" has always been the rate limiting step of android, imagine downloading an app and pressing on that app to open up. With "dalvik" the app is scattered all over the phone, and hurry to assemble as you press the app and the app opens. This takes precisious processing power and battery life. "Dalvik" also worked as a Virtual Machine placing a second layer on top of android. So when you pressed the app to open, the language would translate to android then android would translate to activating the app. Its like an emulator playing on your computer, it takes mad processing power and battery. Now here's what happens with ART Android Runtime: the apps are downloaded already glued together, there is no scattering of apps, no flurry of bits and pieces of the app coming together to opening the app when you press it. It will open instantly because the app is already considered open YET completely dormant! the VM is removed so now the press translates the language directly to the hardware which instantaneously opens the app. Now I don't think Android L will be able to fully optimize this power right at release, but with time after release, they will get it right! Theoretically, the switch from "dalvik" to ART would one day push your android to 2x speed and 2x battery life. Since android is able to keep up fairly well right now with iOS... I wonder what would happen when ART is completely optimized?

Just read about that article too. Its an interesting article. I just bought the iphone 6+ because I have been complaining about the screen size since forever. Hopefully it comes out great! As for Android L, I believe if you want the best experience closes to iOS or at least a CLEAN unadulterated android, go for the Nexus! I had the nexus 5 when it first came out, it was a great phone, I just had to get the ip6+ because it was the biggest change since forever! I'll hold onto my nexus 5 and wait for this android L to be installed into it. I might even make a review on my youtube video about comparing the 2

"Other have more or even better" Grgv Does this actually mean something ?

AppleDudeFanWhatever - September 19, 2014 at 5:53pm

You sir, do no know the value, or resale value of iPhones. If you were smart you would know jumping to a new iPhone every time they release a new one is not much of a difference. 5S retails at 550, but people on eBay are selling used ones for 450. How much for your silly used droid?

justabrake - September 19, 2014 at 7:55am

How much $$$ did it cost to make ?

iBrummie - September 19, 2014 at 7:41am

I loved my iPhones in the past but they no longer lead the tech, they have become a mid range product with a high end price.... Such a shame. 1GB ain't going to cut it for a 1080p screen when you want to do more advanced video music stuff... BUT great news for gamers on iOS... Goes tp prove they just aint interested in the high end enterprise markets but more the 'wannabe' trend setters. PS. before i get a stream of iTrolling, I'm a registered iOS and OSX developer so believe me I love my MACs. Just annoyed at the iPhones lack of innovation.

Mike Power - September 19, 2014 at 6:06am

Still cheap looking.

Ken - September 19, 2014 at 6:09am

Lol still he says, evidently you haven't seen any other phone in your entire life...

What? Are you seeing the same thing the rest of us are seeing?
