(Apple makes some, including a really nice line of leather cases, and the third-party ecosystem is going to get even bigger.) It helps obscure the unsightly plastic strips, it makes the otherwise slick phone a little easier to grip, and it compensates for the awkwardly protruding camera lens on the back, which prevents the phone from sitting flat on a table. In a weird way, slim and gorgeous as it is, this iPhone begs to have a case on it. HTC’s simple, striped design on the One M8 is far better, and even Apple’s glass-strip-on-the-top-and-bottom approach for the 5S looked nicer. It just looks bad, like someone drew on my phone with a marker. The only real flaw is the antenna design: Apple opted to essentially outline the top and bottom of the phone’s back with small plastic stripes where wireless radios can transmit signal. It’s simply and cleanly designed, with a metal back that curves cleanly around the sides. Mixing form and function this way is hard to do, and Apple gets it largely right. ![]() The iPhone 6 is far friendlier and far more usable. The iPhone 5S was a stark piece of jewelry, a gorgeous object that was slightly cold and unapproachable. The iPhone 6 is the big iPhone for everyone And it shares more in common with the world’s many Android phones - and the original, curvy iPhone - than with the sharp, rectangular iPhone 5S. It’s almost exactly the same size as Samsung’s Galaxy S5, just a little thinner and a little lighter. The iPhone 6 is 5.44 inches tall and 2.64 inches wide, which slots it right in between last year’s Moto X (also a 4.7-inch phone) and the new HTC One. ![]() "This looks just like my phone," they all say. Android users, on the other hand, are unfazed. ![]() iPhone users are always shocked by the sheer size of the 6 they all think it must be the 6 Plus. I hand the phone to someone, and guess what phone they use based on their immediate reaction. The whole time I’ve had the iPhone 6, I’ve been playing a game.
