The Apple iPhone 6 marks a significant design shift for Apple, featuring a slim 6.9 millimeter unibody aluminum chassis with smooth, rounded edges. Marques Brownlee highlights how the entire device feels like a single smooth surface, yet notes the surface is quite slippery in hand, which raises the appeal of using a high quality skin for grip. He compares the physical size to prior models, calling the 4.7 inch display a comfortable balance between usability and portability, while acknowledging the camera protrusion, which is mitigated by sapphire coating. The video also discusses the relocation of the power button to the side and the addition of a physical mute switch, both seen as practical upgrades, particularly for one‑handed use. Overall build quality is praised as solid, with caveats about the speaker and the potential for the device to bend or feel delicate in certain pockets, reinforcing the need for a protective case or skin. The 6 plus variant is teased as a separate review, with the 6 itself positioned as a capable, safe upgrade offering a bigger display, better screen quality, and a refreshed iOS experience.
