Chip Set
We like chips - The iPhone 6 Plus A8 Chip, that is.
There’s a reason the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus became Apple’s flagship phone just days after its global launch. One of the show-stopping features included is the A8 chip. The built-in A8 chip improves performance and speed compared to previous models.
Apple states that the A8 is 25% better in performance and 50% improved in terms of graphic processing (CGU). App launches are faster, data loading is smoother and because your phone performs more efficiently, you save on battery life too.
