Apple devices are among the most popular for users from all territory of the United States of America. When tablets appeared they looked like extraordinary gadgets and so they remain but just in some measure at least after iPhones developed better and better. Because of this I think a comparison between the latest version of iPhone, 6 Plus, and the latest model of tablet powered by Apple, iPad mini 3 could be very interesting.
Too big smartphone, perfect sized tablet
At first sight, the two resemble a lot, but the price difference which is almost double in the favor of the smartphone give the biggest clue that the smaller device is better. So, for this will make an objective comparison between them starting with their design. The iPhone 6 Plus is smaller and lighter with dimensions of 158x78x7mm, but it is simply too big in many people’s opinion. On the other hand, the iPad mini 3, at 200x135x7.5mm, is the perfect size for a tablet, allowing the user to take it around in a bag and use for various activities, such as browsing the web, playing games and watching videos.
Battery lasts less at iPad mini 3
OK, so at that point, iPad mini 3is in a small advantage, but when it comes to the display, the iPhone 6 Plus looks like scoring the equalizer. The iPad mini 3 has a 7.9-inch 2048x1536 multi-touch display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, while the iPhone 6 Plus has 5.5-inch 1920x1080 display with a 16:9 widescreen. Also, the battery issue is in the advantage of the smartphone because it has a bigger battery that can last up to 12 hours of use with Internet connection or up to 16 hours on standby. It isn’t so much, but better than the iPad mini 3’s which can only last 10 hours of continuous browsing.
IPhone 6 costs almost double
The advantages of iPhone 6 Plus continues thanks to its 8 megapixels rear camera, comparing to the 5 megapixels device that the tablet has. But nothing comes for free of course! So, if iPhone 6 Plus seem better from many points of view, this fact is reflected in its price of 749 dollars, almost half than the other gadget which is priced at 399 dollars. For the 16 GB versions of both, but also a 128 GB tablet isn’t as expensive as the phone as it is priced at 599 dollars.
