Confirming many of the rumours, Apple is finally entering the phablet market with the official announcement of the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Like it's smaller Apple iPhone 6 sibling, the overall thinner design with rounded corners and sides remains the same as all the dummy casings which were leaked lately. The iPhone 6 Plus will be 7.1mm thin and there is no premium version which will have a sapphire crystal glass display. As it is, most of the tech specs and features on the Apple iPhone 6 Plus remain the same as the Apple iPhone 6, except that the Apple iPhone 6 Plus has a larger 5.5-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution for a 401 ppi pixel density. Other tech specs different in the Apple iPhone 6 Plus include optical image stabilization for the still 8MP iSight rear camera. The iPhone 6 Plus also has support for landscape mode and some apps can activate a split display while the keyboard also has more keys.
Like the Apple iPhone 6, there are still no Malaysia release dates for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus yet but it should be set for release starting from 19 September 2014, with preorder beginning on 12 September 2014. If our calculations are correct it should be released with the Apple iPhone 6 in November 2014. Pricing is expected to go up to RM2900 for the 16GB version all the way up RM3800 for the 128GB version based on Singapore pricing. Hopefully, Apple Malaysia will see reason and lower the price somewhat when it does come here to Malaysia.
