[Electronics-talk] Trying to Understand Data Plans

Tue Sep 16 16:02:34 UTC 2014

The iPhone 6 is larger than the iPhone 5s, and the iphone 6 plus is
larger than the iPhone 6.

The given sizes are 4 inches for the iphone 5s, 4.7 inches for the
iphone 6 and 5.5 inches for the 6 plus.

Hope that helps,

Jim
