Consensus
It’s the biggest, fastest, best iPhone you can buy, but it is only a minor upgrade over last year’s iPhone 6 Plus. However, when it comes to selecting storage just about every reviewer said to buy the 64GB version or higher.

Our Final Conclusion
The best-of-the-best got a little better this year with faster A9 chip, better camera and 3DTouch.

If you are looking for the best smartphone, this is it.
