# Oversized Mobile Makeovers Apple Unveiled its Second Smartphone Model with New the iPhone 6 Plus By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-09 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-6-plus References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/09/09/apple-iphone-6-plus/) & [apple](http://www.apple.com) Just when people were getting geared up for the announcement of the Apple iPhone 6, the company decided to release two smartphones including the iPhone 6 Plus. Dubbed a 'phablet,' it is a phone and tablet in one thanks to its larger size and higher resolution of 1920x1080. Although not as high as the resolutions from the LG G3 and [Galaxy Note 4](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-note-4), it's a record for Apple devices. The iPhone 6 Plus also comes with a 64-bit A8 processor with a brand new camera sensor and optical image stabilization. Like the [iPhone 6](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-iphone-6), the iPhone 6 Plus boasts an 8 megapixel camera with True Tone flash and a 2.2 aperture and an all new sensor. It will be available in three colors: gold, space gray and silver. Although the iPhone 6 Plus hits stores on September 19, 2014, it can be pre-ordered on September 12. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Phablet Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new features and functionality specific to the larger size and resolution of phablets like the iPhone 6 Plus. - **Improved Camera Sensors:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced camera technologies and image stabilization systems for smartphone manufacturers to incorporate into their devices. - **Pre-ordering:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement new and efficient pre-ordering systems to streamline the purchasing process for highly anticipated products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobile Device Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the production of phablets and develop cutting-edge components and designs to cater to the demands of the market. - **Camera Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with smartphone manufacturers to improve camera sensors and image stabilization technology for enhanced photography experiences. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Enhance the pre-ordering process and develop seamless online shopping platforms to cater to the growing demand for highly anticipated products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Color-Infused Glass Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-15.md) - [Safety-Focused Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-14.md) - [Durable Pro-Inspired Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17.md) - [Pro-Grade AI Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-16-pro.md) - [Large-Screen AI Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-9-pro-xl.md) - [Ultra Slim Light Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-air-1.md) - [Flagship-Inspired Value Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-16e.md) - [Yellow-Tonal Phone Exteriors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-14-1.md) - [Aluminum Unibody Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-pro.md)
