Apple’s bumped up the 4in screen size of the 5s and 5c to a substantially larger 4.7 inches. Naturally, the resolution has increased to 1134 x 750 to compensate, providing a ppi count of 326, with a wider overall view.

The iPhone 6 sees the biggest design change since we saw the 4s evolve into the 5. Despite its larger body to accommodate the bigger display, the overall design is rounder and smoother, borrowing from the iPad school of design.
