The iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.3 performance is very good even after three weeks of heavy use in a a variety of settings. Here’s a breakdown of key areas on the iPhone 6 Plus.
- I keep a long list of the best iPhone 6 Plus apps on my iPhone and I have yet to run into any problems with the apps I keep on my phone. This includes apps for fun and apps for work, which I use almost equally on the iPhone 6 Plus.
- The iPhone 6 Plus connects to WiFi and LTE perfectly and functions as a mobile hotspot without any problems. Bluetooth works great and connects seamlessly to a variety of accessories that I use including headphones and a keyboard.
- iPhone 6 Plus battery life is still amazing. There is no change from iOS 8.2 or even iOS 8, which is a good thing considering the iPhone 6 Plus easily lasts all day even in heavy use.
- The iPhone 6 Plus is fast. I’m not sure if it is faster than on iOS 8.2 overall, but messages feels more responsive on the iPhone 6 Plus now than it did a month ago. Overall apps open fast and switch with speed.
- No iOS 8.3 problems for this iPhone 6 Plus. My iPhone 6 restated without warning once, but the iPhone 6 Plus runs smooth and without the pesky landscape issues that impacted my use on earlier versions of iOS. It’s great to have a bug free iPhone 6 Plus.
Sure, there are always some outliers with iOS 8.3 problems, but the odds are good that you will enjoy the same experience as I am on the iPhone 6 Plus. The continued great performance over three weeks is testament to the quality of this update.
