In Apple’s return to curves (iPhone design had curved edges until the iPhone 4), it went a bit further with the iPhone 6. Instead of a sharp right angle connecting the aluminum body to the glass, the front glass of the iPhones 6 curves downward to meet the metal chassis.

Hold the phone in your hand and you’ll struggle to find a single edge. This is in stark contrast to every iPhone since the iPhone 4.



At 4.6 ounces (just a few grams heavier, but still slightly thinner than the iPhone 5S), the iPhone 6 feels solid and not insubstantial in your hand.

It also feels a bit slippery. If you buy one, get a case with some grip to it. The similarly sized Samsung Galaxy S5 does not have the iPhone’s spectacular design, but with a plastic, puckered back and rigged sides, it’s unlikely to slip out of anyone’s hands.
