To recap
The iPhone with the biggest screen also delivers the biggest battery capacity of the range, meaning its stamina is epic. Its sheer physical size won’t suit all, though, but if you want all the features and all the longevity then it’s the ultimate choice - otherwise the Pro model offers all the same features in a smaller package instead.
