Negatives: Though we had many expectations from Apple with the release of its iPhone 6, it certainly lags in few of the features.
1. It has got a 1810 mAh inbuilt rechargeable Li-Po battery. The battery is not so huge and drains out easily. No user-replaceable battery.
2. The phone is not liquid and dust resistant. The competitors of Apple like Sony & Samsung are releasing their liquid and dust resistant phones while Apple has not released any phone with such feature.
3. It has not got the facility of external storage. Like always, Apple has not featured an external storage facility in its iPhone.
4. Apple has been releasing its mobiles with a camera of 8MP since 4 years. At least in its iPhone 6 release it should have planned for a bigger camera.
5. Lacks in features like wireless charging, FM radio, stereo speakers which makes it look a bit costly.
