The other phones have image stabilization, Alan, but not the added optical image stabilization using the gyroscope which is more of a physical image stabilization which is only on the iPhone 6-Plus.

The 6 Plus has image stabilization, but the plain 6 does not.
It is that simple.

bogged down with that much memory? lol
128GB is pretty slim by todays standards, but the answer is no, there is no
performance difference between a 64GB IPhone and a 128GB IPhone...simply
more space for all those great photos and vidios and music and audio books
and so on.
Mine is 16GB and I'm constantly having to transfer photos and vidio on to my
computer to free up space.
And I don't take that many photos for obvious reasons...why I would feel the
need to photograph or vidio my life for the appreciation of others is beyond
me lol.
Not only that, no matter how good these cameras get, we're still blind and
taking a picture of anything is a shot in the dark at best hahaha.
Anyway, I was under the impression that the IPhone 6 had the same image
stabalization as the 6Plus...the major difference between the two models
being the screen size...but I haven't really investigated that far into it
so the 6plus could very well have better image stabalization.
Tom, as for your question about weather the 6plus will work better with the
KNFB reader, perhaps, but if you use one of those cool guide box dealios
where you can place the phone properly and scan the material under it,
you'll do ok even with a 5C.
The 6plus is so large, that it is difficult to use it as a phone and you
definitely almost always have to use two hands to operate it instead of one
hand like the 6.

Hello Tom,
I share the same pair of questions with you. I have been told by several
friends with 6 Plusses, that their photos are rock steady even when they
have snapped their pictures from a moving car, and with shaky hands. While
they offered no quantatative evidence of this, they all said that pictures
taken with a plain 6 would have been quite jingly. With this in mind, I
opted to get a 6 Plus. As for the 128 Gig Vs. 64 Gig phones, I have heard
no claims that larger memory units were any faster or slower than their 64
Gig brothers. As I mentioned on this list a few days ago, I might well be
replacing my brand new phone because of a battery issue. If I must replace
my phone, I will replace my current 64 Gig phone with a 128 Gig unit just
for the fun of it. I can't imagine that doing so would cause me any
trouble. I will report back to the list with my findings.

Have a couple more i-phone questions for you guys.
First, I'm seeing the i-phone s6 in 32, 64, and 128gb sizes. i'm wondering
if
there's a performance difference between the 64 and 128gb versions? Does
the
128g version get bogged down by that much memory?
My second question concerns image stabilization. It appears that the s6+
has
it but the 6 does not. I'm wondering if it makes any difference to the KNFB
reader.
Thanks.
Tom
