Yes, you are correct, and I stand corrected.

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=20
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=20
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=20
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=20
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=20
so the 6plus could very well have better image stabalization.
Tom, as for your question about weather the 6plus will work better with =
the=20
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,=20
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=20
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
