Comparison review
The iPhone 5s has a general score of 75.5, which is a bit better than iPhone 6 Plus's global score of 75.3. These devices work with the same iOS 8.x operating system, so both of them should provide all the same operating system features. The iPhone 5s body is way lighter than iPhone 6 Plus, but it's a little bit thicker and was released about a year before.
Apple iPhone 6 Plus's processing unit is just as good as the Apple iPhone 5s one, and although the Apple iPhone 6 Plus has a slower graphics co-processor running at 450 megahertz, they both have a 64 bits CPU, 2 cores and the same RAM amount. The Apple iPhone 6 Plus features a bit more vivid screen than Apple iPhone 5s, and although they both have the same display brightness, the Apple iPhone 6 Plus also has a much larger screen, a much better 1920 x 1080 resolution and a little bit more pixels per screen inch.
Apple iPhone 5s counts with a very superior storage for games and applications than iPhone 6 Plus, because it has 64 GB internal storage. IPhone 6 Plus captures slightly better photos and videos than Apple iPhone 5s, and although they both have the same resolution camera in the back, the same 1920x1080 (Full HD) video resolution, a same size aperture and a same size camera sensor, the iPhone 6 Plus also has better video frame rates.
IPhone 6 Plus has a way better battery duration than iPhone 5s, because it has an 86% more battery size.
Although iPhone 5s is a better device, it costs more than the iPhone 6 Plus, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as the iPhone 6 Plus. If you are trying to save some money, you can get the iPhone 6 Plus, giving up a few features and specs, but you will get the most out of your money.
