Apple announced a new flashy iPhone 6 with a new name called iPhone 6 Plus, which basically is a bigger screen (5.5 inch) iPhone 6. Though we are not going to dig into the specifications and other features, it is simple to state that Apple is now following Samsung.

Samsung started the trend to have bigger screens on the phone when they introduced the Galaxy Note series. Original Galaxy Note had a 5.3 inch display. I still remember Apple fans trolling over Internet putting comments like “Galaxy Note is too big and it is just a Tab with phone functionality”.

So after 3 years Apple now felt that, they need their phones to be bigger. Is is because of Galaxy Note series’ success?

Also, when introducing the new big iPhone 6 plus, Apple announced a new feature called Split Screen. This is already there in Android from quite some time. In fact, this feature has been already there in the original Galaxy Note.

So is the new iPhone 6 Plus a new innovation of Apple or just plain copy of Galaxy Note series?
