This chart compares all the feature and specification differences between iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 (all 2014 Apple iOS models). Price comparisons reflect the Wi-Fi + Cellular iPads and full MSRP iPhones (no carrier subsidies). If a feature is not mentioned it is because they all either have it or all do not have it. A few things standout:
- iPad Air 2 has the fastest processor with A8X chip containing 3 billion transistors
- iPad Air 2 is the thinnest device, despite having largest screen
- Both iPads are priced $120 or $220 less than iPhone 6 Plus
- iPad mini 3 has weakest specifications
