The display has a "broader" angle of view.

The 6 Plus has a different UI 

On the 6 Plus, you can go horizontal to get a 2 pane display. It's basically like the iPad Mini, when you use it in landscape

The homescreen can work horizontally too. 

New keyboard keys for cut copy and paste on the 6 Plus. What of the iPad?

There's a new gesture for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus called "reachability."

You double-touch the home button and the whole display just slides down, so you can reach the top buttons.

The power button is on the side now, so it's easier to reach.

New chip: the Apple A8. It's a 64-bit chip.

Battery life: equal or better. The iPhone 6 Plus claims 24 hours of 3G talk time.

The M8 "motion coprocessor" is also on board, of course. It's designed for fitness apps.

The new M8 can tell the difference between cycling and running, and it can also calculate distance and elevation.

The LTE is better now. There are 20 LTE bands, which is insane. And it does "carrier aggregation" to maximize speed.

It also supports VoLTE, which is Voice over LTE. It makes your calls sound better. "We're working with a lot of carriers around the world."

Wi-Fi is 802.11ac, which is good and fast Wi-Fi.
