Editor’s Note:
As you know, all the iOS devices can only support MP4, MOV, M4V format. If your video files on your computer aren’t supported by iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you need to convert various music and videos to iPhone 6 (Plus) friendly formats.
Here you can go to download and install the best iPhone 6 Video Converter(compatible with Windows and Mac) on your computer. This video converter is the one I’m using now that helps me convert any HD video like MKV, MTS, M2TS, MPG, VOB, TiVo, FLV, AVI, WMV, etc to iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus at ultra fast speed with high output quality. Plus, this video converter allows you to edit your video files like cropping, trimming, adding 3D effect, adding image/video/text watermark, etc as you need. Have a good experience on your iPhone 6.
