So you don't have one and you give an opinion? Great review. Bigger screen = better for video, typing, games not to mention better battery life.
yes. I've seen so many dismissive "it's just a big iphone" posts since launch. and - yes, it is. can't deny it. but the experience of using one is much more than that description may lead you to believe.
one thing I can tell you - the screen is noticeably sharper than the 6's. go to the Apple Store and check 'em out side by side.
I went 6 after thinking it over and trying both. 6plus is too big, its basically the size of an external harddrive but taller. If apple would reduce the chin/forehead and went with a 5" screen it would be perfect and eliminate the need for two sizes.
Gaf has a boner for big phones but the regular 6 outsells the plus 3-1. So reselling might be easier with a 6. The only real advantage the 6+ has is battery but you should really try both before deciding.(the paper printouts aren't enough)

Think the normal 6 is allready a tad too big.. So i'd personally never buy a 6plus.
Yeah, 6 is the perfect size.

This is really something you have to make yourself. The Plus is a different beast all together. It's much bigger and pretty much a tiny iPad. You'd have to actually want to carry something that big with you.
I want a Plus right now, but I haven't seen one yet. I might change my mind once I play with one. You need to look at them in person. One is a Phablet. The other a big cell phone.

The six is the perfect size and the battery should last you all day. My 5's batter would be close to dead before I got home, and now my six lasts until I fall asleep, and even then it's still alive by a good bit. Go for a six. The 6+ is too big and it's only additions are a bigger battery and OIS, but if you don't care about OIS then the battery in the six shouldn't be a differentiator. Go for the six.

Can any of you 6+ folks comment on how it feels in relation to an iPad mini? I'm leaning toward the 6 and will be buying in the next couple weeks.

I want the 6's size, but it bothers me that the Plus is better in ways not related to screen size. Pixel density, that camera feature, battery life. It makes me not want to get either, because I feel like I'm getting screwed at my preferred screen size.

Went from a 5 to a 6+ and I could never picture myself going back, or changing to even something as big as the 6. I'm ruined. Phablets for life.
My next phone might be a Note 6 though, when my contract is up for renewal in 2016. Phablet + stylus seems like a good team.
Still feels much smaller than a Mini. You can hold a Mini in one hand, but it's not the most comfortable. I can wrap my hands 80% around the 6+, and I don't have the largest hands for a man. I'm sure there's a size somewhere between the 6+ and the Mini where the line really blurs, but the 6+ still definitely feels like a phone compared to the Mini.

Yeah, even as someone who has a couple pairs of skinny jeans, it's a complete non issue.
Maybe they have a thinner waistline than me but I am already a size 30.

The only time the phone sticks out of my pocket is when it's catching on that interior pocket that's inside your pocket. Total non issue.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
No OIS on the 6 means go 6+.

6+ all the way. I was worried about the size at first, but I'll never go back to using a small phone. I've had mine since early October, and Im still completely in love with this thing. The battery is incredible, and noticeably better than my wife's 6. I still use an old iPhone 4 as an alarm clock and the thing feels like a toy.
You can read comics without straining your eyes, you can play games with virtual controls much more easily than you could with a 6 or an iPad mini because the spacing is perfect, and watching videos from Netflix is better too. And it's also easier to type on.

Go to the store and try each out for awhile.
I have a 6 Plus and with medium sized hands I got used to the bigger screen except for reaching a button on the keyboard on the other side one handed. Visually I like the bigger screen and the battery life and OIS. Those traits overcame the benefit of one handed use of the smaller 6.

Get a plus. I feel like the 6 only exists as a stepping stone to get people iPhone users (including myself) acclimated to larger screens.
I went from a 5 to a 6 plus and never really regret it for a second. My fiances 5s feels so small now whenever I use it.

Missed my point. My point is that it is so large and outside the form factor of a phone, it would be dominatingly and comically large. Not that he would use an iPhone. Just that a 6+ loses the slickness of a phone in size.

I have a 6 Plus. It's amazing, but certainly it takes a manly man to tame one and operate it with confidence. The feeling of using one is best described as unashamed indulgence combined with pride that comes from the knowledge that you are at the top of the mobile food chain. Concerns of single handed operation or pocketability are mere echoes from past experiences with lesser phones that sheepishly become subordinates to the user, whereas the Plus can be never truly emasculated, just commandeered.
I'm lucky to get one day out of my iPhone 6.
I use Whatsapp and have quite a few group chats tho.
I thought the 6 plus would be hard to use with one hand. Until I bought one and started using it with one hand
Yeah occasionally you get the case where your like, hey my thumb can't reach that. At which point you simply adjust your grip a bit or use that second hand for 1 second and then you are back in business. You adjust pretty easily to it and it's completely worth it for what you are doing most of the time: looking at the screen

Better not post about your iPhone 7, 8, or 9 otherwise James Bond will come back to bite you in the ass! For Life!
Yep. I was worried it was too big when I first ordered one. It's great. Fits fine in my pockets too.
I prefer the 6 over the 6+, but only because of the size. If size isn't an issue, get the 6+. If it is, try them both out in the store first before you decide to get a 6 because maybe you could see yourself getting used to a 6+.
I have an iPhone 6, and I can't even type with one hand. I hope Apple includes some smaller phones in the lineup next year!

If going from iPhone 4 to Xperia Z3v is any indicator I think the Plus comes out ahead on a whole. I do kind of miss having everything in thumb's reach, but you still can get far with a single handle on a 5.x inch screen and it's not as if the iPhone 4 size was optimal there either.
Still, using a phone closer to the iPhone 6's size on occassion that IS a respectable size too. I don't think you can REALLY go wrong regardless, except if you really want a sharper, larger view for something like a PDF, and a tablet's still tough to beat there.

We got those for all the iphone fucking retards that wanted to sign up to a phone on day 1.
Here is a Note 3 and a G3 for example...nah I'd rather compare it to piece of paper.
"Errmaageerrd will it fit in my pocket."
Felt like I had gone back in time to when android users were getting big phones when the Note 1 came out.
Yes it will fit in your pocket.
Not it won't fit if you are wearing your sisters jeans.
Get a fucking 6 plus. I promise you won't be reminded at how shit a job apple did with it every time you see someone with a G3 or a Note 4.

it just depends on your personal preference. Personally, I would never buy a phone as big as the plus. The 6 with a slim case is about my limit. I love the 6 though.
Dude, it is just a phone.

Well, you're such a charming young man, aren't you? Must be fun at parties.
Plus is the way to go. Have had mine for a few weeks now and feel that this is where devices are heading into some amalgamation of tablet and phone. More pure usability than a tablet but less constrained by the screen size of a phone.
(As a note I moved from the s4 so the size difference is less apparent than moving from the 4s or 5 in terms of size.)

As a Nexus 6 owner, get the Plus. The size is amazing.

Went from iPhone 4 to a 6 (this week, I'm in love with it) and I think it's big enough. 6+ is just too big for me to use and carry around comfortably.

Coming from a 5s, the 6+ is likely to feel shockingly big. I went from a 5 to a 6+ And I couldn't stand it. I traded the 6+ for a 6 and loved the size but was super disappointed in the battery. After spending about a week with the 6, I went back to a 6+ and suddenly I wasn't so shocked by the size. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the 6+. Bells and whistles aside, the battery is the killer feature.
