Okay, now that many of you have had the 6+ for a few days now (and a whole work day) does it still feel like a phone you want for two years? I am still on the fence, and the reactions I am reading online are interesting. There have been a few articles written about people bringing their phones back and swapping for the 6. I have the 6 now, but I am contemplating the opposite.

I upgrade every year but if I kept my phone for 2 years, I'm very positive I'd be happy with my 6+. I'm not at al, a fan of unwieldy devices but as big as this is, it doesn't feel bad. I've had to find different ways to carry it because of the size but all in all I'm pleased with my purchase.

Coming from the Note 3, the size doesn't bother me at all, but it is taller than the Note 3. I absolutely love my 6+. I carry a purse anyway so it just goes inside one of the pockets. I held my co-worker's 6 for a minute and I was like "I cannot go back to anything smaller than 5"..lol

It's a review by an iPhone user. Any non biased review anyone can share? Especially this will be my very first iPhone, ever.

wwjoshdew on YouTube should have a review coming soon. This is his first Apple anything, ever.

This was i was hoping to see, a good honest answer. I can deal with adjusting my grip for such a nice screen!

Anyone have anything to say about the bending issues that were reported today?

Doesn't bother me. I can't let stuff like this spoil my excitement. Prime example...there were a ton of people complaining about the charging port cover breaking off of their Galaxy S5 with normal wear & tear after a week or two but I've had mine a few months & it's perfectly fine. If something like this is going to bother you, return your device & find one that no one is talking about. I'm not trying to be an *** about it but this type of stuff pops up about every new device. It's a part of the process!

IPhone 6 Plus :reviews and first impressions

It's definitely not just "talk", there's several videos showing that the phone bends with little force. I do think I agree about the apple care plus plan though, and a good hard case. No matter what I'll never be happy with a plain 6.

I really think you will be fine. That guy put a ton of pressure on that phone. Also, this happened when the iPhone 5 came out as well. A few of those bent when the right amount of pressure was put on them, but it's not something the phone was know for.

I saw a video yesterday of a guy bending his space gray 6+. In it, he says it was painful to bend. It definitely takes more than a "little force" to make it happen.

Same here. I honestly don't care what people think but they're starting to get on my nerves with the "it's huge" comment. Of course it's huge, there's no denying it and I choose to use it so leave me alone!!! lol

Re: How are you finding the 6 plus?

1st Impression: "Wow, this is big.."

2nd Impression: "Yikes, the screen is clear"

After about 10 minutes I went back to my 5s to restore to factory settings and found it to be horribly small. I'm absolutely loving the size and quality of the 6 Plus!
