iPhone 6 vs 6 plus

[Anthonyiamador]

I'm going to have to go with the 4.7 even though I would like to have optical stabilization, the larger one is just too big for my taste. Maybe next year. Can't wait till preorder though!

UGHHHHHHHH!!!! This sucks. I was set on 4.7" until they showed the battery life in the 6+ and OIS. The 6+ would also be great for pics, videos, games, browsing etc.
BUT
I'll always be aware it's in my pocket, one handed use would end in many instances, won't fit in my cup holder, or on the ledge in the stall at work lol, and looks all out huge in the hands on videos.

I honestly have no clue, NONE, on what I'm gonna do.

This. I feel like the Plus is just too big, being basically the same size as a Note. I've actually watched people holding a Note up to their head to talk on it and thought "Dang, I like big phones, but that thing looks ridiculous."

But now, I'm just not sure. I like the features of the Plus... but I don't know if I will really like the size. And the, I'm worried that if I go with the 4.7" phone I will see someone using the Plus and suddenly wish I had gone ahead and went with it.

Ugh...I am really lost on what I'm going to do.

At first after seeing the keynote I was for sure set on the 6 Plus due to better batt life, OIS and landscape mode. But reading some posts here makes me rethink it... I pocket my phone all the time. The Plus might just be too big. But the features are hard to ignore... Not to mention true 1080p and 401ppi (vs 326)... Ugh... First world problems...

6+ 64 GB in Space Gray. I wanted the 4.7", but the Display, Battery, and Camera swayed me to the 5.5" side. The battery, camera, and display are almost the same on the 6 as they are on the 5s.

OMG I CANT DECIDE :concern:

 

[matt3166]

OIS is nice, and better battery is nice, but coming from a 32 GB 5, I may stick with my initial thought, 64 GB iPhone 6. Does the 6 get the portrait mode or just 6 Plus? That may make my decision.

Just the 6+ has landscape

What about the antenna bands and camera ring? People were afraid and sadly, it's a reality now. I won't upgrade until they change the design at the back which won't happen until 6s or 7.
Happy with my iPhone 5.

the iPhone 6 64gb. I'd prefer the iPhone 6 128 gb but i'm on 64 now and I need to do other things with the money and pre announcement i'd already decided I'd drop down to 32gb. But since they are raising the storage I can live with 64gb. I need local storage too because i live near the ocean and many many places you simply can't get 3G signal let alone LTE and thus i can't rely on streaming from my google music account. Also i seem to be in an area where coverage just goes in and out and it's really annoying trying to listen to radio via tunein only to have it constantly buffering, then dropping out, then just your luck when you get a clear signal it's on commercial. Then you go inside a large store and 20 feet deep in the store it drops back out.

I won't touch the 6 plus. I've no interest in a large phone. The Galaxy Note is massive to me. It simply doesn't appeal to me. Honestly i'm on a 4s and it's not too small. I like the easy pocketability and i use it when working out and though heavy i manage. I don't know how it's gonna be with a 4.7 inch screen and damn i'm gonna need a new arm band. Regardless, i know some just want the largest device. Me, I'd prefer the trade off of a more convenient size so I'm going with the regular 6. I'm glad there is a choice though. That way everybody had something that works for them.

I've never understood the Jobs obsession with everything being thinner so personally I'd have rather they made it flush even if they had to make the shell thicker like the 5s. I don't care. I'd have taken the extra thickness and simply filled it with battery. More battery life. Granted i'm not letting that camera stop me from buying it.

 

[Alba Silva]

Both are fine, just depend of the screen you feel more comfortable with. [redacted], which is quite cool. Design hasn't change than much, there are some nice improvements, and Apple is still the best smartphone brand, but the price is way too much.

I'm torn between getting either of these new iPhones, or sticking with my 5S for another year until the updated iPhone 6S. I've been very happy with the 5S... and I don't regret skipping the iPhone 5 at all.

 

[moloes]

I was going to be happy with the 4.7 but now due to the higher pixel density of the plus and better battery performance across the board I am now in a bit of a conundrum.

 

[Arka1412]

For those upgrading which device do you feel will fit your needs more ?

Iphone 6 will be perfect..6+ is too large for me

 

[nikkisharif]

Yep. Beforehand thought I'd want the smaller size, but OMG! I don't know now.

I thought the same thing but I don't want to miss out on those few features with the 6, so I'm heavily leaning towards the 6+ *sigh* I hate big phones

 

[nikkisharif]

Is there a phone that is VERY similar to 6+ in size to see in stores right now? Because I want to see if it is too big for me or perfect.

It's larger than the GS5 & Note because of the bezel. I have a GS5 on my 2nd line & it's a tad awkward.

 

[Highrisedrifter]

You guys are so damn fickle ... 24 hours ago the 5s was the perfect phone, the 4.7" IP6 was gonna be too big, and that no way did a 5.5 iPhablet make sense. Welcome you wishy-washy-flip-floppers ...

I've mentioned any times before that my 4.7" HTC One M7 had the perfect screen size. It's the reason I run that and my iPhone together. Now I can drop the HTC and get a more reliable (my opinion) iOS-based device.

I think your sweeping generalisation is way off the mark.

 

[Jimbos Jumbos]

for those of you thinking of the 6 plus. Here is a pdf with actual size that you can print and cut out. The 6s is like an ipad mini

I was on the fence between the 6 and the 6+. I was talking with some coworkers (one of which has a Galaxy S3). The screen on that is 4.8" and it's the perfect size for me. I like the landscape mode, better battery and camera features on the 6+ but I think it's going to be way too big, especially since I always pocket my phone. Now that I know which phone I'm getting I need to decide on a color. Stick with my tried and true black (I've had 4 iPhones all black) or mix it up with white/silver?

Here is a comparison of the 6 and the 6 plus.

Visual Phone Size Comparison

To put it in perspective, the 6 plus is actually bigger than the Note 4. If you are coming from an Iphone 5 to a 6 plus, its basically like carrying two phones.

 

[finn5975]

This has to stop. The iPhone 6 Plus is not comparable in size to an iPad mini.

Good grief I'm starting to wonder if anyone has ever held an iPad mini.
