TL;DR I have a iPhone 6S Plus

[Ledsteplin]

Yeah I think I'll be alright. Battery life is just as good as my windows phone.

Low signal is hurting your battery life.

Low signal is hurting your battery life.

If it is, it is negligable

How can you tell? I get 11? to 12 hours usage time with my 6s Plus (Samsung chip) with a decent signal. Something is holding your battery life down. Maybe it's something else. 2 hours or so difference between yours and mine is substantial. Is that about average for you?

Are you inferring we all should be getting the same usage as you although we use our devices completely different? I get approx 6-7 usage hours between charges which is great to me for what I do and how I use my device.

No, usage will vary depending on what an individual does on their phone. I was just suggesting he might do better with a better signal. Like I said, it might be other factors.

You can't force a phone to have a better signal anyways. I use GPS navigation, spotify, and a lot of feedly, and Web browsing.

No, but being aware of it may help. And, your carrier may have a device that will boost your signal.

It isn't affecting anything significantly so I will not worry about it.

If I recall correctly you were reluctant to get a larger phone. So I have two questions:

1) What made you change your mind?
2) How are you adjusting to the size? Is it as bad as you thought it would be?

(technically three questions, but two are related)

Are you typing one handed or two handed? Reason I ask is because while I like larger phones in general, they are harder to type one handed.

 

[A895]

I'm typing this one handed, it requires a lot of wiggling though.

Battery life is what made me change my mind. And the size is considerable but livable. The phone is wide.

I'm fighting between the 6s Plus and 6s right now, too. I love the one handed use of the 6s, but I also feel like I'm missing out on the battery life and slightly better screen of the Plus. But man, it's so convenient to just be able to pull your phone out and do some quick work on it with one hand. I'm not a large dude, and I had some considerable trouble with things like that on the 6 Plus. But I also love not having to worry about battery life at all. Decisions!

Battery life won't make much difference between the two. Screen size, however, will. I love the 5.5" screen. And it's not that bad using and pocketing. Fits all my pockets real well.

I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago. When Verizon refused to carry the new Windows Phones I figured I'd use the next year to see how I liked the 6s+. I hope to get a Surface Phone next year if the rumors are true and VZW carries it! Until then I'm liking the 6s+ and who knows, maybe I don't ever go back!

The surface phone is a rumor of a rumor.
