I'm set up to trade a guy my 6P for his 6S Plus tomorrow afternoon. Unlocked T-Mobile but already checked with VZW and it looks good to go!

I'm locked in with the fruit. This 6s Plus is such a good phone. It doesn't suck or leave me wanting with anything. I'm all in on this.

That's where I was with the 6 Plus before I traded it away for the 6P a month ago tomorrow. The 6P was getting such praise that I had to try it. I was not disappointed at all but I'll feel better with an iPhone if I'm not able to switch out my device for a while because we have new priorities! Long live years of iOS software support!

My priorities have changed a bit lately too. No time to be messing with phones all the time. And I always complained about the prices of Apple devices. But they aren't that expensive if you don't swap phones every other month. If I actually stuck with one for a year, I'd save a ton of money.

Who are you telling. I'm including the cases and screen protectors that I've purchased. That's about 60 bucks worth of crap. 85+ if I throw in the extra USB C charger I got from Google. That's where my money goes with the switching...all the accessories haha

That's a fact!! I spend stupid amounts on accessories!! I have 14 cases for my 6s Plus right now, plus just bought some camera accessories for it (olloclip lens, tri-pod and remote button)

To provide an update I ended up replacing my note 5 with a LG V10, while I appreciate the quality of the iPhone line I couldn't pass up all the features. I've been pleasantly surprised by the performance, screen quality, build quality, and camera quality

I guess it's not wonder MKBHD gives it the number 2 spot for best phablet of 2015 next to the Note 5

I see your 6P/6s Plus trade fell through, huh? That's too bad. I'm still very happy with this iPhone. Don't see me going back any time soon.

Yeah. Guy was supposed to call me yesterday at noon but I haven't heard from him since Wednesday afternoon/evening. While I was interested in making the trade, I'm content with what I have. Was honestly having second thoughts but would've still gone through with it LOL

Now that I've stopped using multiple phones and am just sticking to the 6s Plus I'm surprisingly happy. My wife and daughter are happy too and everything works great. I think I'll spend at least half-to-all of 2016 in the iPhone camp and may get a Mac too. I think it's gonna be a fun year.

It was a very fun (and expensive) year for me last year so I share your joy! The dark side is calling you....

That's exactly where I'm at. I don't have the stress of juggling phones and buying/selling. It started to drain on me. I'm staying all Apple for the foreseeable future.

That's too bad. I'm really enjoying this iPhone much more than I did with the 6P or any other Android phone I've had over the last couple of years.

The iPhone 6S Plus has been good for me, but I haven't been interested in it much since I bought it. Don't get me wrong, I use it all day everyday. But, I'm not really playing with it, or exploring features like I did with my Note 5. But I have been all over my iPad Air 2.

It does everything I need a phone to do, and does it pretty much flawlessly. Android phones are certainly more feature packed. But I always have issues with something that's a deal breaker. Don't have that here. Plus I'm actually able to enjoy my life outside of a phone, with still having a great phone that does absolutely everything I want or need.

That sounds awesome.

I will say that for what I use a phone for, the 6P and one's iPhone of choice do them equally well. I think at this point the combo of the 6P and my iPad Air 2 are really good. The Air 2 can control all of the Apple ecosystem stuff I've amassed over the years since it's all at my house. The 6P gives me the Google device I want since much of my mobile life is related to Google and their services anyway!

Yeah, I don't blame you or anyone else for using a 6P. That's an awesome phone. I just had some issues with it that make the iPhone better for me. The OIS in the camera for videos makes the 6s Plus perfect for chasing a 3 year old around. The 6P looked like crap compared to this. I also had some Bluetooth issues and it's been rock solid on my iPhone. And then battery life - I was ending the night around 10-15% on my 6P. I'm going to bed around 40% on my iPhone. I do miss the customization on Android for sure. But until I can trust an Android device like I do my iPhone and until they have an Android phone and laptop/tablet that work together the way Apple does, I'll stay with the fruit.
