iPhone 6 vs 6 plus

[tomo63]

Been working with two cardboard models part of the day. The 6+ may fit in front or rear jeans pocket but forget about sitting unless you pull it out. The iphone 5 and hopefully 6 , will easily fit in slacks or jeans and the 6 faired well with a test in sitting down.

I need the big one. I need the battery life.

That’s what SHE said.

Seriously, though, I am mildly concerned about the battery of the 6. The 6 Plus has a significantly better battery spec, and Apple tossed in OIS, to boot.

I think if the bezel on the 6+ was reduced I'd choose it with zero hesitation. As it is, the extreme bezel and overall height has me thinking it's, dare I say it, unattractive

All caveats apply. Just my opinion. Haven't seen it in person. Not hating, etc. Just coming to grips that that it's actually the 'front' of the 6+, not the back, that has me a bit turned off.

Edit: I need to straighten up. Until it's in my cold sweaty hands, passing judgement is premature and futile.

I honestly don't know, before the Apple Keynote I was set on the iPhone6 (4.7), now I'm totally confused...Damn you Apple (in a good way) SMILE

This.

I am of the same opinion regarding the bezels on the 6+. Extra screen real estate is always good, but the bezels make the whole phone tad too big.

I'm coming over from a Nexus 5. N5 and the IP6 both are almost identical in dimensions so switching to a 6 would be seamless for me.
BUT, I used Note 3 for a brief period when it came out and really liked the bigger screen.
I have about 31 hours to make up mind on which one to pre-order.

Anyone else feel the 12th is taking forever to get here to pre-order. Does the phone ship on the 19th or will we get the phone on the 19th. Need to know when to take off so I can play with the phone alllll day

I want to touch and feel the devices first before I buy, I am currently rocking the LG G3 so the 6+ will need to beat the LG before I consider switching. I like the bigger device personally I would never go back to a smaller device. I just purchased a Macbook Pro Retina so a new Iphone would compliment nicely.

You will get it on the 19th

Aaaaaaannnnddd now I can't decide again. Curse you Apple for releasing 2 great phones instead of just 1!

I need the big one. I need the battery life.

The battery life of the 6+ is the only reason I'm considering it right now

 

[tomo63]

Why. Why couldn't they make 5". 4.7 too small. Not enough of screen gain from IPhone 5. 5.5 too big. Won't fit in my pants. Will leave it some place or loose it.

I don't know if I hate big phones because I've never used one. I'm also certain that neither of the phones will fit in my jeans front pocket.
However my husband sort of made my decision for me. I get the new phone every year and he gets my one year old phone. Although he did say it was my choice, he expressed a preference for the bigger one.

I'm using a GS5 everyday as my work phone & it's pretty darn awkward. The screen real estate is nice but the hugeness of the phone isn't. I'm pretty sure the new iPhone will be the same for me, especially since it's bigger than the note

I'm 6'8" tall. My mitts are very big. That 6+ is huge.

The 6 looks small in those big mitts of yours however!

I really want to pre-order this Friday but struggling between the 6 and 6+. Thinking about ordering both and then return one.

 

[tyler_barnhardt]

Like everyone else I am undecided. I know I don't have a choice though. I honestly don't believe the 6+ would fit in my jeans. Have to go with the 6. Little bummed because I feel like I'm not getting the best iPhone available but I'm getting the iPhone that works best for me.

Here is an iPhone 6 sizing chart from CNN.

I'm not 6'8" like Finn, but I do have very large hands. Here's my pics. The 6 plus is really big. But, the 6 doesn't seem much larger than my 5.

I may end up buying the 6 plus simply out of fear that I will regret it if I don't. But wow, it's big. Hope I adjust to it quickly.
