Months after purchase - do you regret it? Do you have Plus envy ?

I'll admit... I do have plus envy, lol. My first concern was that it was too big and I didn't need it, but in my defense, the Verizon store didn't have demo models at the time for me to actually compare it to. Now that I've had the 6 for a few weeks and the stores are now equipped with demo models, I find myself always going in to handle it. It's extremely more lightweight than I figured, and since I never actually put a phone up to my ear (since the Nokia N-Gage taco era) it really wouldn't be a big deal as far as phone use. Plus, I never put phones in my jeans pockets so that wouldn't have been an issue either.
I'm going to hold out for another month when I add my sons line to my plan and let him have the 6 and then get the plus. Lol what was I thinking! :p

Nope- small hands... Way too big for me. I actually still look at it and think- man that thing is huge. Love my 6

Not really.
Had a Plus. Loved it for all the obvious reasons, and was annoyed by it for all the obvious reasons (size/handling). I love big screen phones, but the Plus was simply not practical for me for daily use. I absolutely need to be able to operate my phone one handed at work without any fuss. With the Plus I found myself putting it down and picking it back up a lot while I was working on what I was doing, whereas, with the 6, I can keep it in hand while doing other things with my hands. The 6 really is a perfect size for the hand, and it's designed that way as well in regards to button placement. The way-up-there position of the power button on the Plus is pretty silly.

I do love my 6, but I'm definitely throwing around the idea of getting a 6s+ next year. I love the size and feel of the 6 in my hand, but the larger screen and better battery life are tempting me to jump to a 6s+ next year. For this year though, I am more than content with the iPhone 6. :)

The iPhone 6 is the perfect size for me but I do occasionally wish I took the plunge and got a Plus (if nothing else the extra battery). I don't think I'd be happy using a Plus daily. It's just too large for how I use and store my phone (pockets).

Funny story - I bought a new pair of jeans a few weeks ago. I wore them for the first time this week. The pockets are extremely shallow, which I vaguely remember thinking when I was trying them on. Stuck my phone in the front pocket and about 1/3 was sticking out the top.

Having the iPad mini to fall back on when the 6 just isn't cutting it has been a great way to avoid even looking at the 6+. I have had the iPad mini for over a year now though. I just can't stop loving that thing...

No. I still love my 6 and I still believe the 6+ is too big for me. That will probably change in the future, but not now.

I wanted the plus because it didn't feel big in my hand and it had a better display, battery life, and camera, but it was going to be too big to fit in my pockets when I got a case on it.

No "plus envy" here. I preordered an iPhone 6 plus, but after two days decided it wasn't practical for me (too large) and exchanged it for an iPhone 6. I enjoy using the iPhone 6; it fits my lifestyle.

Not really. When Apple shrinks the bezels, maybe I'll jump on. But for a 5.5" screen there's lots of bezels and size isn't really worth it.

I feel like I want the 6+ because I no longer have an iPad ‼️‼️
May still get it and sell 6, never have issues making money off old phones to buy news one as I want them😉👍👏😜✌️☝️
