Not ME! Loving my new iPhone 6. Let's be real though. No denying some may want to return it and go back to their old device. If so, post your reasons here...maybe we can help steer ya to keep going with it.

Came from a HTC One M8 and I loved that phone. Only thing that kept me from Apple devices were the screen size. My iPhone 6 is the same screen size in a smaller form factor. Apps and overall fluidity are so much better on the iPhone 6 also. Not going back.

I can't lie...I love the 6, but after spending the last couple days with it, I don't know that I WANT to get used to the size of it. This, for me, comes down to what I use my phone for. I don't take a ton of pics, I don't take in a ton of video or even watch things on my phone. Really, all I use my iPhone for is communication and social media, which admittedly look incredible on the 6. I also think this is a knee-jerk reaction from me a little. The ONE thing that I really do love about the 6 so far is call quality. For whatever reason, the calls I have taken/made on this thing are a big step up from my 5S in those terms. That might be reason enough to keep the 6. I really don't know why I'm waffling so much on this. I feel like there's 2 great phones(5S and the 6) and maybe i'm just missing the size? I also feel like I might as well get used to the size now because this seems to be where cell technology is going.

I'm with the majority of the other posters. I haven't had this much love for an iPhone since my (first) iPhone 4 in Verizon. Perfection!!

Well, considering that I came from a Blackberry which is a good phone but just not enough phone for me, I'm happy to stick with my iPhone 6.

My 5 served me very well and I liked it a lot. But the moment I got the 6 in my hands, there was no way I was ever going back!

BUT.... If there was a 5/5S-sized '6', ie a 4" screened rounded thin (<7mm) device, I would have considered that. I bet we see an updated 4" iPhone next year.

I've gotten use to the size of the 6 but I will more than likely be going back to my old device until the 6 Plus is available. I made the wrong choice!!

I just started a thread on this very issue. I'm a long-term iOS user (since 2008). I decided to get the M8 to try Android, and so far I like it ok. It doesn't really feel as polished as iOS though. I've been trying to decide if the plusses of my M8 are enough to keep me from going back to iPhone. I only have about a week left to decide. Decisions, decisions.
