Does anyone have the 6S+ and regret due to size? Alternatively does anyone have the 6S and wish they wouldve snagged the plus for the extra screen and battery?

I'm one generation behind, BUT I am with you on size. I have the 6 Plus and I have no regrets. Battery life is tremendous. I can skip a day and I'm fine the next day name me an Android that can manage this! Although I will admit I got to go easy on day two. ;) (or charge at some point) But my point is the battery is fantastic. I also really appreciate the extra screen real estate, watching media is a dream!

I had the 6 and got the 6S Plus. Absolutely no regrets. Took no time to get used to the extra size and I'm loving the battery!

I do somewhat regret the 6s+ I mean its bigger than what it should be, I've been going through cases to find something that doesn't make my hand hurt or makes the phone unbearably long/big. It's fine one handing bare but slap a case on and bye bye. For how small the screen is the phone itself is too big Imo.

Depends. If you use it without a case or even with an Apple case it's probably fine. But add one of those thick otterbox case and you're asking for trouble.

I bought the 6s Plus also, and I don't regret it one bit. I love the screen size. I was using a 4s just a couple of months ago and then I was upgraded by my employer to a 5s which was a nice screen size upgrade.

My issue was I kept getting 16 gig models and hated the storage issues that I constantly had. I got fed up and got a personnel cell phone and loved the screen size over the 6s. Since I've bought my 6s Plus, I hardly use my iPad Air.

I use a iPad Mini and thought the 6s+ would take it over but I found the portability to be an issue for me. Stuck with the 6s.... though may try the + again on the next go around :) This one has to hand down to my daughter but next cycle will be my wife's so I'll be able to upgrade without having to worry about handing it down to someone who doesn't want the larger size.

I have a 6+ and a 6S+. I have no regrets in buying them. I still have a 5S for times when I want to use a smaller phone.

I actually find that using the Apple case is pretty comfortable; I still get some discomfort but it's way less than most of the aftermarket cases

I like my Otterbox case. It feels comfortable and isn't too bulky at all. Why would one be asking for trouble?

Owning both sizes I'll say it's a personal decision. The big one is fantastic for my job, and as a camcorder in addition to battery life and reading device. The small one is fantastic for doing action sports and not knowing you're carrying it.

I had s 6s+ and now a 6s, while I do miss the screen size at times, I like the feel of the 6s in the hand. It feels more comfortable. I usually make it through the day on a charge and if I don't, I'm rarely far from a charger. No biggie, pun intended. Lol
