Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
After having the Nexus 6 the 6 Plus actually felt perfect in my hand.

Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back, does anyone else feel this way?

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
I like iOS. I am back on my old Nexus 5 at the moment as I sold the 6 Plus (wanted to get top dollar so I can buy the 6s Plus). Just upgraded the Nexus 5 to Marshmallow Android 6.0 and can not tell much difference in the overall OS for Android. I still am a Google fan boy but am very happy with my decision to switch to the iPhone. I can't help but think how good Android would be if it was a closed ecosystem and they had kept Motorola and only had to design an OS for One phone and release only one phone a year. What I do not like about Android is there was never a phone that truly had it all, either had a good camera or a good battery, or something that took away from the phone over all. I love that Apple really does not have a lot of trade offs and I can buy a phone in Sept and not ave to worry about upgrading for a year and the resale value in phenomenal!!!!!
Thanks for asking

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
I completely understand. I've been a Google fan boy since the Droid X, but I can't help but get frustrated with Android. I've never found that one device that has it all and I constantly find myself searching for something new to cover what is missing in my current device. It gets rather expensive and annoying. I love Android for sure, but I'm so tired of the hunting for a new device game. I also agree that Android could be so much smoother and give a better overall experience if they didn't completely saturate the market with umpteen billion devices. I'm using a Nexus 6 now, but it will be going up for sale soon. I have both an unlocked S6 and unlocked 6 Plus on order and will be using one of those as my daily driver (the other one will be going up for sale). I also have a Pixel and will have to decide if I want to dump that for a MacBook or not.

I recently bought one from Google, so I could still return it for a refund if need be. What do you miss? I'm still waiting for mine in the mail.

It's not worth the loss of OIS and a better display to go down to the 6.

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
Went with the 6.. I used a Nexus 6 and a LG G3 before and I just couldn't get used to the size. I knew I wouldn't get used to the size of the 6+. Sticking with the 6 size factor.

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
Psh don't get me started on this subject been dealing with Finn's indecisiveness over the 6 vs 6+ for a year LOL. He's going 6S+ supposedly but we'll see. I recently switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and got a 6+ cause I plan on upgrading to the 6S+ and so far I'm really liking the size wish I hadn't returned my original 6+ last September.

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
It took me over a month to make my decision. I game a lot and decided the 6+ was for me. After purchasing it and using it for a few weeks I knew i made the correct choice. Its still small and fits in my pocket fine. The battery life is phenomenal compared to the smaller 6. Now that I am used to the size the 6 just feels like another kids toy. I find myself just using my phone instead of my laptop now for daily browsing tasks.

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
Heh. I did the same as him. Tried it twice. Went back to 5S. (The 6 was never much of an upgrade over the 5S IMO). I don't feel much like playing that game this year. The 6S it is. Until they announce the features, and then watch me flip flop yet again..lol
My use case is mostly portrait besides videos. Mostly organization apps. Very few games. I much prefer an ipad for games. So the landscape features of the Plus aren't much of a factor either. If the Plus came with a stylus made for it and plugged in to the top, I'd probably switch in a heartbeat and not have the flip flop issues. This has nothing to do with android or Samsung, it's more to do with my Palm history. I'd love a stylus in an iphone and feel it'd change the experience especially once devs supported it.

I see you sold your Nexus 5. Did you get another iPhone to use until the S comes out?

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
I have had both, I prefer the 6 Plus .. Only issue I have had is darn rotation, I wish there was a option to disable rotation on the lock screen only.

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
I'm sitting here torn. Got my 6 setup and serving me well. Have an offer to do an even swap, 64GB 6 for 64GB 6 Plus because they find the Plus to be too big. In the grand scheme of things, the size was what brought me back to the 6 but the battery in the Plus was amazing when I had it before.
Another hang up is their 6 Plus runs out of Apple Warranty on 11/16/15 while my 6 is good until 05/2016. Not a huge deal since I'm sure nothing will happen but I sure have enjoyed that piece of mind.

I sold my 6 in April and got the Plus and I couldn't be happier. Next year I'm getting the 7 Plus, hehehe...

Re: Once you go 6 Plus once you'll always go back
I went from the 6 to the 6S+. I love it, I don't think I could go back to the 6... I'm so used to this size already even tho I have small hands!
