Re: Switching from 4S to 5S

I hate how you say this as fact. I had thought this until I actually got a 6. I immediately longed for my 5S.

Even web browsing as you say is better on the 6 than 5S I find more comfortable on my 5S due to how I hold it in my hand. I don't have shift the phone in my hand to hit certain elements on a webpage when I use it one handed (I do almost all of my web browsing on my 5S with one hand) or be forced to have to use two hands. Maybe if you have bigger hands than me (I'll admit mine are on the small size) you'll disagree with and that is fine but to say as a fact, that web browsing is always better on a bigger phone and that you'll regret getting a smaller phone because all of your friends have a bigger one is bologna. Every time I see a 6/6S in the wild it actually makes me appreciate my 5S that much more.

My hands are on bigger side and I still prefer the 5s size. Like you mentioned, there is no adjusting or shifting or having to use another hand. I also prefer how its pocketable. I was using my friends 6+ the other day, and it truly annoyed me that some sites went into desktop view rather than being responsive for mobile devices. Looking at a full website on a phone (no matter it's screen size) is just awful IMO.
