Longtime Android user here, since 2009. I've been envious of the iPhone 3.5/4" screensize for a long time. Not because we didn't have that on the other side, but because for the better quality models, we never really had one.
I've been wanting to make the switch to an iPhone for a while for the build quality bump and one-handed use, and the iPhone6 was going to be that time.. but now you guys have the same crap size we put up with.
I use a GS3 at the moment, and it's too big for one-handed use.
I knew Apple was going to release a larger size, but I was hoping for an updated 4" model, and a new 5.5". Not a 4.7/5.5.
By the way, the posts here read like people that haven't ever used a 4.7" phone before. Also, it sounds like most of you would eat up whatever Apple chose to sell you.
Steve J had it right with the 3.5/4 size. Like he said, people don't even know what they want.. you have to provide them what's best, not ask them.
I'm probably going to pickup a 5S, disheartening to see Apple go down this road of what amounts to garbage designs. The 6+ makes sense, if you're going to make it too big for most people to use 1 handed comfortably, then just go to a phablet.
For my wife, who wanted a Note3, I suggested she wait for something similar from Apple. Since she carries her phone in her purse, the 6+ makes sense.
To me the 6 is the worst of every world like my GS3. Too big for one handed use, too small to be as impactful or useful as the 6+. 5S or 6+ are the only choices for me.
~4.7" is extremely awkward of a size, even for my friends with huge hands who can reach all 4 corners without adjustments.
Just to update you on your future, those who think you need more time with the 6. You never do really get used to the size of the 4.7" screen. You keep thinking so, but you don't. You occasionally forget about it, and you also drop it more often.
If you live in a city and use public transportation daily as I do, sometimes standing while having to use your phone (mines not a toy, it's used for work and pages as I'm a doctor), the 5S is the only choice.
