...and I was SHOCKED! OH MY GOD!! I was like WOW!

First of all, I picked up an iPhone 5s again after 2 weeks with the Plus. Wow, I first thought the 5s was an iPod nano. It's like how did I use this for a full year it's barely more than a toy!!
And then I saw the 6... Oh, the "portability"! I get it! It felt like a 5s with rounded corners! Did the screen size even change?
I thought maybe the people who said iPhone 6 Plus was too big for them could have a point... Maybe the 6 was a handier option? But NOOO it's not even big at all. I mean, no offense to happy 6 owners, but this experience has definitely confirmed my suspicion, that I would never ever ever ever want an iPhone 6. And YES offense to those who say the 6 is too big for them... It has an okayishly small size but WTF how can you think it's too big... I can reach all four corners with my thumb so what's the fuzz about?

Agree completely. My old 5s looks so tiny. Even the 6. When I first saw the 6+ next to the 6 I thought the 6 was an older model. I had to look closely to confirm it was indeed a 6.

Once you go plus you can never go back. :)

If you think that's bad then try to compare the 6+ to the 4S. I can't believe I use the 4S for three years and got along with it. After using my 6+ for one week It feels like a normal size phone. My 4S now looks like a tiny toy.

And then throw use ability in the mix. The battery life (at least the Plus) smashes the battery life of any phone I've ever used.

Exactly I don't even want to see an iPhone 4s because it will make me wonder how quite some time ago I even had that thing ...:mad: nothing more than a toy
Also, I was quite confused because the iPod touch has a protruding camera lens too on the 16GB model. Never even knew it had a rear cam. Screen was tiny tiny as well

Seems like an inflammatory way to post your satisfaction with your 6+. :eek: And BTW I have one as well and love it.

Agree about the 5s and 6. I've had my plus since the 19th and love it. I went to the Apple Store a few days after I got it so the wife can try out the 6. She had the plus. I swear it took me a minute trying to figure out if it was a 5s or the 6. She ended up getting the 6 and a few days after that went back again and exchanged it for a plus. She is very happy with hers. She told me going from a plus back to a 6 made her appreciate the plus even more. Sure, the 6 is more portable but for my wife and I, the benefits of the plus(1080p screen, ios and MUCH better battery life) outweigh the negatives. The plus is a beautiful phone. I actually look forward to using it and haven't felt that way since the first iPhone I got.

People aren't exactly one size fits all. There's a reason why you can buy XS, S, M, L, XL, etc gloves. :rolleyes:

I was sharing my opinion on the iPhone 6, and no one forces the sh something guy to read it and tell me he doesn't care. ;)

No offense but I felt the same way in my opinion.

I look at the 5S and it looks like a cute tiny lil toy. So adorable!

Me? Insecure? Lol I had a good laugh when I noticed the phone I was holding was a 6. I couldn't be happier with my plus.

What was the good laugh about? What was so funny?

This has nothing to do with this meathead thread. I just hate people that LOL when something not funny. Please explain.

Maybe I'm the minority on this, but I own a 6+ and like the 6, 5S and 4S.

1. Your username pre-disqualifies this post to be taken seriously.
2. It's funny cause the iPhone 6 is so small it's basically no different than the 5s.

New tech compared to old tech will give this impression - same thing you'd experience all over again now if you used a Note 4 or BlackBerry Passport.
