I'm still torn between the 6 or the 6+. I really would like something in between, like a 5" screen. 6+ is nice and fits in my pocket, not sure if I would like to go that big. Decisions
Go with the larger one. I think you'll be happy with it.

When I pick up a 5 or 5S now they feel too small and like toys. But the 6 feels alright too (I am on a 6 plus now). I think 6 is the perfect size if only it had the battery of the 6 plus. But once more and more apps are updated to take advantage of the bigger screen the 6 Plus will be the better device.
After having the 6 plus for awhile I thank the gods above that I did not settle for the 6. Originally I thought the 6 Plus was too big but now after getting used to it, it is an amazing experience. The experience is much greater than that of my girlfriend's 6. My camera is noticeably better than hers, both with photo and video. Also, I didn't think that the screen resolution would be noticeable to my eyes but my display is clearly more sharp and beautiful than her's. At this point, the size actually feels comfortable and picking up my 5s felt laughable, it felt like a miniature toy.
Oh and the battery is heavenly, just heavenly.
Point of this post: Everyone get a 6 Plus. It is well worth it and is clearly the better phone.
edit - this is making 6 users mad evidently lol
Those arent even really features, I actually prefer the faster fade animation of going in and out of apps from Reduce Motion, and I dont quite frankly really care about transparent windows in iOS, (control center transparent, etc, big deal for that I dont really care about that)
Its not nessacerily disabling any features at all actually, it is just changing the look of the OS ever so slightly , thats all, no features or functions of the phone get disabled at all
You should try Reduce Motion and Reduced Transparency, it really does make it buttery smooth though(and I happen to prefer these two options on anyway because I like the fade animation Reduce motion gives better then the stock animation when going in and out of apps, and also I like the darker notification center with Reduced transparency, the keyboard is also darker in some applications which I actually like too

I'm a 6 owner and I'm not mad....I tried to like the 6 Plus but in the end I couldn't....for the record I had no issues with its size and getting it in my pocket but I like one handed use allot and the 6 is already allot more work than my 5. Anyways I was a target and I saw a 5s on display and it looked like a kids toy without a case...the display also looked inferior even to my regular 6's screen...it was just very strange...then I was riding with my buddy on leave and he has the iPhone 4 and we're on the interstate so he asks me to text someone back and I felt like I was a gorilla trying to type on the smallest phone ever. lolAfter having the 6 plus for awhile I thank the gods above that I did not settle for the 6.

Do you consider yourself to have big hands? How is the one-handed use, or have you gotten used to using two hands? And how do you normally carry it around, like when walking and such? From the short time I held the 6+ in the store, it doesn't seem too big and it fit well in my pocket, but I'm not sure how that would be after long term use.
Sorry, I know these questions are pretty basic and different for everyone, but I just want to get a wide range of opinions, before I make a decision on which one is best for me?
To each his own. In my opinion I shouldn't have to tweak settings on my phone to get it running smoothly out of the box. I have never had to before and I don't think I should have to now. Like I said, got used to doing that on Android. Got used to NOT doing that on iPhone.
I do consider it a feature, though. It's a visual feature, something meant to be appealing to the eye. Is it a feature I could do without? Absolutely. But if it is like this now I am worried where the phone will be a year or two from now... Granted, I will probably dump it for something else by then.
For what it's worth, I can get lag going into ladnscape while playing a video in safari. I can also get lag when exiting out of some apps. Safari has also crashed my phone while playing music. From what I read this may be hardware, related to the internal storage Apple chose. I'll wait and see. The video lag is 100% reproducible; it's bad enough that the sound will actually skip and stutter and repeat for a split second, sometimes twice before it "catches up". The crashing is not easily reproducible; I have crashed maybe three times over the last month or so I have had the phone. Still, that's three times more than I've crashed with the 5 and 5S combined.
Try the Reduce Transparency, I am almost positive it actually frees up RAM on the Plus, the GPU and CPU no longer have to render the pretty taxing transparency effect, I myself have not been having those issues your experiencing at all, besides Safari tab reloading sometimes, and Safari has been crashing for me on only one website I visit regularly(GameSpot) and sometimes it crashes Safari which I don't know why
To be clear, your tips do help. I just don't feel like I should have to reduce transparency and remove effects. It's a $750 (base price) phone. As I said, if it wasn't a giant screened iPhone I would have taken it back by now. The screen size is the only thing keeping me going lol.

I am beyond sure as apps get optimized and iOS gets further updated and streamlined, the Plus is more then capable of running at 60 fps constant no lag, iOS 8 is defitnetly rushed out the door a bit...but it is also the biggest iOS update ever with over 4000 new API's ...i am sure they will fix performance and that stuttering, and also all app submissions by February 2015 need to be 64 bit capable, that alone right there switching the app from 32-bit to 64-bit gives a 10% performance increase right off the bat from the use of extra registers of the CPU(so next year we will get very nice performance gains as apps start getting 64 bit capable)
Anyways going off topic a bit lol, but I agree the Plus is defitnetly the first iPhone at launch that wasn't 100% perfectly smooth with those options turned off(stock)
A little bit suprising but, by no means is it slow in apps or performance wise at all, it is a very fast phone in operation, just animation stutters and sputters and tab reloading
The battery on the Plus is leaps and bounds better than the 6. When my wife needs to charge in late afternoon I'm usually above 75%. She can't believe the difference. She's probably getting a Plus when the 6S comes out.
The difference shouldn't be that big. Clearly she use the phone a lot more or have apps that drain the battery. Or the phone needs to be replaced.
