Are you a smurf? J/k
Just seems like 6 ounces is never heavy since you are only holding your phone for a few mins at a time.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone else have sore pinky fingers after using the 6+?

I did! Got one on Swappa for a decent price as far as the 6+ goes. Went with the 64GB Space Gray model as anything less would be a big stretch for me (had/have a 16GB 4s. It's got 12GB useable).
I'm actually able to one hand it pretty well after a week of use. I also put a red Apple silicone case on it. The case the guy shipped it with was far too large. (Tech 21 impact case). Added a lot of width even if it was pretty thin.
Pretty happy with it. Camera is much better than the Moto X, as is the battery. Miss Lollipop though. But I can deal. I use both on a regular basis so I have everything where it can be accessed by any platform so I'm not stuck in one ecosystem.
It doesn't seem to put that much strain on my pinky surprisingly. But I grip it a little different than I did the Moto, especially with the case adding grip on the sides.
Exact problem, especially with the bottom edge of the case being so thin. It's just minor discomfort though, wouldn't say sore at all.
No issues here.
However when I first started using the iPhone 6 Plus I did notice that the lightening charger port felt sharp on my 'pinky' finger due to the way I hold/cradle the iPhone. Now I don't notice this.

Sharp? It doesn't protruding...
No it does not protrude.
It at first felt a little sharper to the touch than it has in my past iPhones. Just a personal thing.
@OP
I know exactly what you mean. One hand or both hands I use either hands picky to support the bottom of the phone. Guess we need to learn to grip the phone with all fingers behind the phone...or get a grippy case

It's significantly heavy compared to either the 5 or 6. Or any other top flagships from Samsung e.g Note 4

I am holding my 5C and my 6 plus and I honestly cannot feel any difference. This phone is too heavy!!! #21stcenturyproblems
53% heavier than 5S to be exact.

6.07 oz, actually, vs. 3.95 oz for the 5S.

I'm sorry that you cannot feel the difference. But that doesn't change the fact that the difference is significant, and at least some of us do notice it, quite a bit. I certainly notice it.
I'm not complaining about it or saying it's a bad thing, it just is what it is-- a much heavier phone than 5S was, or even than 6 is. That's not good or bad, it just is.
I don't carry with me a percentage. I carry a few grams of materials. If you have a problem in carrying with you a 170 grams phone instead of a 120 grams, well, I'm sorry for you....
