How people are going to look with their iPhone 6 Plus

I do hope people with the 6+ will be happy. For me, it is too big but I'm not interested in a phablet. For those that have gone with that trend, then it is probably what they are looking for. I use my current 5 for lots of stuff, even watching tv shows at the gym when I'm on the elliptical. I also use it to listen to music at the gym (put it in a spibelt). The reason I'm getting the 6 isn't because I think the 5 is too small but I kind of figured why not.
Amen to that, I'm the same lol, not fussed about one handed use, I have two hands
Exactly! And I don't really use my phone to make calls very often. It's mostly browsing, videos, and games. So I would think the plus is perfect for that. Can't wait to get it.
This is exactly why I went with the 4.7. I think by the time the iPhone 7 comes out they should have the bezels fixed, this is their first big phone and they should have gone with something closer to the dimensions of the LG G3.. that would have been perfect.
Until then I will enjoy a 4.7 and hope they get it right with the iPhone 7.
Most girls I know are ordering the 6, not the 6P.
And don't use a midget for size reference.
A few years ago I would laugh and agree. But now, honestly ... I just don't use my phone as a phone nearly as much as I used to. Now it's 85% texts and using apps.
However, I will agree that during times of using it as a phone I imagine how silly I will look.
Then again, I have pink hair ... so I don't think the phone will be the focal point

Having a big phone up to your ear is nothing new. I remember the old Zack Morris phones that were like holding a brick up to your ear.
At first yeah, it seems huge, but I've used the Note 2 and Note 3 and after a few days you get used to the size. The only thing is, it's easy to get used to bigger screens, but if you're used to a 5 inch or bigger screen and you go smaller, it feels like peering into a camera view window.

Threads like this are silly because they're so short sighted.
As Cellphones evolved then they shrank.
We weren't losing features, we were losing bulk. And, for the most part, then every "cellphone" was a phone and nothing else.

But then as phones started developing more features then they grew again. But this time they weren't adding useless bulk, they were adding new tech to introduce new features. Phones getting bigger was necessary.

The reason big phones is a joke ISN'T because they're getting "too big". Its because Apple lagged behind so much longer than they should have that myths about "one handed use can't be done on a screen bigger than 4in" ended up being quoted as fact.
4.7" and 5.5" isn't really "too big", theyre just bigger than we're used to. But give it a year and we'll all be looking at the 4S/5S and wondering how we got so many years of work done on such "small" screens.

I hope this leads to more traffic tickets for people who talk on their cell phones while driving without a bluetooth... That husky phone will be harder to hide, lol!!
I have big hands and I love big screens, so I am super excited for the 5.5-inch screen.
My iPhone 5 doesn't span the whole distance from ear to mouth, so the phone can definitely get bigger before it is excessively large.

Honestly I don't mind. I'm a dude at 6', I don't think it would look as awkward with me holding it to talk. If people these days use the selfie stick and take photos with their iPad, then I will fit in just fine with my 5.5" beastly phone.
