Don't have one yet but just from playing with them at the apple store, the plus is exactly what I was hoping. BIG, but not so much so that I can't use it or type on it. Soon enough my contract will expire and I will own one to play with all the time and never stop.
i have the 6 plus coming this thursday. Very excited, but i played with a friends 6 plus and now I am wondering if its waaay to big. And waay to fragile.
I think im going to return for a regular 6 guise

Try it out for about a week. I bet you keep your 6+.

Agree with this. You really need to try it out for a week or so. The initial thought is "man this thing is big". Then you start to doubt whether a phone of this size is practical for everyday use. After 2 days I found a 6 in the store and bought it outright after having these thoughts (did not return the Plus as my intent was to test both devices). After 1 day with the 6 I was back to the Plus and the awesome screen/battery life. And now it's been 1.5 weeks and Im fully sold on it. The size doesn't bother me anymore, its seems completely normal to be honest. I love my Plus.
I think my thumbs have grown another half inch or so after getting the 6+. It was a bit large at first but now I have grown used to it. I think their are still a few bugs that apple needs to sort out due to screen rotation etc. Like selecting a photo to send in iMessage. The battery life is amazing. I used it heavily for two days and never hit below 30%. I have a super slim case but I am waiting a month or so for better cases to come out... hopefully one with a kick stand so I can easily watch videos.

i hope so guys. I truly believe its a beautiful device. I just am in fear of succumbing to my clumsiness and damaging it by putting it in my pocket and plopping down somewhere
Me and my iPhone 6 are well and truly attached!! I love this phone, the size is great, the build is great, I've had no issues with iOS 8.
I just can't believe how long it's taking some devs to update their apps! Surely they would have had Dev kits before hand? I think apple should have pushed to have more ready and possibly some tailored for the 6 plus screen. I'm sure it will happen though!
For now, I'm very happy with my choice!

I no longer have to strain my eyes to play games, read books, watch movies. It is joined by my hip. I feel that it has enhanced my life in SO MANY WAYS. Taking public transportation is a dream now bc I have choices to do crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, watch movies, use meditation and visualization apps...the list goes on and on.
I always liked the sizes of the Galaxy Note phones, but I invested much into the Apple ecosystem and switching to Andriod meant that I would be repurchasing apps all over again, or some apps would not be available. Even if I obtained most of them, they wouldn't operate the way I'm used to, so this was a win win for me. No regrets here!!!

ME TOO, ME TOO!!! 128gb!!! I wasn't playing!!!!###

Absolutely love my 6+! When I look at my old 5S, or see somebody with a new six I think how can they even look at that screen they look so small. I do more reading and watching videos on his phone then I have done ever in the past. This screen is a pleasure and easy on the eyes.
What I like most is CHOICE. I had just brought the 5c to obtain 32gb of space and when I heard the new phone was coming I said to myself that the ONLY way I'll upgrade before its time is if it came the size of the Galaxy Note. The 6 wasn't even a consideration.
Depending on personal needs some folks feel that this is too large. I have a friend that's a construction worker that said he has no room for the Plus. My husband is a cop and tho his mouth is watering, he is concerned about size (I suspect he's weakening as he stares lovingly at mine).
Bottom line is the chance to choose is what I like and my 128gb is just what I needed.

Finally got mine this afternoon after many weeks of faffing. I'm a 5' 2 female with small hands and I absolutely adore this phone. I can do some stuff one handed still (if I'm sitting down!) but the two handed stuff doesn't bother me. I've got used to it already. I am just terrified of dropping it, that's the only thing.
Then count me in the other half. I used to pop into phone stores occasionally to longingly play with the larger screened android and windoze phones but could never bring myself to switch away from iOS. Even tried some longer tests (a few days at a time) while traveling overseas and couldn't stomach android.
Even though I've always wanted a larger iPhone, i was apprehensive about the size. I purchased a case while awaiting delivery and i would walk around with it in my pocket each evening and think
i'm not sure if this is going to work for me (all while being mocked by my wife and kids ). i was coming from a 4s and did everything one handed.
Fast forward to today... I've had my 6+ for all of 4 days and I LOVE IT. One thing that was very helpful for me was SwiftKey.
6+ and SwiftKey have changed my life! Haha!

Definitely glad I pre-ordered and chose a 6 Plus. Was a little nervous of size but when it arrived on launch day, absolutely no regrets here! The extra screen real estate is worth it all day long!
