Help me pick between a 64GB iPhone 6, and a 6 Plus

I have to say the big screen is much easier to read and look at. The advantages of the plus are more viewing area. Higher Resolution. Bigger battery. OIS for the camera.

With a silicone case it's very easy to hold and doesn't slip out of your hand. As for bending, the 6 plus will take more force than the 6. Mine still looks perfect!

I just switched from the 6 to the Plus and am beyond satisfied and happy, yeah the Plus is big, but its thin, its thinness makes it feel light in your pocket and slim too, and it is alot easier to hold imo then other phablets that are thicker and wider too.



If you feel that the Note 4 is tolerable and nice to hold, then the Plus no doubt will be like that too, why not try and play with one at a Apple store?



Im beyond happy i went with the 6 to the Plus, the battery life is NOTICEABLY better on the Plus and lasts really dam long, and the full HD screen is just so beautiful and spacious, these two alone are worth it and of course you also get OIS

That doesn't reassure the OP completely with some of his concerns though. I don't doubt the Plus is nicer to use because of a bigger screen, but that is only half of it's daily use. You have to carry it around and for some people like myself I would struggle with it's size in my pocket. The OP suggests he wears tight jeans and having tested the Plus in tight jeans I have to admit it was a problem. These need to be weighed up when considering the purchase and the size is the reason it lost out for me. It's a stunning phone and thoroughly nice to use with a couple of additional features the standard 6 doesn't have, however it's the size that is the real consideration for people I think. It's not something that can be advised with out trying out for yourself IMO. :)

Yeah, agreed.

On paper the 6 Plus is the "better" phone (OIS, PPI, battery, etc.), but the form factor is where it can get trickier.
Beautiful device, but I found it Much wider, less comfortable to try to grip and felt heavier than the 6 without shifting the phone around since it's top heavy. With Texting (for me), it was more challenging and uncomfortable too in landscape.

To each their own...many are happy with either phone, just have to find the one that is the perfect fit.
Id say the Plus is worth trying to see if a person can get used to it if on the fence about it.

Everyone's wants, needs, and preferences are different. Heck, there are some that think the 3.5" screen is the only way to go. I can't believe how many people ask for others to decide for them.

So should I go back to the 3.5" or not? lol
