6 Plus - It's Too Big!

[Seattleite]

To each his own!

I went to the AT&T store to look at the phones before ordering. The 6 did not seem all that much bigger than my 5S.

I don't have either size yet but will be upgrading from a 4s soon. I really want the 6+ but the one thing putting me off is the size of the bezels. I think the bezels need to go away or or at least be reduced by half. I know the phone isn't all about the outward appearance but I feel like they could do more with the design. I've been looking at Androids lately and I really don't want to leave Apple. I won't be upgrading until I settle it in my mind on the best size for me.

Same scenario for me. I want the 6+ but the bezels are way too big for the phone. I can't help thinking they could've done better on the bezel design. I bet future iPhones reduce their bezel size.

I have the iPhone 5 now and would like to stay with iOS, but have been looking at android lately, such as the Droid Turbo. That phone has a 5.2" screen but is nearly identical to the iPhone 6 size. Don't like Verizon though, have AT&T now.

I admit when I pre-ordered the 6 Plus, then actually held the phone on launch day, I thought "What the heck did I do?!" Phone showed up on 9/24, took a good week to get fully used to it.

I would pick up my now deactivated 5 which I still had...was debating to use it has some kind of media hub, iPod...something. After being used to the 6+ already, the 5 actually felt TOO small. Ended up selling it a few weeks ago.

I do not regret my decision.

Honstly what is the big deal about 2 handed use? Presumably most of you who complain about the 6 + being too big also own an ipad. Do you complain about 2 handed use with the ipad? You were born with two hands, you may as well use them.

I think the bigger issue about the human side of things, ie ergonomics and strained tendons in your hand is the strain a smaller screen will cause to your eyes in the long run. I am currently rocking a 4s and I make do with it. But my eyes in the past 12 months are starting to feel a bit strained. I have looked at the 6 + in the stores and I cannot begin to tell you how much a relief it was to my eyes.

I have an ipad but you see, that to me is too big. Heck, people complain about the 6 + being too big, but the tablets get of scott free. I only revert to the ipad when my eyes start to tear from too much strain.

No it's not.

I can deal with the overall size of the Plus, I could not with the screen size of the 6. I am prone to eye strain quite easily unfortunately.

I find that because it is so thin, the large size is not an issue. Yes, it would have been nice to have a smaller bezel, but overall, I find it easy to use. Coming from an iPhone 4, the 6 plus seemed massive, but after a few days using the plus, I can't imagine using anything smaller.

Too big to watch movies, too big to read books, too big to browse websites, too big to use as the car's GPS, too big to play games, too big to... ?

But no, 'it's too big' because you have to occasionally use your other hand?

It's a phablet. If you want a phone, you buy one for $50

Exactly!

It's a perfect size for many things where you would grab a iPad mini. After a week, or two it gets more comfortable and you wonder how you lived without one! The few times I picked up an iPhone 4 in the last few weeks it looks absolutely tiny!
