at the moment i have a 64gb iPhone 6 , but am considering returning it and getting a 16gb iPhone 6 + , is it worth it ?? time isn't a problem so waiting a month or a month an a half is not a problem . so is the 6+ worth it or should i stick with my 64gb iPhone 6
 
Which do you value more, screen size or storage capacity?

Disclaimer: I know their are more differences between the 6 and 6+, just trying to make it as simple as possible.
 
if i could decide that my life would've been 10x easier lmao , if only the base was 32 gas , the 6+ would've been the choice , i can use the 6+ one handed and i like its big screen(tested at applestore) , i also don't mind the 6's screen , and its size is pretty good. Only thing is if i do get the 6+ , right now with no games just apps and music i take up/fill 10 gbs , so the question would be do i want to deal with deleting stuff every time i want to download something, and idk :(
 
All just depends on what you prefer size wise.

All anyone here will give you is their own opinion which might not necessarily work for your situation.

Personally I would go with the 6 since I value smaller size and one-handed operation.
 
Got my 6 Plus today - it's absolutely amazing and I love it. Though I'd still choose a 64GB 6 over a 16GB 6 Plus as it's critical for me to have a few essential apps and documents, which just are too big for a 16GB phone.

Can you stretch to a 64GB 6+? Over the lifetime of the phone, the extra money you pay today for 64GB really makes little difference.

Otherwise, I'd stick with the 64GB 6. But I may use it completely differently to you.

I can't imagine anyone who decided on 64GB on one phone would be happy with 16GB on another.

Going with AT&T Next lets you pay in monthly installments, and you're paying for the cost of the phone only without any markup.
 
i mostly use my iPhone for music , texting , reading emails and searching up stuff on the go , don't really watch that many movies or videos , as i have a 15" retina , but i had to delete all my games on my iPhone 5 16gb as they took too much space , so thats why i chose the 64gb 6 , but the 6+ 's size is just so intriguing it makes me want to get it , but the fact is that with 16gbs i don't even think ill have space to use it ; i also have an iPad , which i let my dad use because i don't really need it in college
 
I returned my 6+ as it was too big for me. I was afraid the 6 would be too small, especially coming from the 5" HTC One M8, but it's the perfect size for me. Personally, I'd go for more storage space.

it's totaly worth it, i've did the same
 
funny I was having the same decision I decided to order the 64GB 6

the space is a bit more important to me and the 6 is similar in size as my current phone the galaxy s3 so I know it fits it my pockets with room to spare
 
Myself I cancelled my then 6 order for a 128 gb 6 plus. For you I would go with more storage. If those two are your only choices my I am of the opinion that more storage is better than a bigger screen.
 
Iphone 6 64gb.. It's really the same thing except for some superficial differences.. You'll appreciate the one handed use and the extra storage space a lot more.
 
The 6 is absolutely fine. I love mine. I also checked out the 6+ and I am so glad, that I didn't got it. I think the 6+ with it's 5.5 inch screen was developed because of competitive pressure.

Bingo, competitive is hard to say too since the note 4 is superior in every way, and before I start a flame war I highly dislike Samsung
 
6+ all the way...I can't stop looking at this friggin screen. Sometimes at work, I use touch id just to lock swipe around for no reason then put the phone down LOL. This phone is something else, my wife has the 6 and its cool and all but even after seeing both, i'll go 6+ 10 out of 10 times
 
I think getting a phone with less than 32gb of storage nowadays is impractical. I'm a college student and regularly have friends complaining about their 16gb phones and they don't even have music on them. The 6 Plus is cool and all, but it's not worth sacrificing the storage space.
 
Thanks guys , I'm a just stick with my 64gb iPhone 6 then and won't have to delete a couple of games since at the moment I have used 20 gbs of stuff
