Obvious pros to the 6+ are:

Higher Resolution, including increased PPI
  • Optical Image Stabilization
  • Improved Battery life (so they say)
  • Landscape Springboard
  • Other landscape app bonuses like Messages and Calendar

Obvious downside to the 6+ is:
  • Size, not just for one-handed use, but for carrying and holding to talk

After doing the mockup thing, here are the observations about the 6+:
  • For jeans it sticks out the top of a back pocket
  • And barely fits in the front pocket - not sure how comfortable this will be on a daily basis, especially removing it, etc.
  • When you hold it up, it is quite large next to your head

There are certain features of the 6+ that make it appealing and rightfully so they had to differentiate it in several ways to justify the higher price.
