Any IP6 owners intend to upgrade to IP6+S?

Just did the exchange mainly because of battery life. Went to the Apple Store wanting to buy the battery case but realized iPhone 6s and the battery combo is heavier and bulkier than iPhone 6s+. Came out with a iPhone 6s+ instead. Need to get used to the size though.
I actally had 6 first, but fell in love with 6 plus after trying it again later after xD was pretty expensive
I started with a 6. Bought it brand new from Swappa since Apple had limited availability.
After one year, I got the big phone bug. I started seeing a lot of my students with the Plus. I noticed that I could use it one handed too.
Last month I treated myself to a 128 gig 6s Plus brand new from Swappa for $880. I did not have to pay taxes or shipping too. And the phone was a TSMC and did not have any blemishes.
I love the phone and can't put it down.

I started last year with the 6 Plus and although it was my favorite phone of all iPhones, it was the absolute worst performing. I usually don't upgrade every 2 years but I couldn't wait for the 6 S Plus to come out. I absolutely love the 6 S Plus. I literally use it for everything including a lot of the things that I used my iPad for. The screen real estate is just big enough to do do everything on it including watching short videos. I only now use the iPad for when I need to do a lot of typing as it had a keyboard.
I went with the 6s plus and was nervous about the size at first. It turns out that's not an issue at all for me and I wouldn't go smaller now.
The size of the Plus is still very small compared to the size of portable electronics that people have carried previously such as Sony Walkmans and portable CD players.

The Plus size is way better for me. Just the slightly larger keyboard makes it awesome. Would never go back to a smaller phone. It is great we all have the choice to pick what size we want.
For me, it's about speed. I went from a 6 to 6s+ and am still enjoying the speed--especially the fingerprint sensor. I barely touch the thing and the phone is ready to go.
At this point... nah. Besides, this is the first time i've felt like there's simply not enough for me to upgrade to. I used to think that the latest and greatest from Apple would mean gorgeous new games (I'm a gamer, so that was always the biggest reason for me upgrading), but over the years i've see how only a few games ever take advantage of the hardware. So I'll wait for 7.
I went from the 6 to the 6S+ as well. I had wanted to increase from 64g to 128g and figured I might as well go with the bigger phone as well. Couldn't be happier. My only complaint? My car mount won't work unless I use thin cases.
Get an iottie magnetic mount from Amazon. You will never have to worry about car mount size ever again. The down side is you will have to use a case unless you do not mind affixing a metal plate to the back of your iPhone.
What a waste of a post.
Personally, OP, I like the standard size of the iPhone 6/6S. Portability is something I really do enjoy, and I like using the phone one handed! I suppose I will be the only one in the thread to disagree...
