Any women with the 6 Plus?

Yep. Absolutely love it. I did go from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy S3 though (4.7" screen) two years ago, so I'm already used to a larger phone. In fact, I've been eyeballing the Galaxy Note line of phones for the past two years as well, so I was thrilled to see the 6 Plus.

People at work give me crap about its size, but I don't hold it up to my head, and it's rare for me to ever take a call (if I do, I use earbuds). It fits in my jeans pocket fine (and I'm short and small... size 4). The screen's big and gorgeous, and so far I've been able to run with it (FlipBelt), carry it in a jeans pocket, and tote it in a purse.

You'll just have to try it for yourself to see how you like it. A larger phone takes getting used to, as it did going from a 3.5" screen to a 4.7" screen did two years ago for me. I was glad to move up from 4.7" to 5.5" now.

I might still call the 4.7" more "practical" from a size aspect, but I'm a huge fan of the large screen, so the 5.5" is perfect (for me).
 
I'm 5'2 and I have the plus. I went to the store on launch day and tried both phones and decided that I want the plus. I'll take a picture later for comparison.. Let's just say the phone is like 2 centimeters longer than my hands haha.

Edit: Nvm.. My middle finger is longer about 2 centimeters...

I'm 5'5"... Don't know what that has to do with my hands (they're small) :p
But I have a Plus and I love it.
 
Female here, 5'3, and I absolutely LOVE my iPhone 6 Plus!!!!!! Loved it the moment I saw it in the Apple store window in the wee hours of the morn after they took down the black drapes, loved it when I was able to fondle one they brought around while we were waiting in line, and totally loved it once I had my very own. The larger screen real estate makes a huge difference, and so does the larger keyboard. Yesterday afternoon I took both my iPad Air and the new iPhone out to the deck. I did something I never, ever did with my previous iPhones: read the Washington Post online, read and responded to a couple of emails, read forums, played a YouTube video..... The iPad Air stood idly by, and I never even touched it. No need. In the old days the iPhone would be out on the deck with me but it was the one standing idly by as I used the iPad to do all the kinds of things I mention above. I'm delighted that now I will get much more use from my iPhone.

I consider this device to be the iPad Nano, and she fits in beautifully with her larger sisters, the iPad Air and the iPad Mini. Nice that she happens to be a phone, too! :)
 
I'm 5'3' and I'm in love with this phone. I don't stick my phone in my pockets anyway. I carry my phone is my bag. I'm not obsessed with trying to use it one handed. I can in some instances. Using two handed is not a deal breaker.

I got the 6+ too. It's a BIG phone, but talking on the phone is not often what I'm doing with it. It's utterly fantastic for consuming information, reading, watching, playing. Yes, it's a handful, but I wear a women's large/ men's medium glove. It does fit in my jeans pocket, sideways, but it's quite obvious there's a gigantic 6+ in there.

If it were just a phone, I wouldn't like it. But it's not. I got it because it's a super portable mobile computer, and oh, it just happens to take calls, so for me, it was a better choice.
 
5'1 female was unsure at first so tried a 6 too loved the plus more great device both are big phones so I thot may as well get the plus
 
I think women are better off with the 6+ because they literally carry a purse or small bag with them everytime
 
5'4" female here. I am absolutely loving the plus. I slip it in my purse and have totally adjusted my grip with one hand already. It's very light weight to me. Reading books is really nice on the plus as is taking / viewing photographs. I can't wait for more apps to update to utilize the bigger screen size.

And the battery? Its 32 flavors and then some.

I tried my my 5 out again last night and couldn't believe how tiny that thing felt now that I've adjusted to the 6+.
 
I love mine. I did think it is too big. I still kinda do, but for reading emails & browsing the screen size is perfect. I've had to rethink how I do things. I don't always carry a purse. So I'm looking for a slim wristlet that just holds my 6+, a couple of cards & my ID.

Also I wouldn't dare take a call with this thing without a BT headset unless I absolutely had to.

What woman wouldn't want 5.5" over 4.7". Is this a serious thread?

I don't want a 5.5". No interest in it. But I use my phone as mostly a phone, for listening to music at the gym and driving directions. I don't tweet, don't watch videos on my phone, no games on my phone, some text messaging (but tend to text more on my computer), own a iPad mini that I have no interest in getting rid of.

There are a ton of these on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MPERO-FLEX-Wa...15816&sr=1-7&keywords=6+plus+case+wrist+strap

I'm looking for a similar one (but cuter color) for toting around when I don't want to carry a purse. I love the wrist strap for a little extra security (usually it goes around my wrist and I also hold the wallet).

My mom is getting a 6+. She tried it out in store and she told me she rather have the larger phone vs the smaller phone. Easier on the eyes lol

Ditto to all of the above. And I'm generally a two handed user anyways.

Ha!
 
Female here also.... 5ft (if that). Got my 6 plus on launch day and do not regret it for a minute! LOVE it !!! I don't have to squint anymore, I don't make stupid typos cause my finger hit the wrong key (even better now using Swift Key) and I can actually watch Netflix now without being completely annoyed. I was at Target yesterday and they had the iPhone 6 on display (an actual phone and not a dummy, I was shocked) so I took mine out and compared them.... both beautiful but I definitely prefer my mine! :) Don't have a pic to show it in my hand (it goes from my wrist and lands dead even with my middle finger) but here's one of it laying on my MacBook Air.

I got it at a kiosk as soon as I left the Park City Mall Apple Store... it's in Lancaster, PA. I have to say I love how it looks but I hate this case... trying to get it off and on is a nightmare. I'm waiting for one I ordered so I'm stuck with it for now but it really doesn't offer any protection. And after just reading about so many smashed 6+ screens I'm a nervous wreck I'll drop it. lol
