Same here my 5S with out its case just seamed so small when I getting it ready for sale. The 6 is the perfect size screen for every day use.
 
I got my 6 today (today is launch day over here) and it didn't feel big despite coming from a 4S. Unfortunately something got messed up with SIM provisioning so I still had to use the 4S for calls and texts, and I was amazed at how small it felt after just a couple of hours with the 6.

It was especially interesting when I got the same email on both phones and realised that the 6 shows twice as much content as the 4S.

The provisioning is fixed now :)

I believe it. Last year when the Note 3 came out, I got it. After one hour, just one hour, setting it up and basically playing around with it just figuring out how to use it, I picked up my 4s to check my notifications and the 4s just looked miniscule.

For the record, I got rid of the Note 3 after 3 weeks. After being IOS for 5 years, android just felt dodgy.
 
I received my 6+ yesterday. After spending about 30 minutes to setup the phone, I went back to 5 to reset it, and good lord, the display looked so cramped and small. I can't wait till all apps that I use are updated for the new display.
 
People all in Europe and Asia have been using phone sizes like the 6 plus since 2-3 years ago. North America finally caught up to the "trend".

People in North America have been using big phones for a while too. It's Apple that finally caught up. Hopefully the next time around they can reduce those bezels
 
I used my 5S today for the first time because my 6 needed to be charged. I was surprised at how small it felt after using the iPhone 6 for a week. I still like the 5S, though.
 
I have had a plus since the 19th and when I played with the 5s, it felt like an iPod nano :). Man, that thing looks tiny. Glad those days are over. Love the plus screen!.
 
It feels prehistoric but I can type faster without errors because the keyboard is smaller.

With the iphone 6 the keyboard is big and I always have errors, maybe I will type better with time, or use another keyboard.
 
After having the 6 and plus I pulled out my 5S to wipe and sell it. Yes it looked like a small toy screen wise but man the one hand operation is still the best. Feels great in the hand.
 
I've had the iPhone 6 since launch day and it is just too uncomfortable in my hands. My palm on my right hand is actually sore from holding onto the phone. Maybe Im holding it too tight in attempt to compensate for the slippery design but it is just not comfortable for me.



Does anyone else have sore hands from holding their 6 or 6 plus?

Have you tried it with a case? I had a sore hand the first day I had my new phone but now I've adjusted and I don't have any soreness anymore. Also I find that my silicone case has really made a difference :) Personally, I can't imagine going back to the 5S now - it's really noticeable when I turn the screen on and think to myself how tiny it is.

Agreed. I picked up the Apple leather case on the same day I got my 6 Plus because I knew immediately that the anodized aluminium back was just way too slippery. I imagine without the case, I'd have a death grip on the phone the whole time out of fear of dropping it. A slim but textured case really does make a difference.
