Anyone trade their 6+ back in for a 6?

I've used both. I love the 6 plus for its battery life and camera, and it doesn't seem that big after a few days usage. Initially it did. But so did the 6 coming from the 5. Now it seems tiny.

Being able to use my phone all day without needing a charger is hard to replace.
 
I'm having issues with battery dropping like a rock on my 6. It did the same on my 6+ too tho. Phone back gets real hit and I loose battery at a rate of 20% an hour only texting. Not sure if it's a jailbreak app doing it or a hardware issue.
 
Not sure if anyone cares for my input, but this is coming from a lady, girl, whatever. :eek:

I love my iPhone 6 plus. Really love the screen and battery life. I got the phone when it first came out and had it deliver to me. Great phone, no doubt about it.

We are now in April and I still feel that this phone is too clunky for me. At first, I thought a bigger screen phone for my movies and browsing the internet would be great. Putting it in my pocket, jacket, or even holding it has become a nuisance. I've told my husband that I wish I'd gone with the iPhone 6 in black. I might just get rid of this phone to get the 6. :confused:

This is my honest opinion. No need to bash others for feeling the way they do.
Thankfully Apple came out with 2 different sizes to fit our needs. :D

If you've had two phones do it then it is almost certainly something to do with your o/s installation, an app, or the jailbreak.
 
I borrowed my wife's work iPhone 6 Plus a week ago (gave her my 5S), and have been carrying it around since then. I do like being able to see more on the screen, but it is very uncomfortable to carry around in my pocket. I am going to give it a couple days, but strongly considering keeping my 5S instead.
 
I know this is totally ridiculous, but I want both.

I have a 6+ now, which I love, but sometimes I find I need to carry it instead of keeping it in my pocket. And with the Watch coming soon, there's little point if the phone is already in my hand.

So I'm angling to find a way to have a regular 6 as well. Keep them synced with the same apps and just swap SIMs as necessary.

Waste of time and money. Just pick one and have done with it.
 
I've had my 6+ since release, and I wouldn't go back to the smaller phone. It would be nice when the 7 comes out if they could reduce the actual phone size without affecting the screen (like on the Note 4), but I play with the regular 6 in the store sometimes and I couldn't go back to that smaller screen. Particularly for things like reading iBooks or playing games like Clash of Clans, that bigger screen really shines.

I still have my Air for doing tablet stuff when it's convenient, but having the 6+ is like having an iPad extra mini in my pocket all the time. About the only time I don't care for the size is when I'm actually talking on the phone, but I don't do that much anymore.

Actually you were the one who rudely came in and basically called someone stupid for using common internet slang. Rude comment deserves a rude response.
 
I am going to sell my 6+ and go back to a 6, mainly because I have gotten myself an iPad Air 2, so I don't feel the need to have a phablet anymore. I didn't have any issues with the iPhone 6 Plus though..
I just came to the conclusion that the combination iPhone 6/iPad Air 2 is better for me.

Except that I didn't do that. And you certainly weren't even involved in any of it to somehow take it personally on top of it all. But I guess the response and the reasoning would be par for the course. Anyway...

Did just that. Had a 6+ for about 6 months now and finally pulled the trigger and sold it and picked up a used 6. The 6+ had a great battery and screen was great but for every day carry I just always felt it in my pocket. Prefer a phone that just goes away when not in use. I have An iPad air so that gets used when im at home. The 6 feels like the sweet spot in size and performance. Just my .02 cents.

Yeah. I actually think it was the locate my phone feature. Since turning it off it hasn't don't it I don't believe.

I'm thinking of it... It's just too damn big. I like to be able to reach every corner with my thumb and I can't do it without feeling like I'm going to drop it.

Hmmm... decisions, decisions...

I had a 6 for a while, then exchanged it for a 6 Plus. Had that for several months, then this weekend I sold it and bought a new 5S - I couldn't be happier with my choice! For my purposes (mostly email and Reddit) it's perfect. Anything bigger than a 5S is just too big for me. Also, I like to keep the phone in my pocket, and I don't want to even think about it bending, so there's that.

I had a vacation back home in London a couple of weeks ago, and the 6 Plus was the most annoying thing ever on the tube - having to take the thing out of my pocket to sit down. I noticed that just about everyone there had a 5/5S. I saw a few people with a 6, and never did see a 6 Plus.

The 6 Plus was nice on the couch, but that's about it.
 
Same here. Had the 6 for 1 month the 6+ for 3 I couldn't go back to a 6. Completely love the 6+
 
I bought both on launch...

My 6+ was going to be a couple more days in the mail and I had already sold my 5s. Was using an original iPhone.

Girlfriend and I went to our carriers store to get her new phone, they had a LOT of iPhone 6's in stock. (Launch Day, everyone went to Apple, nobody thought to check the carrier stores in the mall LOL.)

I could have just taken her 5s but their was something mystical about the 6. I upgraded on the spot to it.

I absolutely loved the 6, but when I got my 6 Plus, in the end battery life won me out to it.

I love both devices, although I sold my 6 a week after getting the 6+.

OIS isn't "that" big a deal to me. If the 6 had the battery life of the 6+, I may have stayed on it. 4.7" is definitely a sweetspot.

Although I find myself more comfortable spending hours reading and searching for stuff on my 6+ then I did with my older iPhone.

I sold my 5s one week before 6 launch day. My 4S was locked to a different carrier at the time so it left me using my original iPhone.

I've had the 6 Plus since first week of October. Great device, killer screen, bottomless battery. But just too big. Even after 6 months I'm still carrying it instead of slipping it in my pants pocket.

I've now had an iPhone 6 for 48 hrs and I'm enjoying the palmability (is that a word?) and pocketability. But not as tiny as a iPhone 5-type device.

The negative is the battery -- while still good for a typical phone, it's not the bottomless battery of the 6 Plus.

That's probably the biggest perk of a phablet, is the big battery life.

You just have to like having a big phone, which is admittedly, unwieldily at times.
