To sound like a broken record - this is why I try before I buy. Even still, I really can't imagine that the plus' size in relation to my hands will be a problem. Even if my hands aren't big enough, I can still use it like a tablet and two-hand the thang. But that said, to each his own and I hope you enjoy your 6.

Cancelled 6+ Preorder, Buyer's Remorse

Well, I hope all goes well for you in getting the 6. I'm sure you'll be happy with it, as it gets excellent reviews and is praised for being a good size.
But I do wonder at the number of people worrying about their small hands. I'm a petite five ft tall woman with very small hands and a size 5 ring finger (was size 4 until I had a baby) and I've handled a Hitachi G1000 with no problem.
Really, it's hard to find adults much smaller than I am. That Hitachi phone was roughly as big as the Plus, but was about as thick as a waffle. It was crazy huge. I used it just fine, albeit two handed most of the time. I even wore it on me pretty much all of the time on a holster, when I wasn't wearing a dress of course. I'm sure I looked awkward as hell, but I didn't FEEL awkward. I loved that phone, it was the first, last and only phone I could thumb-type on without making hideously embarrassing typos. And I liked the generous (for the era) screen real estate. It was just really ungodly heavy and that's why I was willing to switch to a Treo. But I ended up missing that phone.
So I'm looking forward to going back to the large form factor I found ideal at one time, minus the weight. Still, after carrying such pocketable phones for so long, I don't doubt it will be an adjustment going back to a big phone like the Plus. I'll have to change the way I've been used to using and carrying an iPhone.

Wait, I thought one actually had to have said product in hand to know if they had remorse? What made you change your mind? SOMEONE else?
Your first instinct told you to go with the product. Can't wrap my head around why you wouldn't stick with it until or if YOU determined it wasn't for you.

I cancelled my 6+. Silver 128gb.
Because I found one at the Apple store
Another Plus goes to eager hands.
Try checking this site each night at midnight. It will tell you what's available at your nearest Apple stores
Scroll down to Apple store and put in your zip and carrier. If you find one, you can order online and do an in store pickup..Viola http://www.istocknow.com/usI'm definitely having buyers remorse right now bc I returned my 6 on upgrade pricing and purchased a 6+ 128gb outright. Crazy expensive, but I love it. Still have my 5S to sell and I'm getting rid of my iPad mini retina as the 6+ fits that iPad mini area for me. So until those sell I might see that final price and cringe a little haha. I'm totally happy with 6+ and very glad I gave it a chance.
I ended up just waiting in line on launch day to get a 64 GB Silver 6 on Verizon. Totally happy with my purchase.
