Concern: iPhone 6+ size in your automobile

That's not buyers remorse, it's simply a buying mistake due to poor research.

Buyers remorse is buying something that you didn't really want at all and then regretting it (which in fairness, we've all done).

There's a huge difference between buyer's remorse and a poorly researched purchase decision.

That's a bit trivial because the outcome in either case is a remorse felt by the buyer once they realize their mistake and the end result is they have to return it for something else.

Ok, let's agree to disagree on the definition of buyer's remorse. :p

For me, it's making an impulse purchase (an item that you didn't really need, but made a rash on the spot decision to buy on the spot).

Then, you get it home, or it gets delivered and in the cold light of day, you realise that actually, you don't need another watch, as other than looking nice, it doesn't do anything that your other watch(es) does/do, so you simply return it.

That to me is buyer's remorse, not buying a device without researching properly first and then swapping it for a different device that suits your needs better.

Maybe it's a UK/US thing? :D
 
I would like to get the iPhone 6+, but am waiting to see what comes available to carry it on my belt as I do my current iPhone. I also will be interested in people's reactions to the iPhone 6+ and if there are any with buyer's remorse.
 
Have been using the Airframe for over a year and love it. Just bought the Airframe+ for my 6+ and expect the same. Also, one hidden 'feature' of the Airframe is that you can turn it so your phone is in landscape, perfect for GPS on the 6+.
 
My car can fit five people in it. It might be a squeeze but i'm sure my iphone 6 plus will fit, even if it has to go on the roofrack.
 
My current proclip mount(over ac vent, which I would like to change) fits the 6 fine. just a bit narrow(at max width) for the 6 plus.

Worried about the suction cup mounts since my dash isn't that flat. Would like to have one that works and not have to deal with it falling off.

I ordered an iPhone 6+ this morning and didn't think much of it except that I like the fact that I could see it better and I have large hands.

I ran across that .pdf print-out of the phone, made one, took it out to my vehicle and it won't fit the center console pop-up for my phone, USB port.

I called Verizon and had them cancel my order for the plus and order a regular iPhone 6. It works better for ME. Y'all better check your interior stuff if that's a concern.

Waddya thinkin' ?

Mountek CD slot magnetic phone/tablet mount. Problem solved.

(no this is not my car or phone in the pictures, examples from Amazon.com)

I haven't used the CD slot in my car for the last 10 years. This works extremely well in my 2013 Ford Explorer with my iP5 previously and now my iP6+. The power outlet is directly below in the center dash so there is only a single black lightning cable that comes up to charge the phone. The phone connects via a Griffin BT adapter and plays my music, navigation, etc... directly into the car's Aux input. Who needs CarPlay when I have a 5.5" iphone that I can take out of the car and just leave the stock basic radio in there. Way less of a reason to break into my car for the bare basic stock Ford radio.

I have a Kia Soul with the Infinity Sound System. (Meaning the center portion of the dash is taken-up by a speaker.) I use the iOttie Easy One Touch 2 and just put it on the passenger side with my iPhone 6 Plus. The screen is so big, it fits perfectly. Because the iOttie tends to have the phone off-center to the left, I let the phone slightly extend over the speaker. Works perfectly. If anybody wants a picture, I'll try and take one later.
