Decisions :( [6 vs. 6 Plus]

My wife has the 6+ and I have the 6. Battery life is better on the 6+ as many have stated. My wife has complained of some freezing, but nothing too substantial. She LOVES her 6+. I have experienced minimal lag, and last night my phone gave me a blue screen and then restarted itself. Minor complaints, but we are both very happy with our devices. They are electronics, they are not perfect, they will freeze, stutter, and lag from time to time. Tough choice, but both really are superb devices.
I haven't had any that I did not create myself.

Yeah. Many people think they are richer, better looking, funnier, harder working, more honest, bigger, more in shape, than they really are.
Everything is subjective..
Had a client that was a 'heavy Office user'. Checked their mail twice a day, and left a Word document open all day. Had to laugh...
I considered myself a 'heavy data user', but the AT&T rep laughed. Apparently I'm not. Not even close.
16gb seems low for most folks now days
how much storage do you use on the 64gb?
i keep chargers everywhere, house, car work. so battery life is irrelavant for me.
if it is only battery life, I would keep 6 and have the 64gb
i needed the larger screen for my old eyes
as i add more to my iphone, i can can make an argument "to myself" that i should have gotten the 128.
YMMV

the biggest downfall for me is the 6 plus is too big
im a shorter guy - 5'8. i wear 31"/32" jeans and suit pants and the 6plus wont fit in my pocket.
plus, when i walk around the city and i want to call some one or send someone a quick text, i want to be able to do that with one hand. I can't do that with the 6 plus.
sure i could carry the phone differently...maybe put it in my suit jacket.
but a phone should tailor to what i do, not the other way around.
so i went with the 6. Even then I miss the size of the 5.

The big sale for me is battery life, currently typing on the beast! I am 6'2 and have fairly big hands.... Losing the extra gigs is really not an issue as I have never had anything bigger than the 16GB in the past (I use Dropbox to store photos etc) and only have about 4-5GB of music no videos etc
So far I don't mind the screen size if I can get more juice #

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or an insult
it means it should never be uttered by an Apple user about an upto date latest iPhone
I got the blue screen on my original 6, took it to Apple, and the genius swapped my phone without a single question once he heard blue screen. Take it in and swap! It's a semi-common issue and Apple is aware.
I went with the 6, 4.7" seems like the sweet spot, and I wanted to spend the least amount of money, so 16gb iP6 for me.
