6+ for battery. If it doesn't work out for me, I figure I'd have an easier time finding a 6 available a month after release than if I were to do the reverse.
Got a tip for us?

Did you order the iPhone 6 (4.7 inch) or the iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inch)?

I'll wait and see how both feel in the hand next week before making any decisions.
As of right now I am leaning 6+.

Space grey 6 128gb... Put a note 3 in my pocket at futureshop and just felt "wrong".
Ordered the big guy for wifey... But she was looking to get an iPad mini for her purse, so killed 2 birds...

4.7 for me. In the end i like the idea of carrying around a phablet. But day to day use would seem unlikely for me for what i do. Plus like other said, if i work out or anything else. I think it would be easier on me with the 4.7 device. As it is, it is bigger than what i have now. So i will be happy with that.
5.5! 4.7 just wasn't enough of an increase... 5" would've been perfect. What am I gonna do with 4.7" that I couldn't do with 4", you know?
I played around with the Note 3 and loved the size, was even thinking about switching over.
Glad Apple went bigger, I need the screen space. I use my phone for EVERYTHING and did not want to buy an iPad.

Both. I have the iPhone 5s and a Note3 now. I will sell them both and am very happy to flip back to IOS full time.
I've always liked his reviews. He knows his Apple products. Long time Apple reviewer.

I wanted a larger screen and struggle at times with my current iPhone 5 when it comes to reading and navigation apps. My eyesight is at a tipping point of needing reading glasses to read anything on my phones screen. The 4.7 screen is only slightly bigger than the 5 and felt I've have the same issues with the 4.7.
The 6+ will be a bit more of a hassle to keep in my pockets but the larger screen will really be much more usable for me.

I have average sized hands, like to use my phone one handed and like to fit my phone in my pocket, without cutting off the circulation to my leg. I have an iPad if I want to see things on a larger screen whilst on the train and a 27" iMac if I want to view larger again when at home.

I think its wise of Apple to make differently sized phones but in my opinion: people who "have" to get a big phone are only getting it cause its big. Thats it. 4.7" is a perfect size for me
5.5 because I think I would've regretted getting the 4.7.
The bigger battery also swayed me in that direction too!

Silver 128 GB 6 here.
I like using my phone one-handed, and the 5.5 would just be too damn big. My ring and pinky finger already struggle with the 4", so I knew the 5.5" would be a no go.
I like the better battery and camera, but not enough to give up one-handed usage.

This poll tells us that you're no fun at all. Im a geek, nerd & fanboy and proud of it. Either come along for the ride or get off.
64gb Space Gray iPhone 6. I'm on T-Mobile, so both phones cost the same, so that was no consideration for me. OIS in the camera means zilch to me. And i already have experience with phones the size of the 6+ and they suck in so many situations.
It was the 6 for me. My only cause for caution is the 750p screen. I hope it is nice and clear.

64GB 6+.
In 6 months, I've made 40 mins of calls... safe to say I don't really use the iPhone as a phone!
I also wear a suit 80% of the time, so I shouldn't have any problem fitting it in my jacket pocket.
Sure, it's large (very large!), but hopefully I'll get used to it. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll return it and order a 4.7".

Ordered the 6 128 space gray.
I printed out the templates and "used" both for days before deciding.
I ended up with the iPhone 6 because of usability. My thumb could still swipe back and forth through web pages and I can still text one handed. I dropped the 5.5 template more times than I care to remember trying to mimick all the things I do with my 5. And that's a naked phone. Forget it if I try to use a case.
The templates really did help on my choice. I was dead set on the 5.5. But for me and my needs. I realized I wanted better control of my phone.
I don't compute on a bus or car pool. I ride my motorcycle 80 percent of the time to and from work. And I work in the service industry so my phone is in my pocket the whole time at work.
Besides, I just spent a grand for an ipad air 128gb 5 months ago. I want it to get some use still haha.
Oh and I'm 5'10" with average hands.

I pre-ordered a 6 Plus from the Apple Store (for delivery on the 19th) but I was also lucky enough to get a reservation for a regular 6 as a pick-up in my local Apple Store next Friday. My plan is to go there for my appointment and see the phones before I make the final decision. It's a bit of a pain as it might mean I have to send the 6 Plus back but Apple's return policy is good with these things and I can at least this way feel both phones before I make my final decision.
I also did the cardboard cutout. It would have been nice if they offered the OID on the 4.7". The 5.5" was just to big for me (with the intention of putting a case on it). I do ecological restoration for a living and just wouldn't be able to tout a 5.5" with a case around while assessing a wetland, etc. If I had a job where I was at a desk full time it may have won out. Perhaps my next upgrade (after this one to the 6) will be to a phablet. It does seem like the the 4.7" will be noticeably larger than the 4", regardless. I was one of those people who always wanted a larger iPhone since getting my first 3g. Even though I opted for the 4.7" here it is! Cheers.
