Does Anyone Else Think Their 6 Feels Cheap?

[Bahroo]

The rounded edges and lightness of it make it feel really cheap for some reason. I wish it was a bit heavier w a hard edge.

Not at all, my iPhone 6 is perfect and it feels really premium imo, I love the camera actually protruding from the phone ever so slightly, the dark metal shiny ring around the camera is a nice touch.

Buttons feel rock solid, I love the sapphire home button, and the glass front the way it curves and the way your finger glides on it is incredible IMO, And a black iPhone 6 looks stunning(black front glass) , it like morphs into the edges, the front of the phone takes over the aluminum chasis in a way if you look at it straight up and also at certain angles. Its beautiful in every way

If you wanted cheap feeling, handle the 3G/3GS.

I don't understand the lightness comment. iPhone 6 is 129 grams, heavier than 112 grams in the iPhone 5s.

Ugh, no. I hated the sharp edges on the 5/5S that dug into your fingers. I like that the 6 is comfortable to hold like an iPhone 2G or 3G/3GS.

I also thought the 6 looked a bit cheap when they first announced it, what with the plastic antenna bands. But after handling it in person, it's not such a big deal. You get distracted by the beautiful anodized aluminium finish.

But I do agree that heavier is better. A hefty device with some density feels more substantial, more premium. Although I think the 6 has done pretty well in that regard given its slim profile.

Cheap definitely not.

I'll put it like this ... I carry my phones naked. Yesterday I dropped my phone I was a little nervous but I picked it up and not ONE MARK... Had my 5s feel with the same drop the chamfered edge would have been chopped and marked up and I would've been at the Apple Store.

The 6 IMO regardless of reports are very well built and highly "uncheap"

Although I think the 5/5S felt better than the 6+, I don't think the 6+ feels cheap..

 

[Surf Monkey]

No. It feels the opposite of cheap.

People complain with the flat sides of the 4 - 5S.

People complain with the rounded edges of the 6.

Life moves.

I completely agree 100%. When I bought my iPhone 5, the first thing I did was take a file and grind down that ridiculous hard edge that would cut into my fingerprint. It sounds really insane now that I write it done, but yes, this is what I did, and it liked it, ha ha.
