Dumping the 6 plus? [merged]

I'm going to have to eat my earlier words. I was at the AT&T store earlier and the Apple Store at the mall. I looked at all kinds of Samsung phones at AT&T and did a pocket test of the two IPhone sizes at Apple Store. I've realized the 6 is still bulky in all of my pants pockets. It feels better in the hand but I'm used to a bigger keyboard now, so it was cramped to type on.

I decided it's not worth it to me to give up the slight edge in photography that oIS offers plus better battery life to downsize to a phone that's still pretty big in the pocket (of a short woman's jeans). It's a shame the rumored smaller iPod touch sized iPhones never came to fruition.
 
Switching from a 6 Plus to a 6S (also from T-Mobile to Verizon).

I love the battery life and and 1080p screen of my 6 Plus, but it's just too big to me. I miss being able to use my phone 1 handed and thats the main reason I'm going with the smaller one this time.

I'm leaning this way. I really love the screen, especially for videos, but it is pretty much impossible to use 1 handed. Pocketability was never a problem for me though.

If I end up hating the size, I guess I'll just return it and go back to my 6 plus.
 
One handed use wasn't that much of an issue with my 6 Plus, what was more of an issue was pocketability.

That's why I'm going to the 6S. One handed use will also be a lot easier to pull off.

Exact opposite for me. Fits in all of my pockets, but I just can't one hand for much other than Siri
