Yes, my 6 Plus caused me pain in the same area that the OP has pain.
I have small and they were sore where the fingers meet the knuckles and also my wrists were sore.
Thankfully this only lasted two days, my hands got used to it, and everything went back to normal.
 
ahhh
i was hoping someone would post this and it wasnt just my imagination lol.
but yes the first 5 days i had the 6 plus i had hand/wrist pain. I had the note 3 before and even though the iphone is only 4oz heavier i dont know why i felt like this huge difference when i first got the phone. maybe the added length and case made a difference. but i distinctly remember having wrist pain, hand fatigue, and pain in my thumb and index finger lol
 
SO.MANY.JOKES.

But no, I haven't experienced any pain. Small hands, 6+.
 
My pinky hurts with the 6+ if I hold it like every other phone with the pinky supporting the bottom of the phone. I started with a 6+, returned it because I couldn't get comfortable with the grip and I didn't like the Silver/White color and wanted 128GB. Picked up a Space Grey 6 but missed the screen. Saw a great deal on Swappa for a Space Grey 128 with a ton of extras and picked it up. Well after a day, the pinky pain is back and I am regretting the 6+. I tried the side grip, but then I can't reach the home buttom with my thumb in one handed use. I flip between phones alot and am not sure I will be able to get used to a different grip. Probably going to keep the 6 and sell the 6+ I just got.
 
#reachgate!

Edit: The only pain this phone causes me is mental pain. I check my iPhone for bends every friggin' day now.

ugh!
 
When I tried it in the store for 20 min after 5 min my wrist started hurting. I think this is subjective though, since I have wrist problems on one side. It always happens when I get something new, then I get used to it. Hopefully next year they will find a way to cut down some of the weight. Next yr when I get the plus I'm gonna try it for 7 days. If my wrists still hurt after that time I'll swap it for the smaller version. A break in period is required.
 
Is this thread a joke, or do people actually have difficulty holding a 6 ounce rectangle? Darwin would not look kindly onto some of you.
 
If you put a case on it you will feel much better. The 6 is too slipery, so a cheap TPU case on ebay for less than $5 has groove on the sides and makes the grip much better.
 
Holy crap,after all these threads Im reading about microscopic scratches, invisible bends in iPhones and now sore hands apple fanactics are anal sissy crybabies, luckily I consider myself a Apple user instead of a fanatic :eek:
OP if your a guy please dont let your significant other read this she'll feel very unprotected.
Ill be checking for a email banning me from this forum :)
 
My wrist hurts from trying to reach the top of the screen to go back in certain apps.
 
Do some push ups, dips and pull ups. That'll rid you of your girly hands.
 
This thread is hilarious. My fingers hurt.
Well unless you have shaq hands and can palm a basketball chances are you cant one hand the 6+. It's not designed for that. That's what the 4/4s/5/5c/5s were for. Thus is the new phablet phone. Do you use a tablet one handed?
 
My thumb/palm area was sore often when using the Note 3. It was all the reaching down to the home button and stuff. 6 is better, but I'm more cautious of not overextending my thumb down to the home button a lot.
 
I have pain in nearly the same spot since getting my 6. You're not crazy. Mine is located more between the ring and little finger knuckles. Also hoping I get used to this.
I have the same case. Pain is located between the ring finger and the little finger. I had to completely stop holding it in my right hand because pain gets worse.
