Haven't seen anyone in the real world with an iPhone 6 Plus

Only seen my fiancé's 6 plus. Actually, the only time I've seen any other people with a 6 is at the Apple Store. I've seen none out and about. Everyone wants to look at my 6 though.
 
I saw a 6 and a 6+ this afternoon.

The 6 looks like a phone. The 6+ looks like it could be an iPad nano.
 
I find myself kind of hiding mine out in public:

a) because I don't want to be that person -"Hey, look at me with my new phone:cool:"

and

b) I don't want any "gee that's HUGE" comments.

If they only knew....

This is me. The few friends I do have couldn't care less about my plus. The local AT&T store has one for demo, but are WAY back ordered on the plus.
 
The other day I was at the store when someone shouted out that thing is huge. For a second, I thought my pants were unzipped until I remembered I was holding my 6 plus. Nice phone!

Okay, and what instance are you regularly getting asked about your phone?

Why is it a mystery to you?

I had the Starbucks barista ask me, a clerk at the grocery store, a guy outside a deli where I was having lunch and a group of people who were hanging out by the place where my band practices. All of these incidents happened in a completely normal, non-threatening and casual way. No one was waving phones around or doing anything unusual. It's just that the 6 Plus is big and noteworthy right now and some places (like Portland) are populated by (gasp!) approachable people.
 
Actually, now that you ask…no!

I have a 6 Plus and I've never seen another. I haven't even been to the Apple Store yet to see the display models.

Weird…other than pics online I've never seen another 6 or a 6 Plus, and I live in Las Vegas, hardly a small town.
 
I haven't seen a Plus in the wild, but a lot of people have come to me when they see mine and ask about it. They seem to ask me about the bending issue and if it's a problem, I say no because it isn't something that happens during natural use cases.

People do certainly seem entranced by it, so I think that once it becomes more readily available we'll be seeing a lot more in the wild.

Jeez, no kidding. Let me guess.....the "new" camera roll is better, too, right? People love conflict, especially behind a keyboard. #bringbackcameraroll
 
I haven't seen any other than mine. But I've only seen 2 6's, and the only reason I noticed those was because the person said "I got a new phone!" I guess I don't pay much attention.

I have been asked about mine by strangers a couple times which has never happened before. I guess a 5.5" iphone is pretty weird to people.
 
right now about 1% of iPhones in use are 6+, 5% are iPhone 6
there's about 60 millions iPhone users, so that would be about 600k iPhone 6+ in use in the world. So don't expect to see them all over the place just yet.

Thank you very much but I could've sworn I was asking someone else. Are you answering for other people now?
 
Yes, everywhere I go I am asked about my iPhone plus. No one at work is interested at all but everywhere else I go, yes. I even have a midnight blue case on it so I didn't know that people would notice it as an iPhone 6s.

I think they are feigning disinterest at my small company. They think their Samsungs are more "macho". Whatever.
 
Today I saw three 6's in each of my two classes. I have yet to see any 6+ in the wild
 
I love my 6+. A little weird the hostility early in the thread toward phablets...not sure why...to each their own. I can do almost everything on the phone one handed. I was pushing my cart through Costco today answering phone, texting, and searching all one handed with the help of the double tap. I picked up my iPhone 5s and it feels...well...very small. It feels absolutely like a mini phone after holding the 6+ for over a week. Weird how quickly one gets used to the bigger phone. For me at 6'2" with sizable hands the 6+ just feel right. I'm glad the people who like the 6 are happy with theirs. The hostility toward larger phones baffles me. (Excuse the use of ellipsis, I'm just tired)
 
I've seen equal. Course this isn't a good representative since Pluses are near impossible to find at least in my area.
 
my iPhone 6 plus has already gotten me laid twice since i got it.

it's a huge turn of for the ladies.
