we can't differentiate the difference between the two phones. if apple didn't say it and we didn't have measuring tools, we would just assume it's the same size.
Got a tip for us?

How long did it take you to be comfortable with android?
I hated the fact that you couldn't get a decent screen sized iPhone during those days so I switched, when the 6+ came out I came back.
Generally willing to give all platforms a try without bias - have Asus Windows 10 laptop as main computer. Used android for a year, just didn't enjoy the experience due to lag, bloatware, bugs and poor support.
I switched from the 4S to the 6S+, it didn't take me that long. Both the 6S and 6S+ were big changes for me, so I just chose more battery life.
Took me less than one day, phone history:
iphone 3gs black [june 2011-june 2013] => samsung galaxy s4 black [5"] [june 2013-june 2015] => samsung galaxy s6 white [5.1"] [june 2015-oct 2015] => iPhone 6s+ rose gold [oct 2015-present]
With the 6s 4.7" and a case on, I realized i found I still need two hands as he case that provides protection also extends the width abit so it's as wide big as the 6s+ without the case on... which meant 1 hand using was impossible to type on the 6s so I had to 2-hand it anyway so pretty much for me both phone need to use 2 hand to get most out of it...
What made me change from 6s 4.7" to 6s+ 5.5", was because both phone need 2hand issue and also i took the better battery life phone with a better display and camera features [i really do a crap load of photography and i noticed the 6s cant render stable images well unlike the 6s+ from my testings]
so I just plunged and exchange for the 6s+ instead. Still can 1 hand scroll webpage but definitely not type with one hand one or the other... But nowadays i always use 2 hand to TEXT/msg people... because more stable, less likely to drop and be clumsy and dalso faster using 2 thumbs to type instead of one, you get so much in, its quicker...

To the overall size... 5 milliseconds
Actually hate the huge top and bottom bezels, too bad the display is only 5.5". I'm used to the 5.7" on my Note 5 and the gorgeous 6" display on my Nexus 6.
Even my fresh new Moto X Pure with very narrow bezels all around has a 5.7" display.
But I accept that Apple has become conservative and hesitant to offer full size screens.

The size was not a problem, but I must admit moving the power button took the afternoon to stop pushing on the top right of the phone xD
I sort of get where that poster is coming from. I bought a 6 Plus last year. I tried it for 4-5 days and I just couldn't deal with the size. I felt it way uncomfortable to use. I'm sure there are posts from me on here from last year listing all the reasons I swapped it for a 6.
This year I stopped into Apple just for kicks. I picked up the 6S Plus and it felt familiar yet different. My first instinct was I liked the increased weight. It stayed in my hand better. Maybe after using the 6 for a year, I appreciated the added thickness.
I ended up buying a 6S Plus on the spot and sold my 6 on Swappa. I really like it. I'm not the one-handed phone ninja I was with the 6, but I'm getting better at one-handing it every day.
