How many are actually keeping their 6 plus for sure?

I'm loving it. In 2011 i thought smart phones were silly. In 2012 I thought 4 inches was almost too big. Now i used my grandmothers 5c and it feels like a toy. I have no clue what I want, only Apple does.
 
Got my 6 plus on launch day. My wife got the 6. While the 6 is much improved over the 5/5s I simply am in love with my 6 plus. Battery life and screen size is the big sell for me. I leave my house at 4am most days and arrive home at 6pm, so I need something that gets me through the day. The 6 plus is without a doubt my favorite iPhone since the original, so obviously I'm keeping the 6 plus and not returning for a 6.
 
I was originally planning to use mine for a week or so to see if it would suit my purposes, but honestly, after just a day of carrying it around, it's pretty obvious that this thing is...

















...sticking around for a LONG time. No 'lag' for me. Screen is beautiful. For the most part it's not too difficult to handle with one hand, though I'm mostly a two-hander with my phone anyway. The Double-tap brings anything else to well within reach. Phone size is not a problem with my dress slacks in the least, and as I worked in the yard in shorts this afternoon, I had absolutely no trouble there, either. I've got an Apple leather case on the phone and I really can't fathom how anyone could bend this thing.

It's definitely earned its place in my daily routine.

Unlike a lot of people who went into this preorder, my dilemma dealt more with the capacity rather than screen size.

when the iPhone 5 came out I went shopping for a phone with a bigger screen. I tried all sorts of android phones, and they all went back as I missed iOS. I WAITED TWI YEARS for apple to release this phone. I wish it was even bigger! Gimme a 6.3" screen!
 
Loving mine. Best phone to this point that I have ever owned. Loving everything about this thing. Can't wait for Apps to update.
 
Keeping for sure. Got a 6 on release day, traded for a 6+ on Sunday and I am hooked. Don't believe the haters, there is no difference in performance whatsoever. Battery rocks and the screen and camera are a big step up. I had a 2 layer case on my 6, .4mm on the plus and the size is not a ton different (the main difference being the plus with the minimalist case being thinner). For me the size is fine (6"2, big hands).
 
Love my 6 plus and no thoughts of returning it. Love the screen and it is now a useful device to me with its larger screen. Carrying it in my pockets is no big deal.

I did take the precaution of purchasing AppleCare + with this phone though.
 
My 6 came in today. My plan was to possibly move to it. However after just a few hours I couldn't deal with the smaller screen. I guess the 6 is heading to CL or eBay.

I just received my 6+ today and for about an hour I was unsure what I thought. In the end, I think it will be fine.

Things I like: Screen, battery, camera, it is something different (I don't think the iPhone 6 is that much bigger than the 5). I think over the next two years, developers will take more advantage of the screen size. I'm also interested in what jailbroken type apps will show up.

Things I don't like: It is a bit heavy, pocket ability. It is a bit difficult to use one-handed but not totally impossible for me.

I think in a few days, I'll be used to the 6+. I went to an ATT store to look at a 6 and the icons and text seemed small. My old iPhone 5 looks crazy small. I wish Apple had made something in the middle like a 5.1" but if I'm spending as much money as I do on an upgrade, I want the new phone to be significantly different to be worth upgrading.

I saw a couple of people looking at the 6+ and I showed them mine. They of course asked, "Is it bent? I heard they bend." In my opinion this bent thing is out of hand. I haven't had any issues with mine all day being in my pocket and I haven't tried to be particularly careful with it or anything. I do have the Apple leather case on it which I think feels nice.

Just my $.02

I know what you mean. I got mine on the 19th and was wondering do I like this enough to keep or trade for the 6. Within a couple days there was no doubt in my mind that i would be keeping. Couldn't imagine going any smaller. I have played with a friend of mine iPhone 6 and it seems like a 5. No way I am getting rid of this phone. It's too sweet.
 
Keeping for sure. Size felt a bit large at first, but just after a day or so, it's very comfortable now. Still adjusting to "reaching" towards the corners when needed, but reachability has been helpful. I'm definitely keeping!:apple:
 
My wife and I are both keeping our 6 Pluses. Added AppleCare+ to both and put our 5ses on eBay. Really happy with the extra screen real estate. We both email a ton for work so it's already made a difference. I am paranoid by bendgate, however ours are still straight as an arrow.

I can't wait for all my apps I use frequently to be updated for the Plus (travel and banking).
 
Without a doubt keeping mine. Also, as far as performance goes, I haven't had any hiccups.. at all.. actually. I haven't had any bending either, and I've been keeping it in my pocket too. Maybe I'm just lucky, or crazy. :rolleyes:
 
I am definitely keeping mine. I love the big screen. I played with a Note 3 before pre-order to get a feel of the size. Didn't hate it then and do not hate it now. :)
 
Debating. I notice that I carry it everywhere since it doesn't fit in my pockets easily.

The extra $100 would be cool too. Thought decisions :(
 
Don't like that this model is going to be obsolete in a year. Apple will fix the structural and hardware issues. So it's returned.
 
I absolutely love mine. I'm totally used to the size now and couldn't go back to a mini phone. This thing is awesome.
