How many are actually keeping their 6 plus for sure?
Don't care for the mini tablet in my pocket, it's what I have my 9.7 for.

My brother returned his yesterday.
Spotlight indexing does make lagging worse, but it LAGS on numerous tasks even after that's finished, bringing up multitasking windows/selector is an easy demo of the problem. It happens a lot of places though.
It's also too long. Not even too big, just too long. Longer than other phablets. Size was always a compromise, but it's too much of one here thanks to the massive bezels.
The last reason he returned it was his vibration motor literally sounded like a chainsaw. He thought it was broken, then he compared it in store. It's like in trying to make it stronger they also made it too loud.
So no, no bending. It fit in his pocket too, but it's returned.
He LOVES the 6 now too.
The only regret he has is not waiting and selling it for a profit to some poor sap on Craigslist lol

I'm keeping. It's got the most perfect white screen of any I-device I've ever owned, and I've been blessed with good displays. Unless I uncover some other hidden defect in the next few days it would be a crime to return a phone with a display this perfect.
At least I can spell. This forum is pathetic, I'm just here because I'm bored at work and you people are fun to point and laugh at.
I'll be keeping mine for sure. Just got it yesterday. At first I wasn't 100%, bigger screen, bigger battery, and OIS certainly helped. Now I'm getting used to using it. There are trade-offs for sure. I think it will only get better and better as more apps are optimized for the bigger screen.
For sur keep it and buying one more, for my son we got one now I am waiting for the unlocked GSM one.
love the size bigger is better
I want to keep my Plus. Love the screen. But I made the stupid mistake of getting 16GB. I don't download many apps, games, music, don't keep many videos/photos in my phone so 16GB has always done fine for me as my needs are purely just for mail/text/web browsing/streaming music and videos, etc. I appreciate the screen so much. But with the OS and updates taking up room, I'm afraid it's going to get dicey with 16GB so the perfect solution would be to get a IP6+ 64GB. Availability sucks tho. I have one more week to try to exchange (14 day period will be over). I can easily exchange for a 128GB IP 6 (minus, as some of you call it lol) but this screen. I absolutely love the screen on the Plus. Sigh, what to do. LOL. I doubt I'll find the 64GB IP6+ in time, yesterday I went to two stores that had it in stock and when I got there there were no more.
I had a 6 until yesterday night when I got the 6 plus, and there's no doubt that animations do lag.
That being said, I'm more than likely keeping it. I love it and can use it one handed so I'm happy.

You actually confused a missed key with a lack of spelling knowledge. I'd rather be the guy that missed a key than be the guy that didn't recognize that's what happened.
Keeping my 6 Plus 64GB Space Grey. Most gorgeous phone I've ever owned.
I went to the AT&T Store yesterday to try out the 4.7" and I thought it was nice, but it felt too small in my hands after a week of using the Plus. The size of the 5.5" comes in handy for me and it really has yet to feel like a nuisance. Web browsing is spectacular, I love the camera and the battery life has been surprising to me. I use it heavily but only have to charge it every other day, and I only charge it to around 85%.
Fits in my hand, can do quick things like making calls and texting one-handed, fits my cup holder, fits perfectly in my pockets.

Although Apple might not have the 64gb plus, since you're in the 14 day range, I think they'll reserve one for you or something like that. Call them and ask. I agree about the 16gb. It's just not enough. I got the 64 and can't be happier.
Thanks, Ramio. They'll reserve one, meaning when they get one in a shipment they can put it aside for me? I'll go to the Apple Store and inquire today. Hopefully they can, that would be perfect!
If you are definitely keeping it, you must be using it or holding it wrong.
Congrats and enjoy. Note 4 is in serious trouble.

I wasn't happy with the color/size of the Plus I was able to get on release day (the last unit my AT&T Store had), so I:
1. Bought a 64GB Space Grey on eBay for $1100.
2. And then sold my 16GB Silver on eBay for $975.
Felt a little dirty, but I got the exact phone that I wanted and only paid $25 more than I would have in-store for that size.
I think so but ask to be sure. Please let me know what they tell you. Good luck.
Will do, going soon so I'll let you know. I called and tried to ask the same thing but they weren't as helpful. I'm sure it's busy in there so in person, they'll be more insightful.
I've long wanted an iPhone over 5", and I was going to switch to Android if Apple didn't come out with one this year. I got my 6+ at 8:15 am on 9/19, and it had me at hello. Anyone who's handled a Galaxy Note or similar device wouldn't be shocked by the 6 Plus. The screen is gorgeous. I love the iPad-like landscape capability. It fits great in my hand and all of my front pockets (I never carry a phone in a back pocket). Taking photos is so much more enjoyable with this larger screen. It's much easier on my 53 year old eyes.
The 6 is a great phone, but it wasn't enough of change for me.
