I'm 6'0 on the dot with wide but average length hands. I don't find the 6+ too large per say but I do think it's a little large to be used as an every day phone. I look at it more like a very small tablet.
Got a tip for us?

5'6". Average palm size but weirdly long fingers. The 6+ is still too big for me. I'll stick it out with my 5 for the rest of my contract and then consider keeping it, getting the 6, or maybe the 5s.
Can we just agree that it's personal preference? I like a smartphone where I can multitask (I.e. Walk and text) and occasionally use it as an actual phone. My phone also needs to be pocketable in women's jeans and not weigh my purse down too much. It also needs to not be huge when I put a case on it. The 6+ does not meet those criteria, and the 6 is stretching it.

Are you serious? How were you defamed?
Internet forums are filled with some very strange people...

I'm 5'11" with a hand size of 7" in length and about 4.5" wide, the 6+ is too big for me. I got the 6, and it's at the brink of comfortableness. Thankfully I can still use it one-handedly because if I couldn't, I'd probably stick with my 5S.
Just noticed I put inches. Good going me.
We'll have to agree to disagree. At 6', I'm by no means tall. Simply average.

I'm 6'3" my hands are 8" and a bit long and about 4.5" wide when I close all my fingers and thumb in tight.
I find the 6+ really comfortable to use, couldn't be happier with it.
When I have to do something on my missus 6, it feels tiny and definitely too small for me now.
I've posted this before but as its kind of relevant here it is again (my 6+ in my hand.) Just my relaxed hand, I'm not stretching out to hold it. It's the same way I hold all of my phones although the rest are a lot smaller in my hand 😀
This is why these and any other phones are subjective. One man's meat is another man's poison and all that.

I don't think height has much to do with it. I'm 5'5", and I have long hands for a female. My ex boyfriend was 5'10", and his hands were shorter than mine. So we were about average heights for our sexes, yet I had longer hands.

Lol, might as well go for the whole shebang and go straight to. I enjoy long walks on the beach, end war and poverty, inner beauty is what's important, just be yourself and I spend too much money on techy toys and so on.... 😀
Trolled? No you're just saying everyone shorter than you is short. 6' is much taller than average why would you deny that? Like what's the purpose?
Everyone shorter than me is short. To me. I just wouldn't call myself "tall" is all. I don't think being 3" above the national average is "much taller" and in my experience, I'm pretty average in height.
Look at that, I am being trolled. 🙄

Reading this thread and the other 2 threads you started (that are exactly the same topic) I am thinking you are very tall for your age.

The most difficult thing I've found to do one handed is reader mode in safari. It's a bit of a reach, but I can do it without moving my hand. What other instances did you come across that would be more difficult?
