All I know about my time with my 6 plus, is that I've been absolutely pleased with it. Battery life, size, speed, camera, etc.. it's all good in my book. The home screen orientation is a bit too sensitive, but that's a VERY minor issue compared to how some 6+ 'owners' have been reacting.

Quite agree. The phone is pretty inconvenient to use to the point that I pick it up less frequently than I did with my old phone. But the battery wins it all so I keep it

I sold my 6 plus and am now back with my 5S. Most likely going to buy the 6 later.

If the 6+ is your only computing device and you want something that excels at nothing but is OK at everything, the 6+ is your ticket. Some people want total convergence: phone, tablet, laptop.

Me, I find that the 6+ is big enough that I wouldn't take it everywhere with me and small enough that I couldn't do serious, productive work with it.

I've also go this sneaking suspicion that tablets are not nearly going to be the life-changing product category that people think it will be. A laptop and a keyboard are still just way more productive for the vast majority of people.
It's a sub 5" phone and laptopworld for the foreseeable future. Not bullish on wearables either unless the sensors can truly do something useful.

It's my convoluted way of saying that the 6+ is more of a market filling need rather than a tightly held Apple conviction. Even they did not have the guts to continue selling only a 4" phone.

Everything you have said is wrong. Computers will be out. Tablets will be in. Bigger sized screens are going to get more popular and are heart to stay. The 6 Plus is awesome.

Give it a few days until the things your used to doing one handed aren't possible and you start getting seriously annoyed. ;)

Give it a few days to adjust and you will be so glad you have the Plus.

Real world situations youo'd look like a fool, not very handy in a pinch.. I already sold my 6 plus and enjoy the extra money, used the wife's upgrade for a free 6 through verizon.. All in all I've made out with over $425..

Well good for you!

----------

Either you can or you can't, somewhat doesn't apply. I know for a fact you can't reach everywhere with your thumb on a one plus one.. Unless you're shaq that is

I can reach every thing I need to with one thumb. It's called reachabity and it works.

I know all about the gimmicky reachability, i was referring to the one plus one, like the quote implies

TLDR: GUYS. I Bought an extra large soda and I TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS TOO BIG. WHY DID THEY GIVE ME A LARGE SODA WHEN I ASKED FOR ONE.

TLDRDR: I am a ****ing retard.

Reachability works, I agree with that. With that said the amount of times I needed to use reachability was unacceptable to me.

A I don't drink soda; that stuff is nasty.
B I generally give Apple the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their products "just working" but they completely dropped the ball here.
