I think that you have to go with iPhone 6 plus, because its big but i think it will really comfortable to handle and hold in hands.
 
So what happens when you have a 6+ for a couple years, per your logic everyone will be upgrading their phones to an iPad Mini because no one would want a marginal increase. It's a hard sell, I'd like a 6+ but just going around with a cardboard cutout for a while made the thing seem impractical.

Let's keep things real. We both know an iPad will never have the potability of a 6+. A 6+ is still portable for phone use. I mean, It's still a phone we're talking about; an iPad isn't categorized as a phone. There will also be a threshold on what people expect and want from a size of a phone. If the demand gets to the point where people want a phone the size of an iPad, then I'm confident, Apple will place a phone chip in the iPad mini and iPad Air to cater to that market.

This is a ridiculous example. You aren't carrying around a TV bro, much less having it in your pockets.



So can we order two one 4.7 and one 5.5? Is there a limit? I will keep the one I like and my family member will get the other.

I'm not denying there's not a big demand for the 6+ (the threads alone prove it that there is) but I'm saying that the decision isn't as simple as you make it out to be. A 5-5.2" iPhone would be perfect for me but using that cutout (trying a note tomorrow) man, that thing is pretty massive. One hand use is pretty difficult for me and let's be real, the reachability feature is essentially neutering the phone so that's not too appealing. I'd really like for the Note to convince my to get a 6+ but I just don't think it will happen.

Yea, this is gonna be the biggest iPhone launch we've seen. Those who are upgrading had the 5, 4, and 3G. So, all of those people who rushed to buy the 3G because the price was cut with contracts are buying the iPhone 6. Those who go the early upgrade from AT&T when they shortened the contracts for getting the iPhone 4 are upgrading. Those on those early upgrade plans that haven't been out for long are buying. There are some people out there that dropped the iPhone for a bigger Samsung Galaxy and now they're thinking about switching back.

But yea, iPhone 6 for me. As much as I would love to have the Plus, I run with my phone to track my distance, time, and for emergencies. Running with a phablet wouldn't be ideal. If you want a good size comparison, got to a game store and grip a Nintendo 3DS XL but ignore the thickness.

6+ = best phone buy way too big. I feel like it might conflict with my fashion choices. I got big hands so using it isn't the problem, it's when I'm not using it is the problem.

6 = I feel like I might regret not getting the 6 plus if I get this one... but the 6+ again may be too ***** big...

What is best for you.

Get the 4.7". Then go to an apple store and play with the 5.5 ". If you then prefer the 5.5 just return the 4.7 and get the larger one. You have 2 weeks to return the phone and upgrade to the larger screen.

Yeah, upgrade to a larger screen in Q1 2015
 
6+ for me at the moment.

The 6 just isn't much of a difference from my 5s to even justify burning the upgrade.

6+ brings much more to the table.
 
Get the 6+. it's like buying a big screen TV. Remember how much you regretted not getting the larger screen. Same applies to the 6. If you have a 5/5S, it's a marginal increase to the 6, but the 6+ will make a huge difference which you will enjoy. I'm getting the 6+. Will not regret it even though I haven't seen it. Now you can thank me tomorrow, so you can sleep well tonight.

Exactly! Your post helped push me over the edge to get the 6+. I've been going back and forth in my mind, but this made it final for me. I remember buying my 52" TV and getting it home and mounting it on the wall. The first thought I had was, "damn, I should have got the 60". Then, last year I finally got a 70" after debating 70" or 80" and, even though I love it, I wish I would have got the 80".

I'm not making the same mistake with the iPhone because I know I will always think in the back of my mind that I should have got the larger one. So, all that being said, 6+ for me without a doubt! 64GB, Space gray.:apple:
 
Since I have the galaxy note, I know that I don't want that in my pockets.
For women who carry purses it's less of an issue.
 
Actually, 5.5 is not that big. It is your cunsom not big enough. After u get use to this size, u may want bigger.
And of cause, 6+ is the toppest. The relation between 6+ and 6 is as well as 5s and 5c. U can see that during the whole presentation, 6+ is the leading role. Many new functions are designed for 6+.
Size is not the problem, it is your thought.

Yes, except for my big screen TV sits in my living room and I don't carry it around with me everywhere :D

I have a 70 and a 120inch theater setup but I have no interest in the 6+.
 
I just went to Best Buy and handled various Samsung Note models. None seemed too unweildy. The iPhone is thinner than all of them. I think I will go with the 5.5

Do you think you could comfortably fit them in your pocket, and use them while on the bus or train without much trouble? i'm having trouble decking which one to get, and the deciding factor is portability, because i commute a lot too and from university.
 
I was in the same dilemma early on then thought why cut myself short? If you start small, you'll never know what you're missing. But if you start big and see that it's not something you want to handle, you can always go small.

Actually, it's the other way around. Once you go big, you don't go back.
