I already made up my mind and am going for the 6 plus. If I deem it too big and uncomfortable to use I'll return it and get the 6.
Had a 6 and traded it back in for the Plus and so glad I did. The screen and battery alone is enough of the dealbreaker for me. I do not miss the 6 one bit!
I upgraded to the 6 plus and although the battery life and screen was amazing it was becoming increasingly annoying to carry around the plus in my pocket and make phone calls with it each day. In the end I exchanged it for the 6 and never looked back. One handed use turned out to be much more important than ever realised. Each to their own though!
I've had massive phones in the past (Note 2 and Note 3) and whilst they were great for surfing, etc, I found them unwieldy to actually use as a phone.
Because of that, I never even considered getting a 6+ and am 100% happy with my 6

Go with the plus if you can handle it. Takes the iPhone to a whole new experience. The big, amazing screen and battery life are worth it alone. If you want a 5s like experience, get the 6. There is no better phone, it's just a matter which one you are comfortable using.
nothing could be further from the truth. I had a 5s now the 6. The experience is not the same. *insert laughter at your comment*
I suppose it's all relative. If we're comparing the 5S to the 6 and 6 Plus as upgrades, the 6 Plus is on a whole different level (not surprising, since it's a phablet, with some iPad-esque features). And in that regard, the 6 is very similar to the 5S. The display is only 0.7" larger diagonally, and its slimmer profile compensates for the larger footprint.
After my time with the 6 Plus, holding the 6 felt very similar to an old school iPhone. The 6 is simply a logical evolution of the 5/5S. It adds a bigger screen, but doesn't alienate existing iPhone users. Particularly evident when you consider that many flagship Android phones are now sporting 5.0" displays as standard.
And I don't think Ramio was saying a 5S and 6 are the same thing, just that if someone is vacillating between the 6 and 6 Plus, the 6 will feel more at home for them.
What I meant by that is that it feels like a phone still whereas the plus feels like a tablet. I understand the screen is bigger on the 6, but to me the difference wasn't that big.
To me the upgrade from the 5S to a 6 in too minimal to even notice to me. Its really an update when you get the Plus. The 6 began to feel more like a 5S to me more and more. Im use to big phones since I run android on my other line and I felt right at home with the 5.5in phone.
I feel like men should have the 6 Plus and women the 6! hahaaha (jk)

these men must walk a lot or carry purses
Went from 6+ to 6 back to 6+. Just couldn't quite use the 6 one handed so figured if I was going to use the device two handed id rather own the 6+. Plus I wanted the better battery life.
