I love my iPhone 6, but if the iPhone 6s has a 4, 4.7, and 5.5 options, would anyone just get the 4? I might. I hold my wife's iPhone 5s, and it is so much easier to use one handed, and I'm a small guy, so it just works for me. It'd be a debate for me. You?

Much as I'd like a smaller phone, I think I'd actually stick to the 4.7" version. To be honest, I was never really fond of the 5/5c/5s. The 4" diagonal display and 16:9 aspect ratio just didn't work well for me. On smaller devices, I prefer the 3:2 aspect ratio used on older iPhones. Now, on a snowball's chance that Apple releases a 3.5" phone again, yep, I'm getting that one.

I'm completely comfortable with my 6 plus and can't see me going smaller. It's the perfect size.

What most people don't understand is that there is still a market for the 4" screen size. In m opinion, its the perfect size phone. Fits nicely in the hand and content is easily viewable. I hope the build the 6S in the form factor of the 5S with new internal specs. I'd be really happy, plus all my 5S cases would fit.

I guess this is dead.

I think a 5.5" display is the perfect size, but the iPhone body is just too big. The G3 has the same size display, but has very small bezels compared to the iPhone 6+. I really hope they work on shrinking the top and bottom.

I'd likely go with the 6 Plus. The battery life is amazing and using a 5S since having a 6 Plus and even when I had the 6 both made that device feel like a little toy. It's really not that hard to handle.

Probably the 4.7", but I'd take a look on the 4". The iPhone 5 is so easy to use with one hand. The 5.5" iPhone size is just too much for me, won't even consider it.

Still liking the 6 Plus. Took me a while to get used to it, but rather addicted now . . .

I have the 6+ now... at this point I'd go for a 6" iPhone.

The iPhone, to me, is not really a phone anymore. It is a multimedia device and the largest screen possible that still fits comfortably in my pocket is what I want.
I want a nice crisp screen, large enough that I don't have to hold it right in front of my face with plenty of storage.

And for me, that is the 128GB iPhone 6Plus.

It has completely replaced my iPad mini, which I gifted to someone at christmas, and the main reason I still have my full size iPad is because I travel a lot and watching videos on a full sized iPad is much easier, for me than the phone on an airplane. That and I like reading books and magazines on the iPad Air.

I really struggled once I jumped to getting the 6 but now that I'm used to it and I've adjusted the way I hold the phone, it's really comfortable to me. So I don't think I could go back now, but in the future I would possibly consider a Plus mainly for the battery life if anything else.

I love my 4.7" screen. It's not too big but much easier to see. I'm an iPad Mini guy, and that device is with me 24/7"s but the 4.7 screen has been really satisfying.

Just got 6 plus after using the 6 since launch. I'm really loving the larger phone. It going to be a slight adjustment period but I could never go smaller than the 6. I'll be keeping my Plus until the 7 or whatever comes out.
