6 without a doubt. In all fairness I tried the plus and its was just too big to use comfortably.
I take public transit to and from work and rarely get a seat so have to hold on to a rail with one hand. The one handed operation of the 6 is night and day for me. I never have issues with battery life as I always have a charger for work and home. The OIS does not make enough difference to justify the plus as some other reviewers have said and from my own testing. I don't watch movies on the device. As far as web browsing that's the only area where the plus had an advantage to me but, unlike the Air, I still have to zoom in on non mobile webpages. Most of all I carry it in my front pocket even when I am at the gym and the 6 is a more durable phone and doesn't look like a wide load in my pocket.
I can certainly see the appeal to the plus for people who carry purses/murses etc. Don't get me wrong but after using both for 3 days each, the user exp of the 6 is night and day for me not to mention its not a conspicuous.
Mileage will vary from user to user.

No regrets with the Plus. I adore it unendingly and it serves every purpose I hoped it would. The whole "bend-gate" issue is a little unnerving and I am currently going through my own stages of self-doubt and paranoia, but it's incrediby beautiful and powerful.
You guys are more annoying than Android people. If I was a college student with only one device I would go iPhone
+ but day to day pocket use. The reality is the 4.7 is the right size for the majority at this time.You guys are more annoying than Android people.

Are you sure because if I was to look at Samsung, LG, and HTC sales I would not think that was the case. How many manufactures today make a flagship phone with a 4.7" or smaller screen? So your saying if those manufactures made their phone screens smaller there sales would go up?
Just got the 6 plus and I'm coming from a s4 . With that said, I would probably go with the 6 plus again. It's so big but so cool

Me too haha. I have been carrying it with my hand because I'm too scared to put it in my pocket. Not that it would fit entirely in my pockets anyways but I like having the option

I am just saying the smaller of the two apple devices works better for people who live with multiple apple devices, jobs where they are constantly moving around or have some hands.
I would still get the 6... while I could use the 6plus okay..it just wasn't what I wanted...plus it didn't really sit well in my pockets and I think daily use would have grown bothersome. the 6 fits perfectly in my hands and pockets and it's not a chore to use.
I'm happy with my 6+ . Not too big to me . Much easier to see and type among many other positives
In it for the long haul with my 6 Plus. I haven't said that about a phone ever. I truly love this thing. Can't wait for apps to not look so ****** though...
I got the 6+ 64gb, and if I were to do it over again I think I'd get the regular 6. My old iPad 2 is getting long in the tooth, so I've been on the fence about getting a retina mini. My hope was that the 6+ would make a new iPad unnecessary, but it just isn't the same. Furthermore, I've found that not being able to use the phone one-handed is a major inconvenience. So I'm headed to the Apple Store this afternoon to downsize, and I'll put my saved $100 towards that new iPad! That said, I think the 6+ is a glorious piece of engineering. It was just too big for my personal usage style.
ITA. My daughter walked out the store with a iPhone 6 and I had to order a 6+. The back order is a month out so 90% is wrong.
I have the 4 still, I know, please no pity remarks. I am planning on the 6 only because if the fact that it will use message text over wifi which I understand the 5 and 5s will not. Olive in. Dual area and I can't use my phone at all at hime unless I use wifi. Service fades in and out too much. Am I correct in believing this is a 6 upgrade?
Got the 6 thinking the Plus would be a nightmare to deal with. Kept going back to Apple to look at them. Ended up with both phones. Now going to Plus.
So yea - wish I would've started with the Plus. I'm female so don't 'always' have to carry it in butt pocket. Both are beautiful.

6s Plus. Because then apps will be optimized from day one. Bendgate will be an issue of the past. The display will be made from sappahire. The A9 and M9 will result in even better battery life.
That's what is did after 2 hours on the plus. Returned it for a 64gb 6. The plus is just too big for everyday use and now the bendgate thing....had to pass and I love the 6. It's a perfect size.
I've just returned my 6 and bought..... a 5s!
The 6 isn't great for one handed use and the 6+ is just a - monster.
