The iPhone 6 is really big for me. And I had the g3!! Maybe people will learn that bigger phones are not always better

Don't know about that, because lots of people are still waiting on there 6+ which is bigger so maybe bigger is better for a lot of people.

----------

I guess you don't run around very much upstairs and climb things and jump over things with a phone in your pocket.

If u don't mind me asking what are u jumping over climbing a lot?
 
Exactly.
Some people think that if iPhone 6 fits perfectly in their jeans - it should fit the same into any other person jeans... I can say, that these few centimetres make the huge difference when you are walking a lot e.g. here in New Zealand.;) The thickness does not matter so much in this case.
As we have such a steep slopes all over the walking in my area - that the phone bigger than 5 or 5s just hurts the leg by every step when you are climbing. I like to walk to the work and back - it is about 5 km back and forth by such a slopes... So, the 5 - is no problem at all, I sometimes even check if it is still in the pocket. ;) But any bigger - it really hurts, and I really can damage it bending the leg so much on every step...

There is no way to convince me that "it will fit perfectly" - as I tried to convince myself already with no luck.:) As I really like how the 6 looks and its specs... I tried to fit it into my pockets, I played a long time with it, trying to reach the screen by one hand and trying to "not feel it in the pocket the same way as I don't feel the 5"... And I had no luck to convince me - it is really not comfortable at all in comparison with my 5 and 5s for my usecase...

Understand me right please: I do not try to convince the happy owners of 6 or 6+ that their phones are to big, I just want my little 4" part of happiness too...:)

U most have some really tight pants if the 6 is hurts your leg while in your pocket. Because I have been working out at the gym with my 6+ in my pocket no prolem. Now if u don't like the 6 and the 5 does it for u then that's all good. But I find it very hard to believe that the 6 which is just .7" bigger than the 5 hurts your leg when in your pocket.
 
Please close this thread. In the game of consumerism you can never win. People bashed Apple for still having 3.5 inch phones when everyone was going bigger. They bitched and moaned when they did 4 inch phones and everyone was going bigger. Now that they've tried to find a comfortable medium with 4.7 and a bigger option with 5.5 inch phones everyone is bitching about how it's too big or uncomfortable. People are such hypocrites for crying when they wanted more screen real estate and now crying about how the phone is too big. You don't like it stay with your 5S or go and try to find another phone with a 4.7 inch screen that isn't too big for you. I don't have large hands by any means and I've adjusted to the 4.7 inch screen of my iPhone 6. And I can't reach the top left corner of my screen with my thumb using the phone one handed but that's what the reachability feature is for. People can be so ungrateful, you ask for something and they deliver but then cry about it cause now you don't want it.
 
Tim Cook, that you? Or are you just an Apple Fanboy. It's perfectly ok that people bitch about whatever they want to bitch about.. some think it's too big, some don't. That's ok.

Not even a fanboy tbh just annoyed. There's hundreds of threads like this one on here. People wanted bigger screens on iPhones and now they complain that they don't. I understand you can't please everybody but come on let's be serious now. Apple fell under pressure of the consumers wanting a bigger screen and now they wanna cry about it. I am no fanboy as I stated above, I have had my fair share of Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry, and iOS phones. I applaud Apple's effort in bringing a decent sized phone and a phablet. I completely understand that people will not like certain things but like I said Apple is trying to appease to the consumers.

The 6 is not much bigger than the 5. I guess I just don't get it.

This what I have been saying all this time. That the .7 inch is not that much bigger. And I my self don't get it either all this fuss about the 6 being to big comparing to the 5/5S is behond me. Now my 6+ is a deferent story.

i never asked for a bigger phone. and i don't care if they offer a bigger phone. but now they ONLY have bigger phones if you want to buy current generation hardware. and i'm giving a try, but over a month in, i still find it less comfortable. don't tell me i don't have a right to voice my desire that they keep offering a comfortable size. this is a forum. i don't see how people having differing opinions offends you so.

You have the right to voice your opinion and it does not offend me. I just find it hypocritical how people bitched and moaned about Apple not going with bigger iPhones to compete with Samsung and others. Maybe you're not one of those people and you actually enjoyed the size of the 5 and 5S. But a lot of people on this forum I can assure you were the same ones crying about Apple not competing with bigger phones and are now crying that the phones are too big. Again I'm not saying you in particular but there are a lot of people on here that are guilty of this.

+1. i don't get it myself, too. and it's so funny how people react to apple's iPhone 6/6+. you can never satisfy people and neither can apple. that's what they have to offer - take it or leave it. never heard this kind of complains with samsung note or other BIG phones out there - and why now and why iPhone. it's just so funny. :)

my thinking is this - that's all Apple has to offer - a 6/6+ with bigger/better screen, with slippery but nicer thin case, take it or leave it. if you like them go ahead and buy. but if you do hate them, go elsewhere and buy an android 4/5 inch screen. i have used all iphones since 3/G/S's and now have 6 and 6+, yes their bigger, heavier but this is all they have so i am happy and satisfied. if i am not i will not complain. i will just drop it and buy something else. end of story.

Oh dear. This is going to come as a big shock to you. You may want to sit down.

It turns out that we're not all one person posting under hundreds of different user names just to trick you. We are, in fact, hundreds of different people.

I know, it's a lot to take in all at once. I'm sorry to have to be the one to tell you.

You can't use your iphone 6 one handed?

Not comfortably. Being technically able to do it doesn't really count, in my book. Neither iPhone 6 is a one-handed phone.

If you haven't read my post above then you should read it. While I know there's a few people who like the 4 inch iPhone, some of the people who were crying about Apple not releasing a bigger iPhone are the same ones crying about Apple making the iPhone too big. And crying about how it should be 4 inches again. Which is were the hypocrite comment comes from. They asked for bigger phones and that's what they got.
