This might be the perfect combo, I know a lot of people are talking about the 6 plus being too big. But some things bigger is better, its the quick simple reply or checking a notification that I hate the size of the 6 plus. Now if the Apple Watch was released and I had picked one up, I am thinking Id be using that for these quick things and Id feel differently about the 6 plus being too big.

I was thinking the same thing last night. I don't at all mind pulling out my iPhone 5 to check for messages, but I can see this being burdensome with the 6+. The watch mitigates this issue entirely.

Cost is the trade off. The least expensive 6+ is $749 full retail, and the watch adds at least $349 to that. $1100 or so is a lot of money. Bump up to 64GB on the 6+ and the total is $1200, or close to $1300 including a case and sales tax.

I'm not sure I want to spend that much… I paid $649 for my unlocked device.
