Nah, it's just the thread title attracts tall people. If you want some evidence about short people, there's a thread about 6 Plus and women - lots of responses there.

I was intrigued by the measurements of finger spread, so I just checked - from the tip of my thumb to tip of my pinky when hand is stretched out - 7.5".

I can't seem to find that thread?

I'm 5'7" and I have a plus. Generally, it doesn't seem too big, but it can be a bit cumbersome to use in bed. I considered replacing it with a 6 but the screen seems tiny after I got used to my HTC m8. First world problems...

What about not so talk men?

I exchanged mine for the iPhone 6,(NON- 6 PLUS) AND it feels so much better for me.

6' 1" and no problems using my 6+. It feels like it was made for me. I disabled the reachsbility crap. I can reach most of the screen with some adjustment

Interesting test. 6'3 230. My finger stretch is 9.5". Usually have to mail order my gloves! I hold my iPad mini at the first knuckle, thumb + middle fingers.

Ok, 6+ just arrived, heres how she looks. Supporting the back without a knuckle wrap feels pretty good for reaching the top (image 2), but I wouldn't want to try that while walking.
