Says who? It's all what you want

Hahahahaha!
The sad part is, it's comments like this that gives the Apple community a bad name. I always liked the Lunima 920 when I got my iPhone 5 and almost traded it in for that, but I like iOS too much. To me, the 4'7 reminded me that phone that I almost got. Now if I get the 4'7 and like the 5'5, maybe I'll trade it in.
Once you say "my phone is better and you're all not good enough because you couldn't get into" you just lost all respect from a lot of users. Now everyone wants a big screen, including myself. I might keep my 5s.
Wow thanks Apple now instead of arguing apple versus android now got appleheads arguing with each other. Sad can't we all just get along? Lol.
This thread makes me wonder if I've wandered into the children's forum, though children aren't capable of the douchiness witnressed here.. People chose the phone they chose for a variety of reasons, use cases and needs. Get over yourselves, it's just a phone.
Nope. Read here:

I know I learned a thing or two. The 6 rules over the 5s.
Objectively speaking, the iPhone 6+ has better specs than the 6. On paper, you get 'more' with the 6.
As you can tell, I'm obviously not a fan boy for each side. I think they both have a place in the market and there is no 'wrong' choice.
Its sad to see so many posts on this forum like, "here's why i chose the 6 over the plus!"
Actually, its hilarious. So many grown adults trying to justify why, for whatever reason, they couldn't get the 6 plus.
Obviously its a better phone than the regular 6. You think there was an actual small supply of 6+'s? Apple purposefully bottlenecked/delayed the 6+'s because they knew everyone was clamoring for them.
So they made the 4.7's readily available for the impatient people.
C'mon guys be real with yourselves.
So the assumption is that the 6+ is obviously better, so if you chose the 6, you must be settling for something inferior. That's total rubbish. From the minute the rumors about a 5.5 inch iphone started, I knew I definitely didn't want one. It's simply too big. I work at a bank, I wear a shirt and tie every day. The majority of my waking hours are spent at work. I would look absolutely ridiculous carrying a huge screen phone around. It definitely wouldn't fit in my shirt pocket, where my 5 currently resides. So, no, believe it or not, there are actually a lot of people who do not think the 6+ is a superior phone. Yes, it has a bigger screen and a slightly upgraded camera, and if I was a college student or worked from home or had some laid-back job, I'd probably consider it. Obviously a bigger screen is more useful, but it's way less practical. So, you can convince yourself that you were able to score the superior device, but really, it's all in your mind.
Here we go again... They're just phones. Some people care way too much about what other people plan to buy or have.
what better specs? the screen resolution will actually make the 6+ LAGGIER and slower than the 6 (in terms of UI). It's a downgrade in that department if anything. all u honestly get is slightly better battery life and OIS.
I'm shocked they didn't try to double up TBQH. I wouldn't have minded a 652ppi phone personally. However, I'm guessing they've probably clocked the speed higher... 2ghz vs 1.4ghz(iPhone 6) as a result of the extra processing needed.
1080p refers to a television. 1080 pixels yes, 1080p (p as in progressive rather than i as in interlaced, no)
It will be better in benchtests but not in the real world sadly. The 5S is much more powerful than the i5, but in web browsing and general usage they are identical. The processor difference between the i6 and the 5S is MUCH less than the processor difference between the 5S and the i5, and yet the i5 performs no differently. So I stand by my previous comments. The i6 gets a bigger screen and a slightly improved battery life, but unless you need the screen real estate the upgrade is non-existant in real world use.
not opinion it's a fact like it or not
on that note getting the 6 6 plus to big for me
I won't list the differences. You can search this forum or Apples website and look at the long list of differences.
Apple releases a somewhat competitively specced phone and all Apple fanboys go from caring about the "just works" experience to being specheads? Let's find some middle ground, here. You can't quantify satisfaction with a phone. If numbers were all that mattered, we'd all use Android phones which are bigger and badder in every spec checklist.
I could've gotten either, but I use my phone one-handed 90% of the time and it'd be way too clumsy with the 6+. Apart from a little better battery life, they are virtually identical in every way.

Funny innit?
Most here used to flame Android owners for having large screens. Stupid they were. Now if your iPhone screen isn't large enough you're a loser. You couldn't make it up!
Yes the 6+ has a better battery, better camera and larger screen size. It is a wonderful phone, maybe even "better" than the 6. But it is not better for ME. I don't want to walk around carrying something that big. I wanted the better battery and really contemplated the 6+ but for my small hands, it isn't the best fit for me. Yes, I can carry it in my purse, but even there I tried the cardboard test and in some of my purses it was too big for the phone pocket I use.
That doesn't make the 6 better than the 6+, it just is in my case. I will never understand why either side feels the need to denigrate the other -- can't we just agree that for some people the 6+ is better and for others the 6 is? Though this is not unique to mac forums, I see it on the car forum and music forum I belong to as well. Insecure people constantly feel the need to validate their choices by crapping on those of others. I could not care less what phone you buy, so why do you care which one I (or anyone else) buys?

subtle difference you mean? Even the battery life differences are MINOR at best in each category (LTE, 3G, etc.).
The only real worthy difference is OIS.
No, it's an opinion. Better specs on paper, usually. But better phone? Maybe. Some people actually don't like them. I know, crazy.

Let's be real...
It's like saying the note is better then the galaxy. The iPhone 6 is still a flagship device. It just so happens that this year Apple has 2 flagship devices. So what. Some will choose the 5.5" and some will choose the 4.7".
It's not like the 5s and the 5c. People should quite making it that way. Both phones have the same design. The 5.5" has a bigger display and OIS. It also has to "scale down." Also many hands-on videos has said that the iPhone 6 not the 6+ runs smoother. No one knows which one is better. We don't even know how much RAM IS In the 6+. If it sits at 1gb of RAM, then the 6 is the better phone by default.
