it's the lowest price point so that alone will help it a lot too.....
i like space gray, it's the perfect in the middle color but the others have white around screen which i do think makes the screen pop a tad more.......i have white iPhone 5 and loved it (already in past tense! yes!!) my first white was 5, all others were black....

I do hikes around the lake. This has been my concern too. I wonder if apple will make an armband? I need to put it somewhere while I walk the dog. My pockets are not that deep.
Apple is supposed to make our lives easier not more complicated. I feel like I'm changing my lifestyle to accommodate a big iphone. Lol.
I'm pretty much set on a 6+ if it wasn't for the trail/fell running that it do. Not quite sure where to put it. I'm afraid it will look ridiculous in an armband

That pick looks about right. I did a cardboard cutout to the exact specs of the Plus. It's looks that size in my hand too.
wait, your dog doesn't know how to carry your phone yet?? what are you teaching him, how to sit or eat a bone??
where there is a will there is a way

i love the guy who made an iPhone 6+ with legos, i forget what thread but he def gets the award for most creative!!!

I'm going to make mine out of macaroni glued on cardboard.
Yeah...you did not do that right...
I think a lot of people are printing it out with the option "fit to page" selected.

I'm going to have to weigh out 6 ounces. Maybe I will use cooked Al Dente noodles and eatable glue that way I can eat it after I test it out. Lol
Maybe pop tarts?

slight problem, the phones may be bigger than heidi, love dachshunds....
well if you could keep her like flat stanley for a day, she could be your tester, then you would save on the macaroni!!

You're right, the printer printed it smaller then its actual size. I compared my current 5 with the 5S cutout and this is the accurate one. Even then, it's not that big on my hands. I can still type with one hand. I do have to shift my hand around a little bit to reach the notification center area or other parts of the screen but it reminds me of the same thing that happened when I upgraded from the 4S to the 5.

Prepare for all the I cracked my iPhone large I mean plus, screen by sitting on it. Forgot to take it out of the only pocket it fitted...the back one on my jeans.
And then the I got robbed posts. Had my iPhone large in the only pocket it fitted...back jeans pocket and someone took it out without me noticing.
*large means apple took the macdonalds route. Would you like to go large on your purchase

The option for custom keyboards in iOS8 could solve this problem on the 6+ though. As long as your hand is big enough to comfortably hold the 6+, you would just need a keyboard the size of the 5s positioned on the side closest to your thumb. Not as easy as a 5 but might be feasible.

Where is the biometric security sensor located on the HTC?
When I read the first rumors about two larger iPhones I decided to get the 4.7" as I thought that all the Android phablets looks rediculous. Then as the Keynote ended I was certain to get the iPhone 6 Plus
Now, I'm not so sure...
A few years ago, before the large screen craze started we were all obsessive about the weight, what happened to that? As nice as the new iPhone 6 Plus is, I think alot of us will grow tired about the weight of it, it's almost 180g! That, combined with the physical size makes it a device that you for sure will know that you have in your pocket
I'm pretty sure I'll go with the 4.7". I'll always hate that I didn't get OIS but I'm sure It will be added in the iPhone 6 S. Screen size is fine, when I need a larger screen for browsing, reading magazines, watching film and productivity I'll use my fabulous iPad Air
To me, a phone should be light and inobtrusive. It should be a device that I always cary with me, no matter what. I'm afraid that the large and heavy iPhone 6 Plus will be left at home every now and again and that my current iPhone 5 will continue to give me service. When I'm at home or on a plane or train the iPad is the best device for me.
Added to this equation is the new "hand off", I'm still tied to a laptop at work and iPad at home, the 4.7" will slot in nicely between them. The iPhone is a complement, not a replacement.
...and remember that a gentleman doesn't flaunt his assets, discretion is a sign of good manner
Now, I'm not so sure

Well said sir!
Yeah. Fit to page should not be selected. And also people need to make sure that scaling is set to 100% before printing them out.
The sooner people come to this conclusion the better. They can stop spending money on a tablet that will end up collecting dust.
My iPads sit around unused because my usage patterns are the same as yours and most of my friends for that matter. Fun when new, then the device becomes just another paper weight.
