Honestly, I really liked the size of my 4S. It fit wonderfully in my hand and pockets. But it was 3 years old and starting to feel slow. I'm liking the features of my 6, but if there had been a 6 "minus" I probably would have gone with that.

Apple still sell the 4" iPhone 5S - 16 & 32 GB.

I know. Other than the fact that I'm looking forward to Apple Pay (my CC issuer is slated to come onboard in a couple of weeks), I don't like buying older tech. I keep my stuff longer than most, I suspect. Last years phone is one year closer to obsolescence.

Interesting feedback.

I had iPhone 5s and now samsung S4, but moving to the iPhone6. IMO after having the bigger screen of the S4, I will never go back to anything smaller. However going 6+ maybe a bit too big and cumbersome to operate with one hand.

I think the 6 it is for me!
:)
 
I wish I had gotten the 6+. I ordered the 6 because I had a 4S and didn't want to wait until now to receive my phone. I love love my 6 but pine for 6+ screen size and battery life. Will be getting the large one next year.
 
I have a SG 6 64GB and sometimes I wish I went with the plus only for the battery life. I am not impressed with the battery on my 6. Sometimes I think the battery on my Slate iPhone 5 was better and that's really concerning.

But then I realize I have an iPad Mini for a bigger screen and the MacBook Pro w/ Retina at home as the mothership so I really don't need the plus. I also value one handed use way too much and the plus is kind of pushing it for me personally. Next years 6s should satisfy my needs of better battery life hopefully.

Not sure how you're getting similar battery life to your 5. I've had the 5 and last year the 5S, the 6 easily blows both of them away in battery life. My 5S/5 would not get past 5 hours and 30 minutes of usage time while I can get around 8 on my iPhone 6.
 
The camera sucks or at least how iOS set it. My pictures on the old iPhone 5 actually look better indoors. Less noises and more details but I like the rest of the phone. Plus was never even am option, way too big for me. Even the 6 is bigger than my Nexus 4 with the same screen size

Funny enough i mostly enjoy the touch Id coming from an iPhone 5
 
I love my iPhone 6. I feel the overall device is to large but not the screen. It does take some fiddling with the phone to access the screen one handed which I do a lot. TouchID is the culprit but what it offers is worth the tradeoff.
 
I have the iPhone 6 and must say I'm really pleased with it and still feel I made the right choice rather than the 6+. I have no hankering for the Plus as much as it's a lovely bit of kit.

I'd had my eyes on the 6 rather than the Plus prior to even seeing one in the flesh as I found the iPhone 5 was an ideal size. Then saw both 6s side by side and the normal 6 was definitely the one I wanted.

It's big enough to read on, play some games etc but fundamentally it's a phone that fits in my pocked nicely but is big enough to make the most of.

Happy reading/web browsing/gaming etc for longer periods on my iPads so the 6 ticks the box for me as a phone rather than all rounder. :)
