I know about the contrast difference, I posted about it recently, but the reason I asked that is because maybe your eyesight is the reason it looks identical in sharpness and clarity of text. I can tell the difference and other reviewers have noticed the same. 326 vs 401 ppi makes a difference in text that I can notice in daily use. I have 20/12 vision hence the question in regards to eyesight. I know they don't give an eye test to everyone who reviews iPhones. I have personally returned phones for being able to see dust or particles under the screen that people with not as sharp vision just couldn't see.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting. Could very well be. I guess that works to the benefit of me if I can't tell the difference.

I'm happy having sharper eyesight but I'm content with the 6, I would have been totally fine if the screen stayed at 4 inches, too!
I'm glad that works well for you, too!! I agree. I had them side by side the other day. I would have bought a 6 if it had the same PPI. The 6+ was more than I want to deal with in real life. So I left with neither. Maybe Apple will put a better screen in a physically smaller phone next year. I'll wait, keep my 5s, and mess with some other operating systems and hardware until then.

Um. Not. The lower PPI on the 6, and on my 5s is plainly and painfully obvious to a lot of people. You are luckily not one of them so you can be happier with a lower quality screen, so you have more options.
If this is true, then I see no reason to ever get a replacement phone within the return period. If you have a problem, just get a refund and repurchase a new one with a fully intact return policy.
Yes, provided that if the store has the new ones in stock, then you can just go through the return/exchange instead of having to go through the Genius for a replacement. I've done this with my ipad mini retina because I kept getting yellow tints, eventually gave up and decided not to get the iPad Mini Retina since I got the 6 Plus.
Same thing happened to me. After a week with the 6+ I realized carrying it around work all day was not that great. Got me a 6 also.
This has got to be by FAR the biggest product return Apple has ever seen in their history, seems more and more people are returning and what some though would be the opposite is not happening. A lot of people said "Just give it time, you'll get used to it' but that's not the case at all, the more you use it, and the more to try to do stuff that you were used to doing with a smaller phone, the more you realize the phone is too big. Of course not for everyone (my dad has an LG phone and has always used his phone two handed so for him, the 6+ would probably be great) but the majority of people I believe use their phones one handed when out and about..sitting in bed or on the couch is a different story.

Oh yeah and chalk me up as another who didn't notice much if any difference in the screen quality between the 6 and 6+. Maybe in playing HD movies, there was a slight slight difference but when looking at test on the screen etc, they look very similar to me. Maybe if you bring both phones up to within a couple inches of your eyes you'd notice, when when I use my phone and it's a good 18" from my face, I couldn't tell the difference.

In the echo chamber known as the internet, the iPhone 6 Plus is a piece of aluminum foil that barely runs apps due to the immense lag people are experiencing. So yes, *that* device is probably experiencing the highest rate of return in Apple's history. The real 6 Plus, however? We'll have to wait for more concrete numbers to find out.
We also expected the same thing with the iPhone 4 due to Antennagate. Turned out the actual return rate was actually pretty low as Apple was forced to admit.
In both cases, people had/have options (use a case on the iPhone 4 if experiencing signal drops or return the 6+ for the 6). However, I seriously doubt Apple will ever reveal the return rate as they don't even provide a breakdown of different models sold. It'll just be inside information.
What a ridiculous reason. You can't even make out the pixels on a 5. Text on the 5 looks "terrible"? Ha!
