Men who've upgraded since September, have you chosen the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus?
 
iphone 6, since the plus requires more than 1gb of ram which it lacks.

Eh, it doesn't require it but I would run better with it. 8.3 is a major improvement, I rarely notice lag anymore and the app/tab reloading has gotten a lot better and less frequent. I can't wait to see what iOS 9 brings.

I'm a guy with big hands. Before my 6 Plus, the biggest phone I had was my 5s so it was shock going to the 5.5" display but now it feels normal. I can almost reach the opposite corner of the screen with my thumb comfortably (I probably could if I didn't have a case on) and I really enjoy the phone. The phone compared to my iPad sometimes feels small believe it or not, and a lot of family members like the bigger display as well and are set on getting the 6s Plus later this year.
 
Imho iOS isn't made for screens like the 6+, yet. The need of a reachability-option says enough. So if I wasn't waiting for the 6S, I would buy: iPhone 6.

Reachability is only there for folks who aren't willing to use two hands, or those times when you can't use two hands. This phone is a 2 hand device.
 
I like the 6. I started with the 6 plus and it was just to big for my daily phone. I usually do the gym daily and hike a few times a week. I use my phone for music and having a 6 plus was just too large to carry comfortably while being active like that.

Same lifestyle - respect :)

This.
If you need to use the phone with one hand iPhone 6+ is a bad choice
