Damn.. I got to be careful with my iPhone 6 Plus because it does not have a case until next month. I don't have an AppleCare+ but I do have Asurion insurance anyway. 
Got a tip for us?

Dropped my 6+ with apple leather case on a wood floor, it bounced on one of the corners and landed screen side down.
I was freaked until i picked it up and didnt find a single thing wrong with it.

This sounds silly, but make up something that keeps happening to your iPhone 6+ and odds are a nice genius will just swap it with no questions asked. Aka, my front facing camera is off center - would be the defect thats on my iPhone 6 currently.

Yeah I don't buy into AppleCare, I pay 6 dollars a month with AT&T and covers theft, drops, water damage, cracked screens and for every 6 months I don't make a claim the deductible drops by 50 dollars.
This works better for me because theft is most likely what will happen to my iPhone if anything.

I've got insurance with my carrier. It covers everything including loss and theft. It's exp but I'd rather have peace of mind that no matter what happens I'm covered. I know the pain of having an iPhone stolen (iPhone 4) and not being insured.
Samsung have trained me well over the past few years with big phones. When I got my original galaxy note I dropped it a few times in the first few weeks whilst I was getting used to handling a larger device. After that I've been fine. I find the 6 plus to be easier to hold than my previous galaxy notes anyway.

Yep thats another word for it, maybe Apple will one day crack down on geniuses who do this. Until then it is an expenses that Apple is willing to do to keep costumers on their expensive phones.
At first glance you'd be correct.
However .... every asthetically speaking, updates to iPhone models tend to fare better in functionality/features and well slight colour choices.
iPhone 4 vs 4S:
No-Siri / Siri
Attenuation / No-Attenuation (or antennagate/no-antennagate)
color choices same - yet better 'white' balanced on 4S
Fast CPU
Better GPU
iPhone 5 vs 5S:
All Black / Space Grey ... I still prefer all Black, but no paint chipping on metal frame speaks better quality and asthetic appeal.
No-iTouch / iTouch fingerprint reader
^ I'm STILL pissed that although Apple clearly stated on announcement of 5S there is a Secure-Enclave, ApplePay says the 5S doesn't and thus not compatible..
Fast CPU
Better GPU
So ... there goes your theory.
