So, when the iPhones were announced this year, I was 100% certain I was going to go with the plus, if nothing else because of the battery. But I ended up ordering a 6 because I was already comfortable with the ~4.9 inch screen size and didn't want to risk not liking the plus due to its size (especially because I always put heavy duty cases on my phones.)

I'm already reconsidering based on seeing so many posts on the battery life of the Plus. So, I was hoping some people could give a realistic expectation on how much worse the 6 battery is. I said unbiased because people with the plus seem inclined to brag hardcore about battery, and I'm just looking for more exact results (ex screenshots of heavy usage on 6 compared to plus.)

Thanks for any insight!

I would never get a phone I didn't feel comfortable holding or using. That's #1.

The iPhone 6 has about 6-6.5 hours of usage on my phone.
