Sorry guys. I couldn't handle the iPhone 6 anymore. So big, and slippery. I missed the one hand use. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus are great phones. But just too big, for my daily use. My hands would hurt from holding it sometimes. Idk, anybody else in the same boat?
Got a tip for us?

Same here, I could live with the 6 fine but every time I went back to the 5s, it felt so much more comfortable. Since it's harder to sell the 5s because of so many cheap prices out there, I decided to sell the 6 and stay with 5s for now.
I miss the big screen a bit for some things, but I don't really miss the 6 much.
The 5s is a beast in speed, and the camera is better than the 6 (no paint-like artifacts)
I think my biggest issue with 6 is that 4.7" isn't large enough to justify the upgrade, I really wish it were 5" or 5.1" like the Galaxy, then sacrificing one-handed use for a bigger screen would make more sense.

My hands aren't that big and I can comfortably hold the 6 plus, without it slipping. A soft silicone case is all you need! I dropped my old iPhone 5 many times and it can be just as slippery with the wrong case, or no case! I love the bigger screen size and can easily scroll one handed.
Choose whatever suits you!

I could never go back to the 5s after the 6. Never! Everything is so much better on the 6. And the screen is just miles better too.
Yeah, the iPhone 6 was too big for me. The phone made me use two hands and sometimes, i had to make room in my pocket for the phone. Also, the protruding camera was bothering me. I wonder why the iPad air 2 is thinner and the camera isn't protruding. But as i stated earlier. The iPhone 6 and 6 plus are great phones. Just not for me and daily use.
You could have just learned to adapt. The 6 Plus was at first too big for me as well but in a matter of time I quickly got used to the size and will never go back to the 5s size.
I still have all of my old iPhones and am considering it...
For a reason that's inexplicable to me, I've fumbled and dropped the i6 more times in a few weeks than I have all of my others combined over years. Thankfully it's been onto rugs and carpeting.
It's only marginally bigger than the 5s, and why would bigger = more droppable (you'd think the opposite)... so I can't explain it.
I am getting tired of hitting the volume & power buttons simultaneously. Prefer power on top for i6.
I really enjoy the Magpul case and am hoping that will "fix" the form factor for me.

There are times I really do miss the size of the iPhone 5/5S. But, I don't think I could ever go back.
I'm a pretty average size and I love the 6+. I'd find it hard going back to anything smaller. I wish the power button was on the top though. Not because I find it hard to push - but because I keep trying to power off my iPad by turning the volume down!
I'm coming from an iPhone 4, I've used my mom's iPhone 5S a couple times. I have pretty small hands. But after getting a 6 I could never go down to a smaller phone. Even now using my mom's 5S it feels too small. And I don't have really large hands once again.
