Past
Before the Apple keynote and when it was just rumors, I had already made my decision to get the 4.7" iPhone, instead of the 5.5". Like everyone who doesn't buy a 6+, I was afraid it would be too big and overkill. Last minute decision, I decided to get the 6+. Here is my review!
Present
-Battery-
I didn't even really pay attention to the battery differences in the keynote, but was one of the first things I noticed about my 6+. No matter how hard I try, I can't run this thing out of life. Using the phone for 24 hours still netted 20% battery left. Even with heavy use of bluetooth headphones in the gym for 2 hours at a time, and my entire day consisting of being awake 17 hours, my phone still retains 40% battery remaining MINIMUM.
-Size-
The first day I held my new 6+, I was BLOWN AWAY by the size. I thought to myself that there is no way I'm keeping this phone. Its too large. Its too big. But wow it has an amazing screen! I was torn between returning it or just trying it out. After a week of having the phone, I don't even notice the size anymore. Its just a regular phone to me. But when I see an iPhone 5 or 4, I think 'HOLY CRAP THATS SMALL!' Simply put, after 3 days of usage, you won't even notice the size anymore. Its rarely noticeable in my pocket either.
-Camera-
Even though I haven't taken many pictures with the phone, the camera is fast, and the pics look great. A definite improvement over the 5s camera.
-Landscape-
Im not sure if the 6 has all the landscape options that the 6+ has, but I honestly love it. Especially the home screen. Even though its something so simple, I have found benefits from it already.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the 6+ is the best phone I have ever owned. It truly is a revolutionary product for me, despite other phones having the larger size a couple years ago. The battery is absolutely superb and I feel like I would've compromised had I bought the regular 6. The size of the phone is nothing to worry about for those who are. You get used to it just like anything else within a handful of days. I hope this review will help you make a decision or confirm the one you've already made!
