No problems here with my SG/ 128 GB 6 Plus either. Very pleased (no WIFI issues, crashes). Long, long battery life also. for me this is a great phone, but for a few issues do seem to exist.
Got a tip for us?

Owners of 128 GB iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Models Reporting Crashing and Boot Loop Issues

No issues so far here. Gold iPhone 6 plus 128 GB ATT just received my phone yesterday.
Using TLC in the top of the line iPhone? That's cheap. TLC has slower random read and programming times and a measly 3000 P/E cycles (roughly). I'd expect a TLC in a $120 Xiaomi Redmi but for a iPhone 6 plus, c'mon at least ship it with an MLC. Sure it will cost a few dollars more but these are your premium customers.
500+ apps? Good grief, how can you even remember what you have installed and what they are for?
For me, they're games, in categories. Which platformer do I want to play today?
Spotlight Search is a timesaver though, when hunting for a game I want to play that don't fit neatly into a category.
(I also have bunch of book apps, and a lot of web pages bookmarked like apps--which, if Springboard is running out of RAM or something, might contribute just like having too many "real" apps. Only a theory.)
I did notice that my iPhone looped through the boot process like 5 times the other day, but I assumed that was because of the jailbreak (and that might still very well be the case). Otherwise I haven't noticed any real issues on my 6+, though I'm not using anywhere near my total capacity
Random Read does take a hit, but it still outperforms the Galaxy S4 and S5. Only the LG G3 really has a Random Read advantage. The iPhone 6 NAND dominates in the other categories, Sequential Read in particular.

Brand-new 128GB iPhone 6 Plus owner here and no problems of any kind so far. (Fingers crossed.....)
Just buy an iPad Air 2 then playing your music on high volume... See if your whole iPad shaking...
Yet somehow it is possible for every Mac I own to run flawlessly, with not a single kernel panic since around 2003.
And my iPhone 4S has never crashed.
iOS and OS X are remarkably stable and cannot normally be brought down by an app. Normally kernel panics are hardware related, exactly what is reported here.
I've experienced the issue twice in less than a week. AFAIK it hadn't happened before that.
If it happens again it's off to the Genius Bar.

It really pains me to see the jumping to conclusions here.
Honestly there isn't a person out there that can make a responsible claim that the problem is in the Flash controller. I liken this to the jerks that immediately claimed that the nitrous oxide was the cause of the Virgin Alantic Star Ship crash. Frankly just wild claims to grab media attention.
I'm sure if there is a real on going problem Apple will get to the bottom of it. There are just too many possibilities here including faulty flash chips, marginal SoC or even assembly issues.

There's even a thread on the forums here with a poll on whether your iPhone 6+ "wobbles", a sure sign of bending. Last I checked it about 25% had wobbly 6 Pluses.
So Apple's first attempt at a phablet is bendy and randomly reboots.
To be fair, they may have been copying the random reboot feature from Android. Seriously, if iPhones and iPads randomly reboot the same as Androids, then what's the point of spending a premium on the Apple products?There's even a thread on the forums here with a poll on whether your iPhone 6+ "wobbles", a sure sign of bending.

What premium? Go look at the pricing for the Note 4 and Note Edge. For like hardware specs, pricing is pretty darn close.
arg, it was either 16GB iPhone 6 or 128GB...64GB didn't come in in 3 weeks time at local set of T-Mobile stores.
I'm wondering if the issue is across all devices with that controller chip, it's just that most have not put enough apps or other items on the phone for the problem to appear for them. I have 184 apps and, with everything else, 95GB still available. I first read that people with 128GB iPhone 6+ 700+ apps had the issue. (what would one do with so many apps?)

It is a non issue because there is no credible evidence of a design failure here.
Which isn't even related to the described issue. Further if this is happening why are you not on the horn with Apple to get a new phone?
No it isn't because there are all sorts of hardware failure that can cause your problem and the problem that started this thread. Instead of whining in this forum why haven't you had the problem addressed by Apple.
By the way getting the problem addressed by Apple isn't just good for you it is good for Apple as it gives them the ability to search for the root cause of your specific machines problem. For Apple knowing what is causing field failures is extremely important because it allows for corrective actions to be taken.
Agreed. At what Apple charges for NAND upgrades they make a killing no matter what kind of NAND is used. And if this reboot problem proves to be the result of TLC NAND, then the cost of warranty replacements also ends up lowering Apple's short-term profits. Of course a reputation for selling dodgy products is priceless.
This move to use TLC NAND in the high end devices, I hope it isn't Cook's Compaq mentality creeping into Apple's hardware. We also see the same cheap-arsed approach in the Mac Mini and the iPad Mini where Apple are so focused on short-term profits they ignore the harm to their reputation for a superior user experience.
