Really. I think I found a solution: a big ass case. The slight change in grip makes all the difference. It's ugly but whatever, I can use it!
So next time you see someone with a big, thick, butt-ugly iPhone case, don't assume he's taste-impaired
Standard because I want the full iP6+ experience.
However, even though I have Standard selected, the lock screen is still zoomed (notice the indicators all re-size after the screen is unlocked). Does anyone know how to change the lock screen zoom behavior? It's driving me nuts!

That's been true since iOS 7 even on the iPhone 4. Apple just decided it's better to have larger status bar icons when locked
Standard. Zoomed compromises some of the best functions of the 6+ such as the optimized landscape view.
Standard.
Though I wish there was a split keyboard in landscape. Too hard to type with it centered.

I don't think that would have worked out because obviously the keys would be much smaller.

I don't know why they didn't put it in iOS 8. It would have been so cool too have two apps opened at once.
Me would be the same size, just split down the middle like can be done on an iPad. As it is now, in landscape, there's a bunch of function keys. The letters are centered. And on a 5.5" screen, they're too far away.
How Do You 6 Plus?
Over the past few weeks, I've been switching between the standard and zoomed display modes on my iPhone 6 Plus, and recently, I've found myself more and more content with the zoomed mode.
Maybe it's the familiarity of the UI, compared to the rotating Springboard and affected apps, or the slightly bigger(and subsequently clearer) icons and overall UI on this screen, I don't know.
All I do know, is that I seem to prefer it zoomed.
What's about you guys? Are you stuck in two minds, or firmly based in one mode?
Edit: my eyesight is great, so that isn't a factor in my decision.

I prefer the non-zoomed mode. I've always liked everything on my screen to be smaller for some reason.
Yeah standard for me too. I've also decreased the system font size as I thought the default size was a bit too big. maybe my thoughts on that will change when I get older but for now I prefer small text on a high ppi display
Absolutely zoomed is better for the 6 Plus.
Just 1 of many reasons: The keyboards in both landscape and portrait are far superior in zoomed.
(One more reason, App icon spacing and sizing on the home screen looks and functions much better in zoomed.)
