So is the iPhone 6 this model's iPhone 5C and the 6+ the Flagship?

I wouldn't say so, both the new ones are flagship models, since they're so similar just depends on your preference of screen.
The 5C is still the lower model (as the specs are much lower than the new phones with have the same specs), if you get my poor explanation.
So you ordered the 6?

Only difference is screen size and camera's image stabilization. Chipsets are the same.
It's my personal opinion. If it was a success there would be a 6c based upon the 5S. But there isn't.
There is no 2014 successor to the C line ( which would be based upon the 5s )
That is what pushed me over to the 6Plus. I wish they could have made the 6 a little thicker and squeezed a lil more battery into it. Although, the landscape mode could come in handy as well. Not that concerned about the image stabilization.
It's pretty obvious that in this case there is no flagship model and budget model. It's just two size options for the same device really. In the past you wouldn't have said that the 64GB phone is the flagship and the 16GB is the budget model. It's just two configurations of the same thing.
As it is, reports seem to agree that the 6 is being produced in larger quantities, so it seems that it is the one that Apple expects/intends to be more mainstream, but I wouldn't use the term "flagship" for either one exclusively. The 6 and 6+ together represent Apple's flagship line.

The inferiority/superiority complex is strong in this thread...
Seriously some members of this community have some huge insecurity issues. I've seen it all here, calling people "cheap" or "poor" because they got a 6 and not the awesome cool, astronomically superior 6 plus...
Lmao.
2 phones that are 95% same hardware, and have absolutely identical performance (in fact in most cases 6 is mentioned to be a tad smoother than 6+ in reviews), yet , you have to have a "flagship" something you can bloat about with arrogance because hey, you are the top dawg afterall!
What a pile of bs.
Guy with preordered 64gb iphone 6 plus here, who had the audacity to choose an iphone 5c last year because he was "poor"...

It's especially funny considering that these are the same Apple fans who used to stand united against attacks from so-called "Fandroids", and think that they were above them. It was stupid enough looking down on someone for liking a different phone than you, but now people are looking down on others for just liking a slightly different variation of the same phone.
It's the same irrational and insecure side of human nature that leads to people hating and killing others for believing in a different god, or even just over a disagreement in how to worship the same god. People just need others to agree with them in order to rest assured that they are right.
I think a factor in that is because the new model was a redesign too whereas the 5 to 5S was physically the same look. They didn't need a C model to differentiate the 6 and 6 Plus from the 5S.
But no one really knows the motivations behind anything except Apple. Just my speculation.
What does it matter if someone chooses a 6 over a 6+? Having a 6+ will not make you a better person than someone who bought a 6 or has a 5s or even a 4s for that matter. No one is better than anyone else. What gives you the right to say you are better than me when you only see the words I type and what screen name I have? Any iPhone is great.... There's people who can't even afford a phone, and that STILL does not make you better!
After reading the many nasty fighting comments on this forum, I'm thinking about skipping buying either one now. I don't think anyone or any phone needs to be judged so harshly. Apple tried to appeal to people who don't like phablet's (i6) and one for people that do (i6+). One is not better then the other.
Can't we just think of this as two completely different phones in two completely different categories? I have read reviews where they say the 6 is the top phone to beat for it's size category and the 6+ is the one to beat in the phablet category. This is really sad to see for iPhone fans

Only because it's physically bigger. It's not like they purposely withheld a bigger battery from the regular 6.
Ok, thats fine. It is still a difference. Why they did It doesn't really matter. Fact is it has a bigger battery and longer battery life. All I was doing is reminding the previous poster about a difference he forgot to list when trying to justify his small iPhone purchase.
Your Iphone 6+ is so big, Obi Wan said thats no moon, thats an iphone 6+!

You quoted my comment.
I think you are trying to justify having to go for the bigger one.
