Dude you've made like 500 obnoxious iPhone 6+ posts the last week. We get it. That model is the supercool flagship awesomeness. Settle down.
I guess I just couldn't afford it. Gas for the 2014 Porsche 911 Targa costs so much you know.
Got a tip for us?

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

Really? His mind reading powers know better than me my own reasons for buying an iPhone.
LOL! Ok...
It totally freaks me out that they didn't make them equal in specs with the only difference being size and tweaks to the os to account for the bigger screen. I really wanted the 6 but I personally can't have a lower spec iPhone. I say again "I personally".
Dont take this the wrong way but you sound like my wife
For me the 6+ is just too big, and the 6 has plenty of power for what i will need.
That's funny considering the iPhone 5C had the chipset of the iPhone 5 and not the 5S. However, the chipset of the 6 and 6 PLUS are the same.
Are you done looking stupid today?
You post that than have the audacity to claim somebody else is obnoxious?
Wow. That's some self-delusion. Go and read the reviews, and keep your receipt.
They could have put the OIS camera in the 6, and make the case a hair thicker. Not considering supply.. I don't know how the OIS works. If it's artificial muscle, as was hinted in the leaks, then that very well may be the reason.
A 6 only phone would have been different than what it is now. The battery for sure is a luxury only the 6+ can afford. But accounting for screen size and battery, alone, they could justify $100, maybe mess with the storage too. But I suspect the specs are adjusted to add value to the 6 plus.
What does Apple want people to buy (Up-salesmanship says 6 Plus). It happened last year, and to some extent, this year. But certainly the 6 stood much better sales figures than the 5c did, on launch day.
Current reports are, they are probably making 4:1 or 5:2 iPhone 6 vs iPhone 6 Plus.
People, people... don't you feel bad for this person? There are very obvious mental issues at play here -- mostly insecurity. The same that we saw in grade school when one kid would push another on the ground because they didn't feel like their parents loved them, so they had to make someone else feel bad in an effort to make themselves feel better. It's textbook. And it's playing out right now as (presumably) adults, on a message board, regarding a cell phone choice.
We can't be the only few who see this happening... I just think it's sad that zboater, whoever they are, does not see it for what it is and go talk to a therapist or someone who can help them to be happy.
LMAO you said it right... I even went to the Apple Store and asked them which phone is considered the flagship and he told me that we are selling them BOTH as the flagship phone.
iPhone is the flagship device of Apple. Some people just can not accept that there is not ONE SINGLE thing that they can put their hands on to say "I own THE flagship iPhone. I have worth!"
I think the recent threads on here really shed light on the much ignored topic of mental illness in the world. And I'm not kidding.
Yes you are correct. iPhone is apple's flagship device. Not one single iPhone is their flagship. He said even last year they looked at the 5s and 5c the same exact way because they were "new."
Sadly I also agree with you about the mental illness. Anyone that gets on an Internet forum to feel better about his iphone purchase has issues. Like peoe going around thread to thread trying to claim the 6+ Is better because.... Anyone that buys the iphone 6 has a worse phone blah blah blah... It's sad really.
The truth is the 6 and 6+ was released to hit two different markets. If anything the 6 is the flagship Phone and the 6+ is the flagship "Phablet".

That's actually a very good analogy and a good way to look at it.
Anyone who thinks the 6 is the same as the 5c is either trying to be funny or they're just in denial
Yes, I'd agree with this. For all intents and purposes, same thing on the inside and different screen on the outside.
I think the flagship is the most popular model. I would guess the iPhone 6 64 gb. The 6 plus is a higher end option. Although the battery is better by only 10-20%, a better/larger display. And a camera "upgrade". I would have liked to have seen a little more feature upgrades in the plus than the six but I understand they want all programs to run the same on both phones. Maybe a better camera, more mega pixels?
I don't need the plus options other than the battery so I went with the 6 64.

I would agree with this to an extent. I would guess the iphone 6 64 gb will be very popular for the fact that it's in the slot where the 32 gb one normally is. So for $100 more you get much more storage now instead of doubling you now get double the storage plus another 16 GB on top of that. It's actually a very good deal compared to years past.
If the iPhone 6 had been a hundred quid more than the Plus but still lacking a few features, I would have paid it because I wanted the smaller of the two phones. I won't join the pathetic fighting here over which is better because as far as I am concerned the advantages each phone has cancels the other out. Get a grip people, they are both amazing phones and neither is going to be viewed as better than the other! lol
