I just got mine this past Monday and its awesome. The screen is so clear and its hella easy to use it in daylight. No anti-glare SP needed. It feels more futuristic than any other iPhone before it. When holding it in landscape, my thumbs rest on the bezels so it feels like I have a stretched screen between them. Size is just right with normal adjustments being made each day due to muscle memory. It's nothing to complain about. This is great FOR ME.
 
I've had mine for almost a month now and I still think its great. I don't even really notice how big it is anymore....only sometimes when its in my pocket do I really notice its kinda big....not usually a problem when I'm using it.

I actually forget how big it is until someone that hasn't seen it yet remarks how big it is or is surprised at the size. Then I'm like....oh yeah, Its massive.
 
I've had mine for two weeks. I have noticed that I use my 6+ a lot more than I've ever used my previous iPhones. Mainly Web, Videos and games. I can't imagine going back to a smaller screen. For me, the trade-offs are well worth It for the larger 6+.

big bonus is that battery! charging every other day is really nice!
I hope Apple makes an even bigger screensize next year. I would love to see a 6 inch screen, that would be the tits!

this, I just came from a 4.7 inch 6, the bigger screen and sharper display and also the battery life alone is just so dam amazing and incredible, I cant ever visualize going back to a smaller screen either, even 5 inch screen smartphones feel small to me now hahah... I love the Plus, beyond happy and satisfied I switched from the 6 to the Plus.
 
I'm still in the honeymoon phase since I just received my 6+ yesterday. If I'm in a rush in the morning and do not have time to read emails, I'm not as disappointed now. Viewing emails on iPhone 6+ on the run is so much of a visual relief.

Those who have had their plus for a couple weeks now, do you find that you still use it more than the 5 series bc of the battery life and screen size?

Best smartphone I have every own. No remorse at all.

Felt big for about half a day, but now the other iPhones feels tiny.
 
I will be the dissenting opinion. I used my 6+ for two weeks. I desperately wanted to want to love the 6+. Between the larger screen, better battery life, and optical image stabilization, what is not to love?

When I first opened it, it felt huge in my hand (for reference, my hands are 9" from outstretched thumb to pinky). It was just too large for me to use one-handed comfortably. The last straw was a trip to the grocery store after my wife had texted me a list to buy. Driving the cart while using the phone one-handed was not an issue with the 5s but I felt as though I was flirting with disaster trying to do the same with the 6+.

Having the phone in my pockets was another issue. I like pants that fit nicely but nothing like skinny jeans. I typically wear slim fit Dockers which fit more loosely than the average blue jeans and I found myself having to remove the phone from my pocket if I was sitting down at the desk. It was very uncomfortable to carry the 6+ in my pocket in a freshly washed pair of blue jeans. Once they loosened up, it was bearable but not unnoticeable like my 5s had become.

In the end, I exchanged my 6+ for a 6. While I do find myself pining for the larger screen and bigger battery, I am much more satisfied with the 6. While it is still more of a chore to use one-handed vs the 5s, I can thumb all of the way across the device to the upper right without stretching my hand too much.
 
Yes I am past the stage of Bendgate I put it in my front and back pockets and sit on the phone as well by accident no bends here!
 
Add me to the happy list.:D

It's a great phone. I used to rate the number 1 feature of the plus as screen size but honestly as I use it more and more every day, BATTERY has to be number 1.

The battery on this thing is ridiculous. If I didn't charge each night at bed time, I could probably go two full days on a single charge. I used to have to charge my 5 mid day at work. Haven't used my work charger once in the month plus I have had the 6 plus.

Best phone I have used to date.
 
I've had mine for a couple weeks now, and it's done exactly what I would hope it would do: it's disappeared and it's all about the content. Everything's just so much nicer to view: web, video, books, comic books, games. Love it. :)
 
Very happy. I've been reading every day on my commute with it. I have no problem holding & scrolling with 1 hand thanks to my grippy case. Everything is easier to read, the camera is great, and I haven't had any unresolved issues.

My battery lasts all day unlike my old phone where I had to bring my charger to work every day.
 
I esp like using the plus as my car gps device, the screen size is perfect....

+1

I am now also using the plus as a car GPS device. I never was even tempted to this with the 5.

While the plus is a big phone I could not go back to a smaller screen. I'd welcome a smaller form factor though (less bezel).
 
Got my AT&T on September 25th. I still feel like I'm in the honeymoon phase. Best iPhone I've had by a large margin.
 
It's been 7 weeks for me, but I still feel like I am in a honeymoon phase because this is my first iPhone ever. Nothing has changed for me. I still love this phone! I haven't loved a phone like this since my black Motorola Razr. It's the only other time that I actually loved a phone. All others have simply served a purpose or reached a low level of like.

Conversely, I was downtown earlier today for a meeting and while there was introduced to the office assistant. I noticed she had a 6+ with what I thought was a full screen protector and asked her about it. She immediately said how she hated her phone! :eek: She didn't know about the protector because her husband got it for her and she slung it on her desk. Fortunately, it was in an Otterbox case. She's treating the 6+ terribly, plus the screen protector was dirty - like stained dirty! I wanted to rescue the 6+ and give it to someone who would appreciate it. That poor, poor phone. :(
 
I seems to have greater reception than iphone 6 or lg g3 or note 3 on verizon.
I was walking a round in areas here i was geting two bars I get four or five bars on iphone 6+ I am on verizon.
 
It's been over a month now for me. I'm actually happier with my 6+ now than when I first got it. When it arrived I took a look at the ginormous size and gigantic screen and thought I just made a HUGE mistake (pun not intended).

Now, every time I have to look at the 5s I handed down to my significant other, it looks awkwardly tiny to me. So in spite of myself, I'm really happy with it now.

That said, I'm not going to call it perfect. This is really pushing the limit to how big a phone screen can be and still be called a phone or even a phablet. this is what we're seeing with bendgate. Sorry, but I think we've exceeded the size where putting a phone in your pants pocket is "normal use." You need a smaller size if you want any hope of doing that and not risking damage, bending or otherwise, short term or long.
