I went from a iPhone 6 to the 6S Plus. Huge weight difference
I ordered both and immediately decided to stick with the plus because of the weight.
Both phones feel heavier than last years models. The only reason I would have chosen the 6S is for better one handed use, but honestly, it doesn't feel as comfortable using one handed as the 6. So I'm sticking with the Plus.
Just a different perspective.

I actually prefer heavier phones, easier to hold on to and less likely to drop. HATED the iPhone 6 Plus because of how light and flimsy it felt, and put on a case on my iPhone 6 for extra bulk.
Wait a second..
Why does the 6s not feel the same as the 6 one handed?
That's a real question, not trolling.

I'm always amazed by those petite Chinese girls using iPhone 6+ ..... I'm a big guy with big hands but felt too big for me and easy to drop !
It'll probably just take a little getting used to, but dang, this screen is gorgeous for games and media consumption
Lol, I thought you were going to say maybe it's because I have [insert huge muscle comment here]
Better start a membership at the gym! LOL. Really, it's not bad... I like the weight of the 6 plus.I went from a iPhone 6 to the 6S Plus. Huge weight difference
I love the increased weight. Seems much more solid and less likely to slip out of my hands. In this case, more is better. You can return your phone if you don't like the increased weight.I went from a iPhone 6 to the 6S Plus. Huge weight difference
I work out pretty often and the 6+ is just too big if a device to carry even though I love the large screen.
I think for a phone I prefer the the size of the 6/6S.
You have no idea how much time I spent in the gymLol, I thought you were going to say maybe it's because I have [insert huge muscle comment here]
Exactly, it wasn't based on your post history or anything... just what I imagined someone might say as a joke?
The 6s felt a little more top heavy to me than the 6 did last year. When I hold it in landscape mode, I feel like I have to have a good grip or it will tumble out of my hand.
Granted, I only had the 6 for a few months last year before getting the 6+, but I remember the 6 being really light, like a piece of sturdy plastic.
How long until you recover? You went from a smaller phone to a larger phone. What were you expecting? Seriously. I'm too embarrassed to even look up the weight difference and post it here for you.
Actually...grams.
It's deff noticeably heavier, and thats just one thing to consider when making a choice to go to such a large phone. The Note series phones were always very light. I think Apple played the lazy route this year. The 7 Plus will most likely be much lighter with a smaller footprint and mainly the same 5.5 inch screen size.

You mean the larger glass and aluminum gizmo is heavier than the smaller glass and aluminum gizmo?
Darn you Apple!
Some people do and some people don't, personally from the sound of it if I was to upgrade to the 6S+ then it might be enough added weight that I would be able to go back to not using a case like I used to do with every iPhone that I had before.
