I say go for a 64GB 6+ if you can find one. I would rather spend money on the phone than "entertainment." Lol. Besides, the 6+ will let you see plenty of "entertainment" on a nice 5.5" 1080p screen
You're in school? 6+ all the way. It's great for reading. I'm assuming you can get most of your course material online. Get an iPod for listening to music at the gym.
I actually pre-ordered and received a 6 ($749+tx) and 6 plus ($849+tx)using att next both 64gb silver, both on launch day as well.
Sold the 6 plus few hours later for $1220 and now returning my iphone 6 back to At&t and going back to Iphone 5s for now.
I will use my 5s for few more weeks and keep searching for a iphone 6 on ebay or craigslist. People who are upgrading via contract are paying $300 for Iphone 6 and will easily take $600 for it. I dont see a reason why i should pay $749 + tax for same thing. Might as well wait and then buy it again.

im a college student as well and I got a 64gb iPhone 6 as well and I personally went with the 6 only because I workout a lot, the 6+ would be a hassle for me only because its just a tad too big for me, when i squat I would have to take the phone out of my pocket because it would have been too large for my pockets and I'm not a small person so I don't wear small shorts, plus it would have been a pain for me to run with it and I HATE armbands, I can never find one big enough to fit my arms, I mean thats just my two cents, the 6 is perfect for me, I get an entire day out of a charge, I'm averaging 8.5-9.5 hours of usage, my 5S was dead at around 430-5, my 6 goes all the way until 11 o'clock with the same usage, I only wish the 6 had a 1080p screen but the size is perfect and I can live with 750p resolution it has
I just got mine Sunday and I plan to return it and order a iPhone 6 plus. After getting the 6 I went to the Apple Store to compare the two and I absolutely LOVE the 6 plus.
Just get the 6+. The worst feeling is owning something that you aren't 100% satisfied with because youll always be wishing you had gone with the +. Also, dont get 16gb. Trust me.
I'm done , i went to the apple store i know what i want , and i wanted to be cheap but now I'm just going to eat less for a month and spend a little less money for a month and spend the $100 and preorder the 64gb 6 plus
Well, don't starve yourself - it's just a phone
But seriously, you will be glad you spent the extra $100 in the long run and got what you wanted. A phone is like your sunglasses or your winter jacket - you use it every day.

i won't starve myself , i have a meal plan cause i stay in the dorms , which is required , i just won't be able to eat out at restaurants on the weekend as much lol
this is not an image item. It's what suits your needs. Not your friends. not money to say I got 64 mg. Who cares. you don't need, that much space.realy with all the other apple components you have. Don't follow any crowd. Be true to yourself not a one is bigger then the other.
your reasons for *wanting* a larger phone aren't justified.

Good. In the long run youll be much happier! Most people who bash the 6+ have never used it for more than 10 mins in the store or are mad they can't get their hands on one and had to settle with the 6. Enjoy the + when you get it!
i understand what you mean , but i don't see my self content with a 64gb 6, i have gone to apple store 5 times in a week to test out the plus , and every time i go i try to justify myself that its not that much better or worth it , and i try to justify my 6 , but i went again today and i literally felt that if I'm spending this much money why not get something i like , something that won't be sending me back to apple store to see if i made the right decision , if you made the right decision or are content with it, then your not going to need to justify your decision , and i agree its not suppose to be an image item , but it is , 75% of people get iPhones cause they are image products , but the main reason I'm getting the plus , is cause i have the 6 , and it feels just like my 5 , and i want something different
gottcha. that makes sense then. Like when I got my change in glasses. I looked at what I previously had and saw thy were the same design, just different colors. So it makes sense then to go for the larger size in a 6+
if this is sarcastic then I'm really bad at catching sarcasm , but if its not then yea its similar , in glasses comparison ; the iPhone 5 to iPhone 6 is like going from black rimless glasses to grey rimless glasses ; the iPhone 5 to 6 + is like going from black rimless glasses to hipster style glasses.I mean they both do the same thing, they both will let you see clearly and have same purpose but ones just a little bit more of a change
lol , its not "being different" that i care about , if i cared about being different the 6 or the 6+ is definitely not the way to go , the Lg G3 is (things a beast) , the reason i want to get a 6+ now is cause its feels different compared to the 6 , sure its massive but its somewhat of a change , even though I'm a have to use a flip phone and a 2nd gen iPod touch for a good month , id rather have something that doesn't end me in the apple store 5 times in a week wondering if i made the right decision or not
You should keep going to the Apple store as long as it takes, thats what I did to settle on the 6 with no regrets. For me the battery life was no big deal since the 6 already had a nice decent one that lasts for at least 2 days, OIS was not that big of a deal anymore once I saw the photo quality of the 6 vs the 6+, landscape mode... its nice, but not really needed since I want a phone not a phablet, camera... I want to be able to take photos and text with a single hand. Decision became easy.
Try putting the phone in pocket and doing squats with the iPhone 6+ in the pocket. Try holding the phone, text with one hand, then reach up towards the buttons on the top left or right.
i have gone 5 times already and i keep trying to reason why the 6+ is not worth it , but this time i went and messed around with it, i realized its the one i want , its more interesting than this 6 i have , and so what if i have to wait a month , its worth it imo lol

my phones is going to be on the floor when i do squats lmao or I'm a just get use to my 2nd gen iPod touch that I'm a be using for a month while the 6+ comes
