The truth about iPhone 6 Plus

The only truth on this thread is that you don't own an iphone 6 plus.
Iam 5,6 and can use the plus one handed. I'm doing it now as i type this reply.
Some people just want to come over All dramatic and make out that the plus is some kind of house brick.
Joke of a thread. And a joke of an opinion.
 
If you don't like it just swap it for the 6. Don't need to justify yourself or make out that everyone should do the same as you.

I love the 6 Plus, but I'm not going to make negative comments about the 6 to justify my case
 
It is a house brick you cant take it out in your pocket its bigger than a note 3 and has a smaller screen so the design has failed.
 
The only truth about the plus now is that the apps are not optimized and you end up with zoomed in apps and keyboard like when you run an iPhone app on an iPad. It looks horrible.

Optimized apps like mail and messages gain an enormous amount of real estate if you set text to the smallest setting.

Currently with the in optimized apps, the plus rates poorly in experience. Once they are optimized, it should be a welcome benefit to those who need more real estate.

It's nonsense that people can't handle the plus, especially considering that everyone's hands are different sizes.
 
Lol how can he say that a lot more people are returning the 6 plus for the 6 and not the other way around.... Well maybe because there arr no 6 pluses anywhere. This article is so biased.
 
The op makes it sound like you can't use the 6Plus on the go because it is too big. I have had the 6 Plus since early on launch day. I am a college student and a mother of three so pretty much everything I do is on the go and I have not had one problem with it. I can use it while walking around just as much as I could with the 5s. I can carry it around in my pocket when I am walking around campus. Whenever I get to class or in my car I take it out of my pocket like I always have. I have literally not lost one bit of useability with it. Everyone has their preferences (including reviewers). There is no point in this thread but to justify your own purchase of the 6 backed up with biased reviews.
 
I really don't get all this hate for the 6 plus but the only thing I can assume after having mine for a few days is maybe people with small hand sizes?

Straight up my favorite phone I have ever owned. I wanted better battery life and a bigger (and better resolution) screen and this more than delivered on both of those. I feel like people want a reason to bash it but it really just seems unfounded to me.

*One of the people I live with got the 6 and it just looks like a slightly bigger 5 with just mediocre upgrades.
 
I'm 5'8", have pretty average sized hands and have no issues using the phone with one hand. It took some getting used to the size change, for sure.
 
So many Apple users not yet accustomed to 'choice'. This will be a funny read a few years down the road when the luxury of 'options' becomes the norm.

I enjoy a good thread where an inherently subjective choice is passed off as fact. Basing an opinion off of another opinion does not a fact make.

That right there in a nutshell. Apple is starting to give people a little bit of choice and the masses don't know how to handle it.

The obsession on this forum over using a phone with one hand staggers the mind. It has become hysterical really :eek:

I agree. Some people simply don't care if they can use the phone with one hand. Why is that so hard to believe or accept? I would rather have a bigger screen but I can see that for some people one handed usability is of utmost importance. Why can't they see that a bigger screen size is more important to some folks? This whole "controversy" blows my mind.
 
I'm downgrading, I have the 6+ on order, but I'm buying a 6. Checked them both out at the store yesterday, 6+ was just too much, it definitely wouldn't fit comfortably in my dress pants pocket at work. It's unfortunate, since the 6+ did look real nice.

But you're not sure...and that is why it bothers you that the plus really does work for some of us. Be happy in your choice, whichever it may be. Both are great phones.

No I'm not sure buddy I'm hoping someone proves them wrong so I can go ahead and order the 6+ I was going for the silver to match my mbp and iMac but after this I'm devastated as I have to use my pocket most times. I am also worried about the screen Being in contact with the surface it just screams smash I have already had 3 new screens on my 4s last one was when it dropped on to wood lam from the couch arm.
