Apple has shown several times that they're not afraid of cannibalizing their own product lines. The iPad ate into Mac sales, and the iPhone all but killed the iPod. And as popular as the iPad is, it still pales in comparison to the iPhone. So if the iPhone 6 Plus pulls a few people away from buying an iPad Mini, it's no sweat off Apple's back.
A lot of smart people have pointed to the picture that Apple showed at the iPad event--the one showing all of their product lines--and said that Apple's strategy isn't that you own one of everything, but that there's at least one product in their line up for everyone. From the Apple Watch up to the Mac, Apple has a competitive product in their lineup that can fit at least one of your computing needs.
Want just a phone? Apple will sell you a phone.
Want a watch, phone & laptop? Apple has all 3.
Watch, phone, tablet & desktop computer? Absolutely.
Oh, yeah, by the way, they also have a huge ecosystem behind their products that enables you to do some amazing things. Though it's not perfect, it's getting better.
Where is that proof? I'd love to read it.
I like the screen size, I want the image stabilizer camera... but the phone size is way too freaking big for one hand holding-typing.
One of the main problems with the iPhone 6 Plus (besides the bending) is that it is really just a larger iPhone 6. It does not take advantage of the larger screen like, for example, the Note 4 does. It ads nothing. Also why is its bezel so huge?
What am I google? lol there are TONs of reports on macrumors stating fact that apple is adjusting their order ratios. For example, multiple reports that the iPad plus delayed so apple could meet demand of iPhone 6+
Are supplies of the 6 Plus still constrained? I've been trying to get a regular 6 by keeping an eye on iStocknow. At least in the Bay Area, for the past two weeks I've seen tons of 128GB 6 Plus available, but no 128GB iPhone 6. If you compare the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus charts across all sizes/colors/vendors, the iPhone 6 charts are noticeably sparse in comparison (with the exception of Sprint, which is odd). Are we being delivered a higher proportion of the bigger phones in this area, perhaps?
If anything, my conclusion based on the above was that the iPhone 6 is what's constrained, not the other way around.
Where is this magical place that I can get my iPhone 6 immediately?
Exactly the opposite of the truth.. unless having less PPI, a smaller battery, and no optical image stabilization is a good thing.![]()

I switched to an Android because I didn't want anything bigger then my 5c. I wrote Tim even letting him know I was disappointed as are many others that there isn't a 6 mini or minus or whatever you want to call it. Of course he didn't write back. He really does suck as a CEO and I wish apple would get rid of him. He's ruining my favorite brand.
For your baby hands, it probably is. I have a 6+ and I can handle it one-handed quite well.
There I was genuinely asking for something and I get ridiculed for it. Why should I google it when you're the one making the argument of how it is, without backing up any data/source to your argument?
And these "multiple reports" of the iPad Pro, are to my knowledge nothing but rumours made by industry analysts.
So much for your "lol".
The 6 plus seems huge due to its massive bezel. They need to trim it down for the 6s or 7.
I don't know why anyone wouldn't want the 6 plus. I guess to each their own.
