True that. Back in 2012, I felt that the then new iPhone 5 had a large screen compared to the 3.5" screens before that. Now, after the iPhone 6+ and the 6S+; even the iphone 5 seems tiny.
My wife had the 6. Now she has the 6s. I had the 6+ and now I have the 6s+.
So, both phones are in the home and used daily. I've handled my wife's 6/6s and she's handled my 6+/6s+. She still considers the 6+/6s+ to be too large and I get the "phablet" comment frequently.
One thing that turned me off from buying the 6 over the 6+ was the fact that the screen size of the 6 is the same as samsung's last year galaxy phone. I didn't want to be on the same level as samsung users of last year when I'm buying a new phone
