What phone are you using with your watch?

6+.


Honestly, if I was still carrying around my optimally pocketable and easy-to-wield-one-handed iPhone 4 that I tended to carry without a case, I'm not sure I ever would have seen any temptation in the Apple Watch. Apple was clever to tempt a lot of us over to these unwieldy monsters that we don't want to fetch out of pocket or purse unless we have to.
 
Old school here, using my 5, and I'm not planning on switching until next year. Maybe when 10th gen comes out (7?).
 
6+


I specifically purchased the 6+ with the intention of getting the AW when it is released.
 
6

That said, I think the Watch will increase interest in the 6+. Many people do not want to pull out a grossly oversized phone 20 times a day to check their meetings, texts, notifications, etc. However, there are times when anyone would appreciate the larger size (web browsing, reading ebooks, etc.). With the Watch, we can now follow most notifications on our wrist without pulling out an oversized phone 20 times a day, while still benefiting from the larger screen of the 6+ when we have [private] time to ourselves to browse the web, read an ebook, etc.
 
5 for now, will upgrade with 2016's model. If it's 7 and 7 Plus, I'll definitely be going for the 7 Plus now, as someone else said the Watch compliments the huge screen.
 
I use a 6+, but would gladly go down to a 6 or even smaller if they made it, now that I can access reg housekeeping on the AW...I don't need a big phone anymore....
 
6+ though not voting because it's not normalized against anything to make it meaningful.

But cut and paste from my post in another thread:

Fwiw, I'm...hopeful. I'm sick and tired of having to pull my phone out of my pocket all the time just to see the time or what just came in. Having an iPhone 6+ made it that much worse - the only thing I hate about it. Love the size, but really hate the size

It's the iPhone 6+ that is causing my interest in the watch! Crazy. Apple's stringing me along!
