Who Does Not Regret Their 6 Plus?

When I first opened the box, I must admit, I was a little like "oh no, what have i gotten myself into....", but after a few days of use, it really feels natural.

It doesn't hurt that I'm 6'5" with big hands either...lol :p
 
I absolutely don't regret it, and I really enjoy using my 6 Plus. And i can comfortably use it one-handed.
 
Really big fan of the 6+ now that I've had mine a day.

I have been between a Note 3 and LG G3 for the last year so I am pretty used to the larger size. It is good to be back to iOS especially with the continuity between my Macs. Android + Windows devices was underwhelming.

The things that the 6+ offers are really important to me - better camera, larger screen, and better battery life. I have no problem trading one hand use in exchange for these three items.

Edit: I'd also add that the screen is really really nice. I haven't spent time comparing side by side with the G3 yet, but any points where it is "worse" than the LG G3 are so minimal that I'm not sure I'd ever notice.
 
People on forums get a little jaded cause it's a place that attracts the negative views, complaints and also the type A personality that has a hard time with people not sharing their opinions.

In the grand scheme of things I would bet about 99% or more of the people who chose the 6+ are happy with it. Count me as one of them as well.. Seems like the people who weren't happy with it are unhappy because their expectations weren't realistic. Lots of "it's too big to use with my one small hand" complaints. Well no shart Sherlock, it's a phablet and not a direct replacement for a iphone 4/5/5s.
 
None at all, the size is a lot more manageable that I thought it would be. Fits in all my pockets no problem, and I wear skinny jeans and skinny chinos most of the time (I'm a guy so by skinny I don't mean proper skin tight.) Because it's so thin it's really not that noticeable despite its size.
I'm able to do most things I want on it one handed although it's obviously not as comfortable as it would be on the smaller model. I've already adjusted to having a big screen and better battery life and there's no way I'll be going back.
 
I currently have the 6 plus. I do like the bigger screen and better. But it's not a one handed device for me. I generally use two hands, even with m 5s. That being said, I did use my wife's 6 and the screen seemed so small. LOL. I'm not sure if I can do the smaller screen anymore. Once the developers start making apps for it, I think it will be an even better device. Right now I'm still on the fence if I should exchange it for the 6, but it's hard when I got a tasted of the bigger screen. :D
 
The only gripe i have with the 6+ is some stuff thats buggy in ios8...but as soon as apple releases the update and fixes everything this phone will be as close as the rapture as we have seen.
 
I'll echo others. I started out about 50/50 on whether or not I was going to return it. Twenty-four hours in, it was 80/20 in favor of keeping. By thirty-six hours, I was in love.

If anyone is really thinking about it or unsure, I'd say don't just go to the Apple Store and hold it. It'll give you the impression that it's too big and unwieldy. Actually use it for a few days. If after two or three days you're still unsure, go with the 6. But I think most people will adjust to the larger size pretty quickly.

I most definetly had my doubts when I first held it... I almost dropped it a few times. It only took a day of use to get used to it now.

Needless to say I love it and there's no way I'll exchange it for the regular 6.

LOL, I felt like such a douche on Friday when my iP6+ showed up. I had watched the video of the kid from Australia opening his up on the sidewalk with the reporter and where does the iPhone go.......right onto the sidewalk from about a 3 ft drop.

So what do I do, I get mine in and start opening up the big box that the little iphone box came in, start pulling the top of the white iphone box off and due to the suction, the top comes popping off and the iP6+ goes onto the ground. Luckily, i am sitting down in my work chair and my floor is covered in thin carpet. No cracks, no scratches. I was sweating bullets for about 5 seconds there. :)
 
Friday and Saturday I wasn't sold on the 6+. It felt a little big in my hands when I was using it. Granted I didn't use it much those first two days because I was pretty busy at work Friday and just too busy at night and all day Saturday to do much more than send / receive a few texts and check Facebook a few times.

By the time Sunday rolled around I found myself on my couch watching football and didn't put it down for hours. I'm now used to it and it feels very comfortable. My wish all along was to have a larger iPhone so I could stop using my iPad mini, which will most likely end up as a present to my daughter.

The battery life on it is amazing too. I would definitely say I have no regrets getting the Plus over the iPhone 6.
