Who just upgraded from 4.7 to 5.5?

I've been rocking a 6 for the past 2 years. Decided on the 7 plus but nervous still. I didn't realize how much i use my 6 one handed until i really started to analyze it. My 7 plus will arrive tomorrow, yay early delivery! i was going to get the OG 7 4.7" but every time i see that big beautiful 5.5" screen i want it to work so bad.

Pocket size is not an issue at all, I'm stuck in the 90's so i don't wear skinny anything - just one handed use and in the gym/running has me worried. Im going to try and stick it out with the size I've been lusting after since it came out.
 
Still waiting what seems like forever for my jet black 7+, but I got my case today. Good news! It fits in my pocket! Just barely, but it fits...
 
I've had the 6 plus and the 6S plus and I never fully got comfortable with it, its still annoying to use with one hand, and to put in your pocket, I loved it when watching videos but as of day to day use its not comfortable with one hand at all...I just downgraded to the 4.7 iPhone 7 and I love the size I think its PERFECT...
 
I've had the 6 and 6s. It's a nice phone but hard to play games and watch movies. I decided to go 7+ this time. I've played around with my sister's 6s+ and love the bigger screen. Can't wait until mine is delivered
 
I upgraded and love it. Notice a few typing issues here and there. Mainly hitting the space bar when I don't mean to (going for an N or B instead). But I'm slowly getting use to it.
 
I've had the 6 for the last two years. Went to the 7+ and after having it for a few days now I'm considering going back to the 4.7. I wanted the xtra screen real estate but you can't do **** one handed. I guess you don't realize how much you do one handed until it's a challenge.
 
Those wanting a smaller phone but better battery, look at the SE :), it has battery basically right between the 4.7" and the plus.
 
I had a 6 and 6s but opted for the 7+ this time around and I don't think I could ever go back to the "regular" size now. It actually feels more secure in my hands now. I have the matte black and put a Peel case on it yesterday and the phone actually felt more slippery WITH a case on it so i think I will go naked for now but that might change at some point. Been very happy with the + size and it took me about a day or two to get used to it
 
I switched, never had a plus before. I was read for a big change since I was getting bored with my iPhone. It's big, and I'm still not fully convinced yet. I'm loving everything about it besides its massiveness, hoping I'll adjust within the next few days. The apple leather case is the best case for either size hands down. Slick.
 
My first plus sized phone, getting used to the larger format, some typos getting used to the larger keyboard but so far the larger size is going alright week one. My older 6 immediately felt diminutive... like 5mi. After ha doing the 7+ e standard 6 felt small. I'm 6'5" so larger than avg hands... seems to fit okay in jeans pocket, front or back. It is of course larger but you sort of know beforehand it will be larger when you decide to buy a larger phone. Haha. So I can't necessarily sympathize with the OMG is larger crowd...

It is not as compact on the dash using waze for driving, I'm using it horizontally because it's just too big vertical for that use. But so far no regrets trying out the larger size. May go small again in next model but will see how this experience plays out over the next 1-2 years.
[doublepost=1474418338][/doublepost]Forgot to mention I have the watch and BT earbuds so gym and on the go it's not a problem as I control most things via the watch.
 
I switched to the 7+, had the 6 and then the SE. It's been a love hate relationship so far, I love the display, speed and camera. But it's been a pain to use day to day. It may be that I'm trying to use it one handed and need to adjust to how I use it. So I'm torn if I'll return it or not.
 
I had a 6+ for the last two years and was thinking of upgrading to the 7+ for the benefits that model entails since I was really used to the size. However, I decided to hold off for a bit (for various reasons) but I still wanted a change so I recently switched to my wife's old 5S. It felt really tiny at first but after using it for a few days, I'm really starting to enjoy it. I ride the public transportation system in my city a lot and am often standing on the bus. The 5S is so much more secure in my hand on a jolting bus compared to the 6+, I can confidently use my phone with one hand again with a firm grip without having to balance it on my hand while the bus is bumping up and down. Now when I look at my 6+ it looks humongous and unwieldy. But typing on it (2-handed) is so much better. So I think when I upgrade to the 7, I'll get the 4.7 version as that seems to be the best of both worlds. Hopefully if next year's phone really does slim down on the bezels and can squeeze a larger phone into a smaller package (like the Note 7), then I'll go back to the bigger size.
