Who regrets their 6 Plus?

Don't get me wrong I love the screen size and I have big hands, but it's really big and was actually debating getting the 4.7 screen. But decided not too. It's a beautiful phone but it's just kinda hard to hold on to it. Maybe it will just take a little time to get used to. Anyone else in this boat.

I am and I just wrote a post on it. I've decided to return it. My first thought when I open the box its huge. I was getting use to it yesterday and thinking I'll keep it but today was the first time I had it in my pocket and outside of house. Don't like it one bit, just NO
 
I got the Plus because I wanted a HD screen. Real HD, not Apple marketing retina definition of HD. 1920x1080. I've been jonesing for an HD iPhone since I saw the first HD screen on a mobile device. And that they put that awesome screen in such a small and thin device is bonus.
 
Wow! People coming here just to insult, you knew what the thread was about yet you come in to batter the poor guy. Just move on, jeez. :eek:
 
I don't know if I regret it but I am definitely thinking about whether I should keep it or not.. its not the size as much as the screen hurts my eyes. I think my eyes are more adjusted to smaller text.

Ummm, you do know text size is adjustable, right? Go to Settings, Display and check out all the choices.

My friend retuned his this morning. We were all there when he opened it and we all started laughing because of the size! The look of horror on his face when he removed it from the box. :p

I don't get that though. Comparable Android phones are just as big and have been around for years. Not really a novel size anymore.

He came from a 5S.

He even cut out a piece of cardboard the exact size of the plus. We all held it and decided against the plus, except him.

It is all good and he is happy now.

Having choice is always good!
 
I don't reger it, but I'm not used to the larger screen. I'm going to give it a week and see how I feel. The wife has the iP6 and it's much easier to handle with one hand.
 
The issue is, there have never been phones this big before. There was no way to know the measurements prior to release. If we had known the size maybe we could have somehow, someway constructed a replica of the phone (maybe out of cardboard).

At the very least find another phone of similar size ( I know good luck right, not in this galaxy).

But we were left with no way of knowing these things and the only option was to just trust Apple and buy the most expensive phone they would sell us.

DAMN YOU APPLE

CAn't say I regret it. But I'm not used to it now. I like watching netflix on the bigger screen and don't mind the feel of it in my pocket. But it is not comfortable to hold yet. Maybe I'll get used to it. Guess I need to give it more than half a day!

Carrying it in the pocket is no problem but if it is not comfortable to hold for you out the box, spending more time with it is not going to change that unless your hands grow. I bought the 6 Plus as well and received it yesterday. I spent all day and night with it and realized that it wasn't comfortable in my hand/s no matter how I held it. It is a tall device and not very thin which is where the problem may lay for some. Unfortunately, I had to return it to the Apple store a couple of hours ago due to that but fortunately I was able to exchange it for the 6 in the same color and storage (which once in my hand, I knew it felt right for me). I based my 6 Plus purchase on what I had seen in videos but once in hand that all changed. I still love the 6 Plus but not for me, it'll still be worthy of the nodding approval from me when I see someone else with it though. Anyway hope everyone is happy with their purchases. :)
 
The multitude of threads and posts of supposed 6+ buyers having "regrets" and exchanging for a 6 reeks of desperation and a sad need for validation. It's very sad. I can't find a decent review or comparison in the lot. I hope all this 6+ envy dies down so we can get down to some serious discussion.
 
Is it possible to return a preordered 6 plus to Apple store? I had it shipped to me.

I'd like to exchange it for a regular 6. What would they do exchange it then refund me the difference?

I know the regular 6 is quite abundant in stores right now.
 
Fkin lovin it. Off the charger at 730am its 1040pm and at 61% battery. Screen is awesome, watched Rudimental live tonight, was ace. Fits perfectly in my hand, looks gorgeous. Just popped the red leather case on (had to let the scotchguarding dry) and if feels so good in the hand now. Still incredibly thin even with the case on. Speaker is loud and clear. Lovin it, totally lovin it. Don't ***** out and get the girly phone buy it man-size!!
 
I am a female with tiny hands and the plus is perfect. I do not understand the obsession with being able to use a phone with one hand :rolleyes:

My Wife has the 5C and she loves the screen on my 6 Plus. She had a play with mine and said that it is ace, she always uses 2 hands with it anyway and the extra girth was pleasurable. (Hee hee)

I won't post a thread on why I exchanged my 6 Plus for a 6 because I too am tired of all 6 is better than../6 Plus is better than.. ish that has been this forum this past week but I assure you some of us could care less about internet validation. Anyway yes, I'm ready for the macrumors iPhone forum to get back to normal:)
 
Got my 6 Plus on Friday, while my case arrived on Thursday. Thought it might be too big. I was wrong. I am so glad I did not go with the 6. Fits perfectly in my pants, shirt pocket, etc. I almost fell for the 6 plus is too big BS.

I've been using two hands since the iPhone. Yes THE original iPhone. What is this one-handedness people speak off?
