Who's switching sizes this year?

I had the 6, and then went bigger with the 6s+. I've decided that I liked the size of the 6 better, so I am going back to the smaller phone this fall and giving the 6s+ to my wife.
I had the 6 Plus, now the 6S. When I upgrade, I think I'll go back to the larger size. Just to mix things up.
My husband and I will stick with the plus model.
My husband though wanted to downgrade but with the battery being terrible on the 4.7 model, he decided to stick with the plus model.
My preference is the plus model always has been always will be. The positives outweigh the negatives.

Seems like a lot of people want the 6+ like me, but are unsure about the compromises. I really think the best way to really decide (for me at least) is to just get one and use it. I should know within a week or so if the larger screen is either better for my use, or annoying cause of the size. I'll never be sure unless I own and use a + for a bit.
There really is no better way to know for sure than doing just that. 20 people in a row could tell you that they love broccoli, but unless you try it yourself, you cannot truly know how you'd feel about it. I assumed for a long time that by having very large hands and always craving the iphone with the best features.....the plus would easily win out for me. I tried it and it was the exact opposite. Give it a fair shot especially if you are given a 14 day return period. Some know right away while others take some time to adjust/not adjust.
i see nothing less than plus in my future. Big hands, anything else seems tiny. Life's too short for tiny keyboards.
My wife has always hated the size of the iPhone 6 so has downsized to the SE this upgrade. I on the other hand think it hits the sweet spot in size but I do have bigger hands.
Me being me I'd be tempted to get the best of the best.
But right now the best of the best wouldn't fit in my pocket and would suck with my lifestyle.
so I'll probably go bottom of the line and go for an SE.

I had the 6, wanted the 6s+ but ultimately ended up with the 6s. I like the compactness of the small screen, but this time around I have definitely decided that I am going to 7+. This time I need the functionality of the bigger screen, especially in law school with reading case after case, I feel like its more of a need than a want this time.
iPad optimised apps will still not work on the plus size though. It's not just about the size. It's about usability and the features that come with it.
I've been pretty vocal about not getting this next device. I'm still pretty firm on that based on what we know from leaks so far, BUT if the 4.7" gets a 1080p or higher resolution screen I may switch to that. MAY. But probably still not because of the supposed camera differences.
Friendly reminder below for those who may have forgotten...

Apple has decided to run its biggest iPhone ever at a native resolution of 1242px by 2208px. It’s enough screen estate to show a lot more content than iPhone 5S and iPhone 6. Unfortunately, it is only virtually written on the software side. On the hardware, Apple has to use lower resolution 1080p panel as its physical display representation. Through the downsampling magic, 1242px by 2208px content on iPhone 6+ will be rendered into 1920px by 1080px display at the same 5.5" physical size.
Why didn’t Apple just get it right instead of a compromise? Good question then, but hey, it's nearly 2 years later now. Should this still be a compromise? Given no rumor to the contrary, I have to assume yet another year of compromise is upon us.
I'll probably get the Plus again but only because of the battery and better camera. Lesser performance than its smaller brother shouldn't an issue but is.

I'm so used to the 5.5 screen on my 6+ and S7 Edge. But really love the size of my S7 Edge better... just a little bigger than my wife's 6s. I swap my sim once in a while in both phones, but the sim is mostly in my S7 Edge. I'm leaning on the 5.5 iPhone this year... but I've learned to hate the size of the 6+ after using the S7 Edge. The features on the S7 Edge is what I wish the iPhone plus had (5.5 screen but smaller, no side bezel, amoled, fast wireless charge, great battery efficiency, I don't care much about water resistance and expandable storage but it's nice to have). If the iPhone 7 specs and features blows me away... I'll get the plus size. If not, this will be the first non-s iPhone I skipped since the 1st gen iPhone.
I had the 6 Plus and have the 6S Plus, I'm going to the non-Plus this year. It's absolutely gorgeous and great when I'm mostly static throughout the day, but when I'm going to lunch, meetings, or any other time I'm sitting down i have to take it out and put it between my legs in my chair.
I bought the plus last year and didn't like it at first, then I started to love it for awhile. It still was a bit big and cumbersome to get out of my pocket all the time, so I decided to try an Apple Watch. That was alright for a few weeks, but the watch never felt that comfortable and it didn't solve the phone being a bit unwieldy in the hands. I'm considering ditching the plus for the 4.7" phone this year, I played around with the 6S in store and it seems like the perfect combination of screen size and usability.
i will get the iPhone 7 plus this year. I much prefer the bigger screen as i watch Netflix and play a lot of games on a daily basis. Plus i wanna try out the dual-lens camera.
No I'm sticking with the plus. I've had the 6 plus and now the 6S plus. Go big or go home I say.
