I am wondering with some tempting figures on the 7+ model, why did you ultimately choose this size? Was it simply for the bigger screen? Do you do more things with your phone that you didn't before?

And most importantly, does it fit in your pocket comfortably???
 
Bigger screen, I don't have the greatest eyesight so it's helpful and I'm one of those people who hits all the keys when I type so it's great to have more keyboard space. I have an unlimited data plan and it's nice to watch videos on. I like bigger models, excuse is fat clumsy fingers LOL 42mm Apple Watch, 12.9 iPad, I have the 15 inch MacBook Pro but miss the 17 inch :)
 
Battery mostly, but I ended up liking the screen more than I thought. I ended up selling my iPad because I could use my phone so much more. Videos and web browsing are much nicer.

I'm a woman so barely any phones are comfortable to carry in my pocket :D

For me google maps in car and YouTube experience. I had 6s plus for a week and when i come back to regular 7 it was like going from iphone 7 to 4. I switched over to plus model. Now definitely go for X!

Bigger screen, better battery life. And yes it fits comfortably in my pocket. The 4.7inch screen is just too small for me.
 
Well, I started with the 6+ (current phone is a 6s+), not the 7+ and my choice at the time was simply because it was bigger in all aspects.

I adjusted to the size in less than five minutes.

I generally wear cargo pants and it fits just fine in a side pocket of those pants.

Fits in pocket yes. The only exception is when wearing shorts or something that may not have deep pockets. It can stick out some.

I could list a bunch of reasons, but they pretty much all equate to bigger screen / easier to see and do more. I also wanted the camera. That said I've had a plus since the 6 so I would've purchased the larger model regardless.
 
I chose the 7+ for the camera mostly. Wasn't sure I'd like the big size but I can't see myself going back now. You get used to it.
 
did have 6s+ for screen.
I like big phones/phablets as do everything on my phone.

returned to android now though with huawei mate9
 
Wanted a bigger screen with better resolution, as well as better battery life.

The size has become a pain for me though. Moving to the X with a smaller form factor will serve me well.

That's exactly what I did
