Because it's the latest and greatest and hardest to get. Then once they get it they get buyer's remorse like me, it's a sickness.
 
Probably because they've never used a phone with a 5.5 inch screen, and they think bigger = better.

It's funny how easily some people get ******** over a thread.
 
I love my 6+. I'd buy a 6++ If they had one :D

That would be an iPad mini then... Just use Skype or something for calls and you're set - you could go nuts and get the i6+++ (iPad) or hell, go the whole hog and get the iMac and a car battery to strap to your back! :) You'd be the coolest kid in town! ;)
 
We need a downvote button that locks stupid threads after it hits a certain amount of downvotes.

Skype sucks, and I'm already the coolest kid in town...:)
 
This pretty much sums up the thread. Most people browsing this thread are not regretting there purchase.

I bought the plus because i wanted a huge phone. I love it. If you wanted a small phone and bought the plus, well thats stupid of you.

Bending issue aside, because many people don't know what they want. They want the biggest phone because it's bigger. The same reason they want more CPU cores, more RAM, more MPX and more PPI...

Then they realise how big is actually 5.5" and all the problems and change their minds.
 
I originally planned on buying the "regular" iPhone 6 because Im not into 60" flat screen tvs as a phone... I always thought huge phones were hideous..

I ended up pre-ordering the SG iPhone 6+ and got on release day and I am loving it..

I chose the 6+ for a few simple reasons..
1. BATTERY LIFE!... ( That is honestly all..)
2. Im a photographer part time and figured the OIS wouldn't hurt

I have seen the 6 in stores and it fits wonderfully in one hand! But I used my 5s again the other day because I have music still on it... HOLY.. That screen is so small and i was annoyed now at how little you could see on the screen at once.

( also.. my brother did the same, only because he could then sell his iPad air due to larger iPhone screen size.. and battery of course)
 
Tell me about it bro, so I took off the iP6+ from the charger at 7am, its now 1:15pm - its still at 92%, that to me is amazing! I keep my one at close to max brightness too. I think I can run this baby almost upto 3 days if I can stop myself from turning it on just to see the cool animations :S

I think most people chose the 6+ due to it being considered more rare to get and thus more "cool", but after being able to decide between both... Yes the 6+ is a beautiful device and the battery advantages is definitely appealing.. It was just too big for me overall and I have big hands. I felt it was difficult and unpleasant to use my hand gripping the phone and using the thumb to navigate, which left the phone shaking while being used. Also, the sight of that huge brick up to your ear on a call is embarrassing to see, just wayyy too big. The 6 fit perfect and is so practical, when I need a bigger screen I will whip out my iPad. The 6+ is perfect for a woman to stick the thing in her purse and use two handed! any guy wearing jeans or shorts to the gym and expecting that thing to be comfortable and not stick out like a sore thumb... Good luck!

Many people are regretting the 6+? Umm I don't know if I'd go that far. Are there people who will exchange for the 6? Sure. But there also those will take the 6 back and get a 6+. Point being is the 6+ is fairly popular, much to the dismay of some i6 owners who are tying to downplay the 6+ just to make their iPhone 6 seem better than what it actually is. People just need to be happy with what they got.

Thank you. This is exactly what I think too, but I wouldn't be able to phrase it this accurately.
