Iphone 6 OR Iphone 6 Plus -- which and why ?
 

I want to buy an Iphone 6 OR Iphone 6 Plus .. which size did you buy and are you happy with it ?

I got the 6. I have had iPhones since day 1 and while I do like this one it is borderline too big. No way I could manage the pop tart version. ( 6+ ). But now that I have had the 6 for a while, no way I could go back to using a 5 or 4.

I almost got the 6+, but ended up with the 6 ...and really like the size. With a thin case, it fits in a vest or suit/jacket pocket very well (no bulge) and the screen is a big improvement in size. For uses where I need something really big, I like the IPad Air 2 (tablet) or a laptop.

I got the 6. It fits in my jeans pockets(barely) and the screen size is nice.

Also, if you have a Sams club nearby, they are running a sale right now. $127 for a 16gig or $227 for the 64gig!

I have a 6 and like it but would prefer the size of the 4. No way would I get a 6+. If I wanted and iPad I would have bought one.

Depends. I have a 6, huge improvement over the 4-bigger but slimmer. If I did a ton of email/text from the phone I;d get a 6 plus as its effectively almost a minitablet.

Life is SO much better without enslavement to a cell-phone...

I couldn't be happier with my new $10month/landline and that GD monkey off my back, no longer carrying that POS everywhere.

6 fits nicely in every pocket except the front pocket of jeans. Those pockets are shallow so when I sit, crouch, etc the phone is right where my hips want to fold.

Otherwise it is a great phone.

The 6 plus is a lot bigger. Still okay for jacket pockets and loose pants. But I didn't want to carry around such a large thing.

I got the 6+ a couple months ago and I love it. Of course the screen accommodates my adult vision without glasses. It also fits in all my pockets.

This is the reason for the 6+ IMHO. A lot of mid aged plus people I know switched their 5 for a 6+ due to eyesight. It is nice not to have to put on reading glasses every time you check your phone.

That said, I am on my first and last Apple product ...

I have the 6+ and love it.

Once you get used to it, it's hard to imagine going smaller.

Are you 6+ folks using the phone to surf the web .. is it big enough to take the place of a tablet ?

6. I use the phone with one hand most of the time. I'd have to have hands like Shaq to use the 6+ that way. Coming from a 4 it's a big improvement. Great battery life and the camera is superior to the +.

This may have nothing to do with the OP's question (6 vs 6+), but does it have to be an Apple product? I am possibly the last person in the Western world to do so, but a month ago I finally replaced my flip phone with an iPhone 5s...and I'm a bit disappointed. The iPhone isn't a very good phone. Reception is worse, which is the biggest point in owning a phone IMO. If I had to do it again and I had to have a smart phone, I'd try a competitor's product.

Do you have to same carrier as before?

Yes

I got nothing. I have a 6 and no problems but never had an android.

Rumor has it there will be an iPhone 6 mini next year (same size as the 5s, but with the shape/form factor of the 6).

I have a 6+ and like it. I prefer the Nokia 1525 I had before, but app availability on Windows phones sucks.

Samsung Galaxy S5.

Kicks the 6's butt.

The other two in the house just got their first Galaxys. Both 5's. Previous Iphone users.

They love it. By comparison, they hated the Iphones.
