This is the 6 and it is HUGE, at first it didn't seem much bigger but I can assure you it is, what is noticeable is that it is a slippery , with the rounded edges it will easily fall out of your hands so be careful. I synched with my MacBook Pro so it didn't take long, the apps, loaded quickly and efficiently, I am going to use it over the weekend and then try the 6 Plus that is being delivered to me on Monday and then decide which to have, I would keep both but really it is a hell of a lot of money for something I don't often use, never mind two!
Screen is bright, crossover is easy with most of it automated, iPhotos does not work with IOS8 so when you open the App click on 'migrate' to save the pics. Been having a play this morning while on holiday, will have it at Peterborough for people to play with if they want to see and feel it

What do you think of the 6 Plus? Its quite big, but my large hands and spider fingers are dealing with it!
If you see I said I don't get that until Monday, Dubbs is getting a plus 6" er so I will have a play with his at Peterborough and see if I can get all of it in my hand, I will also let him have a play with mine and see if he thinks it feels small after handling his, I guess you get used to the size but as mine is 4.7" I can only imagine 6" being enormous and a real handful

have fun! Does dubs know what he has signed up for Justin
Went into my local O2 store to have a look at both and they were so securely anchored down that I couldn't get a good feel for whether the Plus is too big as a phone. Got some funny looks when I placed my head on it like a pillow, but that was the only way you could get close

Quite frankly its just a phone at the end of the day, don't know what all the hype is about. Ok the 6 plus is bigger but I personally think it is going to be a hindrance lugging the thing about, will see on Monday when it arrives but the 6 seems big enough, my thumbs can't even get across that screen

Went into an EE store today to make my mind up as I was pre ordering the 6plus. I'm so glad I didn't its colossal. Tried it in my jean pocket and it protruded a fair bit, I would have broken the screen in seconds. The six is a great improvement I've had Apple phones from the 3 and it's by far the best and a perfect size.
That being said if I was more careful and didn't persue a particularly active outdoor lifestyle I would go 6plus all the way as the screen is perfect for watching videos etc.

Have to say I'm very happy with mine, everyone at the show was impressed by the size and commented on how DT's looked tiny in comparison... I've been playing with mine most of the weekend!!
Now I'm home The missus can have a good play with it tonight and see if she finds it as easy to handle.

Well that's made my mind up, I can't have Dubbs having a bigger one than mine
My new 6 plus arrives tomorrow by UPS so have made my mind up to use that, it's embarrassing having to hide the small 6 when answering it so people don't point and laugh at you, at least with a 6" one i can get it out and stand proud knowing that everyone is impressed
One more sleep and it will be here, backup done ready to sync it
