> Well we are looking at both the plus and non plus this weekend to do the pocket test.
I have had a 6+ for 2-3 weeks now.
I'm 6' tall, with hands that my piano teacher in my youth really envied (very large key-span).
I specifically chose the 6+ because I have been a photographer since 1958, and this is the only iPhone (and possibly the only smartphone) with *optical* image stabilization. Also the Retina-HD screen does a native 1920x1080 "full HD" display. And 240 fps video.
And, WOW!, the battery life! Typically, 2 days of normal use with no recharging. I will normally plug it in to my Macbook Pro in the evening when I'm sitting there anyway, so I start the night with it at 100%. Because I run a sleep monitor app all night, *without the iPhone being plugged in*!
The difficulty of using it one-handed doesn't bother me because I have NEVER used my iPhones one-handed. If you're used to doing that, it may be a deal-breaker.
I am getting used to it, but it still seems large, even to me. If those features were available on the 6, I would probably prefer it.
I *LIKED* the thick, slightly curved back of the 3G/3GS, that fit *solidly* in my palm, and thought that the 4/4S, with glass front and back, and "sharp" edges, was a bad idea. I think a 6S made thicker by having more battery, and, being thicker, having more room for camera improvements like OIS – THAT would be a choice device.
