IMO iOS8 doesn't do the large screen estate justice. App icons look super small on the screen. If you choose zoomed mode, it'd be too big. Wished Apple gave us a toggle to adjust the size of app icons.

As an iphone 4 user that had the phone for almost a week now, I can share that having the 6 is already a huge upgrade for the screen, by itself.
You get decent screen space for reading what you type while the keyboard is active now, but the full wow comes when you turn the phone sideways and it becomes a 16:9 display and it really feels puas enough already.
Already when I use my dad's iphone 5 screen it feels small.

4 to 6 is 3.5 to 4.7, hence you'd really notice a difference. But if you come from 5 to 6, it's from 4.0 to 4.7, not that much, I think. Imagine us Droid users who are already accustomed to 5.0 and above...

I would have gone for the 6+ but ability to type with 1 hand is important to me. Plus I'd imagine the 6 would fit better on an armband. I like to run.

QUOTE(cappuccino vs latte @ Oct 24 2014, 08:48 AM) iP6 is more popular among developed countries while iP6+ is famous among Asian due to preference into bigger screen size. They tends to look for a phone that can substitute a computer in which everything can be done on the phone. #thirdworldproblem Got a point there. But I would put it rather as a 'ultra kiasu' mentality where everything has to be the latest, biggest, most expensive and the best money can buy mentality. Am actually tired of people asking me when they see my Iphone 6, "Why didnt buy the 6+? Isnt the 6+ better?" question. So when I take out my 6+, they will be quiet.

Especially if you are used to using a Note 3 or OPO, it would be wiser to get the + because you are used to the larger screen. But for me, I prefer something smaller which fits into my palms and pockets without much fuss. On another side, my Iphones cant replace my ipads/phonepads. Neither can the ipads/phonepads replace my ultrabook either. And the ultrabook still cant replace the comfort of my desktop in my office too. So I guess all have different functions feature which will suit whatever types of usage we are more concerned with.

I'm personally use only 4 devices for my day to day work. 1. iPhone - main phone 2. iPad - On the go replying emails, and other enquires 3. MBP - All in one when I'm in the office.. everything including answering calls.. damn.. i loved Yosemite and iOS 8.1 4. Xperia Z ultra - as a spare hot spot device, phone, emails, and other stuff when the rest not available.

Latest iPhone problem is here after the bendgate. Are your pockets staining the plastic strips on the new iPhones ? http://www.phonearena.com/news/Are-your-po...-iPhone_id62047 it would be a better suggest the you don't go bare with your iPhone nowadays. Seems like the new iPhone is not very pocket-friendly. Anyone suffering the same problem ? This post has been edited by Brianjys: Oct 24 2014, 02:21 PM
