Both the 6 and 6+ will definately last you a day's usage with your said of usage. Mine comes to average 1 1/2 days, even with the 6 if no gaming is involved.

Then maybe I'll be ok with the 6. My iPhone 5 previously would be dead by 2pm everyday (unplug from charging at about 6am)...

If you prefer smaller size, then 6 is good enough. 5s battery usage is high compared to 5s. 6 is better than 5s at about 30% rate. I would say the 6+ is another 20% better than the 6.

Agree
what i feel like the ip6+ is their market tester imho.

Those who gets it is like white mice lol.

If they are really keen to commit into this platform they would provide a different spec to cater 1080p resolution

If i change my note3 to 6plus it wouldnt be an upgrade.
downgrade in ram size and screen size
Same grade 1080p
chipset i have no idea
but an upgrade in terms of our face lol.

A long term review might be helpful for those who are undecided

i had done some battery tests of my own and found the battery on the i6+ a beast.
on a full charge, i manage to power thru entire weekend, with still some life left to go thru 1/3 of a monday. 100% on friday 5pm, 10% on monday 10am.
only thing i did not game during this time.

on other tests, a full charge at 8am with 3g on will leave u with 50-40% at 8pm.
if u choose only wifi, same time will leave u with 80-70%

all this without compromising on screen time such as fb, whatsapp, twitter, calls, etc.

+1.
Like I said it depends entirely on your usage. Group whatsapp are the main battery drainer imo. Ting ting tongtong the whole day and night.

the iPhone 6 plus will always n forever be drawn into comparisons n if its an upgrade or downgrade.
i have used my share of android(lg g3, droid dna, note3, s3, and iOS (all the iPhones) devices and with all the customization possibilities and higher ram n specs on androids, i still find that the iPhone comes out on top for me.
a higher ram does not guarantee a better or smoother experience.
modern combat 5 was released a short while ago, played it on g3, and a month ago on the i6+.
the difference is very noticeable in terms of loading wait times, n slight lags in the g3.
the i6+ offered a seamless experience even with 1gb ram compared to the 3gb on the g3.
android can offer better specs n everything, but their memory management still lags behind and the iOS is able to get most out of ur iPhone even with 1gb ram.

iphone not only offers u a phone, it offers u an ecosystem and a holistic experience in my opinion.
i was already using the Mac and iPhone together earlier and now with continuity, I'm loving this ecosystem even more.

for those deciding between ip6 n ip6+, In my opinion, the screen size is not the biggest thing u shud be considering, rather the battery u shud be worried about.
many of u would be upgrading from iphone4/5, 4/5s and the screen on iPhone 6 will already be an upgrade in a way. what u will be missing out from the iPhone 6 plus is the mammoth battery rather than the screen.

The only aspect of the ip6+ ( 64gb) that impress me its is insanely great battery life, I had been using it as my main phone past 8 days. I had put aside my Androids just to test it fully
Functionality wise it can never match any of my previous Androids - eg LG G Pro2, Oppo Find 7, and current Note4
iPhone smoothness - i find previous ip5 is still has an edge of it. My ip6+ on 8.02 was slightly laggy but this had improved on 8.1
Apps incompatibility with the bigger display is still there but I believe is only a minor issue as most developers would had upgraded their apps over time. Many users complain about Whatsapp but I am perfectly comfortable with its font sizing

i never need to worry on my battery life currently.
i can leave my hse with less than 50 and still know i can make it a full day out.

true on that screen issue.
this was dejavu all over again for me as had the same experience going from 3gs to ip4 previously.
over time, all apps will be looking crisp and beautiful on the ip6.

Just curious about "Functionality" that you mentioned. Could you please elaborate more about this? Thanks!

Me too wanna know.

Aiseh. Safari on my 4S keeps crashing when I'm trying to read that review. Time to change ...

My opinion a few pages back is that it's not going to be much of a real upgrade for me.

As of now, functions I know I will miss from my Android experience:

- app sharing. Example I can share my photos with just about any app from the album (I believe iOS has slight improvement do this?)

- extra row of numbers on keyboard so I don't have to hit one extra button to switch fon alphabet to numerical keys (maybe future update release)

Experience fiddling with sister's iPhone 6. Was an iPhone original user, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, iPhone 4, Galaxy Note 2 and currently iPhone 4S.

As I mentioned, iOS is familiar and not much massive changes. To me, if I feel if you've been using iOS before, you'll be up and running in no time with an easylearning curve. If you're switching from a smaller phone like iPhone 4 a 5s range, you'll get the experience of the bigger screen and battery life (from what I've been reading so far).

If switching from phablets like Note 2 or 3 or other 5-inchers, it's the iOS experience and battery life.

Any idea where can I get this case? Spigen website is charging usd23 for delivery to Malaysia.

Examples :
- file access n file sharing out to n fro from external thumb drives n ext sdcard. You need iTunes to manage files on phones. Versatility n flexibility loses greatly to Android OS. Jailbreak improve this slightly n not a complete solution as tested before with ip5
- sharing of info is very limited from browser, newsreader, Facebook n Tweeter. IOS 8.1 only some minor improvement only
- email cannot attach other file types eg zip, pdf, office files besides photo n video. Backdoor way is unproductive especially if you need attach multi attachment
- checking image size n properties not possible from photo app. I need to use another app just for that
These are some common iOS issues that affects my personal usage. Those who don't need these will even be unaware of such iOS disadvantages
There are several more functionality issues which I am not going to mentioned as is minor. The above are major ones that affects my usage of the phone

PM me if you interested. I got new one from amazon but I decided to get 6 so want to let go.

All the major points that you highlighted seem limitation fact to the current version of iOS. But personally, I rarely use or rely one of the mentioned functions. It might be important for someone, especially for those use phone as business purpose or photographers that require a lot of editing, sharing and moving photos. Furthermore, new Android Lolipop look much powerful while it release to others android phone sooner...

Getting a gold one later today. Any good cases to recommend for gold color ip6+?

if like this than y not wait for the ip6s/6+s?

Not limited to present IOS. It has always been so since first IOS. However sharing has improved slightly though still limited in iOS 8. Is true many users don't need such stuffs but for those who need it regularly the iPhone is at a disadvantage
