Just Got My IPhone 6+ and Love at First Use!

I've been using it for ten minutes and I love it already--- I can finally stop carrying around my mini air everywhere!

    That is good to hear! My not so sneaky DH got me one for Christmas I know. Is it odd to talk in to or do you mostly use a headset?

    I am not sure I want to feel like I am back in the 80's with a big phone (unless I can bring my huge NJ Guidette girl hair with me). I know I will like the rest of it though.

    Not awkward at all to talk on and BIG enough to see without reading glasses, yay!!

    I carry my iPad mini everywhere and doubt if I replace my iPhone 4 with the new one that I will stop carrying it. I have to say I am not at all thrilled with my old iPhone but love my iPads.

    I got my 6 (not plus) in the mail the other day and I love mine too. I found the six to be a little too big and duplicative of the mini.

    Are you able to use your 6+ one handed? That was my big concern, I wanted to use it one handed.

    I'm absolutely adoring the new feature in ios 8 where I can have my phone "ring" on my computer and can make and receive calls from the computer. Now I can keep my phone plugged in in its charging station and do all my calling on the laptop since I almost always have that in the room where I'm sitting.

    Beagle, I had no clue that the 6+ included that feature. That sure makes it more attractive to me. I am due for an upgrade on at least one of my devices so I am going to do some research.

    DD and I are getting new phones and we looked at the new iPhone 6 and 6+. We both decided the 6+ was too large after holding one that was in a case. She finally decided that it was too large to fit in her pocket and ended up getting the Samsung Galaxy 5.

    I'm still undecided about the iPhone 6.

    I couldnt operate my iPhones 4 or 5 with one hand so the larger size isn't a hardship for me. No case yet but I will probably get the leather Book Book from Apple that I have for other phones and iPads. I'm sure it will take some getting used to as everything does, but so far the size is fantastic!

    DH just got his yesterday ... I haven't heard any swearing ... so he must be happy so far! ;-)

    I have the 6 and am happy. I upgraded from a 4 and the larger size is noticeable. I have to stretch to reach the entire screen. DH got the plus... There is NO way I would be happy with it. Browsing the Internet is nice on it, but it's just too big imo for everyday use of texting and calling.

    It is great for texting, the keyboard is awesomely large!

    I always use talk-to-text on my iPhone. I am adjusting to the new feature where the words show up as you talk rather than all at the end. I think I liked it a little better when you just talked, hit done and then your whole message appeared...

    kswl, so glad to hear you like the 6+! Mine is on order but not suppose to get until the first week of November. I cannot wait to get a larger phone so I can see better.

    I ordered the Vaja leather cover for it a couple of weeks ago, and it is due about the same time my iphone 6+.

    I was at the apple store the other day and looked at both of them....and my preference would be for the 6...I tried typing on the 6+ and it was too awkward for me. Of course this will be a huge transition for me as I've only ever had a blackberry due to the keyboard.

    I'm going to be upgrading my mac too...but I haven't decided yet if I need more than an air...I rarely travel and so could easily go larger for home use....

    We've only had our 5s iphones almost a year but really like them, so our contract isn't up yet. Yeah, we could go ahead and purchase and probably get a good price on the 6's. But I can't see much difference in the 5s and the 6 except for the thickness so we'll probably just wait. I have an ipad mini so I'd probably not get the 6+ either. Too bulky for my pocket. Glad you are happy with yours, kswl.

    I was on the fence but have ordered the 6+. I could never use the 5 one handed either so that not a problem. It's not that much wider than the 6, mostly it's longer.

    I ordered mine at the beginning of the month and was told 3 or 4 weeks. Now I'm being told the middle of November.

    Can anyone with the iphone 6 tell me?. Can you download an article to a pdf reader on your phone and enlarge(text reflow) the font, so that the whole page is on the screen? I mean I don't want to scroll back and forth for each line on the screen. Which pdf reader did you use? I hope this makes sense. I guess I am asking if it is like a Kindle page read?
