Which iPhone 6 are you considering?

justsomebloke · 11-09-2014 4:07pm

I'm an android user who has gone from an Huaweii P6 (a 720p 4.7" phone smaller then the 6) to a OnePlus One (a 1080p 5.5" phone smaller and narrower but thicker then the 6 Plus).

I bought the OnePlus without actually knowing that is was a 5.5" screen opened the box and went "feck, that's too big. I screwed that up" however now I wouldn't be without the extra real estate. It's awesome and makes browsing and using the phone a lot more pleasurable.

So my 2c is that if you are on the fence and money isn't an option then get the plus, in the long run you probably won't regret it in the slightest.

It's an expensive test though :-).

How long did it take you to get used to it? I have played with 5.5" screens and thought " too big" and I said on here already I wouldn't get the plus. However if there was a chance that I would get used to it I might reconsider.

i had a nexus 4. Had all sorts of problems with it. Returned it twice and eventually got a full refund

Better stick to the iphone then, they never have any defects. Not a single one has ever been returned.

Gumbo · 11-09-2014 4:37pm

Ignore, double post.

Had decided a while ago on the iPhone 6 instead of the plus but now the seed of doubt has been firmly planted

I only spent €350 on my 64Gb phone so I'm afraid it wasn't the same risk for me as it will be for you

I actually got use to it pretty quickly but I did have a 4.7" phone for a good while so may I was just ready to jump up. It probably depends on if you are a strict one handed phone person as then it may be just to big.

The one thing I would say is that I'd say a lot of people are going to make the "wrong" choice, and I'd say there will be a lot of people looking to swap between screen sizes so I wouldn't be too worried

Well that's us decided. Just ordered two of these.

Spigen iPhone 6 Case Ultra Hybrid Crystal clear (AIR CUSHION) (PET) SGP10954 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JH88D1O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_s2Ceub09G87Q2

Can anyone help me decide.... I can either get a 64GB iPhone 6 or a 16GB iPhone 6 Plus. If only the plus had 32GB rather than 16GB. I don't think I'd be able to afford a 64GB 6 plus.
I guess I have to decide which is more important bigger battery or bigger storage.

I'd guess that 16GB storage will be a massive pain for you to deal with. I've checked my phone (HTC One), I don't store music (thanks Spotify) or videos on the phone but am still using in the region of 18-20 GB min. 32GB would be sweet spot, but there you go..

Snake Plisken · 11-09-2014 6:13pm

Extremely sneaky of Apple dropping the 32gb ank keeping the minuscule 16gb! I think I'll be going with the 6 this year.

Hopefully not. I currently have a Poetic Atmoshere and Spigen Slim Armour for my 5 and seemly the Ultra Hybrid is thinner than the slim armour.

Will know next week either way

rabbitinlights · 11-09-2014 6:52pm

The 64GB will be the same price as the 32GB in previous models, same as the 128GB and old 64GB.

Zcott · 11-09-2014 7:40pm

You're actually getting more for your money now in the higher end, which is worthwhile. Madness to drop the 16gb because it's apparently the most popular.
