I recently acquired the iPhone 6 Plus.  I think it is a wonderful phone, bridging the gap between the iPhone and the iPad and what it clearly illustrates is that bigger is better when it comes to phones.  One cannot underestimate the value of a bigger screen and a bigger keyboard, not only when your eyesight is fading, but particularly when you spend most of your day, when you are not at the office, checking up on e-mails, etc.  I don’t think that phones could go much bigger than it, because it does not fit that easily into your hand to make calls, if you are making continuous calls on your phone.  The size for some reason does make you feel you could drop it more easily and that is a worry.  On the other hand, I don’t find that my phone is continuously in my hand.  If I am driving, it is attached to a car kit, and generally it is face down on my desk with the phone switched to silent so it does not disturb me when I am working on something that requires my full attention.  

The extra size of the iPhone Plus then does not affect me as it might for example a young guy in a nightclub who may not find it so practical to have to pull it in and out of his pocket the entire night, as most people these days do.  In fact, most people these days spend their entire night at a venue looking at their phone and seldom looking up or participating in anything else!  I think it is a wonderful product and will probably sway me away from my iPhone 6, and lead to me keeping the larger version.  The iPhone 6 Plus has one other huge advantage over the iPhone 6 and that is in its battery size – which is much bigger and lets its battery last far longer than the iPhone 6, especially if you use a lot of applications and spend a lot of your time on the e-mails, which I do. For that reason I have to make the iPhone 6 Plus my device of the year.
