Having used both for a short period of time, I prefer the 6 Plus' screen size, resolution and optical image stabilization.

Hi, I am currently looking to upgrade my phone and I was wondering which phone was better out of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

If you don't have big hands, you should probably just get the 6.  the 6 plus is too big in my opinion (but i have small hands, for some people it might be good).

 

if you aren't worrying about the size, the 6 has optical image stabilization and a bigger 1080p display.  other than that, they are the same

It's all about dat size 'bout dat size, nothing else!

As far as i know it's not much else but the size?

 

As TheSLSAMG said, resolution is higher on the plus, and the plus has OIS.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Personally I would get the iPhone 6. The plus is just meh.. The whole bend gate thing turns me off, and you might as well just get a Samsung Note.

The whole bend gate was a load of bull shite, any phone will bend given sufficient torque.

my s4 I can bend holding in one hand, and push with just my thumb. its that easy and guess where it bends the most? right at the volume rocker. 

 

The only thing I really cant bend is the old ipod touches. i have a second gen and I cant get it to flex AT ALL.

 

OP, go Iphone 6 if you can easily use it. the added battery life is amazing

True, true, but I tend to put phones in my back pocket (as many do) and since summer of 2013, my S4 is still straight as a nail. I have friends who one the 6+, and theirs are all slightly bent, not bad, but still. Not bashing on the iPhone 6, just think they could have used better metals for such a thin phone.

6+ gets some software benefits and features that are not included in the 6. I know 1080p screen and Image stabalization are the first that come to mind, but I know there's more. You also have to be comfortable with the 6+ size. I was flabbergasted when I saw that it was slightly larger than my Note 3.

Besides a larger size, the considerably larger battery in the 6+ and OIS, there's very little difference between the two. Personally I would take the 6, as I prefer the size of it (6+ is almost as big as the nexus 6) but it's preference for the little extras really.

I couldn't like my 6+ anymore than I do... If you like iOS and like big phones it's an amazing iPhone.

Hi, I am currently looking to upgrade my phone and I was wondering which phone was better out of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

 

the iPhone 6+ is technically better, better battery life, screen and OIS

 

however I went for the 6 because I found the 6+ too big to hold, its seriously massive, and I dont have big hands so I found t horrible to use

If I had to choose, I'd pick the 6+ 11 out of 10 times.

 

I'm more than happy with my OnePlus One, though, and I'd never buy an iPhone. If I had to upgrade, it'd be the Nexus 6.
