    My brother had one and it bent within the first week of having it. Even with a case on it. He had to get a replacement phone and a much heavier duty case to protect it. He carried it in his front pocket and must have just leaned up against something causing it to bend. It's the normal 6 not the plus.

    This is my biggest concern, not super excited about the size. Mine will be arriving today, hope I don't regret getting it.

    I bought my wife and two daughters the 6's when they came out. No issues and they like them.

    Owned it for a day and gave it to my wife and went back to the 5. Main reason it to big and takes two hands to use. It's like a mini-mini iPad. Also edges are rounded and very smooth and very hard to hold. My next phone with just be the 5s.

    Damn... I was just about to upgrade from the 4s to the 6. Reading some of the comments it's making me second guess myself.

    I have one. It took a couple days to get accustomed to it but I like it. Very easy to use and it doesn't seem big at all after a few days. Now the 5 seems tiny.

    Guess I will see in a couple hours... I can always send it back and get a new 5, it just seemed silly to get the 5 when I could get the 6 for the same deal. Currently still rolling with the 4... it freezes alot and seems I have to reset it almost daily. PITA

    I went from the 4 to the 6 as well. My battery life is a lot bet than my 4. But I'm sure it's not a fair comparison because the 4 was several years old and of course I only seem to remember the end when the battery sucked.

    I have had mine since the beginning of the year and really like it. I went from the 5 to the 6 and have been real happy with it so far other then switching service providers which now sucks. I like the little bit bigger size since my eyes aren't the best it is a little easier to see. The size is just fine and even with a Otter case on it I have no problem keeping it in my back pocket. I have sat on it in my pocket a ton of times and have never had a problem or bent it

    All the tiny Iphone love cracks me up. Apple finally builds a phone to compete with all the other manufacturers screen size and now it's too big. Good stuff.

    I have the 6 and love it. Personally, I love the bigger screen. I have no complaints about it.

    I had the iPhone 4 for a long time before my gf drowned it on the coffee table. I got the 5s, and I really like it because it's squared sides are easier for my large hands to hold.
