    Yeah, I really being able to reach everywhere on the phone with one hand. If I want a larger screen I'll just trap the iPad, which I don't much.

    For those that have the 6... What kind of case do you have on it?

    I've had my 4s for 3+ years and have never had a case on it... I've dropped it many times and have had 0 cracks. I feel I'm one of the few to have one built like a tank. If I upgrade to the 6 I would like to get a case that isn't too bulky and can withstand a fall, etc.

    I go back and forth between case and no case, really like the Griffin Tech Survivor case I have had on my 4 for the last year. I have dropped that thing COUNTLESS times without issue. Haven't had a case on it for several weeks now and have dropped it a few times. Couple scratches but not bad lol I will likely get the same style case for the 6.

    I've had my 6 since they first came out and have zero complaints. I can easily get a full day of battery life out of it even with moderate to heavy use with checking email, surfing web, streaming music, etc. If I go easy on usage I've squeezed 2 full days before I had to recharge.

    I'm pretty darn hard on my phone and haven't had any issues with it bending. From what I understand that's really only a problem on the 6 plus, and only if you're a moron and sit on your phone. I have a pretty thin Speck 2 piece case that's held up great so far.

    As for the size, I love it. Any time I have to use someone else's 5 or 4 I wonder how I ever survived with the smaller screen. I think the 6 is just about perfect. I find myself using the iPad a lot less these days because the larger screen allows me to do a lot more. It seems big at first but after a few days you'll wonder how you did without it.

    My iphone 6 is great the battery lasts about two days even under heavy use. If you switch to airplane mode you can recharge in just a few hours.
    I'm trying out a few new hunting apps like AntlerInsanty, Huntstand, & HuntPredictor. I'm not sure which one I'll settle with, I didn't get much time in the field this season.
    If you are afraid of dropping it while hunting, like out of the tree stand, try one of these.

    I also put one of these InvisibleShield Glass Screen Protectors on mine, no scratches yet.

    The 6 was a huge improvement over the 5 for me. The bigger size, better sound, battery life, what's not to like?

    I just upgraded from the 4 to the regular 6 and I like it so far after about 8 days or so of use. Battery life is decent but I'm a moderate user at best. No music, video, and or streaming.

    I have had a 4s and now 5c and to be honest I would not spend money on another one. They gave me the 5c for free and 200 bucks for my 4s or else I wouldn't have gotten this one. Apple isn't putting out anything new except bigger which I personally am not a fan of. The specs that they bragged about with the 6 were in samsungs phones two years ago

    For the guys that say it's too big, did you know about the "reach" feature where you double TAP the home key and it drops everything down lower to within reach of your 1 thumb so it doesn't need to hands to operate ?

    Yeah I went to get a new phone was going to get the 5S but once I looked at the 6 I went with it, the little bigger size helps old eyes.

    I like my iPhone 6 for the most part. I just wish it wasn't as big, I liked the size of my 4S more. The 6 is a little harder to get into my pocket when I'm sitting down or in an awkward position at work. Other than that, it's all good
