“There’s no doubt about the fact that many people love the iPhone 6 Plus. Since it’s release it’s become one of Apple’s hottest products ever,” Jim Lynch writes for CIO. “But as popular as the iPhone 6 Plus is, it might not be the right smartphone for everybody. Some users just can’t adjust to a phablet when coming from smaller phones.”

“One of the biggest problem for some users is that they approach phablets like the iPhone 6 Plus with the same mentality and usage habits that they had with their smaller phone,” Lynch writes. “And it just doesn’t work most of the time because phablets require certain adjustments by the user for successful use.”


“I suspect that some of the folks who dumped the iPhone 6 Plus just couldn’t adjust to using it in a way that is different from smaller phones. That’s very unfortunate since the iPhone 6 Plus has some real advantages over smaller phones,” Lynch writes. “Overall, my experience with the iPhone 6 Plus has been terrific. I don’t even use a case for it any more, I prefer toting it around without one (and no it has never been bent or otherwise damaged). It has literally become my little mobile computer, and I can do almost everything on it in a way that I couldn’t with a smaller phone. So I’m very glad I made the jump to the iPhone 6 Plus.”

MacDailyNews Take: If you’re going to try to jam iPhone 6 Plus into your front jeans pocket like you did with iPhone 5 and earlier, you’re not going to like iPhone 6 Plus. iPhone 6 Plus is a different animal and must be approached as such. After having iPhone 6 Plus units for nearly 8 months now, we wouldn’t settle for any other iPhone.
