The mental battle: Buy an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 6 Plus

I was having lunch with a friend the other day and we were comparing phones. I have an iPhone 6, he an iPhone 6 Plus. We both agonized over the buying decision, worried about things like extra size vs pocket convenience. Bottom line, we went in opposite directions. I’m now rethinking that decision, considering moving to the iPhone 6 Plus.

My friend passed along the linked article, a blog post from Marco Arment detailing his thoughts on making that same move. If you are wrestling with this issue, either considering a move from one to the other or considering which upgrade path to take from a smaller phone or an Android device, Marco’s post is well worth the read.

As to me, I’m going to make the move. Just waiting for my wife to get sick of her iPhone 5 so we can play the trading game. New iPhone 6 Plus for me, my slightly used iPhone 6 for her.
