I've been using the iPhone 6 Plus as my primary phone for the last 60 days.
In my review, I called it a dream phone. Apple finally made the big-screen phone I had dying to buy for years.
But now that I've had a full two months with the 6 Plus, I have a few more thoughts on what it's like living with Apple's first phablet.
I never use my iPad mini anymore. In fact, I'm going to sell it.I bought an iPad mini with Retina display last year shortly after it launched. Many days, I used it more than my iPhone 5S. That extra screen space helped me get a lot more done.
But now that I have the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, I don't see a need for the iPad mini. Maybe it makes more sense to get a full-sized iPad now. But in the meantime, I'm going to sell my iPad mini because I never use it.
It's not too big for my pants pocket, but it is uncomfortable when I sit down.
One of my biggest fears about the iPhone 6 Plus was that it'd be too big to fit comfortably in my jeans. Luckily, it fits just fine.
But when I sit down with the 6 Plus in my pocket, it sort of jabs into my hip. It's very uncomfortable if I have to sit for long periods of time. I usually take the phone out and keep it on my desk now.
But it's likely too big for most people. You should probably consider buying the iPhone 6 instead.
Just because the iPhone 6 Plus is a good size for me, doesn't mean it'll be right for everyone. I'm a tall dude and have big hands to match, so I don't have a problem using such a large phone. If you have smaller hands, you're probably better off with the iPhone 6.
In fact, whenever someone asks, I suggest they try the iPhone 6 first. It's a more manageable size.
Battery life is incredible.
Back when I was using the iPhone 5S, I was lucky if I could make it to 3 p.m. without my phone screaming for a charge. It was especially annoying when I knew I'd be out and about without access to a charger. I almost always had to keep a Mophie charging case on my iPhone. Annoying.
The iPhone 6 Plus has incredible battery life. I always get at least a day and a half out of one charge. Plus, I'm never nervous about being caught outside with just a few percentage points of battery.
It does not bend.
My iPhone 6 Plus is straight as an arrow. I've had two friends complain that their iPhones have bent, however. Still, Apple says very few people have complained about it. And if you do have a bent phone, Apple will replace it.
