“Choice is usually a good thing,” Adrian Kingsley-Hughes writes for ZDNet. “I like having the option to get more storage, a faster processor, or to max out the RAM. I usually love that, but I find being faced with having to choose between the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus is causing me to have last-minute jitters as to which handset I pull the trigger on.”
“I’ve no intention of queuing up for the iPhone 6 – I have far better things to do with my time – but I’m still keen to pull the trigger on a preorder as soon as they hit the online Apple Store,” Kingsley-Hughes writes. “Instinctively I want to go for the iPhone 6 Plus, not just because of the larger screen, but also because of the better battery life and the optical image stabilization.”
“I’m worried that the thing is going to feel more like the Nexus 7 or the iPad mini than an iPhone,” Kingsley-Hughes writes. “Now I could hold off and get some hands-on time with the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in a store, but I know even will be artificial and hardly ‘real world.’ A few minutes at an Apple Store with a product isn’t really going to cut it.”

Oh my. The third world problems we face (yes, me included). So…. guys will go for the larger one because of P—- envy.
I guess the girls will choose the larger one also. After all, wouldn’t they rather have 5.5″ instead of 4.7″ in their hand?
But what color?
I can imagine women having less of an issue with the size of the 6+ than men, simply because so many women carry their phone in a purse. I made plywood models of both iPhone 6’s to test in hand and pocket. If I get the 6+ I’ll need to switch from rear to front pocket carry. It is about 1.5″ longer than my 4S, but the specs are so very tempting that I’m trying to get comfy with the big size.
BTW, today’s Joy of Tech comic is apropos, and hilarious.
