“I picked up an iPhone 6 Plus from my local Apple Store this morning,” Martin Bryant writes for The Next Web. “Like most people, I hadn’t seen it ‘in the flesh’ before I reserved it (let alone before I paid for it) but I thought it was notable enough a device to spend some quality time with over the next year, seeing how Apple and its ecosystem of developers adapt to the phablet form factor.”
“I thought it was worth sharing the intial thoughts when I opened the box, set the phone up and started to use it. If you’re an iPhone owner wary about upgrading to the 6 Plus, read on,” Bryant writes. “For all the people talking about how ‘enormous’ the 6 Plus is, it’s really not that big.”
“I can even type one-handed and in initial tests, it actually feels just as comfortable to do so as on the iPhone 5s with its much narrower display. In fact, as I don’t have to bend my thumb as much, it’s maybe a little more comfortable,” Bryant writes. “I don’t think people with small hands… will be quite so happy, but I can’t see the 6 Plus forcing me to change my routines at all.”
