I went from the 4 (I think I got it in 2012, before the 4S came out) to the 6. It doesn't feel too big to me, and after I learned where the power button was, it feels pretty good in my had. I have no idea how my dad lugs that monster around.

You've reminded me, I don't like the button placement either. Every time you go to turn the screen off you end up also accidentally pressing the volume buttons on the other side, and thus not turning the screen off (wife has the 6).

Indeed, Google itself seems to have recognized no one was getting' any

See, they should have advertised this, and suggested parents get them for their teenagers.

It's size, and the re-cock-u-lous amount of memory just to keep the apps you want to use in the computer didn't drive me away. The old battery with a useful life of 30 minutes didn't drive me away.

With the size, I have bought my last iPhone. If I want to carry something that big around, I carry my tablet.

It's not a good thing. I know this for a fact. Do not ask me how I know.

The 6 actually resolved the main problem I had with the 5: battery life. When I leave work I usually have over 60% left. My 5 would be dead by then.

I'm still rolling with my 4S, which annoys me with its battery sometimes (although I've also realized that sometimes it's a temperature issue instead), but it did not take me long to realize that it was an easy thing to plug it in while in my office.

It also removes the precision from his pocket, which is a problem.

The best place for your phone is the inside pocket of your suit or sport coat (or dinner jacket if it's after 6 pm).
