I can't upgrade (unless I want to pay) until August next year. So I'm stuck with my iPhone 4 for another 11 months!

You are going to love the 6 Plus. I love that I can look at things on my phone during the night if I need too and I don't have to find my glasses first. :-D

I love it. I don't think it's left my hands except when I sleep. It did take some getting used to, now when I see a 5, it looks like a iPod nano,
I haven't had problems with carrying it around. It fits in my jean pocket and I have a purse with a perfect outside slip pocket.
I've not held a 6 to compare. I'm sure the 6 would be perfect for some, however talking on the phone is about the last thing I do with mine, so I don't find the size too big at all. I must say that the first time I used it to call someone, I felt like I had a brick up to my ear!
Two thumbs up from this girl!

still waiting for mine. this is the 1st iphone I will own. I've been a loyal Samsung fan for many years. i'm still on the fence actually. I have covers for both the 6+ and the galaxy 5. I guess i'll make the final decision when I actually have the 6+ in my hand.

Take your time and read all the tips and tricks you find with google. You will love your iPhone, I promise!!!!! |

DH has always had an iphone and he is getting the 6+ for sure. hopefully, having him around should ease the learning curve. |

linda~lou My 6+ is ON THE WAY...two weeks early!! Anything I need to do to this old 4s? All contacts are backed up....anything else?? I CANNOT WAIT Yay! How exciting. Going from a 4s to a 6 + is like going from a Yugo to a Mercedes!!!!!! Most people feel backing up to the cloud is enough, I personally like to back up on my desktop on iTunes as well. So I suggest that you back up 4s to iTunes. When you get your phone, plug it in to iTunes on desktop and synch and sit back and wait! Have fun, let me know how you like it!!!!! There are SO many features on the 6 that were not on the 4, just learning iOS 8.1 will be a huge difference!!!! There is stuff I'm still finding in set up features. Lots of tip and tricks on line, plus if you have a Apple Store near you, you can always see if they have classes, they are so helpful! |

christine58 If you go to Amazon and do a search for iPhone 6 Plus cases, you will find quite a few. I ordered one today and it will be here tomorrow. I want an Otter Box, but still unable to get one of those. They briefly had just the black, but it was gone so fast, it was just a blur on the web. The one I ordered should offer some protection. We are going out of town soon and I wanted a more protective one. I will come back and post a link. Here is the one that I ordered
Dang it, I just looked and the black Otter Box is back in stock. it wasn't available when I place my order today. Black Otter Box

I'm a minimalist and since the phone is big enough as it is, I went for this Spigen case. I love It!!! Gives enough protection without being bulky. Spigen |

Try taking your phone closer to your router and see if it speeds up. You might also try turning off WIFi on your phone and then turn it back on.

When I first got mine and plugged it in to sync, it stopped about halfway and just stalled. I was scared but I hit stop button, hit eject and unplugged. Waited a few minutes, plugged back in and hit sync and bam it picked right up and completed sync in a few minutes. Sometimes it just gets bogged down. I was scarred to stop process before download complete but it wasn't doing anything so I just held my breath and hit stop and restarted and all was well.
Good luck!!! I'm sure it will be fine. But do you love it!!!?

Yeah it seems like it takes forever, especially when you just want to play with it. It's been awhile since your post. Everything ok??

LOL. I'm at work. Not sure why but apps install fast when I turn off wifi and turn it back on. Shouldn't have to do that. Headed to Verizon later to get a screen cover and am going to ask.
