iPhone 6 for me. I take it the 6 plus doesn't exist lol...

Coming from a pure iPhone user... Jumping to the 5.5 would probably have some regret later... Especially since got a mini for larger screen use...

5.5 is for the Samsung note user market. And these people are all about the specs.

Also the 6+ is $150 more expensive leh.
The screen resolution and OIS is negligible, but the battery on 6+ looks really good.

Furthermore, I'm using my 5S 2H most of the time right now, when texting etc. That's what's leaning me more towards the 6+ due to the screen size and more 2H usability.

Using a Note 3 now I do find the larger screen great but the phone is a bit difficult to put in and remove from my pocket. I don't mind the 4.7" phone HOWEVER considering the battery is smaller, no OIS, etc I am not keen.

If both phones have same specs except one is 4.7 and the other 5.5, I would not mind the 4.7. But as things stand, I'd get the 5.5.

Bro, have you ever regret going for the note3?
Anw, you normally put in back or front pocket?

The small battery very turn off leh. 4.7 has only half of 5.5's battery life. And according to Apple's tech website, the 4.7inch has more or less same battery as the current 5S. And my current 5S battery really cmi, can't even last me through half a day of usage, thus pointing me towards the 5.5

Physical size is the main different, 5.5 have larger space able to house higher capacity battery, but 4.7 have less capacity, it is a trade off, apple or android have to work on other area to optimize the battery usage or wait till advancement in battery technonogy...

It's only about 1/2 cm wider than Xiaomi's Redmi with a case on, and Samsung's S4 too. I wear skinny jeans and it's possible, albeit a tight fit for the redmi, because the xiaomi is quite thick (fit with S4 is easy to slide in and out). So should be can.

ok. I meant is it easy to put a big phone 5.5 in pocket and remove them. I know some may find it difficult to take and remove away.

Dude, it's slim. As long as you don't put a big bulky case on it and your jeans pockets aren't smaller than 8cm width wise, I don't see how difficult it can be to take out and put in since it will protrude a little from the pocket.

Based on my experience with Note, the only uncomfortable part when the phone is in my pocket is, when I bent down to tie my shoelaces. Also, holding the phone on landscape with one hand feels wobbly and you end up gripping it tighter which results in tired palm muscles.

I will go for 4.7" iPhone 6. But my wife will take the 5.5". I am surprise that 6 out of 10 want 5.5". How about the storage size, 16, 64 or 128 GB? I will take 64GB white version.

Plan to get the 4.7 in the first place....after so much "poisoning" had decided to get the plus! "Just the matter of time getting use to it" :s13::s13:

When u wan to sell ur 128gb one day.. u will appreciate that its still so valued and ppl waiting to gobble up ur set in min...

I think trade in prices for iPhone doesn't differ much between capacity.
