meh, the IPad is better suited to reading and games, the 5 to calls and mobility stuff in general. I get that the 6 is in between, but I think it is too much compromise on both ends.

Many people at first think the phone is too large after some use they get very comfortable with it. One of my friends thought the iphone 6+ was large but now he likes it.

I find the iphone 5 screen too small personally, especially for reading off the web. Those are no longer cell-phones. They are PDAs

Gonna go gluten free for awhile and see what happens. Some of my family are new success stories and a lot of my weird on and off symptoms add up. I just kind of figured I'd give it a trial, why not? Picked up a lot of food today and a lot of it turned out to be pretty good so far.

Well good thing I got my sanyo crt when I did....apparently the goodwill's over here are no longer going to take the donations of the crt's anymore(they'll still take flat screens though) *sigh* wonder if one might happen to have a sony still or if they got rid of them for recycling after the Jan 1st deadline...

Going back to the iPhone discussion the battery life of the 6 plus is not all that improved from the 5 and 5s from what I've gathered. In terms of size the phone is huge and that is due to bezels all round the phone.

Personally I have the LG G3 and it has the same screen size of the 6 plus but a tiny bit bigger that the regular 6 (but the resolution is 1440p). The sleep button and volume controls are on the back which cut down the side and the home buttons are on the screen but disappear when watching media or playing certain games.

The 6 Plus really only has large bezel on the top and bottom.

It's also the only option for a large phone if you want iOS. At least the option is there now. I have zero desire to ever own another Android phone. I'd buy another Windows phone before that happened.

Is the normal 6 a better size? I'm still on the 4s, due for an upgrade for sure though. I have to rubber band the charger to stay in.
