    What do you have right now? I'd go to any mobile store and play with the Note 3 and the LG G3 and see if that screen size is comfortable for you.

    I have the Iphone 5. My worry about the bigger size is that it's easier to steal as it is visible to potential thieves and that its so big that it might fall out of my pocket. I also might have tight pants that it might bulge out too much.

    I think your concerns are just an outlier.

    It's size sort of makes it harder to steal because you'll always feel when it's there. It almost feels like there's a void when it's not there. I would be more concerned about dead pixels/easy to crack the screen in your pants because of the increased size over the theft issue.

    Unless you're wearing skinny jeans I don't see how the iphone 6 Plus's dimensions are so big that it will fall out of your pocket.

    I can't speak about theft but it's just like anything else: if the thieves want it bad enough they will get it.

    To plus or not to plus, that is the question.

    I think smart watches are missing the boat on what made smartphones special. In addition to making calls a smartphone makes many devices unnecessary including watches. It solves a problem and can actually save you money if you utilize all of its functions.

    This may take off like tablets did but I just don't see the application.

    Ditto though I don't think it's as prominent as we think it is. Of course I'm sure Apple is thinking "well most people slap a case on their iPhone anyways" so it's not too much of a nuisance though if you're a brave soul that leaves your phone nude then, yea, I can see potential problems.

    The 128 gb plus the larger screen and longer battery life are the perks of it to me. I hate watching video on my 4" screen.

    I bought a Lightning-to-HDMI adapter to watch video I recorded with my 4s and then my 5S on my big screen. It looks great. :eek:

    Good point. I have a Tech21 bumper on my 5 and if it doesn't come as far out as the case, I'm fine with it.
