Living with the iPhone 6 Plus! #Helpful Post

the iPhone 6 plus is arguably Apple's

biggest debut to date but what the

release came a little controversy and

some questions of how it would hold up

over time so I'm here to share with you

my experience of living with the iPhone

6 plus

so what's up guys Jonathan here with TLD

hope you guys are doing well it's good

to be back I think it's safe to say that

I've been using the iPhone 6 plus for

quite some time now it actually dates

all the way back to October 9th 2014 so

you fast forward 4 months and here we

are now I'm mistakingly and undeniably

the biggest factor revolving around the

6 plus is of course the size you cannot

ignore it it is a big-ass phone and for

the first 30 days I used it without a

case now you combine that giant ass

form-factor and the fact that it is

slippery as all hell that equals drop

city but for the amount of hell that I

put it through it's actually held up

surprisingly well so I was washing

dishes I get a call and rather than wait

table was done my dumb ass decided to

answer the call and splash there goes

the iPhone six-plus needless to say I

was not happy but an f-bomb here an

f-bomb there

after drying off the iPhone six-plus

surprisingly it worked a hundred percent

now I'm not saying to go throw your

six-plus in a pool but it was relieving

to know that it did survive that now

even after that close call I've lost

count of how many times that I've

dropped the thing and if you look

closely there are pretty much a battle

scar or battle scars on every single

corner of the phone but considering the

amount of torture that I put it through

I think it's held up fairly well

point-blank though it is a big phone and

if we're solely talking about form

factor I would choose the six over the

six plus any day of the week but there

are two very awesome things that have

kept me on the six plus and that is the

screen size and battery life the display

is 1080p and yes I know there are higher

resolution screens out there but I'm

talking about the big picture and

overall package here I really don't ever

use my iPad Mini anymore because of the

six plus and it's become my go-to device

for reading and catching up on YouTube

videos super enjoyable typing on the 6

plus is solid because of that added

screen real estate and I've been using

SwiftKey which for the most part is

awesome but it can definitely be a

little buggy and just sometimes straight

out not show up sometimes which is

extremely annoying because I'll have to

close and then reopen the app and that's

something that I've never had to deal

with using SwiftKey on android landscape

mode is something you don't get on the 6

but honestly I didn't find myself using

it as much as I thought I would

have absolutely no idea why the screen

can rotate literally 360 degrees

sometimes it'll actually glitch out and

get stuck upside down which to me is

unacceptable

shame on you Tim Cook jumping back to

the battery though it's not

game-changing or revolutionary but

compared to any iPhone that I've ever

used it smashes all of them all day is

no problem for me with a 6 plus and I'll

even fall asleep without charging it and

then have some juice to spare aim to the

next morning so for traveling especially

on a plane I loved having the six plus

with me and a battery life is important

to you I think it's something you should

heavily consider so obviously both the

display and battery those are on point

but I think my next favorite feature

after those two is hands down the camera

hands down it is one of the best on the

smartphone market you combine that with

solid video and awesome slow-mo it is a

killer package if you're big into

Instagram the 6 plus is killer I'd say

95% of my shots have been using the 6

plus lately and I'll have a link to my

Instagram as well as my new food project

nom City down below which is a sweet way

to follow my diet for those that have

been asking so after those initial 30

days and many drops and battle scars

later I decided to explore the case

route and I'll actually post a link to a

few my favorites down below just in case

you missed that video but the simple

answer is add in a case helps with grip

and for me significantly reduce the

amount of times that I dropped it now

regardless of reducing drops or adding

grip to the 6 plus I cannot deny I still

really enjoy the minimalist element of

not rocking a case on the phone so

recently I decided to throw a skin on

there which as you can see is pretty

dope I posted a teaser on Instagram last

week and a ton of you were asking what

it was so this particular skin is part

of slick wraps wood series for six plus

they do also have a few different series

and styles have a link to this one and

all the other options posted down below

for those who are interested but thus

far the skin has been a nice medium

between a naked phone and a case

obviously it's not going to be as much

protection as a case but the grip has

helped me drop it less so I'm happy with

this route right now so overall though 4

months later what do I think of the

iPhone 6 plus it is not a perfect phone

by any means but it does offer a lot of

good touch ID works great and is really

just becomes second nature Apple pay

while it's super limited I love and

cannot wait for more retailers to take

advantage of this because it is super

convenient reach ability is a nice idea

and it helps but ultimately doesn't fix

the awkward size of the six plus I have

average-sized hands and 100% one-handed

use really isn't possible for me with

the six plus especially for typing and

messaging if you're like Mike and you

can palm a bball in your sleep then it's

probably not going to be an issue for

you but I think for most people out

there the six plus in terms of form

factor isn't ideal again I wish the

iPhone six had better battery life

because for me that is the perfect size

but it'll just have to come down to

whether the awesome screen and stellar

battery life on the 6 plus is enough to

push you in that direction
