So, with launch of the new Apple IPhone 6 and 6 Plus. It has come to my attention that the phones keep getting bigger and bigger. This does not make sense to me. I love Apple, and have all sorts of apple products including the IPhone 5. But I just can't bring myself to buy the new phone. 4.7 in and 5.5 in. These phones are huge. There is no reason for it. If you want a tablet get a tablet, you want a phone stick with a phone. I for one don't need a styles for my phone. I don't want to feel like I am holding a brick to my head. We got rid of the brick phone a long time ago.

Am I the only one that feels this way? Just curious on everyone else's thoughts.

You have to stop thinking of them as phones and instead think of them as hand held portable computers, which can communicate via mobile networks... because that is what they are. They stopped being phones when the flip phone when out of style... sometime around the first Motorola Razor

This. I just got the 6+, and it is awesome! I can read email, text, and look stuff up on the web much easier. The apps are more viewable, and I can read various documents. I have ceased carrying my iPad, because it no longer serves a purpose. (Oh, and your eyes get weaker as you age)

When I occasionally need to make or take a call, it does that too...

I have no desire to trot around with something that big that I need a man purse or BDU cargo pockets to carry it in.

WAIT. it just dawned on me!

Apple's coming out with, wait for it, iPants - complete with the iPocket for carrying these things, a built in, retractable charging cable in the out seam, and a wifi adapter in the zipper to fashionably redefine the wifi "hot spot". Nifty Apple logo on the back pockets to bring back the completely underrated 80's designer jean era.
