As I stood in line at my local AT&T store Friday morning,
preparing to plunk down $399 on Apple’s next big thing , a fear
crept into my thoughts: What if the iPhone 6 Plus is too big to
fit into my pants pocket? Am I going to have to start carrying a
purse?

This, of course, is not a novel problem. Half the smartphone-
buying population has been grappling with it stoically for
years, because the pockets on women’s clothing tend to be
Lilliputian. Only with the growing popularity of “phablets” like
the 6 Plus and the Samsung Galaxy Note, however, has the
pocket-or-purse dilemma begun to affect men. Predictably,
we’re freaking out.

As it turned out, however, I had no problem sliding the iPhone
6 Plus into the pockets of my Uniqlo chinos. One of my
colleagues, whose sartorial taste skews toward elfin hipster
jeans, had somewhat more difficulty when he tried my new
phone on for size. I'm guessing he'll opt for a smaller version.

Yet just as I began to rejoice that I hadn’t wasted my money on
a phone I couldn’t carry, a different drawback became
apparent: There’s no easy way to use the device with just one
hand.

Over the years, I’ve grown blithely accustomed to the notion
that operating a smartphone is a single-handed endeavor. Not
only can I comfortably cradle the iPhone 5 in my palm, but the
tips of my fingers have no trouble reaching the farthest corners
of the screen. I’ve even mastered the art of swatting home runs
one-handed on my favorite little time-wasting mobile game, 9
Innings Pro Baseball .

No more. Just typing in your passcode to unlock the 6 Plus
requires either a second hand or a feat of manual acrobatics.
Reaching the top buttons on the home screen—you know,
trivial things like “messages,” “photos,” and “camera”—is out of
the question, unless you’re Kawhi Leonard .

When Apple announced the 6 Plus, I noted that it had included
a feature that allows you to pull the top buttons halfway down
the screen by double-tapping the home button. I did not
anticipate that I would quickly come to rely on this feature for
almost everything I need to do on the phone.

Opening my Gmail app and composing a message used to
require just three actions:
1. Tap to open the app
2. Tap the “compose” button
3. Start typing
Now it requires the following finger dance:
1. Double-tap the home button to bring the Gmail app within
reach
2. Tap to open the app
3. Double-tap the home button to bring the compose button
within reach
4. Tap the “compose” button
5. Start typing

That might sound like a small difference. If you use your phone
a lot, it isn’t. It nearly doubles the amount of time it takes to
complete certain tasks. And while the double-tap feature makes
it relatively easy to reach the top of the screen, it remains a
struggle to reach the sides without dropping the device
altogether. Two of the people I to whom I briefly loaned the
phone managed to fumble it within the first 30 seconds.
The obvious solution is simply to use two hands at all times. I
get that. The 6 Plus works beautifully in landscape mode, and
its spacious screen shines when it comes to reading articles,
watching videos, or playing games. Its battery life, reputed to
be significantly longer than that of the iPhone 6, was a major
selling point for me. Like the Galaxy Note, this is a phone that
some people will love even as others mock and eschew it. I
have a feeling that my father, who happily sported a
bulky Handspring Treo at a time when everyone else was
buying Motorola Razrs, will be a fan.

Unlike the Galaxy Note, however (or the Treo, for that matter),
the 6 Plus doesn’t come with a stylus, and it wasn’t explicitly
marketed as a compromise between a phone and a tablet. No
Galaxy Note buyer should be surprised to find that her device is
ungainly. Apple addicts, on the other hand, may have been
lulled by the company’s marketing to believe that it would
never sell them a phone that didn’t feel Mama Bear’s–chair
perfect in their palms.

A device that requires two hands is a device that demands your
full attention. It’s not a device you can whip out of your pocket
and glance at quickly in between other tasks. It’s not a device
you can use to quickly scan your email while carrying a
grocery bag or hanging onto a subway pole. And perhaps that
was Apple’s intention all along: An awkwardly sized phone
might be just the incentive some people need to buy a $350
smartwatch.

I’m not ruling out the possibility that I’ll eventually grow
dexterous enough with the 6 Plus that its virtues begin to
overshadow its limitations. But at this point, I’m also not ruling
out the possibility that I’ll be back in line at that same AT&T
store within two weeks to exchange it for something more
manageable.

trivial but serious problems.

Why phone and women are the same,cos if you would have waited longer a better one would have come your way.

What is the essence of having a mobile phone if you can't handle it with one hand. 4,7" screen is enough for me, op return it before is too late

The only phablet .comfortable with the large screen size is the Note series!!
