The iPhone 6 Plus is a flat-out amazing phone.

I've had it for just over a week and am completely smitten with it.

If you're in the market for a new smartphone, it should be at the top of your list.

The last time I wrote about the 6 Plus, I had just bought it. At the time, I was thinking about returning it.

After about 12 hours with the phone I was feeling apprehensive. It has a 5.5-inch screen, which is massive compared with the 4-inch screen on the iPhone 5S I was using.

Remember, when you're talking about the size of a phone's screen, the measurement is done diagonally. A 5.5-inch phone is much, much bigger than a 4-inch phone. The entire iPhone 5S fits inside just the screen of the iPhone 6 Plus.

The difference between the two phones is jarring at first. The 6 Plus felt massive in my hand. One-handed use seemed impossible, unless I managed to pop my thumb out of its joint to reach across the screen.

It took about three to four days to get used to the size of the screen. Now that I am used to it, there's no way I can go back.

I picked up my iPhone 5S two days ago (after six days with the 6 Plus), and I was astounded at how tiny the phone felt. The text was hard to read, and the screen barely showed me anything. I felt like I was hurting my eyes just looking at it. How did I ever live like that? What a dark era.

The iPhone 5S feels as if it should be a niche model. It should be rebranded as the iPhone Nano. A thin, small phone for a select group of people who want some sort of novelty gadget.

The iPhone 6 Plus is the perfect phone for me. And I think it's the perfect phone for a lot of people. You could go with the iPhone 6, which is a nice phone with a slightly bigger screen, but the 6 Plus doesn't feel overwhelming. So, why not go big?

Business Insider, after dark. Business Insider f you've ever bought a new TV, you may have heard the following phrase: Nobody ever regrets buying too big of a TV. When I first had the 6 Plus, I thought to myself, that phrase doesn't work for smartphones. Now, after eight days with the phone, I think it might work for smartphones, too. The bigger screen is better.

Oh! You're maybe wondering about the iPhone 6 Plus bending. It hasn't. I doubt it ever will. But if it does, I'll let you know.
