I printed out mockups for the 6 and 6+ to get a feel for them before they came out. Tested them with pockets etc... I'm fat so they actually do fit in my pants pocket (the plus by a hair).

My pants usually press against my leg when I am sitting, and I am almost certain this pressure would, over time and repetition, bend the phone. Possibly not the 6, but I'm sure it would with the plus.

I do like the larger screen though. Colbert had a joke where he was going to have a large pocket sewn into his suit jacket to carry his ipad around, and I actually considered having a phone pocket added to my jeans. But I think I'll stick with my 5 for a while longer and if needed upgrade to the 5s at some point.



Colbert might have been joking, but I've seen clothing tags advertise "Interior pocket fits iPad Mini."
