On the plus side, perhaps for folks who use Braille screen input, the larger screen real estate you have to work with might make typing easier. On the other hand, are folks finding the phones easy to carry when out and about? Do they fit comfortably in your pockets? I use my iPhone 5S on my commutes and often I don’t even need to take it out of my pocket to use the touch screen. I have a transit widget that I check to monitor bus departure times, and I use apps like BlindSquare and Google Maps as well. And of course, I can listen to music or audiobooks while commuting, too. If I couldn’t carry the phone in my pocket and had to carry it in a backpack or briefcase, that would be quite a bit less convenient for me. How do you folks feel about this—for those who’ve used the larger phones for a year now, do you eventually adjust to the larger screen size?

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
OIS seems to mostly help with stabilizing video, from what I've read. Holding still for a shot with an OCR app, you probably won't notice it as much. To say that Apple could include OIS in their smaller devices but chooses not to seems groundless. We don't know if they could or not, because we don't know how the cameras work. What if the Plus is the only device to offer the necessary room? What if there are other technical reasons they couldn't do it last year or this year? Apple is always close-mouthed about technical challenges, so no one has a clue what the story is. Could this be just another way to drive sales toward the larger (and more expensive) phone? Certainly, and I'm not saying it couldn't be. However, there's also no reason to say that this is absolutely the case. Other than that, what do you lose by going for the 6S over the Plus? More battery life, which is simply a consequence of not being able to cram as much battery into a smaller phone. No landscape mode for apps like Safari or Mail, which is a design decision--the smaller screen just couldn't show apps in the special landscape mode with enough room to let you operate them effectively. Remember that Apple is all about esthetics, and a bad user experience isn't worth it to them, so they will carefully evaluate things and only bring features that look good on big screens to smaller screens when they know they can do it well. Finally, you lose the extra room for app screens or braille input, which is, again, a consequence of a smaller screen. Aside from OIS, both models are the same in all but screen/battery. The same camera, amount of ram, Touch ID sensor, flash, button placement, processor/coprocessor, wireless abilities, ports, NFC chip, and so on. I guess I'm not seeing the big deal; if you don't want the Plus, the smaller iPhone 6 or 6S is still the same device, just smaller and lacking OIS. It's also $100 less. > On Sep 28, 2015, at 13:16, Regina Alvarado wrote: > > > Were you able to feel the bubbles? Interesting. I wonder why as it fits over > the glass of the phone.

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
I bought it in the Sprint store. It is wonderful. I would say Amazon or other places have them, though. No more stuck fingers. In fact, I find myself tapping even lighter on the screen. Do not know why this is so, however. It just happened. It cost about 40 dollars so it is more expensive, but I will always have one.

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
Optical image stabilization isn't the only thing you get for that extra hundred dollars for the 6S plus. I don't know how it is accomplished. It is possible that they need the larger size to make it happen. I don't know how big the Samsung phones are either. But I do know that for me as a blind person, optical image stabilization is not necessary or useful.

My carrier store does not have glass screen protectors. That is T-Mobile. I got one for my 5S2 years ago from the Verizon store. I have seen one online made by anger, and sold from Amazon via anchor direct. I am debating whether or not I want to get another one.

Whether you need optical image stabilization is dependent on whether you use the camera to take pictures. If you do, it may help.

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
Anders, I agree with you about phone size. I really would like to have something the same size as the 5S. The fourss, or the iPod touch, which is the same dimensions I think as far as width and height are concerned, are OK too. But I wish they would do something for those of us with smaller hands. Oh well. There was a rumor that said they were going to come out with a new one that was the same size as the 5S. But so far, as you know that has not happened. Plus, if they do, it probably won't have all of the same features as the larger phones.

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
Hi! Well, i might say something stupid now but this is my own personal preference so don’t be angry. To me i really whish that if the iphone could be as small as the ipod touch then i’d be as happy as can be. Ofcourse this will make braille writing nearly impossible but i never use that so i don’t care much about it. We don’t have grade 2 in swedish anymore and we don’t learn it for english either so thats one of the reasons i don’t use braille keyboards. /A > 27 sep. 2015 kl. 14:03 skrev Kawal Gucukoglu : > > I like the plus size as Alex says if he needs to use the braille keyboard > then there is more room to spread your fingers.

Re: size of the Plus (was: Improved speaker on iPhone 6s)
I like the plus size as Alex says if he needs to use the braille keyboard then there is more room to spread your fingers. Partially sighted people say to me that they can read the screen better. As I have no sight, I can't say yes or no. I got tired of the 5S as the design hadn't really changed and I had started with the 4 so was looking for something different. No doubt Apple will not be changing the design of their phones as I don't know what they can do to change them. Kawal.
