    I have a Samsung Galaxy Mega (6.3") which is even bigger than the iPhone 6+, but it's still not a good replacement for an iPad mini.

    Games are fine, but reading emails and especially ebooks are difficult on a phablet. Plus, texting is quite hard on a big phone, not to mention the hassle of putting it in your pocket.

    I still prefer to use my iPad mini for web browsing, reading, and email. The iPhone 5/5s has a smallish screen for me nowadays, while the 6+ is too big, so the iPhone 6 is the best size for me. Will definitely upgrade to a bigger screen once I renew my plan.

    i dont think texting is quite hard on phablets.... there are aftermarket apps that enlarges the keyboard. i use fleksy app from the google play.... laking aluwan.

    however, it may be hard on iPhones though.... hindi ata ma bago ang keyboard layout nila eh.
    for playing games, mahirap dyan, maski iPAD..... sa PC or laptop lang dapat... dibale kung mga simple games lang...

    1. I still need my Globe number while roaming, so my main iPhone 5S is irreplaceable at the moment.
    2. If ever I'll get an iPhone 6+, I won't be putting it in my pocket. It will be in my man purse, just like my iPhone 5, which is always in my bag.
    3. I will need an iPhone when travelling, that's why I use 2 iPhones.
    4. I don't text too much using my 2nd line. So the size of the 6+ is not much of a problem. The question should be how will it's size be compared to an iPad mini.

    If my iPhone 5 will be qualified for free battery replacement, then I won't need to get a 6+ for now.

    If it is not qualified, then we go back to my question. Is it a sacrifice to replace 2 of my devices to a 6+?

    2 devices vs 1 device.
    Heavy vs light.
    2 chargers vs 1 charger.
    Big screen vs smaller screen.
