I bit the bullet and upgraded my iPhone 5! I have a had a major crack in the screen and the actual phone since this summer, but didn’t know if I wanted/needed a 6 (or the plus). A combination of things (including jealousy over my friends’ phones!) contributed to my change of mind. Then it was a matter of deciding between the 6 or 6 Plus. I did a lot of research online as well as asking around and finally decided on the 6 Plus.
It’s really big, but I kind of love the size. I had been finding myself doing a lot of reading, photo editing, and even email writing lately. All of these things are typically things I’d do on my computer, but with all my travel my phone became an easier and more convenient option. I just wished it was bigger! Hence, my inclination towards the plus. And a lot of people confirmed this for me as well.
(The only time it feels big is if I hold it to my ear to talk on the phone. However, I make most of my calls with my headphones so it’s not a huge issue for me.)
So far, so good.
The only “problem” I have come across is that there aren’t nearly as many cases to choose from. They’re either backordered, on preorder, or completely sold out! I knew I wanted a case, mostly for protection, but… I mean, I want it to be cute, too!
As a side note, I’d love to know what your favorite photo editing apps are! I primarily use Snapseed and VSCO, but I’m curious if there are any crowd favorites out there…

I am so jealous of your new purchase! I now understand what your tweet from last night was about 🙂 My absolute favorite photo editing app is Afterlight because it allows for the most variation I think: contrast, saturation, brightness, etc. It also has tons of filters and lighting effects. Hands down my favorite. I would love for you to do an updated whats on my iPhone post to see how you are using your 6+ and some of your favorite apps in general!

Adobe's Lightroom app if you have the subscription cannot be beat. Luminance and Afterlight are great and less expensive options.
I had the same problem when I upgraded to my iPhone 6 – there just aren't as many cases available! But I ended up going with the Vineyard Vines one from my post (iPhone 6 Phone Cases) Good luck with your search!
And thank you for starting the conversation about photo editing – I'm always wondering the same thing.

I have iphone 6 plus too and I can say that I love it! It's totally another life with this new phone, especially for me that most of my work is done through the phone

I ran into the same problem when I first got my 6 Plus! At first, it takes a while to get use to our new mini tablet but once getting it there is no going back! I definitely will be ordering more cases!

I came across the same problem when I got my iPhone 6! I decided on the "Violet Floral" case from Rifle Paper Co. and I love it! https://riflepaperco.com/shop/phone-cases/
I LOVE the A Beautiful Mess app. I typically just use it for Instagram uploads, but I like using it in addition to the VSCO app.
Do you find any problems fitting your phone into your pocket? I feel like I'm constantly struggling with this, and I just have an iPhone 6! I can't imagine what the 6 Plus must be like.

I love the Pic Tap Go app! A photographer friend recommended it and I love all the filter options. Plus it is easy to use.
Love all the apps, I use VSCO cam, I have the iphone 6 I feel like the iphone 6+ might be too big for me:)

I'm so disappointed with the lack of iPhone 6 cases out! I have a sparkly one from CaseMate and it's cute, but so not protective. Love the ones you picked!

I still really like the case you made with Minnie and Emma! It is so perfect!

I've had the Galaxy Note since they released them and it felt so awkwardly large when I would hold it up to my ear! You definitely get accustomed to it, though. I'm addicted to the large screen size and can't imagine downsizing now!
I love all your option! Except eat cake for breakfast. I love Kate Spade but I do not need any subliminal message telling me to eat more sugar. I eat enough as it is! haha

I am pretty much in the same exact boat. My Iphone 5s has a crack which would be 200USD to fix orrrr I can just upgrade – but I LOVE my Kate Spade pearl case and they don't have it in stock anymore! SO sad. Love the gold mirror though!
Warm Regards,

Was hoping your tweet last night was about something slightly different…but congrats on the upgrade! I've been using VSCO for quite a while now, and it's currently the only photo app I have on my phone.

Yess! I've had the same problem – but these cases are super cute and I feel ready to make the switch now!

I like Squareready for making my photos either square or rectangular, as well as BeFunky and PicFrame. BeFunky is just a standard editing app and PicFrame is pretty obvious!
afterlight! my fave app by far!!
I love the Kate Spade cover! So cute!

My favorite photo editing app is PicTapGo! It is super simple to use and has so many options available for layering filters!
I'm a fan of VSCO and WhitaGram.
This Madewell case is lovely – and can be monogrammed (and is on sale)! https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/ACCESSORIES/techsupport/PRD~C4584/C4584.jsp?N=21&Nbrd=M&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Nsrt=3&isSaleItem=false&color_name=ENGLISH%20SADDLE&isFromSale=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row10
