Q: iPhone 6 plus Hand pain after use
Has anyone else experienced hand pain after using the iPhone 6 Plus?
My husband and I both got new phones this month and I had the 4S while he had the 5 prior to now having these monster 6 Pluses. We both have experienced hand pain recently, we both think it's from the new phones. My wrists ache sometimes and my fingers will sometimes go numb after using the phone. I usually hold it with both hands and use my thumbs to text, if I'm playing a game I'll hold the phone with one hand and use the other to tap the screen. If I use my phone on my desk (not holding it, just having it in front of me, taping it with my fingers) I don't experience hand pain. I'm curious to see if anyone else out there has the same issues.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.3

When I first went from my iPhone 5 to my iPhone 6 (not the Plus) I experienced some hand fatigue by holding the larger device. However, it's now been 4 months and I don't even notice it anymore. It sounds like you may be experiencing a similar thing. Over time your hands may get used to the iPhone 6 Plus. If you are still within the return policy you may be able to switch to the iPhone 6 if you wanted to try it.
