iPhone 6 plus Hand pain after use

An update:

I tried to exchange my 6s for the cheaper SE and it turns out I'd actually have to fork out money--more if I did the trade at the Apple or AT&T stores, so I decided to sell it online and buy the SE outright. My 6s glass screen protector was chipped so I bought a plastic one like I'd always used before and, very strangely, the phone immediately became less painful to use. It wasn't completely pain free, but the sharp, intense tingling pain was gone. Now I'm wondering what the heck is in those glass screen protectors!? Probably kryptonite.😉

Jilla1 are you serious about the screen protector? I have s zagg invisishield glass and my hands hurt like crazy. I'm at my wits end with th 6s plus!

Totally serious. I'm using the 6s right now. Have the Tech Armor shield. The pain is gone. What's left is stiffness in my left hand which I assume comes from the larger size, but it's just an ache, not unbearable pain. If I were you, I'd get rid of that glass shield. I may still downsize to an SE if this ache keeps up.

I cracked my glass protector and just happened to Have a new one coming this week. i think I'll use my phone without one and see how it feels before I put the new one on. The new one is supposed to be glass, so I don't wanna open it if I'm going to have the same problem.

There's nothing in a screen protector that can cause hand pain.

Any other suggestions?

We theorize that the heat generated from the battery was reflected off the glass protector somehow back into the device and into my hand.

If your watch is generating that much heat, it has a hardware problem and should be serviced. Sooner rather than later as overheating is often a sign of a serious battery issue.

Ah, but you wanted a BIIIG screen... As the saying goes, TANSTAAFL! If it is any consolation, I am so grateful for the belt clip on my i6+'s Griffin Survivor Extreme case: I don't need to span the whole of the monster's width to hold it.

I'm a wedding photographer and I've been noticing for this past few months that I'm getting increasingly worse my left and my right wrist especially near my thumb. I am guessing that I'm trying to text with one hand way too much with this huge phone. I was blaming it on my camera lenses being too heavy but I'm starting to reconsider. This really did begin shortly after I switched over to the 6S plus. My advice for anyone do not Text with one hand hold the phone with one hand and text with the other. I have started acupuncture treatment and KT tape is helping quite a bit.

Same problem for me. Developed trigger thumb and pain at the base of both thumbs. In spite of my efforts to avoid using my thumbs for the phone, both have locked in a bent position and I've scheduled surgery for both hands.

I have noticed pain in my left hand since switching to the 6 plus. I'm sure it's due to the Weil of the phone, excess use and stretching the thumb further. I'm thinking of switching back to the smaller iPhone 7 model! I fell of an electric scateboard recently landing on my left wrist, to make matters worse! When Ouse the phone I try to use something to support it, such as my knee, or table.

Are you aware of the Reachability feature? If you touch (not tap or press) the Home button twice, the screen moves down, making it easier to reach the things at the top with your thumb.

IM not using my thumb to go to the top of the scree, but I do stretch it across sometimes! Yes I'm aware of the feature but never use it as I find it annoyiing! I think the problem is more about the weight of the phone constantly in my hand. I feel pain even when I sleep now.
