My suggestion is to go to a retail store, the Apple store or Best Buy and see them in person. No one can made this decision for you. Also, I wouldn't buy one from QVC. They don't sell the newest models.

This. Decide in person what size you're comfortable with. If you want to buy online, do it after you try it out, first.

I'm not buying a new iPhone this year, but I'm going to go into a store and play with both new iPhone 6 models to help me decide which size I want next year.

That's what helped me decide I wanted the 6 plus.

Good luck with your mini! I decided that I want Santa to bring me one this year.Smiley Happy

I have an 11"" MacBook Air which I love & carry around the house. I also have a PC desktop which I use mostly for business. I take a lot of pictures for my business and have been using an old SLR digital camera. Each time I do I have to do a lot of photo editing which can be a bit annoying and time consuming. Last time my camera needed a charge DH offered to take photos for me with his iPad (regular size). I was really impressed with the quality of the pictures and the best part it needed very little editing!

So I decided then that I would like the new mini to help with picture taking and because I already have the MacAir I could easily get the pictures uploaded on to the Air. Plus I particularly like its portability and it's nice to bring with you when you want to show friends photos....so much easier to view them than on a phone!

I also have a Samsung Galaxy. I chose it because of the larger screen and now that the iPhone 6 has the larger screen I hope to get one within a year. It would be great to use the camera on that as well and have everything all work seamlessly together!

I have both an ipad 2 and ipad mini (no retina) both older models and am planning on buying a new device soon. I cannot afford to buy both and am having a really hard time deciding which. I love them both!! On a whim, I purchased the new kindle fire 6, it's only $100 bucks and it was on amazons version of ez pay. So far I'm loving it and the way my mini has been running lately after downloading ios 8, it's even working better. Honestly the kindle doesn't seem inferior to my mini (at least for my purposes) but that could be because my mini is 1 1/2 years old. Anyway. Pretty sure I'm going with the ipad air!
