I know it's apple and with new(?) features. But really, Is this phone really worth having?

No.

apple is never worth the cost. high prices and fragile products arent a good combination

Might as well get the galaxy if they're opting for a bigger size now. But don't do it, Haven't you heard of the terrible stories? Of the cracked-screen epidemic :O?

Pro-iPhone perspective here. Apple has always been pricier, but for some (myself included), the price is worth the product. iOS is a very stable environment, and despite "missing" some "crucial features" found on other mobile operating systems, it is a very usable OS for most.
The new models being so fragile is a bit of a concern, but I doubt many buy phones exclusively based on drop-test results.
I really don't like large phones; they make the mobile idea of the device really awkward. The iPhone 6 is pretty much as big a "smartphone" as I'd like to carry with me. The 6 Plus seems like overkill, but plenty of other phone makers have been selling larger, so people much enjoy them.

>>5 I don't like the 'close-minded' nature of Apple software. They have to approve all software that can be released onto the store, etc. Android is open to more. This is important to me. As for physical strength, I don't want to lose $600 because I accidentally forget to zip up my bag and my phone falls out. They should be able to survive fairly high falls, especially if the R&D costs were enough to warrant the price tag. You'd think they'd have spent it on some higher-strength materials.

Apple's exclusive policies for apps can absolutely be seen as close-minded, but its results mean only committed developers producing high-quality works make it to the public. Android's marketplace is known to be riddled with scams and malware, a problem seldom seen on the App Store. At the end of the day, everyone will have a different opinion on security vs. open submission. I just want to present the other side, I can't say I really agree with App Store developers paying a $99/year fee to develop, but it's very effective at keeping the ecosystem high-quality.

the IPhone 6 is worth having but the IPhone 6 Plus is disastrous. Ever heard of it? The IPhone 6 Plus Bends within a few hours in your pocket. Thats not something to get even if it is a large screen. But still cool C:

My yoga instructor was replaced by an iPhone 6 and I have to say my stretches have been more intense! :)

My mom got one and traded her old phone to me. I think it's the iPhone 6 with the Touch ID.
Personally, I think the new iPhone is stupid. It's way too big for crying out loud! ><
I perfer "small and efficient."

To sum every Iphone: S̶H̶I̶T̶ shit, you can not call something advance or reliable if there is a new one every year with a + version.

I'm not a fan of the 6 and 6+. It's large, so it would take up to much room in pockets or a purse... I also heard that the 6's bend and or melt... The iPhone 6 is probably like an iPad mini. Honestly, they should've kept the size similar to the 5s. I personally love the 5s.

Buy a walky-talky. They can survive both the drop test and the bend test, in addition they don't tend to cost $600. Jk...

(But phones should be modeled after the durability of the walky-talky, they're not because phone producers are hoping you'll break the plastic shit and buy the next one - it's how they live as a corporation. The consumer just has to suffer. Personally I'd love a hard-screen, tough keypad, wireless phone based off of blackberry programming architecture but with the build and design of a walky-talky - now that's a man's phone! Course it wouldn't fit in your pants...)

no

Like Daccano said No. It's because Iphone 6 & Iphone 6+ has some Security problems which lead to failure. It's like the Iphone 4-5... Least my Iphone 5 had
