Anyone have an iPhone 6 plus? Does it fit in the cup holder?

Trying to decide if I want the huge phone or not =)

Unfortunately it does not. If you keep the tray in however it fits nicely on it.

There are mounts that are made that made to hold the smartphone. Here is one that fits in the cup holder.

I just got the iPhone 6. It is already right at the limit on size for me. Unless you have acromegaly I'd go for the 6.

I can't believe someone actually bought a 6 Plus. It's like having an iPad Mini against your face.

Hmm, on the tray, is the 6+ pretty secure, does it ever slide out during quick turns and starts?

I've used tons of different phone mounts, and I like using them in my cars without nav, but otherwise I prefer to be able to just toss the phone somewhere in the center console.

I can't believe someone bought an X5, its like driving a bus.

J/K, but seriously lets not turn to bashing. Everyone's has a reason for considering the different form factors.

For me personally I rarely ever actually hold up my phone to my face. Texting, email, web browsing, calendar, and maps? Several hours a day, everyday. Arguably all better on a tablet.. and if its one I can keep with me all the time in my pocket, why not?

Staying on topic, anyone else have any more experience with a 6 plus in their F80/F82?

I was just kidding as well...people should buy what they like. No experience here. Oh, and the X5 is for the wife...I wouldn't drive around something so big day to day.

I have the 6 plus and love it. Came from a Note II and the 6 plus is taller but not as wide as Note II and the battery life is great. I need the bigger screen and I get a ton of emails and text each day. For me it is a business tool and use a headset or blue tooth almost 100% of the time for phone calls. I do throw it in the cupholder area at times and it will also sit nicely where the hand break goes. But 90% of the time I have it in a ProClip USA holder attached to a windshield suction cup mount. It is a little hard to explain but the phone is easy to see, is out of the way and securely in a holder and I have a quick disconnect so I can move it from car to car very easy.

Haha it is quite hilarious seeing someone hold an iPhone 6 plus up to their ear.
