I've heard it said the I6 is a one handed phone and the plus is a two handed 
phone, whatever that means.  I have the I6 with 64 GB of memory.  Unless you 
are collecting books and movies, you won't need a lot of extra memory and 
especially since you most likely won't have tons of pictures and videos.
