But, if youre a person who loves to watch TV Shows, browse web all the time or watching movies; the better choice will be iPhone 6 Plus.
iPhone 6 Plus got a bigger screen; make some display zoom to you ( even this feature is available on both of the phones); but it can prove helpful for the people who have vision problems. Apart from that iPhone 6 Pluss Landscape mode splits your screen for reading mails with the left side of the screen showing all your messages and the center and right side displaying your open message. In the landscape mode; keyboard in the built-in apps like Mail and Messages has more options a microphone, undo key, period and comma and others on the iPhone 6, and even more on the iPhone 6 Plus, like dedicated copy and paste keys.

Choice: Choose between how it fits your packet. If youre a worried of the size the iPhone 6 Plus is not a good choice; apart from that it was a better one than iPhone 6. But if youre person who loves to go with the multimedia part than iPhone 6 Plus will be better choice.
Design
The iPhone 6 measure 5.44*2.64*0.27-inch and weighs 129 grams. The iPhone 6 Plus measure 6.22*3.06*0.28-inch and weighs 172 grams.

New features such as Wi-Fi calling, voice over LTE (VoLTE), and a new near-field communications (NFC) wireless chip are present, though not everyone will be able to take advantage of those features.
Camera
On the camera part; both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus getting a new iSight camera with 8 MP sensors with improved auto focus and larger pixels. There is one big difference between these two cameras and its a feature in iPhone 6 Plus called Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). While the iPhone 6 gets Digital Image Stabilization.
It doesnt seem to be small difference, because OIS uses special algorithms to manipulate the camera lens to compensate hand shaking while taking photos. But the Digital image stabilization uses software to correct for hand shaking while taking photos and not effective as OIS. So, here the iPhone 6 Plus had got a bigger hand in this.
