My "ex"-dad (DO NOT ASK) plans to buy me an Iphone and he asked if I wanted a 6 or 6+. What's the difference between the two?

The 6+ is physically huge and has longer battery life. There may be other minor differences but that's the only thing you should really consider.

Difference in processing speed? I'd like to play games with little framerate loss / lag.

The 6+ is slightly faster for gaming, though it's pretty close as they use the same SoC:

Wow, that's definitely a massive improvement over 5. The 6+ seems pretty worthwhile.
I have a Iphone4 and a SIM card in it, can I transfer the card into the Iphone6/6+?

One costs more and comes in a shinier box. It's still the same 5-years-behind-Android iPhone, just with a different name.

6 vs. 6+
Pros
- They're new
- Has new features that the previous iphones didn't have
- They're popular (most of your problems have or will have them
- 6+ in size is as close to Apple's ipad mini (if you're into that philosophy that size matters)
- It's Apple
Cons:
- Expensive
- Both still not as durable as the android
- Over time it starts breaking down (shortened battery life span, scratches, cracked screen well...see next one)
- It gets more expensive maintaining it when your unused warranty expires
- Both sizes are bigger than the android Galaxy s5 (yet people still complain about how "bulky" the android s5 while they get their iphone 6)
- When a problem in its system occurs, you're forced to go to Apple since your own phone provider (verizon, etc.) will tell you that they're not equipped to fix it, etc.
- Now you're forced to line in the Apple store with countless of strangers who turned the store into a Starbucks outlet
- It's Apple

Only if you cut the sim card with a micro to nano cutter.
Otherwise you can buy a nano sim of your service provider and then ask them to transfer your account info from one sim to the other.

Oh, there was also that thing with the iphone 6+'s bending in half at the slightest amount of force. Like, a small child could bend one in half on accident, they're that easy to break.

I got an iPhone6+. Hooray!
... Except my mom wants to take it and give me her iPhone 6... I'm kinda frustrated with that.
