I'm glad that they're making it bigger...and even more impressed that they're offering the "plus" version thats competitively sized in comparison to the bigger android phones out right now.

The iPhone 6 Plus looks way too big for my liking. I mean, if I want something that huge from Apple, I'll just buy myself an iPad.

I'm very happy with the size of my current iPhone 5s and wouldn't change it for a 6, ever.

Does not beat what's already out there. But I love Apple events as they tell other companies to make even better products. :)

Hmm I would rather just stick to a nexus and a lg 360 watch:

Apple is ok for those into iphones (usually people who haven't used a android before) but I dont really see much to justify a upgrade unless you are getting it free for renewing a contract or something.

UM tbh i think it's starting to look more like an android b/c bigger and the round corners are more samsung-like and i just switched from a samsung which i HATED to the 5s
annoying that the 6 came out right after i got the 5s but i guess i knew it was coming, not sure if i wanna switch but i definitely wouldn't go for the bigger one
they said they estimated that "phablets" ie. phone tablets (has anyone ever used that term before idek) are gonna outsell laptops in a bit and i guess they're appealing to more people by making the bigger version too but personally i hate how big phones can get and i'd go for the regular one if i got it.
besides the look though i don't see much of a difference between new phones ever. like the 4, 4s, 5, 5s were all pretty much the same with minor adjustments and obviously faster and better cameras and whatnot, the 5c went back to like iphone 3 style but bigger and now the 6 is just like??? probably a disappointment as well but i guess there isn't much left to add to phones that all they can really do is change the looks and improve what's already there.
IT ANNOYS ME THOUGH because some people still have the iphone 4/4s and it works fast and is wayy cheaper than the newer ones but the new models just get more and more expensive and there's no point??? okay done ranting but yeah tbh not overly impressed with the 6 from what i've seen so far

i'm not actually all that excited for the iphone 6. maybe i'm just biased tho because my 5s is my baby. :)

I might pick up an iPhone 6 Plus during the holidays (where there are bonuses involved). Too heavily invested into iTunes with all my apps and such. I've gotten a Nexus 7 and a few hundred dollars in Google Play credit so I'm slowly moving away from my iPad (lol, no flash really screws it up for most sites).

What irks me is that Canadian carriers (because of two year contracts) are forcing everyone to move towards $80+ plans if you wanted >3GB of data (increased average revenue per user). Even if I were to buy it outright on no contract, they won't give me the 10% off on my current $65 plan (6GB of data) even though they're not subsidizing anything but if I get their $80 plan, they'll gladly give me 10% off if I bring my own phone.

And if I wanted them to subsidize the phone price? $80 plan for 4GB of data instead of 6GB. The subsidy is valued at $21/month so at most, I'd be saving is actually $6 or so per month ($80-$21=$59) if I went on contract. I rarely use more than 200 minutes a month anyway and texting is all that matters (I have thousands of texts a month). All because our silly Canadians thought a 2 year contract is better than a 3 year contract. The carriers just used that excuse to raise prices significantly so it also screws people who aren't on contract with more expensive plans overall. Even if you were on a 3 year plan, it was easy enough to get a nice plan and get a hardware upgrade for practically free every 2 years. Heck, I got my new iPhone 5 2 years ago with a $65 plan with 6GB and was hoping to renew this year like usual but everything is so fucked up now in terms of prices.

In 2012, Android developed the Nexus 4:

With very very eerily similar features, the iPhone 6 is definitely nothing new...but why are people flocking to it if Android developed the same thing two years ago?

Well that image is kind of a stretch I mean my blackberry 3 years ago could do battery stats , predictive text , notifications there is nothing about cpu or ram ect.... Not that it even matters to much as most iphone apps work across all there devices so a 6 might be able to render better stuff than a 4s for e.g but why would someone make apps just for the 6?

The one thing that annoys me most with apple is when the 6 is out they will within a year or two put out a ios update that does not work with the 4/4s. Your 4/4s will forever show you are on the latest ios when its not and whenn you try to download a app from the app store you will be told that you need the latest ios (that you cannot get). This happened to me on the 3gs I installed a edited version of the firmware for the latest ios and it worked fine..

Steve Jobs is doing somersaults in his grave LOL. I highly doubt he'd approve something so low quality
Tim Cook is a CEO that likes to appease shareholders and has I guess decided to do that with lower costs

Apparently the 6 plus costs $15 more to make than the 6...yeah I can see that lol. so it's $85 right in their pockets because they sell it for a $100 more. good one lol

I agree with this , my first thought too. How could they not of tested for this? Have you seen the Iphone 6 drop test too? Its not pretty.

I do not think this effects the normal version of the 6 from what I have seen. But it would be easy to bend over with a phone in ur pockets , accidentally sit on it or something and have it warped. Defiantly a fuck up at the design stage and Apple usually ahead of the game design wise, they slippin lol.

Have always thought that iPhones were a waste of money. Don't get me wrong...I loved my 4s! However, I didn't have to pay for it. I wouldn't drop any money on one. I can see why people like them, though, so all the power to you

Was going to finally get a phone today and was thinking about the 6plus. Now that i've seen that bend test i'm not so sure. Maybe i'll just stick with the 6, didnt really need something that big anyway. I was looking at the other brands as well but i'm not a fan of virtual buttons and also cant really be bothered learning how to use a completely different interface all over again since my previous phone was an iphone. Iphones are just easy and simple imo, and i'm totally ok with that. :P

If it's a phone you are after and simplicity, why not get a Nexus 4 or even an upgraded Nexus 5. The phone offers the same features as an iPhone if you break it down to detail, and many more features. All for less than half the price of an iPhone. :)

I just want it to fit comfortably in my ass pocket.
That's all.. ~___~

Iphone 6 can fit well but iphone6 plus cannot. Tried it at the apple store

Don't buy it! Many are reporting that it bends when they keep it in the pocket. Apple too accepts that and is working on it. In my view Samsung s5 is awesome compared to iphone series!

In reality though the fact the people line up at midnight to get a iphone when there as never been a lack of stock for them says alot. Just like dre beats its perceived value. If its the gui you like there are plenty of skins for android to make it look exactly like a apple..

Just got the 6. I feel pretty meh about it. I was due for an upgrade and my 5 had issues. Also, AT&T has a promotion where if I turned in my 5, I got $200. Since the phone was $200, I essentially got a free upgrade. I took it.

I like how the phone makes use of more screen than the 5, but I do wish it were slimmer so I could hold it comfortably with one of my small hands. It's surprisingly lightweight though, and I do think the battery on it is better, but my 5 may have just had bad battery to begin with.

iOs 8 is pretty nifty, but you can get it on any phone, and I like the fingerprint login but that was available with the 5s. Overall I wouldn't have done the upgrade if I hadn't needed it and if it wasn't free. Hope this helps!

I decided to hold off on the 6. Xperia Z3 is likely my next phone.
