For me the biggest excitement of upgrading to the 5 was LTE. The iPhone 6 felt like the biggest upgrade since the iPhone 4.

I'm assuming none of them are fixable -- that's just the way the phone is. I hope you are right though.
Are you suggesting your phone doesn't have these issues?
And believe me, I've already fantasized about returning the 6. After using Android for a bit, it's hard to deal with a worse keyboard, a worse dictation/talking text feature, and a few other things that Android does so well. I find myself missing the bigger screen of the S4 as well.
Thanks, for the suggestion. I'll investigate and experiment...
Early tries bring up Siri more often than not. What's the secret to avoiding that?
Hopefully Apple will stop making android iPhones.
What do you mean?
Why?

Too big. Even the S5 is too big, and the LG G2 is real borderline too, which is why I went with the S4. I think that may be the most ideally sized phone on the market: 5" screen, not too tall, not too thick, not too heavy.
Here are a couple of shots to show you how it works...low profile, within reach, easy to place/remove, and right above the ashtray so I have a short USB cable to power it while I'm driving.
Simply stuck the Rokform mount directly to the ProClip USA mount (without phone holder). First bought it YEARS ago when it was holding a Blackberry!! Then through all of the iPhone models....then to a Nokia 1520 for the past year...and now the same mount for my iPhone 6+ since I have been using Rokform since last year.
Very ingenious thank you I am definitely going to do something like this for my car.
Press the Touch ID briefly just to wake it up and then just rest the finger on it to unlock. Don't keep it pressed as that will activate Siri.
I adore the 6 plus, battery life is absolutely excellent. Screen size is still a bit awkward for one hand use. This phone is a keeper. There will be no need to upgrade to 7 for at least 2 years or whatever it's going to be, it's not going to be any slimmer or bigger.
Ahh! Let me try that and see how it goes…
Anyone want to commment on that dim-to-bright unlock effect? Subtle, but it did catch my eye.
A couple of more first impressions:
1. Talking my texts doesn't work as well as it did on Swiftkey/Android, which was incredibly accurate and good at understanding every word I said. But talk-texting on the iphone spits out more wrong words. Too many. Disappointed in this.
2. The kindle app is far superior to the glitchy Android version. Less problems, better design and functionality.

The least important feature of any of the many smartphones I buy is the camera. In fact until recently I have not bothered to use them. I always carry a small DSLR since I love Photograhpy.
That said I just compared my two newest smartphones, my iPhone 6+ and Nexus 6, with nearly identical results. Now I understand why casual users love the camera on their phone.

I have had my plus for about 3 1/2- 4 weeks now and I have to say that I absolutely love it. The extra screen real estate is great.
I couldn't imagine using a phone any bigger though.

Love it!
I had the six for a month and half than switched to the plus from Craigslist lol
I'm now loving my plus!

I'm glad I use a case and screen protector I'm a vapor and my big metal mvp battery landed in the screen lol no the screen didn't have a scratch thanks to the protector... Can't imagine me running without a case! I use both!

Off Amazon. You're best going to the Brodit site and putting your vehicle details in, then it'll tell you what holder you need. I love them as there's no screwing holes into the dashboard, it just clips in and is very secure. Each unit is different and specific to your vehicle.
I am buying my iPhone 6 16GB "Space Grey" from Walmart tonight, and I am very excited to upgrade from my 5th generation iPod touch! I will be taking pictures and writing a first impression review on my blog tomorrow.
Case showed up yesterday...I actually like how the mount on the back of the case is now higher than I could place on my Lumia 1520. Lowers the phone slightly. Perfect position to be out of the way but still visible.
Now just waiting for the phone to show up....

still debating upgrading to the plus from my 1520 which , except for needing some apps that are not available I really love, how's the transition for you ?
Still waiting for the phone....but I was on iPhone since the first gen up until a year ago, so won't be a dramatic switch for me going back.
Waze crapped out on me a week ago on my 1520...keeps crashing on start-up, so I can't wait to have that back again.
I just got my 6 Plus this week. Any idea why the bottom left corner is magnetic? I could't find anything on Google.
No never heard of the the phone being magnetic, how did u come to find this out? Did u put a magnet to it? May there is a steel reinforcement inside there#

A safety pin in my pocket stuck to the bottom right corner of the handset.
Also tested with a sewing needle.
Well I am going to try it with mine and see what happens and report back to u and let u know the results.
Here is mine going to ask about this when I go to the apple store on Monday. While I am qurious to know the answer for this. It might be nothing to worry about. My wife 6 does this as well.
