6/6 Plus Buyers: Which model and color are you getting?

I'm still torn between Silver or Gold.

Sometimes I think the Gold looks a bit too *BLING* factor but having had the silver in the 5 for the past 2 years I'd quite like a change.

I reckon if you managed to cope with the 32GB model previously, you will be fine with the 64GB. Media hasn't doubled in size since.

£619/£699/£789 for the 16/64/128 gig respectively.

So for me, it's an extra £90 for an extra 64 gig of storage...

I guess it all comes down to resale value in England then.

I just sold my 5S here in the US and I got 90% of what I originally paid.

So spending $100 more on the 128GB is a no-brainer for me.
 
When will these be in stores to hold and check out? I went to an Apple Store today and they had nothing. We're going to have to preorder without ever seeing them (not even mockups?)?

I'm going to ditch my iPad Mini and get the 6 Plus so I don't have to travel with two devices. Probably in 128GB.

Even if I get the 6+ I am going to keep Rmini. I am leaning toward the 64GB 6+. Just too many features to pass on. I guess I will just have to get over the size.
 
iPhone 6 4.7 in Space Grey 16gb as that's all I'll need. I have a 32gb 5s and it's never gone over half as I don't tend to keep much on it and it's all saved to the cloud.

Try and get a hold of a 5.5' phone (at Best Buy or AT&T) so you get the general idea of the screen size you'll be dealing with for the next year or two.

Or print one of these scaled cutouts (worked for me!)

I have the cutout, and I have had the note 2 which was about the same size. The note 2 size got old for trying to text when you had something in your other hand. One handed texting was a pain in the butt. That is what is worrying me about the 6+.

Same here, phablets are incredibly frustrating when you only have one hand spare. I'm going for the 4.7".
 
I wanted to get a space grey 6, but now I'm leaning towards a 64GB Plus. I rarely use my current iPhone 5 for calls and I almost never try to text one handed, so getting something with a big ass screen to enjoy my content on seems like a no-brainer. I just hope it isn't too big for my pockets and comes with 2GB RAM.

Hopefully the double tap on the Touch ID button will facilitate one handed operation.

If not, I believe you can return the phone within 14 days and exchange it for another one.
 
I want the plus but not sure of how big it will actually be.. good thing my upgrade date is October 15h to decide for sure!!!
Now stock on the other hand by then.. I'll see it in December :p

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be in for a rude awaking when they get the 6+ and realize just how hard texting on the go is. I think a lot of people saw better battery, better camera, and better screen and just said they had to have it. Not thinking what a 5.5 inch screen will be like with daily use.

Yeah that is what I was thinking about. The only thing is them not having stock of the 6 when you want to exchange.

Yea, they didn't focus on one handed texting during the keynote. perhaps one of the many people that went hands on tried that out? Also, third party keyboards will be coming out soon with the ios8 release, so swype may be easier.

As for me, probably gonna go with a 6 128gb in space gray. Still would like to keep the ipad mini. Don't want to sacrifice for comfort for convenience(or burden because I would put EVERYTHING on a 6 plus...it would be an extension of my left arm).
 
I rarely text one handed and I don't work in a place where I can use my phone. If I need to I'll set it on the counter and use Swype. At home two hands is fine as I mostly read and text.

I'm with you, £90 for double the storage is cool, but perhaps unnecessary.

I could also go 64 gig and put that £90 to buying Applecare Plus...
 
I got the gold last year but for some reason the gold on the iPhone 6 does not appeal to me as much. I think I will go for the silver this time. :) :apple:
 
128gb Black 80% sure on the color..

White is intriguing because you can't see all the fingerprints surrounding the screen during the daytime, black is nicer but the finger prints show up everywhere. That is the only thing i really miss about the white
 
6/6 Plus Buyers: Which model and color are you getting?

iPhone 6 Plus 64GB but I'm torn between Space Gray and Silver. I have a Gold 5S now and I love how clean the phone looks with the white display since it hides fingerprints. But I'm also thinking the white would make the 6 Plus seem bigger where the black would make the front look sleek since everything would blend together.
