If this is produced in two sizes again, I might finally give up my 4s and get 6s, smaller size, for anyone on 5 and earlier, it seems like a really nice upgrade.
Got a tip for us?

My only question to myself is... white or black? I went with white until the 4 fiasco when white wasn't available for months. Then I went back to white with the 5, 5s, and finally black with the 6 Plus. Hmmm....
I upgrade yearly so no surprise I'll be picking this up as well.... my wife however is typically satisfied with her phone for 2 years..... My 6 will go to my daughter as she's dying for a larger phone than her 5s.
Your type makes me laugh..... I don't care about the details and will be upgrading on day one.... am I a fanboy as well? I upgrade yearly despite the specs because I can as do many others...... why do you have a problem with that?cool for you and before someone call your a fan boy drinking the Kool Aid... you don't need the details because you trust the productand these days theres not a lot of brands you can say that about
It's a marketing/sales strategy. Many people find that 16GB iPhone to be insufficient space, so they go for the 64GB which is $100 more. If they provided a 32GB as the base model then people will go for it instead of the 64GB which will then be $100 less for apple. And depending on the sales numbers this could translate into millions of dollars loss for Apple.
From what I've seen so far I can't say this is a major upgrade for me, until I watch the event about it I might change my mind. For now I will skip this model...
Doesn't matter, if Apple stops all flights again just to please themselves this time round with "more then enough"
They'll never be "more than enough" to users, since we are greedy buggers. ...
So, Apple can knock their socks off. and make as many i.devices than they want, but the customer growth buying them will triple year over year...
That's my stance ... and i'm sticking to it
And i'm still trying to get used to Force Touch.....

The space grey 5S and the black iPhone 5 were very different so is really hard to tell now how it would look like.
With iPhone 6 I went for the silver but this time I may switch back to a black iPhone, only if the back will be black enough since the black iPhone 6 is only slightly darker than the white one...
It's the very minimum decent requirement for a 2015 smartphone. If any of these are missing I'm definitely switching.
Not at all the same thing. Long press has a delay... it literally says so in the name of it. Force touch is instant and allows you to bring up contextual menus without having to be accurately on the element you're trying to "right click" on.
Apple has had quite a streak going with sales increases of significant proportions.
Yet that said sooner or later they're bound to experience a decline, I wonder if the upcoming new model will be the one that fails to sell in the quantities Apple is expecting. For the last five days with hardly any attention from the media, Apple Stock has been in decline. That's a significant trend that only traders and investors seem to be watching, a very revealing fact.

85-90M isn't really that many considering Apple sold 74.5M in Q4 2014 alone.

Ok, I give you that. Even when a force touch can not take the same amount of time as a simple tap.
Can't say I would feel bad about that. Only the shareholders would.
There's also this scenario to consider: The people who could only afford to buy the 16GB model continue to see their phone more and more restricted every year thanks to apps growing in size, iOS growing in size, and better cameras creating larger image files. Those people say screw you Apple, I'm buying a Samsung because they'll give me a 32GB model for a good price while you continue to gouge us with a low base storage and ridiculous markups for additional storage.
If you're Apple, or a shareholder, which would you rather? Lose a customer entirely to your competition or sell the better base model for $100 less?
16GB in 2015 is a joke and they know it. They're pushing it and if they're not careful they will push out the biggest market they have: budget buyers who won't pay the extreme prices for higher end models.
Hope that means a worldwide release on the one and same date! Really hate how Apple prioritize customers in some countries higher than others, just like someones money is more worth...
I can't wait until it is waterproof. I'm not looking forward to subsequent barrage of tub selfies.
Thumbs up if you've ever killed a phone by getting it wet.
