Are you ordering iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus? Why?

[LadyX]

Anyone change their minds about getting the 4.7?

 

[Gix1k]

And QHD is stupid on a phone. 1080p is a bit of overkill honestly, but it makes sense given the competition. I'm perfectly fine with the resolution on the 4.7" too. (I've never had a complaint about the pixel density on my iPhones.)

With a 5.5" screen QHD makes total sense when you're looking at it. The difference is real.

I've seen plenty of 1080p screens on smartphones. Is there a (small) difference? Yeah. Does it impact my life in any meaningful way at all? No. Everything is very clear on my 5S and retina mini. No need to be much sharper than that. I'd rather have the better battery life than the higher resolution screen. (for the same form factor).

Probably the 6 plus. It seems to be the definitive version

Better battery life, higher PPI, Optical Image Stabilisation being 6 Plus only.

Was on the fence, but it's 6 Plus all the way for me, it's no contest. Feel kinda sorry for those who really don't want a big phone though.

Just hope there's a 128gb option.

Edit: YES! 128gb option, woo!

The IP6 Plus hands down. The more display size the better.. I use my phone for everything.

Now that I've seen the price, I really dont know. How can you skip the 32GB model????

 

[Dave Felix]

iPhone 6 Plus

 

[Jman13]

With pricing now revealed, definitely 64GB 6, at $299 is a good price. Don't want the extra size, and I'm a photographer who carries a real camera about 95% of the time anyway, so the OIS isn't crucial for me (but I'd like it it it was my primary camera).

I have both sitting in front of me. While I can see the 2013 Moto X screen just fine (which is retina quality), it is nowhere near as clear, crisp or colorful as the Nexus 5 at 1080p. You are fooling yourself if you believe there is little difference and that 326ppi on a 4.7" phone is acceptable for the price you have to spend!

iPhone 6 v iPhone 6 Plus - what are you getting?

128 GB ... Wow

Still going for the 4.7.

 

[ckurt25]

Bummed the 6+ starts with 16GB then jumps to 64. I would have love a 32GB 6+ at 299. I'll probably get the 64 @ 399.

 

[Shadowbech]

Six +

 

[drew0020]

Definitely 6 Plus. Can't handle the screen on the 4.7"

 

[newmacuser14]

6 for me

Ok, well, first of all, the Apple screens are better than the Moto X screen in quality (IPS, etc). Second, I have a 326 ppi phone right in front of me. I know exactly what the resolution is, and it's perfectly fine. So many people get so bent out of shape if there is something out there that is 'better' that they lose sight of whether it matters that it's better. If it matters to you, go for it. It doesn't to me. At all.

5.5" Go big or go home!

 

[elwood2]

Fairly certain that i'm getting neither. 16gb for $199 then 64gb for $299??? Nope. I think it's time for a change. Bash away...

 

[Shadowbech]

Six +

 

[sixxmum]

Superficially looking at how Apple presented the two, it seems like it's the Plus that is going to be their main focus. So it could be suggested, very prematurily and without evidence to support it, that the 6 is going to be the low end version, while the "real deal" would be the 6 Plus.
Which is a hilarious move.

Ah. I gotcha. I didn't do the 5S/5C cycle, so I wasn't really aware of how it was presented.

 

[pooleman]

I'll be getting the 6 plus I think. Not sure. I basically have around $300 to spend. So it's a 16GB iPhone 6 Plus or a 64 GB iPhone 6. Just not sure.

Or I can get the iPhone 6 and sell my iPod touch and maybe get the iWatch.

 

[LadyX]

This thread needs a poll. Would be interested in the numbers.

Fine to you doesn't mean it's fine for everyone else. 720p on a device at this point in the game is POOR...simple as that. I mean I can still watch VHS, but hey why not a DVD....then Blu-Ray. It's better, why go backwards

 

[stuffradio]

I'm getting the 6Plus. I was expecting these prices!

 

[newmacuser14]

I really dont want to spend $400 on a new phone or have a 5.5 inch device in my pocket but its almost like Apple is forcing my hand here.
