The want the MacRumors.com sticker in the above picture for my iPhone and MacBook Air. Is there a place where I can get it from? Is there like a MacRumors merchandise store?

It's not a sticker. We got a bunch of iPhone 6 cases printed based on the rumored specs a few months ago.

We do have some stickers around. Maybe we'll figure out an easy way to get them to people. The case giveaway was a big of a chore packing up and shipping individual cases.

Got mine today, and am glad I decided on the 4.7 the 5.5 would have been way to big...besides iPhones are supposed to be smaller and better than all the rest right? like a david/goliath thing lol

yeah i already know the 6 plus is way to big. the 6 is where it's at and it's a shame that everyone talks down about it as "the regular iphone". the 6 Plus took the attention away from the fact that 6 now has an absolutely gorgeous display that has even more screen real estate than the 5/5S, yet it still easy to handle
 
The blurry apps will be a non issue soon. I'm more interested in the real battery life test. This was my biggest issue with previous versions.
 
My local Verizon store just has a recorded message saying that they're too busy to answer the phones and then they hangup on you.

Actually, he said he appreciates the " stronger vibrator." Literally. That's what HE said!

As someone who runs his iPhone in silent mode much of the time, I definitely appreciate the stronger vibrator.

First of all, this is my first time commenting on here.

Second of all, I woke up at 7 and headed to the verizon store and there were only 30 people in line. Almost everybody was waiting in line at the apple store downstairs in the mall. I managed to get the $200 for my iPhone 4S and used that to get a iPhone 6 64gb :)
 
the vibration noise is a moot point since most people have their iPhones wrapped in some sort of case. unless you just use a rubber bumper, i doubt you'll notice the vibration noise any more than your current iPhone
 
I am glad for Apple and for us that reactions are so mixed in terms of choosing between the 5.5 inch phone vs 4.7 inch. This is a good thing. It just means that it comes down to personal preference, and neither one is "unusable". They both belong and are good for the lineup.

It would have been nice if they sent their stores a few phones each as display models to test out the different sizes a week before launch. Lots of foot traffic for the stores.

I went with the 4.7, but in fear of 5.5 being too big. Though I am not opposed to 5.5 as my next phone. I won't know if I made the right decision til this afternoon.

I just don't know if it's worth the extra $100. I'd rather use that towards more storage. I am interested to see the difference in photo quality.

It seems to me that the 6+ has better photos, but probably not $100 worth better photos.

I'm with you. iPhone 6, with more storage.
 
I wonder what I'll think of the gold in person. I seriously considered getting the gold, but I figured since the whole back is now gold it would just be way to loud/blingy, especially because I'm getting the 6+. I think my silver will be a nice change to the black iPhone's that I've had for the past 4 years (after my white 3g).

Yeah I was wondering about that too! I guess site admins still have the downvote? haha
 
Customers are also generally praising the overall look of the new iPhones, calling them "sleek and beautifully made" and "glorious"

Something that I always notice with apple products is that pictures doesn't do justice. You have to have it in your hand and see it for yourself before make any judgment, and apple never fail to impress imo.
 
Spec war goes from here!

By increasing the size of the display but still play with dual core processors with underlying 64 bit architecture, the next gen iPhones will definitely beat the .... out of IP6 & IP6+ with quad core processors, more RAM etc... Just imagine how those who have bought iPhones now would feel?
 
I'd like to see a gold version with the black trim instead of the white.

Seeing how the gold phone is faster, I almost got one, but switched to the space grey instead because I didn't want to have the white front.

I went with the smaller phone. I too thought the 6 + would be too big.
 
Really?

Loud vibration? It's either too quiet or too loud. You're not gonna hear it go off when its in your pocket.

To be fair, I haven't heard it on the 6 Plus, on the 6 it's fine.
 
First NEW device, for me, since they started giving away the iWork suite with purchase.

Have to say that I am disappointed that I'm unable to download the iWork suite to my iPad, for cross-platform.
