I just got my iphone 6 delivered about 30 mins ago. I haven't been able to restore from my iCloud backup... just getting an error message that it could not contact the server. I'm sure Apple servers are getting hammered with activations today.
Got a tip for us?

First Impressions of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus: Sleek Look, Great Display, Unoptimized Apps Blurry, Loud Vibration

The only other thing to consider is battery. Significant difference between the two.
Regardless of what others say, screen size/resolution isn't a huge deal to me. I've been rocking the 5 for almost two years and it's still a great picture. It's not like when we went from regular cable tv to HD. Night and day difference. The improvements are significant on paper, but resolutions are so good already that I don't think it's as important anymore.
I'll be interested to see what I think too. I'm always thinking interesting things.
Louder/stronger vibration on the 6 will be a good thing. Reverted to custom vibe patterns with 5S as it is too feeble and needs to be louder/stronger IMO.
No doubt...but you would think they would actually start preparing for these times. They could throttle the connection enough to allow more people to start backups...
Isn't the point of vibration to feel it and not to *hear* it?...
You *know* it will be moot for case users (because you have one and have found out, for example), or you speculate it will be?
You assume most people will use cases. Hard to argue, at least from a statistics viewpoint, but this is also speculation on your part - isn't it?
Remember you can always customize your vibration. Short pulses should keep it quieter (in theory; I haven't tested it yet).
It's funny, because when I went from the 4 to the 5 the companies that took the longest were banks and newspapers. You'd think that they would be in a hurry to improve! I guess the smaller developers who actually make money from their apps are more likely to be on top of it.
Looking at that colour comparison, looks like I'm glad that I went with the Space Grey this time around instead of the gold
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
Nice...that's going to feel like a moster upgrade from A5 to A8 in terms of performance - congrats..
The screen is perfect for me, although the optimizing apps is an absolute must. I am typing on my iPhone 64gb SG now and I can say it feels awesome in hand. Real snappy. The stock apps look awesome although Instagram and other apps look like garbage. I am glad I came back to the iPhone from my S5. Can't wait for more optimized apps.
I realize the topic of this thread is not related to my statement, but I pre-ordered a 6 thru verizon and then canceled the order next day. Want to hold the 2 different size phones and get a sense for each before making decision. How does the 6 plus fit in front pants pockets (mens pants)?
I woke up at 6. Went to Miami ATT store. Only 30 people there and after 2 hours of wait, they announced that there were no 6 plus at all. NOT EVEN ONE!
There was only 3 at a big mall here in Indy. I was first in line. Lucked out
Well certainly a hugely successful day for Apple once again, finally here with larger screens, I find it ironic as it was only a few years back being shouted down and even kicked off of MR for wanting a large screen and arguing the point for one..
I was never going to queue too lazy but the order is in and it's on it's way..

whats the amp on the charger for the 6+? im little worried that it will take long to charge since the 5s is half the size and charging takes a little over 2 hours. read most of the reviews and no one mentions the charging. I hope they used the ipad mini chargers.
People will love this bigger screen. Once you have it in hand it is sweet. Really, you'll see. I can't see how anyone would want the smaller one. Well I guess it is preference. But they way it is set up, it's so easy to use. At least try the 5.5 before you make the 4.7 plunge. It's absolutely worth the extra 100.00.
