I think they both have the same camera.

He means OIS feature which is exclusive to the 6+

So in the end, Apple steals the HTC One M8 design and makes it uglier?

First time I think having an android/windows phone that is better looking then the iPhone..

Hmm...guess they're both grey-ish metal so there's that...

No- the one in the 6 Plus has optical stabilisation which is not on the 6. That one only has digital stabilisation. It's probably due to the amount of space available for the hardware.

yeah, sorry, didn't realise. pity! :(
 
6+ for me
Have been waiting for this for so long and I refuse to buy LagDroid flimsy cheap plastic phone. You couldn't pay me to use that garbage
 
Me either. Apple might have just seriously compromised the sales numbers of the iPad mini with this new ginormous phone though. Whatever.

Phones are still too small for me and way too expensive off contract for me to even consider anyways. Oh well.

Y'all enjoy your giant slab...errr....ummmm... "Phone". :rolleyes:

:p

Yea, seriously compromised the sales of iPad mini with a more expensive and probably higher margin device....what is Apple thinking???? (Remember actual price is $450 higher than the subsidized prices advertised) But they may have reduced the number of people who will buy both....or it will just force iPad mini buyers to go back to full sized iPad....man, Apple is just so stupid! :rolleyes:
 
The 6 Plus would probably be a lot more managable if Apple would shrink those huge bezels.

5,5" is not that big. I tried the G3 today and was surprised how compact it was (relatively speaking).
 
First, I hardly ever use the phone part.

And that is the problem right there. It's a phone, used to call people. All these bells and whistles aren't bringing us together, they're making our lives more complicated and if you are buying a mobile phone of which you hardly use the "phone" part, maybe people should rethink it.

*Yes I understand those who are hearing impaired would benefit from a larger device, but this is in relation to the general public and the social trend in relying upon technology too much

designwise:

iPhone 5s: 6/10
iPhone 6: 8/10
Apple Watch: 4/10
Mac Pro: 10/10
MacBook Pro: 9/10

I wanted the Watch to be round and black like the Mac Pro.
My favorite iPhone was the original 2007. Very utilitarian and minimal.
 
Biggest waste of real estate - columns and rows of static icons. Pathetic!

That's the problem with apple - you waste 5.5" of space to look just like a 3.5" iPhone screen. Same lame static icons, just 6 rows of icons more.

iOS 8 changes nothing.

Man, HTC does not get a lot of credit but you're right. The M8 looks better than what I saw today. Plus you got 2 speakers on the front.
 
The most boring, ugly and technically poor iPhone update ever.
Apple's engineering, designing and idea-generating impotency is pretty obvious right now.
 
Haha..To those who thought that leaked iPhone 6 was fake...

Also, the nowhereelse.fr guy was just butthµrt it didn't get leaked to him..

The wallpaper is a default in the GM seed.
Clock hand is tweaked to be longer in the GM seed too..

PEople were saying the build quality of the chinese leak was fake, not the design. This phone looks like the Volks one, not the chinese leak. Even the chinese leaker had the wrong performance, so pretty much a fake. Kinda funny that the 5.5 body didn't leak at all.

I'm hearing impaired. I almost never use the phone part of my iPhone. But I use iMessage/SMS every day. And email. And twitter. And any other number of apps that bring me closer to the people I love.

Don't be so short-sighted.

same 8MP camera, same 5element lens design, no 4K video, finally 60fps in 1080p, not even voice activate shutter (which is extremely useful) - same 720p front camera, just waiting for all the new features to be implemented in iPhone 7 - business 101 as usual for apple.

Right... Technically poor, it kills all other phones in single core performance and graphic performance... Has a stellar thougher than others screen, a touch biometric sensor miles ahead of anyone else, etc. A top of the line battery performance. They also got the brightest and best performing screen. Not to mention a top of line camera.

But, hey, that's poor in your book.

haha yeap but don't forget the Optical Image Stabilisation in the Plus model only!
These updates are hilarious.
 
how many of you 'loving the new iPhone form factor' were criticizing android phones for being too clumsy/too big two years ago?

Anyone who knows anything about video would tell you that 4K video with a small sensor and lens is for idiots. The fact you even mention it proves you have no clue.
