Well the g3 is also 5.5 and it doesn't feel too big for me, but from the picture it does look bigger than the g3.
ya, I guess the only way to truely tell is seeing it in person, but the issue is in stores they are usually strapped down so you can test how it fits in pockets
I am coming from a galaxy s3 which is very close in demensions to the 6 and it fits with space in all my jeans and coat pockets,
Yep definitely need the hands on. It does appear to bigger than many of the current flagships though.
I walked into a target to find no line up with choices of the iPhone 6 available. Left without grabbing one, crossed the street and walked into a Rogers store again not a person in the store. Had my choice and walked out with a 6 space grey 128gb. No waiting.
No 6+ at either location. Both in Aurora, Ontario.

Custom iOS apps are a joke unless the iPhone is jailbroken, which then it's really no longer an iPhone controlled by Apple.
Have fun!
LOL !!!
I'm fairly sure Samsung fans enjoy the ability to walk into a store and buy the product they want instead of having to wait all night in the cold in front of a store to buy one on launch day, or risk not getting one for weeks.
One definitely sounds more pleasing than the other. Just saying.
Yes it would be nice to be able to go day one without waiting in line and be able to get any product that I want. Samsung though wishes they had this problem
Such concern you have for the feelings of multi-billion dollar corporations.
This thread is getting very close to having post their bank balance or tax returns.
Or perhaps posting their "measurements"
The need to impress anonymous people on a tech website forum is pretty sad...
Went to local AT&T at 3:30am was 18th in line. They received a total of 13+. I'm very lucky I ended up with one. Not the storage capacity I wanted but the rep said she would call me when they get more in stock so I can get a different one. I ended up with my color though space gray. I have never done the waiting in line but it was a great time with some great people. I did preorder but changed my mind and wanted the plus. Gave my husband the 6. Best of luck to everyone waiting in line.
I had the 6 and the 5s in my hands this morning, I've got small
hands so the 6 was plenty big enough for me...
If my girlfriend asks, we never had this conversation
Just walked by the Apple Store in Soho, NYC...
Most of the people waiting on line, roughly 98% of them, and I'm not kidding, are ethnic Chinese. By the looks of them most aren't your casual iPhone users... I'm assuming some enterprising individual is paying them to buy up as many as they can to be shipped later back to China before they are officially available there and sell them for a decent mark up... Talk about capitalism in action... Lol

APPLE: Thank you Google for stealing our idea from the get go and creating that awesomely fragmented crap of an OS for your partner's phones. Thank you Samsung for always stealing from us because you know you can't be successful without stealing.

This is beyond me as well... I could understand joining the queue if there's like 50 folks in front of you, you know you have a shot and wait may not be that bad, but if people can't manage to stay on the floor where the actual store is and the line continues past the point where you can even see the store, why would you ever join that freaking queue, it's not that there's a chance that you'll get something let alone the time you'll spend standing in that line. Amazing, it truly is.

Wow, strong candidate for defensive post of the day right here.
And I love how people who feel this way forget that without Samsung and other OEM's success with bigger phones, there wouldn't be bigger iPhone 6's.
Who's stealing now?
Do this simple test.
1. Create a new email using the Apple mail app that comes with iOS.
2. Attach file....

Bigger than E.T.
At the 58th Street Apple Store in NYC, this is far bigger than the opening day of E.T. which I didn't attend but I passed by as a youngun and will never forget.
The upper left picture is of 58-59th Street on 5th from the street level- you can't really tell how many people there are.
The second picture is a bit closer and about 7 feet up. Now you get an idea of how many people in just this one section.
The third picture is 58th street (bet. 5th and Madison) from about 8 feet up, but not the whole block.
As of 1:30 p.m, the line extended to Madison from 58th to 59th, then across the street they started a new line from 59th North side Madison to Fifth.
The entire line was well-regulated by Apple employees, private security, and police. I'd say too well-regulated because they gave me a hassle for taking photographs.
Also, I didn't go there intending to take pictures. I was merely walking by and was stunned by the size of the crowd.

Ah, I see. iPhone not do what you want. Make custom apps to be more like Android...
Let's skip the whole "customization" e-penis extensions and discuss what the iPhone & Android can do OUT OF THE BOX.
