iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Models Popping Up in China, Vietnam Ahead of September 19 Launch

[Black Magic]

Woah...that 6 plus is a jumbotron. I clearly remember smirking at some guy with a Note 3 in his shirt pocket & thinking what a show off jerk.

Now with my order of a 6 plus I'm thinking...rethinking... Eek is that thing too big? Seeing that shirt pocket picture hit close to home especially after smirking at that guy I saw.

You bought it for you. Screw what everyone else may think. Enjoy your device.

I want to upgrade my iPhone 4S, but think they are too big. I didn’t like the 5 series because of the weird screen size ratio, but now I’m considering to skip the 6 series as well. The 3,5” is still the perfect size for me.

Dem big screens!

and the weekend before Apple unveiled the two devices, a fully functional version of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 was shared by a Chinese user.

But wait! I was reliably informed by posters on these forums that that iPhone was a fake because the clock icon minute hand was too long!

I think that feeling you're having is foot in mouth.

I was with friends at the headlands yesterday. I saw someone taking pictures with an iPhone with the front facing camera. I then noticed the thick bands and realized it was an iPhone 6 (maybe the plus). My friends tried to convince me it was a Samsung, but I saw the Apple Camera app and the apple logo on the back. I offered to take their picture but he kindly said no, for obvious reasons. I don't think I'm crazy considering Apple has gone to the headlands many times for photo examples. Just thought someone may find that interesting. Maybe he works for Apple, maybe he's one lucky guy.

Those are fake.
There's only a mono speaker on them.

Go look at the apple site...there's only one speaker hole on those devices. The design change includes a pinhole mic.

the 6plus looks huge in the front shirt pocket

Run a benchmark!!!

 

[jlake02]

That irks me. Don't know why, but it does.

 

[ElZeus]

Why can they never post a side by side comparison the 5s :-\ ?

 

[oatman13]

The real question is... How much RAM does the 6+ have?

 

[phpmaven]

cuz there are two new "models" of the new iPhone? huh?



sarcasm?

Sheldon? Is that you?

 

[Xultar]

I am. I feel a little scratch that, a lot like a jerk.

 

[mac.cali]

Run a benchmark!!!

Yah, run the benchmark.

 

[Diode]

Wow the 5.5 is huge. Glad I stuck with the 4.7

 

[Dekema2]

By models I mean like a plastic/die cast mold model like many we've seen over the past months.

 

[fishmd]

Well good, finally a pic showing how big the 6+ really is. Remember people, it is longer than a Note 3/4, so yes, it is pretty darn big.

 

[Branskins]

The 5.5 does not look that much bigger than the 4.7. I'm excited!

 

[Sevanw]

The back of the new iPhones do not look nice at all. Those lines make the phone look really cheap. I'm gonna have to compare the 6+ and Note 4 in person. But right now it really doesn't look close. The Note 4 is becoming more and more appealing, in every way, over the iPhone. Still can't believe I'm finding a Samsung an appealing device.

 

[MacModMachine]

cant wait for my 6+....bye bye tablet....hello combo device

the 6plus looks huge in the front shirt pocket

So will it be HUGE or is that a smallish pocket? The 4.7" alternative is only 2cm "less huge" (tall) than the 5.5". 2cm is less than 1 inch. So it too would be sticking out of that pocket quite a bit.

Watch this video for a lesson in size perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEheh1BH34Q#t=86 On my iMac screen, VY Canis Majoris- largest known star in the universe- looks like it's about 2 inches tall. If I hold an iPhone 5s up to that same screen, it looks about twice as big as the biggest star in the known universe. Point? I wonder if the 6 or 6+ will even fit within the entire universe?

Or maybe the guy is just small wearing a shirt with small pockets?

One more time: the 6+ is about 2mm taller than U.S. paper currency. Is a $1 bill "HUGE"?

 

[NachoGrande]

Im so glad I went with the 6 instead of the 6+

 

[iSee]

Dang, that + looks big. Hope I didn't go for the wrong model.

 

[jlake02]

I'm glad you did too. My Plus will get here 1 order faster.
