No I think this dude has some fake or something.
This is the hands-on video from the Macrumors guy after the keynote
https://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/09/hands-on-iphone-6-versions/
That was the thing that first excited me. Then I remembered that I take 5 pictures a year!
strange indeed ... looks a lot better with the smaller icons if you ask me
It's an option which can be enabled under display settings.
Scroll down a little here: http://www.apple.com/iphone-6/display/ - Display Zoom
Thanks, that's good to know. Another poster said it is an option under settings.

ah okay cool! i am surprised apple is giving such an option
now what happens if you have the last row filled up though? will they be thrown on the 2nd page messing up the layout of that page?
I usually don't scream "fake", but this one is quite clearly a fake. Why does he hide the phone to unlock it? And then the stupid "We could answer your questions, but we won't, because of reasons!" nonsense.
It probably is a new feature in iOS8, but I thought by now we would've read about it from the beta testers as a new feature.
Oh well, tomorrow iOS8 and Friday iPhone 6, we will see.
Sigh.. Total self promotion, and little to no information was shared outside of the available photos and press material.
Seriously feels like a "me first" video, and I love (as I expected) that they are monetizing it on their YouTube channel. Also loved the shameless plug to sell cases sales too.

Don't know the answer to this, but that's exactly what would happen on my old jailbroken device with extra icons/rows, when I would backup my phone, and then un-jailbreak and restore. Icons were thrown onto a new page.
Can someone with one of these early phones please, for the love of God, run a God-forsaken geekbench so we can finally put the question of RAM to rest? Or is Apple forcing them all to keep it a secret?
I made a cardboard 6+ before I ordered mine to make sure it wasn't too big to fit in my pockets. It's fine.
I went with the 6 this time, but the more I think about this as an overall general use device, and not a phone, the more I am liking the 6 plus.
And with a their watch being able to show me notifications, which means less taking my phone out of my pocket, this makes it even more appealing.
But at this point I am too impatient to cancel and wait a month+ for a plus!

My pre-order is a Plus and I'm going to wait and see this thing in hand before I make a final decision, but that thing looks like it might be just a bit too big for one handed use for me. Hoping it works out, but it looks like the guy would have a hard time hitting icons on the far side of the screen while using it one-handed.
Shame, don't really like either now, doesn't look too great.
Also at first I was convinced the iphone 6 in the first video was the iphone 6 plus.
They are both just crazy massive.
Envy the 128gbs though.

Interesting that there is not an extra row of icons as the official photos suggest.

The iPhone 4 design wow'ed me. The iPhone 5 design wow'ed me. The iPhone 6 design did not. And hopefully just a coincidence to think that it is likely the first iPhone that did not get Steve's final OK.
It is a matter of taste and maybe people love this design over any other. I on the other hand don't think it is their best. But I am buying it anyway for the increased screen size, thinness, and other specs.
Have you held it? Because I ordered my screen protectors and a temporary case (until Lifeproof gets theirs out) and when holding it in my hand, it feels great and no where nears as big as I thought it would be.
Unlike Samsung's Note series, which are very wide, the 6 Plus still fits great in the hand (again, basing it off my case). Which is a 3mm think micro case.
You might have tiny hands, I don't know. That said, my tiny 5'3" wife ordered the Plus too and held the case I bought in her hands, she immediately loved it. She's ditching the Moto X, which she said was the best feeling phone since her iPhone 3GS, but she loves the way the 6 Plus rests in her hand, again, unlike the Note series which caused her hand to be spread out and made it difficult to hold on to (yes, I had a Note 3 too).
