My very first call/message on my brand-spankin'-new iPhone 6 was from my mother in law. Kinda taints the whole magical experience. :p

Space Grey 64gb 6+

I must say this is Apple's slickest looking phone but the design does not factor in why I get iPhones. I absolutely love the size though it is almost overwhelming in the Khomo wallet case that I got for it. Almost. Besides the size (I have been envious of Note owners for a while now) I love the battery life. After using it all day, a little more than usual, it is still at 75%. Normally by this time my iPhone 5 would be under 50% and I had to charge it every night. I am optimistic it will work better than the iPhone 5, the worst Apple product I've owned.

How many of you think a case is necessary for the 6 as I have a 5c at the moment and never use a case on it and love not using one and I really don't want to when I get my 6, whats you guys opinion?

I have been using my 4.7" six naked for a couple of weeks. The first week completely naked the last few days with a Skinomi on the back. Same difference though. Deffinately the only way to go. Either way it is a joy to handle. I've had no problems.

It will definitely take some getting used to the size, but I think I will love it. I'm a girl and mostly carry my phone in my purse, I don't have an ipad and I don't talk on the phone all that much so I think it fits my needs perfectly. I feel a little funny playing around with it at work, its the farthest thing from inconspicuous. I think feeling a little self conscious about its size will wear off as I get used to it.

the display is AMAZING. I feel like i'm touching the content directly beneath my finger tips, and not through a slab of glass. Can't wait to play with it some more after work![/QUOTE]

Ha first time iphone user, I heard apple folks were stiffs, but those last few sentences were funny and reminded me of Seventh grade, But I was not playing with my phone. :)
 
Can anyone recommend a temper glass screen cover? I had one on my 5S which covered the full screen, however I almost bought one for my 6 from bodyguardz, but there is a 4mm gap around the edge where the screen is at its weakest! Just doesn't compute...

I'm using an Invisible Shield Glass.

Yes - it doesn't go edge to edge.. but it has a lifetime warranty and it's better than the other options currently.

Thats great, my dad has just got a 6+ and it doesn't feel a slippery to me as everyone says so I think ill run without a case on my 6. Cheers

Saw one in the flesh for the first time properly today.

DAMN it's pretty. I mean last time I kind of saw one, but I didn't take a moment to appreciate it.

It really is gorgeous - so smooth!

One of the most beautiful phones I've ever seen, even if it's not perfect IMO :)
 
For those of you who ordered your phone online from Apple.com. How long did it take you to receive your phones and what types of phones did you order? Thanks for the info in advance!
 
wasn't a fan of the white/silver.. but it starting to grow on me.. either that or just frustrated the space grey is made out of unicorn tears and still impossible to find! :\

haha, yeah to be honest I really didn't like the white stripes either or the sticking out camera, but the phone overall just looks SO sleek that I find I quickly forget those details :)
 
I am very happy with my iPhone 6 Plus!

It's definitely a two-handed device, but I welcome the very large screen and bigger battery (that lasts much longer than my iPhone 5).

It's easy on my eyes, because I can hold it further away from my face without focusing too hard.

It's pretty much replaced the iPad mini for me (which I got because the iPhone 5 screen was just too tiny). It's like an iPad in my pocket!
 
After 2 trips to an apple store, I finally decided on the plus. Initially I thought it was too big but for someone who carries the mini and the 5s with them every place they go...this may be the answer. I'm viewing the plus as my mini mini.
 
I purchased my iphone 6 plus 2 days ago. I pre ordered the iphone 6 and used that for about a week but wasn't really happy with the battery life. I wasn't sure if I wanted the big screen of the plus. I decided to try out the plus and I love it. If your contemplating going from a 6 to a 6 plus I recomend doing it. You'll get used to the screen size. It's such a joy to type on! And absolutely beautiful.
