iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Photos and First Impressions

I am a heavy user however my 6 battery life is better than any other iPhone I have used (had them all) for eg I did not charge my phone last night went to sleep with 100% and only 30 minutes ago after using the device all day has it completely shut off. I do power cycles on a regular basis so that may have something to do with it?
You're probably right in your case. I have seen others get more than my 7 hours. I've done it all, returned the first device, done a clean install, been to the Apple Store and they've just said my battery is fine. To be honest, it is fine, but only *just*, for power use. I'm keeping in mind here that after a year or two, it will end up being a concern. Anyway, glad you guys have decent battery.

NY UNICORN WAS HIDING ALL ALONG!! This couldn't get any crazier. I contacted ups and tmobile and they sent the ups driver back to my house and he show me where he placed it. It was inside my swamp cooler unit. He opened the hatch and left it inside I could have never imagined it ever being in there. I'm so happy it's beautiful! Very wild but gotta tame him :).

Gold 128 :)

I hope you guys get it ASAP :) it's an amazing phone. I must add the charging is an issue. It takes 6-8 hours to fully charge the device from 1% to 100% I was reading online that Apple mistakenly added the wrong charger ac adapter when this device should use the IPad version of the charger
 
It's a very nice phone. Gold unlocked 6 plus. Steak last night.

My friend got the Iphone 6 Space Grey and the thing is beautiful. It sits comfortably in your hand, very smooth screen, picture quality is outstanding, and it is really quick on the internet and text messaging. I give a huge shout-out to apple, for making yet another great I-Device.:apple:
 
it CAN use an ipad charger but they still supply iphones with the old 5w. ipad's is 12w. people say they charge their pluses with the ipad charger in, like, 2 hours. instead of 3-4

Well, you know... First time I charged my iPhone 6, I have been keeping an eye at how long it took to charge a few percent. And that actually was very quick, much quicker than I had with my previous iPhone. Doesn't mean I really got an iPad charger, but for an iPhone charger it charges very fast. :p
 
While there are some very good things to say about the new iPhone 6 camera, I'm absolutely livid that the compression settings of the jpgs have been changed for the worse on the iphone 6.

Zoomed in, pictures are more smeared and oversharpened, compared to iPhone 5.

I sincerely hope there is a software fix soon - it would be great to have a toggle setting for user-defined jpg size and even RAW option.
 
Just got my Space grey iPhone 6. I don't play many games and shoot video, so opted for minimal 16 GB. The screen is beautiful, the phone is classy! Coming from iPhone 5, the screen is sharp, large and very nice. Put on very thin Hoco case and enjoying the phone! Calls are good and clear, no lags, speedy and camera is very, very good! I have Nikon p310 and big sensor D3300 and iPhone's pictures are stellar, especially low light ones. Safari and email are joy to read, pictures look great on this sharp, nice display.
 
Waiting on my 6 Plus—can someone who has one please post a screenshot of how group iMessage chats look in landscape? On the 5 it's completely ridiculous, with the QuickType bar and the chat participant names bar there is a tiny sliver for content… Hoping this looks a lot better on my new Plus!

I'm smiling right now, because I couldn't have said it any better than you. Battery definitely lasts longer than previous iPhones.

StoneJack, isn't this space grey a beautiful phone? Today I received a pull tab case with a middle flip on top to close it magnetically.

I hope they fix this soon. The picture quality is horrible.

I've got the same phone. I agree with everything you said. Especially the camera. I'm a musician and am now able to copy the sheet music with my 6, then port it to my iPad to read during sets. The blow ups are as good or better than my 5 was on a tripod with a timer.
I failed to mention the most important part. That is that I'm hand holding the six in fairly low light when I am copying my music. What I'm doing was not possible in any way with my 5.

Oh yes, it surely is. Battery life has been good for me too. When iPhone 5 had less 20% of battery by 5 pm, the iPhone 6 had sometimes even 60-70% still left! When i charge it at night, it has about 40% still left. I am very impressed and iOS 8.0.2 has been good for me, no issues.
 
I wonder how much battery life are people who complain about iP6 battery life getting from it? On my iPhone 6 it is the best battery life on any smartphone I have had me thinks. And I am fine with charging my phone every evening after moderate to heavy daily usage.
That statement is far from the truth..you must of not had many smart phones...
