That second picture posted is mine. I have the case but I wish I had the phone to go with it. I ordered at 12:15AM on Friday last week. The order detail page still says processing order. Has anyone received a shipment notification with tracking from Apple yet?
I ordered two 6+ sight unseen but, damned THATS a big cover! My wife was right -- she won't need her iPad mini anymore

If there truely is no rush, I would strongly suggest waiting a couple more days and viewing the sizes in hand for yourself. That's what I would have done but... I'm impatient
So 6+ for me. I figure I can always sell it if it's too big!
It's the pixel size not count that matters on sensors of the same size. pixel count is just a marketing ploy... My old nikon 6MP DSLR can produce much higher quality pictures than any P&S camera with a higher pixel count.
There's plenty of articles related to this topic. read this article... http://www.cnet.com/news/camera-megapixels-why-more-isnt-always-better-smartphones-unlocked/
My midnight blue iPhone 6 case should be here Thursday
wow thanks for sharing
The case says "Processing Items Available to ship: 2 - 3 weeks
Delivers: 02 Oct, 2014 - 08 Oct, 2014 by Postal Delivery"
I don't think I'll have the patience to wait that long. I'm either gonna let a friend get me a case from an Apple Store in London or buy any random case I can find and have shipped asap.
No, but tracking numbers have been generated.
According to my tracking number, my phone being shipped from the US so I'm guessing it won't be "shipped" until tomorrow or Thursday.
I wonder what Jony Ive's true feelings are about these cases, covering up his work.
I am sure he understands it is a sound business decision being able to make and sell cases for pennies on the dollar. But I still wonder how he really feels.

I did a similar thing: pre-ordered my iPhone 6+ on Friday, but with some trepidation as I'm still not sure whether it's just too big!
So I ordered a cheap case from Amazon, which arrived today. I've no idea whether it will fit snugly onto the phone itself, but I'm keeping it in my pocket (the normal home for my current iPhone 5) to see how it will be.
So far, seems like it will sit nicely in my trouser pocket - I've not noticed the case there while working, driving etc. Although of course this doesn't give any clues what the weight will be like.
But it's pretty big in the hand; would be great for surfing, watching video, and playing games - not so good for my usual one-thumb-on-screen activities such as typing. So I'm looking forward to trying out the one-hand mode thing...

Nope, it's not. But a bit tired of trying to explain it to people who even admit that they are no photo specialists, but then make completely silly statements as if they had a clue what they are talking about.
The same camera? The 6/6+ now have the same phase detection AF as my Canon EOS 70D - a 20 megapixel DSLR that is marketed towards the enthusiast photographer segment, with the phase detection AF being a major selling point. If Apple implemented this well, then it's a huge breakthrough.
But if you care so much about megapixel, I am sure you can buy some cheap chinese phone with a 40 megapixel camera. Enjoy your lovely noisy cropped pictures.
I think they count on their customers having somewhat of a clue, or at least on them being able to compare example pictures from various phones/models or read reviews from people who know what they are talking about.
Well there was the Apple bumper for the iPhone 4/4s... those were produced so it wouldn't completely cover up the phone. The same goes for the smart cover for the iPad.
Oh I had no idea the silicone cases weren't shipping yet because they're not ready. Just ordered myself a leather one for till the silicone one arrives.
That's what dictation is for.
Could be worth a try! Not sure if my colleagues I share an office with would agree though...
so many errors, so little time.
- its not the same camera for the past four 4 generations.
- while it may be the same lens as the 5s, the sensor (part of a camera) is different
- "pixel is pixel" is not true. bigger, hi-quality pixels is what are desired. this is why some high-end dSLRs have what appears to be a low pixel count, because their sensors are so good. lots of crappy little pixels generate noise.
- i doubt you need to blow up cell phone photos more than what 8MP allows for today. you arent shooting billboards on a cell phone.
- apple not catching up? who else had true-tone flash? real-time multiple-exposure composite merging? burst mode? dynamic-range panoramas? etc etc... apple's featureset when it comes to cams is usually at the top of the pack.
doom! DOOOM!! apple is DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!
midnight blue on iPhone 6 plus gold
That's the same combo I ordered for my GF. She loves the combo from the pics. I went Black/Black as usual.
