Do you not realise how painful it is watching portrait videos?

Do yourself a favour-film something in portrait mode, then, film the same scene in landscape mode.

Tell us which one you think looks far more loaded with detail, natural and (above all) interesting.

Oh, you needed more detail in a 30 second video of a line? Hahaha

"Painful" seems a little drastic. Get over it.
 
9:30pm last night at Tyson's Corner Apple in Virginia. 100 people in line

lol, call me an Apple fanboy, but anyone else wondering how good the next series of night-time-waiting-in-line-pics will be with the new iPhone 6/6 Plus?

:apple:
 
I just don't get it. I guess it's the thrill of the hunt... I pre ordered mine and I get to wait here in the comfort of my own home and have someone bring it to me.
 
they should block the ability of recording videos vertically on the iphone.

Agreed.

Photos is bad enough, but watching people film things with their phone held vertically makes me want to ask them if they like the next film they see at the cinema to be in the same format! :D
 
OK this keeps getting better. He just went inside and then came back out telling us that Apple will be out in 20 minutes and if there is any commotion "I'll delay this whole thing by one hour. And if at that time I'm not satisfied, I'll delay it by another hour. And after that we'll call this whole thing off". This guy is a giant dick.

I tried to get it on video but I was a little late. Only caught the end of it.

LMBO!!!!! He is out of conTROL!!!

You're seriously trying to argue that portrait ("vertical") photos are bad? Portrait and landscape... you use them for the appropriate occasions. Photos are not video.
 
Huntington beach store.

I'm not trying to argue anything.

I just think that portrait pictures taken with a mobile phone don't look right.

Take a step back and use landscape, it's a much nicer picture.

If there's too much in a landscape picture, you can easily crop it out, you can't do the same the other way round.

It's just my personal opinion at the end of the day, but I think portrait looks horrible.

Our eyes don't see things that way, why take pictures that way?
 
AT&T store Hilton Head Island had donuts, chips and water out for those in line.

Super nice of them.
