Hello, I was wondering what the biggest letdown for people is with the iPhone 6/6 Plus, from the seeing it in the Keynote and whatnot.

1. Pricing.
2. Huge top and bottom bezels.
3. No sapphire display.
4. If the rumor about lag on i6+ is true then I'm out.

Inclusion of just 1 GB RAM. Was that done to increase battery life? But since the resolution has increased and new kind of multi-tasking expected in future versions of iOS, I believe we will see more tab and app refreshes.
Geekbench screenshot of iPhone 6 says 1 GB RAM. But let's see if 6+ has 2 GB or not.

You can always buy 5S at cheaper price.
They hit all the points I was expecting, except the Sapphire glass. I'm a little disappointed with the news post today that says the Sapphire glass would have been on the 6 and 6+ except that they were just 2 weeks behind schedule.
OIS would have been nice on the 6 but it was rumoured long ago that it would would only be on the 5.5 phone so I was expecting that it was only on the Plus.

What's this about lag on the 6 Plus?
Also, I know the bezels are still big but there's less space around the Touch ID button on the new iPhone. The sides aren't too bad.
That spider web antenna band design on the back looks ugly. Far cry from the clean look of 4/4S and neat tri-color band of 5/5S.
Good thing I'll be covering it with a case (whenever a well designed case is out)

1)No 32 gb option (would probably have gotten a 128 if they would have priced different)
2) Improvements to screen to allow better outside viewing
3) no mention of speaker updates.. I really want to see some significant speaker improvements.
Overall I'm happy since I'm upgrading from the 5

I was hoping for a 5 inch display and 5.5. I think if we had the same choice as Samsung customers with android had. Not as many ppl would have been on the fence and stressed on which phone to choose. I myself went with the 4.7 display. But up until when preorders, i almost ordered the bigger size.
After the rumours I was hoping for a sapphire screen which didn't scratch, meaning I no longer needed to worry about keys and phone in the same pocket, but I guess that will wait for iP7
Dealbreaker = RAM
Would have been nice:
Sapphire glass
Better quality loudspeaker
Trimmed bezels and a smaller home button
Thicker casing so that the camera didn't protrude
Half-priced 32GB storage option

Keys and coins cannot scratch gorilla glass, they are softer. They might cause those microscopic scratches in oleophobic coating (which are barely visible, even with the right angle).
Sapphire wouldn't help with those because that screen would also have oleophobic coating.
