i've got the 6 in my hand and as you can see its way bigger than the old phone. i'm thinking the Plus may be overkill for a lot of people who ordered them.

iFixit now has teardowns of the 6/6+, links on the front page.

iFixit

They both get a 7 out of 10 for repairability, which is better than I expected since thinner devices often glue many components.

A8 Processor is now made by TSMC. Ouch. As they say, don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Question; I'm trying to upgrade my 16GB 5s is IOS8. I don't have enough space - 5.8gb required to update.
If delete some of my music/ apps and other items of my phone to get enough room for the update, will the iOS8 use this 5.8g permanently or is it a temp space needed for install only?

Thanks

it was good the first 4 hours of use, now its a paperweight, shows invalid sim, no sim, and over 8 hours of calling time when I have only called for 2 mins. Havent even had it 24 hours yet. Last phone was good for 30000 hours.

Edit: fixed for now with a different sim. Has anyone had this issue before? Used half a dozen before with no issues.

If you have an iPhone 5 or 5s the experience is almost the same except for the bigger screen.

I love the iPhone 6 though. It's a pleasure to use.

And I ended up keeping the gold lol.

Quick and easy process from reserving last night then picking up at 11am at metro town. They had two lines there one for people who are going to buy the phone/upgrade and one for people who reserved. It literally took me 15mins from being in the line to getting my reserved phone purchased. I'll have to say the phone is awesome great build quality and great in the hand. Hopefully getting my case from Amazon soon since the only downside it's really slippery. Missed iOS love all the apps and the phone just works no lag or stuttering. One thing I noticed is seems like most of the apps are blown up or increased in size like the developers did a weird upscale or sone thing. Hopefully with updates it fixes these issues other then that phones great!

Why not? I'm actually looking at 16gb. Is there something I should consider?

The new iOS 8.0, which comes standard on the new iPhones, takes up approximately 5.7GB of storage space, leaving you less than 10GB for your personal applications, photos, music, notes, etc.

I personally would buy a used 64GB after the wave has died down, or hope that Apple's next minor update will reduce the size of the update.

Does apple usually have any black friday deals?

Looking at the prices for a 64gb 6 plus, it's $849 in the USA ($953 after current exchange rate of 1.1225) vs $969 here. The savings are not that significant.

Although I'm not in a rush to buy, I was planning to go down to Oregon in Nov to take advantage of tax-free and save even more, but also do some shopping.
