As usual, apple are keeping tight lipped!

I've heard September 9th for unveiling and a week or so after that to get hold of one.

My 4s is nearly three years old, and feeling very tired! It's had the lock button replaced and a considerable section of the motherboard (if that's the right name) due to a charging issue. The home button requires a whack and the lock button has failed again (although I have jammed some paper in the inside of the phone which has sort of fixed it! The battery has been changed and the speaker hardly works  :laugh:

Despite this - I'd have nothing else! I'll be ordering one ASAP!


Trying not to listen too much to the rumours as it's mostly (if not all) just speculation).

Just spend 30 mins on Macrumors. Latest is curved glass, thinner, 4.7 or 5.5 (at a later date), potential NFC, updated A8 CPU, more sensors, obviously Touch ID improvements. Power button moved to side.

Since when? They are on a 12 month product cycle refresh. Hardly a short time after.

I usually buy the new one every 2 years but I've just had to buy a 5s as my 5 died prematurely :( no tasty new phone for me this time.

Stuck in the apple ecosystem and can't move, so sticking with this. Have had a 3GS and a 4S. Decided to wait for 6 before upgrading.

Don't think I'll bother with the "phablet".

Most people dont get them the 1st day and usually in a few months time, 12 months is not a long time to have a phone

Agree. i have had my iPhone5 for nearly 14 months (recently replaced under warranty thou) and am starting to fill the need for a new phone. The deal i have ay the moment is damn good (2gb dada unlimited text and minutes for £15ppm) so expect i will buy a iPhone6 sim free :)

Can't wait for the 6, 5 is nearly 2 years old, and can't wait to get off EE!

You can never trust the rumours, I don't think I've ever known one to be true!

Really? Parts leaks are pretty accurate. Feld & Volk have assembled an iPhone 6 from the spare parts and it boots to the connect to iTunes screen now.

So how about some feedback about your newly acquired 6's ?

I am still undecided on whether to get 5s or a 6 . It will be bought sim/contract free so about £250 difference !

I haven't seen and handled a 6 either as the nearest Apple store is 40 miles way , we do have one about 3 miles way but the town is so SH1T that we don't go into town at all .

How does the 6 compare to the 5s ? Would you go back to a 5s ?

Is it really worth the outlay ?

Just got mine yesterday as a company phone, its very light! screen seems a lot sharper and the OS seems to be more snappy and responsive. Still need to test out the camera.

I went from a 5 16GB to a 6 64GB. Me and the wife both needed new phones and for the price difference in buying it new, I never considered the 5S, to be fair.

I think the 6 is better in every way, but it should be at that price

The weight is one thing that irritates me as it pulls my shorts down with a phone and wallet in the pockets  :rolleye:

Having owned 3G, 4, 4S, 5, 5S and now 6. The 6 is by far the nicest phone out of the bunch. I'd recommend one over the 5S every time.

Post by: TomGTI on October 30, 2014, 01:13:15 pm
I'm due an upgrade now, I've got a iPhone 4S and had a 4 before this so fancy a change not not sure whether to get a 6 or a SAMSUNG S5
Title: Re: IPhone 6....
Post by: Degudodger on October 30, 2014, 04:18:05 pm
Having played with the 6 plus i much prefer the screen size of the 6 however i find it too thin but the Apple leather case makes it easier to handle.
Title: Re: IPhone 6....
Post by: wigit on October 30, 2014, 08:39:05 pm
really like mine but agree on it being to thin and a bit too slippery so a case is needed
Title: Re: IPhone 6....
Post by: Deako on October 30, 2014, 09:24:13 pm
I've got a tiny thin spigen case on mine. 0.4mm. It's barely there.
