Ordered from car phone warehouse on Friday at like 8.30 am and got an email but never got an order confirmed email or anything (it's an upgrade) .. Spoke to live chat twice and they said all is well and email is on it's way but like 4 days later still no email? Reckon I've been fobbed off and it's not coming on Friday even though they're saying all is well?

I ordered from them at 8 on Friday and have just got a despatch email for 16gb 6+ despite being told I wouldn't get it until mid October by their web order team earlier...:D
 
Still, the big question is will they actually have any display models... I'm not going to go and buy one if I can't actually see it and play with it first...

So you got email today is that the first since Friday? Should I worry If I don't get one? Reckon Vodafone instore will have stock on Friday? :)

If you are putting this into an iPhone 6 and on 4G, you might tear through the data allowance. You may want to go for a 30 day rolling contract just in case, until you see what your data usage is before committing to a 12 month contract.

You could also take a look at Virgin. They have the following 30 day rolling contracts:

£10/month - 50 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB data
£12/month - 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB data

Virgin have some good prices, but unfortunately no 4G yet on any of the plans I believe.

Brad Molen, Engadget:

Both iPhones are thinner than their predecessor. Whereas the 5s was 7.6mm thick, the 6 comes in at 6.9mm, with the 6 Plus measuring a hair thicker at 7.1mm. I don't always subscribe to the "thinner is better" mantra, but it's a benefit in this case because larger iPhones wouldn't feel as comfortable if they had the same shape as the 5s. If I had to choose based on in-hand feel alone, I'd pick the 6 over the Plus. I can still wrap my fingers around the 6 just as easily as I could with the 5s (and its curved sides don't cut as sharply as the edges on the 5s), but the large-screened 6 Plus is... well, it's manageable.

Both the 6 and 6 Plus use an IPS Retina HD display, but the Plus is even more high-def than the 6. It has a screen resolution of 1,920 x 1,080, which means you'll get a pixel density of 401 pixels per inch. On the flipside, the 6 maxes out at 1,334 x 750, which translates into 326 ppi. (That's the same screen density as the 5s.) Both displays are sharp, but I do see some minor differences between the two when I look at them side by side. Specifically, the Plus' text and images are sharper, with no jagged lines whatsoever.

David Pierce/Nilay Patel (iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus), The Verge:

[iPhone 6 Plus] Huge phones get to have huge batteries, and the iPhone 6 Plus is a huge phone with a huge battery: I consistently got about two days of battery life from the 6 Plus in regular daily use -- slightly more than the day and half we got from the iPhone 6, and basically the same as the Note 3.

[iPhone 6 Plus] That aluminum feels quite nice, but it's also a little slippery, especially when you factor in the size of the phone and its rounded sides. The iPhone 6 Plus is the first iPhone that looks and works better in a case -- I've been using Apple's leather sleeve and it makes the phone easier to hold, evens out that camera bump, and hides the weird lines on the back.

[iPhone 6] There's something perfectly polished about the way it feels to use this screen. I've never felt so much like I was truly moving things around under my finger, manipulating icons and pictures by hand. It's organic and natural in a distinctly Apple way.

Walt Mossberg/Lauren Goode (iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus), Re/code:

[iPhone 6] And, despite the larger screen, all my apps -- by Apple and third parties -- just worked. None that I tested looked distorted or blurry. Apple says its App Store now offers 1.3 million apps, a new high.

[iPhone 6] In my tests, I found the iPhone 6's Wi-Fi speeds -- both downstream and upstream -- were roughly double those of the 5s, and about 25 percent faster than those of the Samsung Galaxy S5. But I saw little difference in LTE speeds, either on Verizon or AT&T.

[iPhone 6 Plus] Oh, and if, like me, you rarely get a full day out of your current iPhone's battery, this might excite you: In my tests, which involved setting the display brightness to 50 percent and cycling through my regular routine of apps and phone calls, the iPhone 6 Plus would last from early one morning until evening the following day. (Calls sounded great, as well.)

Jim Dalrymple, The Loop:

[iPhone 6] It is tough to reach the far top edge of the screen, but I can do it with a little stretch. It's easier to shimmy my hand up the phone and touch the far edge, if I need to, but to be honest, holding the iPhone in my left hand, there isn't much on the far right side that I ever need to touch.

[iPhone 6 Plus] The 6 Plus was awkward for me to use at first--it was kind of like using a smaller version of the iPad mini, but it was a phone. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of using it on an ongoing basis, but the larger screen eventually won me over.

[iPhone 6 Plus] I still can't imagine walking around with a device as big as the iPhone 6 Plus to my ear, talking on the phone. That would just look silly. I've said it about other devices this size in the past and my opinion on that hasn't changed. Maybe a Bluetooth ear piece would be a nice add-on for the iPhone 6 Plus.

David Pogue, Yahoo:

Inside, Apple has been up to its usual tightening and polishing. There's a new chip inside that Apple says is 25 percent faster. You wouldn't notice it without testing the old and new phones side by side. Apps, for example, pop open about a half-second faster on the new phone.

The Plus model has optical image stabilization -- the lens jiggles in precise motion to counteract the handheld movement of the phone itself -- that works supremely well.

Also on the Plus: When you're typing in landscape mode, there's so much extra space that Apple has thrown in some additional on-screen keys. On the left: buttons for Cut, Copy, Paste, Bold, and Undo. On the right: Punctuation keys and actual cursor keys--a first on the iPhone.

Darrell Etherington (iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus), TechCrunch:

[iPhone 6] New also to this generation is the all-metal back casing, which replaces the glass top and bottom panels with thin connecting seams instead. This makes for a more unified look when you turn the phone around, and something that gets closer to the unbroken single plane of the iPad mini and iPad Air's rear shell. The Space Gray version I tested benefits very much from this unbroken look, and the front of the device is no less impressive.

[iPhone 6 Plus] Touch Assist is the feature Apple created to help users deal with much larger devices, regardless of the size of their hands and digits. The iPhone 6 Plus leans on this especially, as it's impossible for anyone not in the NBA to reach their thumb across to the top opposite corner. I find it difficult to even reach across the other side of the screen, let alone the corner, when one-handing the device.

[iPhone 6 Plus] For most tasks, I find the iPhone 6 Plus to be a two-handed device -- but I also find that I'm absolutely fine with that. The 6 Plus is closer in usage style to an iPad mini, in my experience, albeit one that's pocketable and capable of full cellular voice communications.

I'm trying to get out of a habit of yearly
Upgrades and jump at smart points (like I do with Intel CPUs , )

Do you think iphone 6 will be good enough for 24 months?

Do any other 5s users feel this isn't a sufficient upgrade?
 
Pretty good indication of how much of the screen you can reach based on average hand size of different heights.

That 6+ looks quite nice in the hand, plus my hands are like big two big shovels. :D

It's more about the pocket size than anything.

I'm waiting to see both versions in the flesh before upgrading my 5S. My local 02 shop will have them in stock this Friday.

Plus I've got an Apple shop too.

I'll be doing plenty of testing! :p

Indeed, I'd worry that I might snap the phone when sitting down if it's in my jeans pocket!

That's what put me off. Made the template with cardboard to actual dimensions, put it in my pocket and it stuck out and dug in when i sat down. Would have to remove it from my pocket to sit down...

I showed people at work and one of the girls said it wouldn't be a problem, because they rarely have pockets and put things in their bags/purse... Which is completely fair enough, most girls would do this so wouldn't be a problem at all.

So there you have it, the iPhone 6+ is for girls.
