DSR doesn't exist anymore?
Seems to be a lot of issues with the iPhone 6!
People keep on buying them though
And what exactly are the issues?

That'll probably be because the vast majority of people will have no issues. Like me

So, is it a jump forward from previous phones? Worth the £700 price tag?
I felt thoroughly ripped off with my last iPhone 5. Resisting the urge to upgrade my galaxy s4 with any of the new phones so far.
Worth it from an iPhone 4S. Can't comment on from a 5 of 5S.
I'm also debating if I should replace my S4 with the iphone 6. The last iphone I had was the iphone 4
How does the front and back camera compare to the Galaxy S4?

A huge step forward from my previous Moto G (but I'd argue iOS is a huge step forward from any Android phone) but far less so from the iPhone 5 or 5S.

I'll most likely hold on for the next HTC one H9.
That's if HTC are still in business by then.

There are plenty of camera comparisons out there that are worth viewing.

Anyone having similar issues?
Is it worth letting the battery go dead to try and recalibrate?

From what I've noticed my phone get really good stand by battery life, but usage really hammers it hard, and given the battery size vs screen it makes sense.

Wow, the iphone 6 battery is quite a lot smaller than the HTC one (just looked up the specs). I'll see if I can live with it. Down to 49% at the moment though.

Yet it manages to match and even surpass the HTC One in benchmarks.

The battery size is only 1 part of the picture. OS and Hardware power efficiency also come into it.

Those benchmarks only tell half the story, due to the smaller battery background tasks take a higher toll, e.g. syncing email is mostly using the radio, most phones have the same radio, so the battery size is going to mean a lot more.
Also if you look at the gaming benchmarks you see the battery size making more of an impact then anything else. Also keep in mind that most device are pushing a lot more pixels, need a lot more power for the backlight and so on. So when the screen on if the M8 and iPhone 6 are similar when the display is off the M8 will wreck it.
Apple does an amazing job of making a small battery last very long, and I doubt something like the Galaxy Alpha will come close (closest competitor). But for somethings are just out of the hand of the OS and are almost exclusive dependant on battery size.

Are you saying I'm wrong and in fact I'm getting more usage out of my iPhone?
Benchmarks do not equal real world usage.
Besides, I'm suggesting there may be a problem with mine, I'm not trying to talk badly of apple or anything.
Oh not at all, I was just pointing out how impressive it is that Apple can do so much from such a small battery
For some reason, after a few days of airplane mode usage (which gave stupidly good battery life). I've left airplane mode off for 2 days now and I'm getting great battery life.
8AM-12AM leaves about 20% from a lot of usage.
