Poll: iPhone 6...

[Cavallino]

It looks crisp on the 5 and 6+ but on the 6 it looks "blurrier".
Is this because the DPI is the same on the 6 and 5 but the 5 is a smaller screen?

But it still doesn't make sense!

First impressions coming from an iPhone 4 are :
1) I can live with the bigger size
2) It light.
3) It's fast. I press things and they happen as quickly as I'd like them to, and it'll run lots and lots of apps at the same time without slowing down.

There's a lot of apps that are not optimised for the new screen res, but the stretchy things seems to work OK.

I appear to have broken Dropbox. Re-enabled Camera Upload and it just crashes immediately.

I think I'm gonna keep mine after all. What's the best way of selling my 5? Apple or eBay? £190 from Apple which is probably what I'd end up with after fees on the bay.

^lots of sync programs are broken at the moment due to iOS 8.

Pretty much every cloud backup app is broken atm. I don't get what the developers are on they've had enough time.

Edit: don't ebay at least with Apple you won't get scammed (unless you're buying one ).

I quite like the gel case. If I wasn't mid contract I would be all over this. Very jealous!

 

[Cavallino]

Is that the 6Plus CR? And where did you get the gel from?

Im tempted to keep the 6 Plus..

Alien Blue update is out.

I think I read somewhere that Dropbox wasn't functioning correctly with iOS8 at the moment.

That is indeed the plus

I believe the gel case and screen protector came from amazon. The screen protector is a little on the small side, but the case seems to fit very well.

It's fine on the iPad air

Dropbox that is

Really want to get hold of one asap. I wonder if those mobile stalls in the centre of shopping malls may have them...

Dropbox Camera Upload & Carousel app are both fixed now, make sure you're up to date.

Loving the 6. I think I'd like the 6 plus as a device, but not as an everyday phone.

 

[MagicBoy]

Apparently it was fixed a couple of days ago. Praps it wasn't tested on an iPhone 6?

 

[Guest2]

I'm getting more used to the 6. 240fps slow mo video is great as is time lapse.

Battery life is the big one for me so far.

When I picked up the phone today at about 13:30 is had just over 60% battery. I have restored an icloud backup (~3gb) and been playing around with it most of the day. Setting up accounts, testing a few things like geekbench, games, photos and videos along with using apps like facebook.

It still has 36% battery. That's a lot better than my 5 battery life from memory

Just read this article http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2014/09/19/iphone-6-review/

The 'reach-ability' feature is crude but seems to work ok - just double tap (not press) the home button to reach the top of the screen. It half the screen down

Build quality is amazing and its now sitting in a nice transparent case i bought on ebay that seems to fit really well. Waiting for my full body screen protector to arrive now.

Things i like about the IP6

- Build Quality
- Touch screen is very sensitive
- Typing feels more snappier
- Size is pretty much the same size as a Samsung S4

 

[Guest2]

with the lack of screen protectors I'm wondering how to protect the screen until then

I ripped both off in the Apple shop

Gorilla glass 3 is pretty tough you know

General likes from me -

Battery
Speed
Better camera & video
Coming from a 5 I love the fingerprint scanner. No more stupid 8 digit password all the time (required by work security policy)

 

[MagicBoy]

I can't see the need for overpriced ugly sticky back plastic (aka screen protectors) unless you've got really sharp keys or pockets lined with sandpaper. In four years I only got a couple of tiny scratches you can barely see (via colour shift) from keys/coins on the iPhone 4, which has been unprotected from day one.

 

[MichaelAwkward]

I can't help but feel if they'd redesigned and updated the 5S in the same style as the 6 and 6 Plus, it would have been my perfect phone.
