I'm keen on the 64GB grey one, I've had the iPhone 6 Plus just over a year now and although I do enjoy it, sometimes it's a bit bulky.

Was using my fathers 5c the other day and I enjoyed the smaller form factor.

Will be picking up the 64GB Space Grey for my mum, will be a nice upgrade from the 5 she is currently using, which currently has all sorts of weird bugs that haven't been resolved by reflashing the firmware and starting from scratch.

Vibration is beginning to go.

When someone calls her, it won't even register that it's being called. It will either go straight to voicemail, or ring and then go to voicemail.

Checked her Do not disturb settings as well to make sure they aren't affecting it, and they are all off.

No notification on the screen. Next thing you know she has a text saying this person has called.

Not a network issue, and not a sim card issue either.

The phone is going on four years old now. It's done it's time.

My wife has a 4S which seems to have slowed down a lot. Has complained a few times that the only upgrade options were all massive, so think she'll be pleased about this news.

64GB Silver for me, not keen on the bigger size of the 6s. The 5s is the perfect size for me and fits nicely just about into the back pocket of my running shorts.

Getting a 64Gb Gold for my mum. Already got her an iPad Air 2, Apple TV 4th Gen, so this will round of the Apple stuff and allow easy integration between all the devices.
Currently using a Samsung Galaxy Mini I think, and wouldn't want anything 6s/6sPlus size, so will suit her perfectly.

Missus' iPhone 5 is all but dead now so we'll be getting her an SE 64GB Gold to replace it.

I assume the tariffs will follow in the coming days?

I can see this selling in bucket loads. This could kill the ipod touch market stone dead.

I'll be getting one and I'm glad its got their flagship camera. I currently have a 6s and really don't like the size or slippery sides. My work phone is a 5s and every time I use it I miss the compactness.

I really don't need a larger screen as I don't browse or watch videos it's mainly for audio, camera and emails/texting. My iPad covers everything else!

80 quid extra for 48gb of storage on a phone packaged as a 'cheap' iPhone boils my wee. They really do need to make the base models 32gb.

 

[rare]

Tempted for a 64gb as my next phone as I quite like the smaller size, the only thing which I think is a missed opportunity is the resolution. should have bumped it to 720p.

It's almost like apple have been listening to my rants for the last year, this phone is exactly what I want top spec in a compact size I've never understood the fascination with larger phones!

Why didn't you buy a Z3/Z5 compact if you've been after a small phone for so long?

 

[The_Abyss]

Nice specs and better price, but I really like the size of the iPhone 6 so I won't be changing. Let's see what iPhone 7 brings.

Is 16gb still too small if I intend to shoot 1080p 120fps for no more than 10 seconds every now and then?

1 Minute of 1080p @ 60fps: 200MB from a quick web search so around 400MB for 120fps.

I think 16GB is too small full stop. With that amount of storage even an OS update becomes a problem. 32GB for an iPhone is the smallest possible size that could be considered.
