There's nothing wrong with starting a comparison thread- and I think that's a great idea to have one.

RAM and battery size. Both seem a little under whelming.

we know that both models have 1GB of RAM, and the battery size for the iPhone 6 is 1810mAh. The larger iPhone 6 Plus boasts a 2915mAh battery

Battery life alone is why I will never go back to using a smaller phone. I'll admit that sometimes using a 5.5 inch screen with one hand can be awkward at times, but having my phone last for 3 days without seeing a charger is worth it

Went to check out the new phone and I'm bummed it feels lightweight and flimsy. Might have to get a 5S.

If I go to an Apple Store just to check out the display models, I shouldn't have to bring my battle gear to get in, should I? The chaos should have died down by now?

I walked in at lunch and there were no issues getting in to take a look. The chaos was reserved for those stuck in line.

You want an iPhone 6+. The iPhone 6 won't pull off that shot.

It's important to remember how significant OIS is, and why there's such a delta between the 6 and 6+ in photo quality. It matters even more when you start to talk about low-light photography.

So it looks like the 6+ is in really short supply. Based on my reservation number I estimate they got around a dozen for all of Canada in my model for launch.

Bell is estimating shipping in 6-8 weeks for all + models.

Lol the time lapse video feature is fun. Haven't tried out the slow motion one yet.

So, I'm guessing I'll be out of luck if I try and pick one up from Chinook tomorrow? Never tried to buy a brand new device, how long until there's regular supply?

That's awesome; I'd have a lot of fun with that.

I like the slow motion thing on my wife's 5. The kids love doing funny runs/jumps/etc. in slow motion and it gets everybody laughing. I want to do a burn out in my Mustang with the camera on the back wheel in slow motion...maybe I'll do that this weekend haha.

OK, so the 6+ is comically huge. I mean, why didn't they just re-brand the iPad mini? Problem is, I would like all of the features of 6+, just not the size. Might park myself into a 5s for a year and wait for the next revision as I'm ready to be done with my 4s because it's slow, hard to hear phone calls with, and rough around the edges.

Oh the first world problems of it all!

one of my girls at work just got one. I'm not sure if it's the plus or not but it's pretty nice. Lighter, thinner, and more smooth edges than my 5s.

I'll wait a few months before I get one for all the glitches to get through the first ones.

I was up at 1am like a loser and they didn't have any available for pickup and the shortest ship time was 4-6 weeks. By getting rid of the 32gig models they convinced a lot of people to drop the extra $100 and go 64.

I liked this tweet about the 6+

Quote:
The 6 Plus should be a DELIBERATE choice: high entertainment consumption &amp; content creation. The 4.7 is a good default.
- @ihnatko
The 6+ is comically large, but if you're looking to do work on it, take photos with it, display photos with it, watch movies, write music etc. it's a very attractive option. If you're mainly using it for communication and need it to stay out of the way I see how it wouldn't be as impressive.

The videos of people lining up for iPhones can be funny, but this one is just sad.

Question…

I have a fido reservation for a 6+ but it looks like I won't get one for awhile. I am currently month to month and negotiated a new 2 year deal to qualify for a full subsidy for the same $/mo. I have the interaction ID for the plan negotiated.

Can I reserve through Apple store and have them start the new contract at the store if I give the Apple store employee my Fido interaction #? Does the cost of the phone go on my Fido bill or do I have to pay the subsidized price in store?
