Final FNB payment for my iPhone 5 went off today… as tempting as the 6 is I'll probably wait for the 6s.

I have moved back to Apple after many years, to give them a try again. The last iPhone I had was the iPhone 4.

So got my hands on a iPhone 6 yesterday, busy coming terms with it all.

Can someone offer any useful tips or advice to aid me in my switch?

Open the Tips app, really great tips there which sets iPhone apart from the rest.

The size was basically the only reason I didn't buy one in the past. I think a lot of people wanted a bigger screen.

I called it. Phones are fashion accessories for many people these days and iPhone remains in that sense the ultimate. Every oom and his boep rocks a Samsung S something.

Why a mini ?

I think the iPhone 6 is a decent size. The other iPhones look like kiddy toys

I prefer a phone that fits into my shirt pocket, iPhone 6 just a bit too long,mabe if they reduce the next one's top bezel by half.I do not know why Apple loves large bezels.

I'd be prepared to wager good money that after a week with a 6 you wouldn't look back!! In fact I'm almost prepared to guarantee it!!

I've tried. I have to adjust my grip too much to easily reach the top left corner (held in right hand).

I'd wager that I type faster with one hand than most with two. :p I can't give that up, which is why I upgraded from a 5s 16GB to a 5s 64GB.

Luckily the keyboard isn't situated in the top left corner!

Indeed, but other buttons are. Notification Centre swipe down, etc. With a 5s I can access everything without changing the grip I can type fastest with.

Got me one of these newfangled iPhone 6s, after 3 very happy years with an S3. Only question right now is - is the home button supposed to feel so, well, odd? I never know if I've pressed it half the time. I'll kinda push, nothing happens, then push harder and it works, are they all like that?

As far as I can tell it has a touch sensor and a press sensor. If you double tap it without pressing it in, it shifts the screen down. If you press it in twice you get the task manager. Was weird for me as well, but I am already used to it now.

My podcast stops playing after a while, then I have to wake up my screen then it starts again. I have an fm transmitter to listen to it in the car, and don't really want to fiddle with it to get it to play when I am driving.
