iPhone 6

[bwana]

How long does it take historically to get the iPhones to the shops after the event?

I'll be passing through UK probably next week and I want to play with them

Last time the 5s was released in the UK on the same day as the US - 20 Sept - which was 10 days after the event. The year before (iPhone 5) was 9 days.

Sweet. I should be transiting through Heathrow in a few days and back a week later. They might just make it to the shelves at the same time

Funny thing is, I picked up a sparkly new 5S today for my wife who hates big phones and wanted a 5S before the new bigger ones come in. I told her we'd be lucky to see them before the end of the year anyway.

She could have waited and saved a pretty penny.

That's right. They don't get saved anywhere on the phone. So it's also not an ideal scenario if you want to save whatsapp received images. But as you say, they're often not of a nature that you really want to save anyway. It's more an ephemeral sort of medium.

Nothing worse than when that naughty pic gets sent to a group chat only to be displayed On the appletv when the in-laws are over because it shared on iCloud

You sound like you speak from experience.

Yeah, but it'll take ages for the prices to come down and her iPhone 4 is running like a dog with a broken leg.

Some rumers that it will only have a 8 mp camera.The iPhone had a 8 mp camera since the 4s.If it is a 8 mp camera it will have to be a hell of a camera.A well we will know in half an hour.

I can't believe this. Stupid Apple. This demonstrates everything that is wrong with them.

Watching on ATV, very start and stop. 2 phones 6 and 6 plus. look like the leaked pics

 

[sand_man]

Pixels: 1334 x 750 and 1920 x 1080

 

[koeksGHT]

Such a fail

 

[sand_man]

The 6 Plus has 185% more pixels than the 5S.

 

[sand_man]

The 6 is 6.8mm thin, the 6 Plus is 7.1mm. That's compared to 7.6 on the 5S. These are THIN phones.

Lots of iPad cues on the 6 Plus UI.

 

[sand_man]

The homescreen can work horizontally too. Heck, even the keyboard has a bunch of new buttons in landscape.

So much fail with the stream.

1. Doesn't stream to PC's (workaround here - http://www.amongtech.com/apple-september-9-iphone-6-keynote-live-stream/)
2. Constantly stops and starts. Jumping around between shots.
3. Some eastern lady speaks. English and Chinese (I guess) at the same time.

This sucks, Apple, even on the iPad.
