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 :p

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.

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.

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.

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