iPhone 6 thread.

[Gareth]

erm yeah, perhaps I won't go for the 6+

 

[Gally]

The G3 is 5.5". Felt great in hand.

 

[Ray Gin]

4.7" will do me just fine....

 

[_Tom]

5.5 really isn't that big. I'd have one for sure. My nexus 4 was 4.7 inch which a little small imo but then most of you are used to a small screen anyway.

 

[MarkCup]

WTF is 4.7 inches or 7.9 inches? Are there special Apple rulers for working out how big they are?

Since when are non-decimal measurements decimalised?

 

[MarkX]

Since when are non-decimal measurements decimalised?

Americans do though

 

[MarkCup]

I wonder how many of them see the irony in them measuring 0.7 of one inch. Idiots.

[Gareth]

^ just done that, I'm pretty certain the 6+ is too big.

 

[Gally]

Go into a shop and look at a G3. Why cut out a piece of paper, totally different when looking and holding a phone.

Just printed it and not sure if settings are wrong but my current iPhone is much bigger than the suggested 5.

[_Tom]

My nexus 5 is less than 1cm shorter than a iphone 6+ if that is the case.

I have and its still wrong!

 

[MarkCup]

It's not. If the mm dimensions on Apple's website are correct it's 20mm taller than the Nexus 5.

 

[_Tom]

It's not. If the mm dimensions on Apple's website are correct it's 20mm taller than the Nexus 5.

Ah ok. That print out is wrong then.

 

[-Ally-]

The templates I printed match exactly the dimensions on apples site so it must be your printer scaling it wrong.

 

[Gareth]

I have and its still wrong!

Make sure you print it to size in the print options.

 

[Owen92]

I'm 99% certain I'm going to upgrade to a 64gb 6 from my 32gb 5. Nothing else on the market appeals to me.

 

[Deeg]

I'll likely go for a 64GB 6 at upgrade time.

A 128Gb phone though, madness. But the uplift in price from a 64 kinda of makes it worthwhile, even if you won't use it.

The 6+ just seems too big to me, but everyone has different wants / needs, and it's clearly the way phones are going.

Why have they done away with the 32GB? I would have thought that would have been the most popular capacity handset?

 

[celicaturbolly]

You would think with how modern Apple should be that they measure in inches, just seems so old fashioned ( I know that tv's and other screens also measure in this size ). I would of thought they would have moved on to mm or cm[SUP]2[/SUP]

 

[_Tom]

My printer was shrinking the pics. The 6+ is huge! lol! The 6 is pretty much bang on the same size as my nexus 5.

 

[eugegall]

Make sure you print it to size in the print options.

Worked. Thanks mate.

6 for me.

 

[Gareth]

Yep, 6 128GB for me, wasn't going to, but hey ho.

The 5S was the first time i upgraded from 16 to 32gb and still have 8gb free. I will be getting the 64 this time but why the f**k does anyone need 128 lol?

Lots of 1080/240?

 

[aucky]

I would use it. I'm currently using iTunes Match to hold most of my music because 64Gb doesn't cut it.

Not sure whether to go to 128gb or not because my iPad is 64Gb

 

[Gareth]

I'll use it, similar to my iPad Air 128GB, for £80 its doubling the capacity.

 

[N0ddie]

I can see the point in 128Gb for an iPad. We went 128Gb on our Air as we can fill it with movies. On a phone though you aren't really gonna do that are you? Though the bigger screen on the 6 plus might be big enough to watch on now?

You can calibrate the screen to actual size.

Deffo going 64GB 6 in Space Grey after looking at my cutout of the 6+.

Who knows, in 1-2 years time when my 6 becomes 'the norm', I may go for a '6S+' or the like, but who knows.

 

[aucky]

If I worked at a desk and carried my phone in a suit jacket pocket I'd consider the +, but it's just too big for daily trouser pocket carrying!

 

[Danny133]

Are both phones full HD 1080p?

 

[brisa4984]

we can pre order this on contract from friday?

carrier plans out tomorrow then surely????

 

[MarkCup]

Screen or recording?

Screen wise the 6+ is and the 6 isn't instead being, err, 750.

Ah okay.

That's my only gripe and maybe i might have to get a 6+

They're also American.

 

[Dan@SJM]

EE have said pre orders from mid day on Friday. And pricing will be released that morning.

 

[welshname]

I know people have already pre-ordered one from EE

 

[Ricardinho]

Will EE be charging a premium as they have the wifi calling i presume? They always seem the most expensive
