Sadly I can't afford to upgrade this time around and will stick with my 5, but is there not a 32GB option? all I see on the uk store is 16, 64 and 128.
If I had to choose a model I would go with the regular 6, it's a little larger and while the plus would be awesome for use, I do like a slightly smaller phone in my pocket.

I use Av Player HD. It cost £1.99 and plays everything I throw at it
Edit - beaten badly. Yes, it's avplayer for the iPhone

im starting to think the iPhone 6S will be the best version to upgrade to.. its not that far off.
I actually don't have experience with this, let me know how it works. I thought they were all referring to http://www.inmethod.com/airvideohd/index.html;jsessionid=4EB444CD4CE2FB4AD3D3FE93655473D9
Nah, we're talking about a local video player, that's the streaming one. They all have stupidly similar names.
The obvious fallacy with this reasoning is that you get the 16 GB version for the same money that SHOULD get you the 32 GB.
But does this other app also do streaming? at which point, I might have to check it out. Specifically DLNA streaming.
"Supported URL streaming playback and downloading."
That means it should work with VLC streaming at least on a local network. It seems AVStreamer is their dedicated streaming app though.
Yeah, that looks more like VMware... I have and would absolutely recommend Splashtop for people who are interested in that.
But now you get nearly 50 GB extra storage for just an additional $100... which is a marketing advantage for Apple.

I'm not saying it is not an advantage, just pointing out it isn't so cut-and-dried as to being one.
If you bought a $299 or $399 iPhone in the past you got an upgrade in memory this time around. However, if you bought at $199 you kind of got punished relative to others if you want to stay at the same entry level price. Historically, with iPhones everyone received the same 'upgrade' in storage indiscriminately.
But, right you are, Apple does know what they're doing, and that is pricing their products such that it is economically desirable to spring for the higher memory model when compared to an individual's previous purchasing habit.

Yah, it's that one. I mainly use it on my iPad, but it should be the same on your iphone. It's a great app.
11 bucks for that case is tempting.

Ugh. I think Apple's cases are awesome for the 5s in leather but I wish they didn't leave the bottom edge exposed for the 6. I basically want the snug very slim quality of their cases with the bottom covered. No hard material touching the phone.
I'll probably do either silicone or leather from Apple but I'll keep an eye out here for something similar with full coverage.
You can find the same screen sizes at Best Buy on similar phones right now if you want to get a better idea sooner rather than later.

I've been using a sock style case for my iPhone 4, now I guess it's time to pick up something new. Don't really like hard cases for the extra bulk they add though. With a sock even though it's kinda dumb, it protects my phone and I don't have to look at it in an ugly case or add thickness to the phone.

90% of me is thinking I'm not willing to look that poor but 10% of me is jealous of your no case and wonders if the aesthetics of the phone would negate the poor sock.
I remember when socks were a cool thing they sold at the Apple store for iPod Mini and classic. RIP iPod Classic.

What's you're opinion of the Speck Candyshell series then?

I tried them (I think they look tacky but that's besides the point). The inner rubber was so hard that it scratched a couple small spots on my 5 just from popping it in and out so I returned it. Incipio's two layer cases with silicone inside and a shell that goes over it is by far what I find most protective and well designed. Unfortunately, it's not slim enough for me but it was perfect protection.

Mind linking to that specific Incipio case? Basically, I have a Spigen on order for the big day, but am probably using a Candyshell yet again as a daily driver (I prefer one-piece cases), but I am always open to similar, other options.
My main requirement? That it has a lip over the screen.

TPU is more like super flexible plastic. Tends to still have the abrasion issue when against the phone that threatens to scratch and scuff grit into the metal if much gets in there, though much better than total hard plastic.
Apple's microfiber linings are great. Probably the best thing to have touching the phone, if only they were doing full coverage this time.

I'd say that 95% of the time the sock stays in my pocket, I can pull the phone out without the sock leaving my jeans pocket and usually get it back in without taking it out too, so I'm left with all the benefits of no case while I'm using it and all the protection of a case when I'm not. I don't know whether I'll switch that up here. I did have a leather pouch style case once, similar to this one, maybe I'll try something like that. It really depends on how the phone feels to hold.
Been using exactly that on my 5S. In fact it's an Apple iPod sock. It's done me well. I'm interested to see how it fits the 6.
I use this app daily on my ipad. Worth every cent
A yearly microarchitecture change is asking a lot. I think they're going to go with the Intel tick-tock timeline, which is much more reasonable and sound.

I keep having a big internal discussion about this sort of thing. I think the 6+ is too big for me as a phone but I love the idea of having one device to replace both my iPad Mini and my iPhone. I was planning on getting an updated Mini this year and now with the 6 Plus I am thinking it over. I'm just not sure what to do yet. I guess I really do need to see it in the hands of people on the street first.
The Mini just seems like a perfect device to me. It's the perfect size for a tablet. I'm not sure I want to stray from that. I just don't know if I want to keep on two devices all the time. It's pricey.
Just checked with Sprint and they say I should have my order by the 19th. Which is lovely considering I slept in before ordering Friday. 
Should be a great update from 4s.
I used a sock case for my 4s for a while, I thought it worked fine. Although I doubt it offers any collision buffer and I don't get scratches anyways, so I'll probably just go naked with the 6.

If you buy your iPhone with AppleCare+, it gets added to your Support Profile immediately. If you check it, you'll be able to get the serial number and find out those details with some basic codebreaking!

I'm getting the 6+ to replace a phone and a tablet. It's too big as a phone, no question, but I'd rather carry a slightly larger phone than tote around a 4.7" phone (Nexus 4) and a 7" tablet (Nexus 7) which I'm doing at this very moment.
I wish my 5s' leather case kept the bottom of the device exposed. It's nearly impossible to use the headphone jack on this thing with the case on, except for Apple's own headphones which have a thin profile connector.
FWIW, talked to this web designer:

I've just ordered this case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JH88B1Q/
I don't like cases unless they're very minimalistic. This looks like a bumper with a clear plastic backing, so it's perfect

That's good news man. Is that from Apple Store directly or a network?

Same. Performance and specs don't seem that much better than the 5S especially considering it's STILL on 1 GB RAM. I'll hold off for the 6S. Hopefully they clean up the ass ugly antenna design on the back by then too.
Yeah I looked at the 6 leather case and I was shocked at how cheap the design looks. The 5S leather case I have looks beautiful - wraps around the entire device with individually cut holes at the bottom. I HATE cases that just put a huge cutout at the bottom. Looks like a rushed case out of China. Pretty disappointed with the design aspects of the iPhone 6.

1 month moved up for AT&T online business premier store. It should be similar to regular online at&t. I already read lots of people getting their At&T.com ship dates updated this morning Sunday.

Just checked mines again and it was cut down to two weeks (it's now the first week in October). So yeah, maybe it's true. Let's see if they move it up again...
Mine was updated too! Regular online at AT&T here.
From- Expected Ship Date: 10/13/2014 To 10/31/2014
To- Expected Ship Date: 09/23/2014 To 10/02/2014

Most of the transistors probably went to the GX6650 GPU replacing the G6430. They probably widened the issue width again, increased the reorder buffer, maybe another couple of integer pipes and another FPU/NEON pipe. I don't doubt the caches got a bit beefier too. The usual stuff you do to extract more performance out of a design without going up in clock speed. We won't know for sure until Apple makes its commits to LLVM with the specs for the architecture.
