The curved glass display is tripping me out. It feels like the image is floating on top of the screen. So damned good. Very tempted to go case less at the moment but I know I'm gonna drop this thing like at least 50 times
I don't think anyone really knows but I have a sneaking suspicion that they are just being cautions with their estimates. I doubt it will take that long.

Just saw it. Looks nice but I feel like it's thin to the point of being a drawback. It's so hard to hold and insanely slippery if you're going to use it without a case.
The 6 Plus makes it 10x worse lol.

Best thing is, you don't even have to lift the finger. Press the button, release it but keep finger on it, split second later it unlocks. Faster than swiping too, because the touchID detection is faster on 6 than it was on 5s.

Not yet but looking at the pictures, it doesn't look all that big.

It looks like they just forgot to print the image on the front. Really weird decision.
You can ignore that estimated time.. That includes all the time to download your pictures and stuff. It should reboot after 2 or 3 minutes and let you into your phone
I wish it copied my google authenticator... having to set that up again for all these accounts is going to be a pita
Holy shit. I saw this post last night, and kind of blew it off, because I have UPS my choice, so if something is coming I get an email letting me know. This morning my order status changed to order processing, and I figured maybe I'll get them next week. Now my order status says it was shipped today, and has a tracking number. And that tracking number says it was shipped yesterday, and is out for delivery? Hot damn, I'm back in the game. I'll never doubt you again.
really think this is just iOS8 in general. Pretty sure it's the same sensor. iOS8 is much faster and more accurate on my 5s. My left thumb was like 60% recognition AT BEST as of 7.1.2 (and at launch was like 40% maybe). Now it's 100% and fast. Sometimes my home screen will come up almost as soon as my display turns on.
edit - touch id was always fine for me. My right hand (thumb and pointer) was always at like 100%. For some reason, my left thumb was just bad.. I rescanned it once and it was still just awful. now with iOS8 though it's near flawless on that hand and still flawless on my right hand.
When i turned it on and set it up, it went through the activation with my number and shit. Is it just a matter of time then?
You will probably be glad you got the 64GB later down the line. 16GB these days is just not enough for me, personally.

Just came back from the Bell store and had the chance to try out the 6+. Honestly, it didn't feel that big at all. Some of the comments from around the net suggested that it was obnoxiously big. It felt large but not so big I couldn't use it day-to-day.
The regular 6 looked great as well but I found myself constantly gravitating towards the Plus. That says a lot about my decision to stick with it.
I talked to the manager of the store about shipments. She told me that the 6+ was sold out, which I expected.
I mentioned the fact that it seemed to be the less shipped of the two and she emphatically disagreed with that. She said the demand for the 6+ is huge and that her allotment went pretty much all to preorders and that is why there isn't any for walk-ins. She had the 6 to sell right then and there but she was out of the 6+, but she was confident they would be getting weekly shipments of it.
That put my mind at ease that I shouldn't have to wait too long for my phone.

Is Zoom the same concept as running your computer in 640x480 so that everything is bigger on your screen? Old people resolution?

Reachability is kind of stupid and really useful at the same time.

Can we get some gaming impressions in here for the Plus? (or I guess in the other thread??)
I kinda agree :-/
My 6+ and 5 as imagined by my shitty ois-less motorola xoom
That is a big ass phone.

I tried out Threes on the store model.
It was Threes.
Seriously, I want to hear some good gaming impressions as well.
Someone who has it should make a thread.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Although probably will go with 5S.

I have that issue on the 5S.
I say it bumps up a couple of times.
At least I hope.
I mean I do have to press harder for the button to register, but it doesn't really bother me (yet). I could see it bothering someone else quickly though.

It really is, I'm glad I went with the 6 and not the 6+
YES. It's happening to me on the default keyboard too on my 5S.

I just played a bit of Asphalt 8. Runs nice. Looks nice.
They moved my ship date up 4 days!
Two weeks it is! Maybe it'll move up more... I can only hope.
When did you preorder?

Happens to me too on my 5s when using Swype or the default keyboard... I think it's a bug in iOS 8 right now, but it's damn annoying.
