I'm hoping whatever production problems they had are over and they seriously crank that Plus out.
I ordered on the 14th from my carrier and I expect it to be the first week of October.

Yeah, I am pleasantly surprised.

I'm coming from a nexus 5, going to be a huge jump either way but that's better than I thought it would be tbh.

Throughout the lifetime of the 3G, 3GS and 4 my carrier had me listed as owning a Motorola razr. The flip one. I was eligible for an upgrade yearly until they caught it.
It was great.

Anyone have any trouble logging into GAF on Safari with the new devices? I input my info and press login and it just refreshed the login page.

My battery life is good unless I'm playing a 3D game. After taking a couple of calls today, answering email, texting, Etc, I was at 83% at 9:15 PM, after being fully charged this morning at 11 AM. Played KOTOR for maybe 45 minutes, and battery dropped 20%.
6 or 6+?
Ah... ah... this is what I wanted to hear and I wasn't aware of. There will be, then, PLUS specific apps? Sorry if it's been asked before.

Well, that's kinda annoying.
My dad decided he didn't want my old 4s. I wish he would've told me that before so I could've traded it in and gotten my 6 for free. Thanks, dad.
Anyone know a reputable website I can sell this 4s to?

I should add that yesterday I charged the phone to 100% after activating, then ran it down to zero, before fully recharging this morning.

Sorry! Should have mentioned it was a regular old 6.
Yep! Universal. So is Baldur's Gate after a recent update. Lots of good games on my phone these days.

I drove over to my local verizon store today to get my hands on both versions. I wanted to make sure the plus wasn't too big for me before I preorder. I went ahead and put an order in for the iphone 6 plus 64gb space grey on a 2 year contract. The verizon guy estimated mid to end of october. Crossing my fingers for an early shipment!
Also trading in my iphone 4 for $200 credit.

Verizon? You can go back in and trade it in and should be able to get your credit

Tap the remember login checkbox and it will work
No, at the moment it's not possible to have Plus specific apps or iPad+Plus only apps.
So there have been no conversations about that happening?
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PREDICT THE FUTURE?
While there won't be Plus-only apps, the same apps have the ability to do different things on the Plus (if programmed to).

Yeah. So if they want to bring Hearthstone to the Plus they will need to come up with a separate design that will work on the 6 and 5s as well.

Why would someone bother to segment their market so much. Apps will stay iPhone only, iPad only, or Universal.
It wouldn't segment the market. iPhone apps on the Plus would just have extra functionality.

Of course it would. Why make an app for so few devices? The plus has to sell a lot more units. Besides, there isnt much more effort that needs to be put in to make an app universal.
The point is moot however. Apple doesn't allow it at this point.
I think you're misunderstanding. Currently iPhone or Universal apps on the Plus can have extra functionality.

Ahh... Thought you were talking about iPhone 6+ only apps.
Played with them in the store just now. 6 is the perfect size for sure. IPhone 4s and 5 size lovers be damned. It doesn't even feel big, the 5 and others just feel small.
But the plus... Haha damn. Right now it doesn't demo so well because there weren't any apps designed for the size. So everything including text just felt jumbo. Couldn't use safari much since the store was packed and their wifi wasn't working too well.
My thumb felt pretty good using the keyboard with one hand. But it definitely feels the most natural with two for sure. They did a great job with the thinness and weight. Felt good in the hand and mine are pretty average I think.
Tough decision. I'm on safari way more than using it as a phone, so that plus real estate seems awesome. But the 6 feels like the perfect phone overall, one that you can still carry anywhere, run with at the gym, etc

No, not really in those terms. But also.. kinda of yes. iOS now supports responsive design/auto layout/whatever you want to call it. So apps won't be exlsuve to the 6Plus but they will have features only available on the 6Plus. Its a screen size thing. On screens above a certain threshold iOS will display more UI panes. Things like having a list view as well as the content view in email, etc. Stuff like that... at first.
I'm not really sure if that describes it well.

I mentioned the idea earlier but I didn't think Apple would allow it.
16gb
4 is the best
Oh shit! I made the right call with the 6 plus. Held one yesterday and it didn't feel crazy so I'll be happy when it gets here come mid October

I think there was one but I'm not sure how often it was updated.

Not exactly sure, but try going here: www.verizonwireless.com/tradein. You should be able to search for your device and then there are some yes or no questions about the condition of your device. It should tell you how much they'll give you for it.
Get Knightmare Tower. Best game on IOS imo. There's a free version you can try.

The 6 plus is a monster phone the 6 feels perfect. Looks like hot garbage but man fuck chamfered edges that continuous glass edge feels so nice to do the back and forward swipe on. The phone feels heavier too not the super light cheap feeling of the iPhone 5.
Yes, along with Chubby Keanu's answers. Very helpful and thanks for taking the time.
36 bucks!
