Yeah. I like that they got heavier. I want something to feel. Too thin and too light is not my thing. I was never more thrilled by hardware than the 4 design.
That's awesome, thanks.

In the gaming side thread they mentioned that it hasn't been updated for iOS 8 yet, some sort of bug they need to patch.

If you ordered through AT&T for your account that you've already set up, it'll arrive with a sim card tailored to that number that you were upgrading
If you bought an unlocked phone that doesn't have a sim card, I actually don't know. If your number is already paying the correct smartphone monthly fees, I don't think it'll be a problem.
Ghost Trick seems to be working.
It will end when it's as thin as a piece of glass.
oh god, how do old ass apps that were not updated for Retina look on the new phones >.<
So new owners that jumped from iphone 5 and been using it for a day or so, how do you like the phone in terms of feel, OS speed, camera, heat (iphone 5 always heated up randomly for me), and other little things?
Also 6+ folks, is it possible to use the phone 1 handed with that hand's thumb like you can with older iphones? My 6+ case arrived and i can't see how i can do it while still comfortable with the grip.

At least for games, old apps looks perfectly fine on my iPhone 6.
Compared to the 5, it's a good amount faster, the screen looks quite a bit better, and the camera is substantially better (especially when it comes to noise).

Looks like the phone is TOO thin. People are reporting the phone warps if you leave it in your pocket too long (e.g. - bends to match the shape of your leg or pocket when you sit).
that is why you keep it in a case so it doesn't warp
edit. that image is from Macrumors. a total of 3 people have reported in that 600 topic. I would have assumed it is more widespread than that but it doesn't look like it especially considering the 5 and 5S also had similar cases but the reporting for this is exponentially more despite only 3 people reporting it because it is so thin so people are looking for this as a story

I don't mind the wait, but it really bothers me that people who pre-ordered after me with AT&T for the same exact phone have received theirs first.

Seems bugged...

Holy shit....
These both macrumor images happened to people using iPhone 5 and 5S as well and that was also reported on macrumors a year and 2 years ago, consequence of going too thin. Thankfully its not a widespread issue..yet
The phone has been out for less than three days. What do you mean only 3 people reported on 1 message board. This is defiantly something to keep an eye on. This guy said this happened over 1 day while attending a wedding, and wearing semi loose dress pants.

All I'm saying is, Steve Jobs would have never let this happen.
Really though, how does bending get past QA?

It happened to people for iPhone 5 and 5S as well and that was after launch too for a few people. It is a consequence of going too thin. if it were a widespread issue it would happen to a lot more phones by now than just 3 but thankfully like the 5 and 5S it seems to be limited to aluminium bending in some cases. the 3 cases yet are all yet reported by Macrumor members similar to what happened to 5 and 5S

Yeah AT&T's launch was a joke, I my order in no later then 10 mins after the launch and still waiting. One of the phones ordered arrives tommorow, mine is showing 10/2- 10-13.

Aluminum is aluminum. It is a historically weak material, but also very light. This is going to be a problem for the 6+ for as long as they use it.
Okay...don't compare the 5/5S to the 6/6 Plus. Please don't do that again. The 6/6 Plus is significantly thinner than those phones. Significantly thinner. This is defiantly a concern.

Nah, Steve would have let that slide. He never would have let it have a protruding camera

This isn't a problem with it being thin, this is a problem with rigidity. It's more to do with construction and materials than how thick it is.

holy hell i just looked at my 5 and i just now noticed its a little bent. not too much but im really worried how bad it might get with the 6. It is significantly thinner
I understand this was an issue with the 5/5S, however the potential for it happening to these newer phones have to be increased greatly. No?

Haha...yeah. I assumed I screwed something up on my iPad initially. Hopefully they put out a fix soon-ish.

the point is its going to be an issue with some people but how many people realised it was an issue until they searched up a phone from 2 years and a year ago. so its not as widespread yet...but we will have to wait and see.
What was with the weird "don't compare the 5/5S to the 6/6 Plus. Please don't do that again" comment?

i would recommend not putting your phone in ur back pocket and sitting down with it. common sense but a lot people do it.
I was referring to the models in terms of the thinness. I feel like the 6/6 Plus are so much thinner. Perhaps I am not educated enough on this matter. I thought the thinness of the phone is what causes the likelihood of the phone getting bent.
Yeah. Are these people putting their phones in their back pocket?
I have had my 5 for two years without a single bending problem. Always use my front pocket with an incipio case.
