Nope. Mine feel more solid than my 5

likes mayo on everthing and can't dance
Ugh, first time trying to put music on my 6 and im getting the "ghost songs" on the phone that never sync.
Is there a simple way to FIX this other than deleting the songs and trying again?

gonna be honest here i actually like this phone more than i thought i would. iOS still has some flaws but i think i could manage with them. have to check out a nexus 6 but this may be my phone for the next 6 months
Mailbox updated. No 6/+ support.
I know
I saw the update and got excited but noppppe. Apparently Dropbox is working on the mailbox iPhone 6 update though.

looking at the poetic...
might just be me, but thats one ugly case.
just get a simple clear PU case, should be less than $5 for a no-name one on eBay.
It is better than I thought, the plastic is quite flexible and won't be easy to scratch like the old clear hard plastic cases.
Finally got my 6+ from Apple today. Yeah! Loving it a ton and the size works although if my hands were any smaller (measured in centimeters of course) I don't think one handed operation would work very well. I have the black apple leather case which is of great quality and looks really nice but I'm thinking it might not be grippy enough. Anyone with the silicon case...is it significantly more grippy?
Heard metal case affects cell reception.Got my 6+ today
Now deciding between Spigen Air Skin or the Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal ... hmm.

Got my 6+, it's so big.
Now the hunt for wallpaper.
Now the hunt for wallpaper.
now that I have it in hand, I can start updating my own apps. Core based apps suffer the most.
I prefer Android for the most part so in used to some larger phones. It didn't really hit me though how big the 6+ is compared to the regular 6 till I saw them in a store side by side. It looks enormous next to it. Feels normal sized to me though.

Will it fuck up the battery quicker over time though?

I'm coming from a 4S, so yes, this is a sizeable jump.
I believe it's new too. My 6 is also a September manufacture and I got mine the day after launch, retail sealed box.
Apple stores set aside a portion of new stock for things like dead pixel returns at launch.

I love iMessage from my Mac. But is there now anyway to message EVERYONE from the computer, rather than just those people who have apple phones?
As in text messages? They're adding that in soon, I think.
This is coming in Yosemite. You need your phone to be "connected" to your mac. I believe this is accomplished in 2 ways. 1 is being on the same wifi network. The other is via Bluetooth.
I've always done the wifi way, I'm not even sure if the Bluetooth option exists.
It's coming in Yosemite and it will just start working. You might have a pop up on either device asking to confirm SMS Relay on your Mac, but that's it. I believe you just have to be on the same wifi network for it. My mac doesn't have Bluetooth 4.0, so Yosemite's continuity stuff doesn't work. However, SMS Relay works, so it must just be using wifi.
on the other end, can I just get iMessages on my iPhone only? I don't like it when it goes to my iPad and Macbook.

yeah just turn it off on your iPad and Macbook.
You are a brave soul. I've told most of my iPhone 4/5 friends to try the regular 6.
Anyone know what the main usability difference between a 10 W Apple iPad charger (I got it with an iPad 2) and the 12 W Apple iPad charger (came with my iPad Air)? I know I know one draws 10 W and the other draws 12 W... But what is the noticeable difference for the standard user?

...hate me...
Speed of charging.

The iPad is still a lot larger though. Infinitely more pleasant to look at than even a 5.5" screen. Especially when propped up. Not saying the plus is a bad choice, just that you shouldn't get rid of your iPad.

It's been shown that the 6 plus charges in 3.5 hours with the 5W charger and charges in 2 hours with the 12 W charger. In fact it was rumored to come with a new charger but it didn't make it in time for release

Don't know what to think so far about this battery.
is that a regular 6? I'm looking at my stats on a 6+ and I have 4 hours, 15 minutes usage & 5 Hours, 46 minutes stand by with 73% left.

Yeah, regular 6.
That does seem a little low, however you're still set for about 7 hours of usage and that is still pretty good. Here's my battery life from a week or so ago. Also a regular 6
Yeah. I heard that rumor. If I'm charging my 6 plus overnight then I use the iPhone charger. Otherwise I use the iPad charger.
I called Rogers today to order an iPhone 6, and ended up with some condescending android fanboy trying everything in his power to convince me to buy a "much more capable" Galaxy S5 instead, even though I told him I know all about phones and did all my research. He even flat-out told me I'm "wrong" about certain things I preferred about the iPhone. ("The camera hasn't been upgraded in four generations.") When I got fed-up with it and asked him if he'd ever heard of "the customer is always right", he told me it's "an outdated term", and continued his hard sell on the S5.
I ended up hanging up on him and calling back to talk to a much more sensible representative who didn't even question what I wanted.
Holy shit, though. It was like talking to someone from the internet. That guy needs to get disciplined.

He's almost right. I think camera optics haven't been updated since 4S. I think sensor was updated though, having same number of MP, but bigger pixels. They've also done a ton of software updates and electronics that control the camera though, which provided faster autofocus and stuff like that. It's so weird talking to a salesman like that. I think in most cases it's because they want to sell you what they have in stock,
It's not really apple's fault though. I think cameras of that size have reached the limits of what is physically possible, and they are using the best available camera of that size.
He's not right at all. At least, to anyone who understands digital photography.

It's funny because the policy is that employees have to big up every single phone. No matter what the customer gets even if it is a legit questionable phone (like any blackberry), you're still supposed to make them feel good about it and say things like yeah that's a great phone, hope you enjoy it, etc...
That agent sounds like a complete idiot.
