Had exactly the same feeling after switching from the 4S to the 6.
I gave it to my mother and every time I see it I cant believe I was able to use such a small phone.

Photo Stream is the service that stores the last 1000 photos on your iPhone/iPad so you can sync your photos between devices. It's not meant to be a permanent cloud storage solution and doesn't count towards your storage. iCloud Photo Library is straight up storing your photos in the cloud and does use up your storage.

Great tip, my eyes thank you.
Right. So what's the point of having them both on? Doesn't the iCloud library cancel out photo stream?
Yeah, just use iCloud Library.
I've used two apps to do this: TruSloMo and Slow Fast.
It sucks that there isn't a standard way to do it.
I´m doing it with iMovie.
No.

yup, mines down the right side. same on my wives.
Yes I have this! Everytime I go to make an appointment to get it swapped out it suddenly becomes non notice able for a few days.
Mine is on the right sized center. I think it has something to do with body warp.
DOes it feel like tape sticking then detaching? My 3G did this.

I thought the watch was using LG's POLED

Yup. LG confirmed at the end of September after the Apple Watch reveal that they were supplying POLED displays for the watch.
Wireless charging doesn't work with metal. That's why HTC One don't have it either. Also, I really hope they don't put AMOLED.

Guys, I can get an iPhone 6, 6 Plus or Galaxy S5 et al for free and just wondering what the tl;dr consensus is between a 6 and a Plus? I handled a Plus today and it feels a bit too big at a first impression but I think I can probably get used to it.
I've had a 6+ for a couple of weeks on loan from work. It is big, but fits in my jeans pocket ok. If you use your phone as a phone a lot, it might be too big to use comfortably. But if you use it more for email, web browsing etc, then the increased screen size can make it very comfortable to use. I found myself hardly using my ipad air because the 6+ was large enough to browse easily.
You'll get used to the size. Size wasn't a problem for me as I was using big phone before it. It might be too big at first, but the great battery life alone is well worth it. I would get 6+ unless you have really small hands.

It's settled.
Apple Watch has a 'composite' back or a ceramic back. Wireless charging also works with glass backs.

You don't even need iTunes. On your phone go to Settings>General>About>Name.
I know I'm too late, but I love my 6 Plus. And the battery is great too.
Well damn. My apologies, Apple.

Can someone recommend me software to transfer voicemail to my PC?
I found a couple while searching online, but I have no idea if they are safe to install.

You like me, you really really like me!
Just wanted to chime in and say how much I'm loving my iPhone 6. Jumped ship from a Nexus 5 which had terrible battery life and a broken power button. I'm in heaven with this phone. iOS 8 is so fast and responsive. Apple's attention to detail both on the hardware and software side is incredible. I'm loving Touch ID, I'll never be able to go back to a phone without it.
I too have no complaints and I'm pretty happy with mine. Coming from an iPhone 5 with no Touch ID to the 6 with it and the enhancements they've made to it is awesome. It's so intuitive and works so well for me it's crazy. I don't think I could switch to another phone that doesn't have it or a better implementation.
Never occurred to me.
I only use Text Expander and Emoji++ but neither of these have problem opening.
Do you use either of those as your main keyboard? I only have the issue sometimes when it's the first keyboard to open, I don't think I ever have that problem when I'm just switching to it.
Thanks for the reply, maybe I'll try out Swype even though I really like SwiftKey.
Oh, it's generally not the first keyboard to open.

So I got my 6+. It's very big. :/ I need to get a case and screen protector now but all of the ones I've seen in bricks and mortars are shit and look and feel like a foot locker in my hand.
Have you tried the Apple leather case? It's actually quite slim, plus it ages well and looks fantastic.
Came in here because I'm looking to upgrade in the next couple days. I have a iPhone 5 and my wife has a 4s. Right now I'm leaning towards 2 iPhone 6's. I'm really interested in the plus, I'm kinda ocd about stuff like this so I'm going back and forth (My wife just says I'm crazy). I'm 6'6" and have pretty big hands, I could use the plus one handed without much trouble. On the other hand (ba dum bum) I'm a systems administrator, most of the time my laptop is right there. I take notes on my phone, do some light reading, and gaming. I'm not sure those things warrant the extra money.
I've read thought a bunch of this thread (the post release parts anyway). I'm still not sure about a case, I typically use the Magpul cases, but since I'm an AT&T employee I can get the Apple leather case for $20. Worth it? It looks really nice, how is the grip?

I've used the Apple leather case on the 5s and the 6, the grip is just right. It doesn't really slip out of your hands, and it isn't a pain to put in and take out of your pocket. I think the silicon cases that Apple makes tend to have an issue with becoming too grippy over time (so says my brother at least) but I've never had that problem with any of the leather cases I've owned.
I myself have a 6, and despite the fact that I would have to use the 6+ with two hands, I kind of wish in retrospect that I'd opted for the larger option because it's actually pretty awesome in every respect. The only thing the 6 has over the plus is the portability factor. I know almost without a doubt that my next phone will likely be the plus version.
magpul 6 case is fantastic. and the same price as $20.
Anyone else have their phones hard crash/restart way too often? like its happened at least 3-4 times a week always from trying to multitask.
latest iOS version, not jailbroken.
How do your Magpul's hold up? I've used them for a couple years now, I usually have to order a new case ever 8-10 months because they start to stretch. Otherwise they are a fantastic case, slides out of the pocket but won't leave your hand. They are more of a guy case though, my wife hates it.
I started with an iPhone 2g and I can't remember ever seeing a phone crash to the point that it restarted. I'd check which apps are up when it happens, are any of them new enough to coincide with the start of this behavior? Maybe something that updated recently? If it were my phone I would try to identify a couple possible problem apps, delete them, make sure I have a full backup and factory restore it, reload your backup. I've done that a few times and it tends to clear space and improve the heath of the device each time I do it. To bad there are not really any diagnostic logs to look though.

Can you stop by an Apple Store and get your hands on a display model? If so I'd do it. The 6 Plus is BIG. I have the regular 6, and it's still a bit big for my liking. I don't have big hands at all though.
Haven't seen a crash in so long.
