I've decided to jump on even though my 5S isn't really showing it's age just yet.
Gonna go 64gb 6S, on AT&T.
Anybody know what a fair price would be for me to try to offload my 5S? Space Gray, ATT, in the official Apple leather case since day one, no scratches, box etc is included.

I can't go without an life-proof/otterbox case..I drop my phone way too much.
Basically have the exact same situation. I put her hopes down when she first ordered it since it was rose gold, but it would suck if mine came and she's still chilling with her barely working 5s.

Guess this means I'm not getting it Friday from reading the post in this thread. Unless they are delaying it since I'm on the bay area and it would mean it would get here from where they're shipping super early.
Verizon is being real shitty about me canceling service. They immediately disconnected our accounts, which means we are no longer able to access My Verizon. I need to get a copy of the termination bill in order to get Tmobile to cover our fees. We are signed up for paperless billing, which on Verizon means getting an email with an amount due and directions to log into My Verizon for the full account info. But I can't log into My Verizon, right? So I call to try and figure out how I can get a copy of the final bill, and after being put on hold for five minutes am told they cannot assist me because I am no longer a Verizon customer.

2gigs boss.
2GB RAM, 3D Touch, better camera, 4K video, new aluminum body, tougher glass...
Try to get informed before making that kind of post, yeah?
I wonder if I would get it on time If buy it now haha.
How tough the glass is and how will 4k compare to the Note phones? the 6S+ is only 1080p display so it isn't true 4k right?

For me, going from a 4S, this is going to be, like, incrediballs.
When I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T I first made sure T-Mobile was fully paid up. Then I went to AT&T and they did the rest for me. They ported the number and I also think they spoke to an T-Mobile rep also to make the change on their end. That was it ! I didn't have to tell T-Mobile anything but just make sure the bill was paid up. I think may not be 100% correct but you might have lost your number and also might have to sign up as a new customer for T-Mobile which you lose all the benefits from switching over.

I'd pass on that post.
He's been in this thread a few times saying the same shit over and over, ignore him. Enough people have wasted time responding to this troll.
I'm already on T-mo. They ported my number directly from Verizon, and told me all I needed to do was provide them a copy of the paper bill listing my termination fees. But I was signed up for paperless billing, which means I never received a full copy of the bill, but only a monthly balance and directions to log onto My Verizon in order to view the full bill. Now that I am locked out of My Verizon, I cannot access the bill, and Verizon is not cooperating in order to give me one.
Mine still hasn't shipped, hah. But I live in a very populated area, so I think they'll ship it last minute. Wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't ship till Weds.
I'm so excited to see how well i'll adjust to the 6S Plus coming from a Nexus 5. I think I will manage, but if I have to I'll return it and get a 6S. Going to try my best to not do that though, as I really like the extras the Plus models have to offer.
It will be like waking from a nightmare. I know because I still have a 4S laying around I use sometimes for game stuff (secondary accounts etc.), it's a real chore dealing with the severe unresponsiveness of it. It was only a mild issue in iOS 7 but became really bad in iOS 8 and iOS9 is barely any better (though I do feel it's a TINY bit improved)

Something is funny with the rose golds. My other device has a tracking number but for some reason rose golds seem to be stuck at processing according to the Internet.
Not sure if it is a T-Mobile issue or an Apple issue.

Wow. Took you almost a week to come up with that post, eh? Nice, thanks for your feedback, you've convinced me.

Depends on the size. High-end is $175-$200, low-end is $115-$130. That's just for the phone. You'll get more for including accessories/chargers, but not from sites like Gazelle.
I think its tri-core
Wasn't there an article posted here that it was a dual-core?

Indeed.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Yep, some woman on Twitter just her iPhone delivered early (by accident, I presume). She ran the Geekbench scores, and the single-thread performance is ridiculously fast... much faster than the iPad Air 2.
Can anyone put these scores in context? Does it live up to the claims Apple made at the unveil?

Why would the screen resolution dictate what resolution it can record in? Yes, it records in real 4K, 50Mb/s encoding
Faster than Air 2?
For multi core operations its slightly faster. Single core task gets crushed.

Remember that's a quad-core vs a dual-core

You know, call me silly but I wouldnt be surprised if this wasn't intentional. Apple did engineer the iPhone 6 box to take exactly 7 seconds to open. I wouldn't be surprised if later this week they ask suddenly switch to shipped and arrive all on the 25th.
Also, any links for the "stuck in processing"? For the rose gold?

Macrumors has a separate thread for each carriers preorders. Go check out their T-Mobile thread to find the latest info.
hmm i would think to get the true 4k experience you would need a screen with the right resolution to match it. I've read articles saying true 4k are on big screen TV's and stuff.
Did anyone link this? First person to own the new 6S Rose Gold.
The Rose Gold looks nice, exactly what I was thinking when I ordered it.

yeah even compared to the iphone 5 it has a lot of power kinda mad I got the 5 and never waited... now I'll get the 6s and only the S models from now on because of this.

Damnit, the benchmark photos aren't loading for me.
Roughly, how much faster is the 6s compared to the 6, 5s, Air 2, and Air?

I don't understand the bolded. What does the time it takes to open the box have to do with the estimated delivery date? Or anything, for that matter?
FYI Staples has IPad Air 2 models for $150 off this week. I got myself the 64GB Space Grey model, really enjoying it (my first tablet). It will help me hold over with my iPhone 5 for a while. I ended up cancelling my 6S+ Preorder and will hold off until I can get it when I renew my contract.

Copper hues ftw! Will probably keep my order now.

On the iPhone screen, it'll use that extra resolution so you can zoom into the video and it'll keep the same level of detail
Otherwise, yes, the benefit is watching them on a 4K TV. Or, if you're one for "future proofing," that. It's absolutely not devalued by only being watched on a 1080p cellphone screen

Hahaha. No copper anything in there. Literally metallic pink.
