4K can look better than 1080 on a 1080p screen. Look up chroma sub sampling.

That's my thinking, and I also backup my photos and videos every week, so space isn't that big of an issues except on very long vacations where I also have several videos downloaded and can't backup until home.

Yes, but they'll just do it online for you, since their website is the only place to do it now

Gotcha, cheers mate!
But that also means you wouldn't be able to grab a phone in store even if you show up, it HAS to be shipped from an online order

Hah, well I guess that's a good as explanation as any.
BTW, if anyone's worried about missing their delivery, I just saw on the Apple order page that you can print and pre-sign a PDF to leave on your door that UPS/FedEx will accept.

That really angers me. My backup plan was to go to AT&T. What is wrong with them? I hate oligopolies.

They're trying to phase out 2 year contract pricing, but are keeping it around for the people who REALLY want it. They just make it a pain to get it
Don't be surprised if it's not even an option next time you want to upgrade a phone
Just makes sense for the plane routes.
I can't even get to the lock screen by using the home button, it just immediately unlocks when I tap it. Not even slightly exaggerating.

Can't you just throw in a pay as you go sim and your personal account, and then reset it later?
that fast huh?

Resellers killing the system.

If you buy it outright, no. If you buy it on one of AT&Ts contracts, yes. If you buy it with the iPhone Upgrade Program and activate it on AT&T, no.
There's no right choice. Go with what you like the most. I'll personally go with silicone because I really like the grip of it, it's more rubber-y, while the leather one is softer.

Wow, can't wait for 10/2 wave two preorder.

So what sorts of things don't get restored from an iCloud backup? Just TouchID stuff and ApplePay?

Shit, I didn't even think about this
Leather if you want black or midnight blue, silicone if you want any other colour. Leather is slightly better protection and more comfortable but the lighter tones wear awfully over time.

I'll be using FilmicPro for 24 fps. Hope they update to support 4K.
i've read that it's hard to use the buttons with the leather case? either way, both are extortionately priced - $70 AUS for the leather and $55 AUS for silicone.
It's fine to use the buttons with leather. You just don't feel as much of a click.
Spent an hour in an Apple Store line, and left. We were informed all 64gb Plus models were gone, and that's the one I wanted.
So I ordered one on fnac.com, with a delivery announced from 9th, oct.
I'm waiting for some feedback on how Touch 3D is on the Plus model. I have the feeling it is more suited to a one handed phone.

1080p/60fps
I love the smoothness and crispness of 60fps. Some 4K will be taken for future-proofing purposes.
I feel that 60fps is timeless though. Back in 2004 my pal had a digital camera that took video at 60fps. It was mind blowing and although the videos are very small resolution they still look incredible today.

60fps video still weirds me out. Games, totally normal. But video is just so rare to see, outside of what I film on my iPhone and some youtube videos. TV is 30 and movies are 24, most youtube is 30, etc. That's what my brain is used to
Yeah I know what you're saying. That crispness of video just makes things seem more "alive".
I got my 6S!!! Delivered at 10.45am (UK). Standard Gold, 128 Jigga.
Gonna open, brief set up with no iCloud, update it to 9.0.1, then restore backup.
Nope.

I have never had a new iPhone on the day of release, but my phone was due an upgrade so ordered it two weeks ago and it is being delivered today. I really shouldn't be this excited. I am currently staring at the delivery page live updates. My courier is currently on delivery 43 and mine is number 78 in the the queue, 2 hour and 15 minutes away. Refreshing the page is not making him speed up.
I went for the 6s 64gb in silver. I thought I needed a change from the black/space grey from the past 3 iterations.
Also not sure if this is relevant for this thread, but it is related to Apple. I am thinking of moving over to Apple Music, after being a long term Spotify premium member. I do love Spotify and have never had any problems with the service, but the new privacy policy nonsense made me start to look elsewhere. Anyone got any thoughts or impressions on Apple?

how is the 6s+? i remember reading about the 6+ running a bit slow/lagging. maybe it was cause of the bigger screen. i hope 2gb ram/a9/ios 9 have made it run smoother.

People are gone give me shit for saying this, but as far as we can tell, it should be the same as the previous version where the smaller unit boasts better performance.

And the huge taptic engine, which seems to be responsible for the 5% reduction in battery capacity:
