Apple Event - Sept 2014

All sold out at the shops, even after 3 hours in the queue.......6 Plus has outsold the 6 by a long way, and they sold out in half hour of opening....

Just waiting for my upgrade to come now....

I'm usually the first to order these things but this time I want to see them first... the plus looks ridiculous to me, but the battery life does look impressive.
 
Sp3ctre it looks and feels great in the flesh, and tbh bigger phablets are the way forward......I just think the 5S was too small, and it needed to get bigger so people can merge using their phones and tablets into one.....

My Note 4 will be used to watch movies on.....and it's quite conducive to that.....
 
6 Plus is too large for me to carry about even if I wanted it, in my jeans pocket. I'd have to buy a man bag (not happening). IPhone 6 (normal size) should be arriving by courier to my door tomorrow. Nice part is, I didn't even ask for one, the company CEO just sent it as a thank you for my efforts this year.
 
I won't ask you what you had to do to him Maniac :D

Good you're being rewarded :thumbsup:

Just watch one day, same way Apple said 2 years ago they would never do a large phone....small ones will diminish soon!
 
I like to have a tablet and and a phone as separate entities, but I do get ghat people want to start merging stuff into one. My MacBook also arrived half an hour ago.

I ordered that because I got Mike the iPad mini retina 128gb last year and gave my dad my old iPad 2 as my nephews have one each at home (redic at their age of 2 and just turned 4) and have one each at my parents. Then Mike went an bought a Surface Pro 2 because Wacom helped build it and he can use it as a design tablet and said I could then use the iPad more. That arrived yesterday so we both have new tech with both thinking it will free up the iPad for one another :headbang:

Maybe need to discuss these purchases a bit more in future.

Plenty in the Solihull apple store this morning i could have bought either in any colour at 8 am!

6+ is ridiculously large and feels big too.

I had 30mins to kill before a meeting so had a chat to the staff there who let me have a play.

The 6 on top of the 6+ to illustrate the size difference.

I have an iPhone 5 and since installing IOS8 everything seems to work and no noticeable difference in speed... :)
 
The 6 Plus is getting on for being more of a tablet that can be used as a phone. To be honest can't see why if thats what you are after they could always build in the capability to the mini or instead of the iPhone 6 Plus call it the iPad Micro :P A bit like the Samsung Note which is basically a Galaxy on steroids.

Good news, clearly they've realised that they need to provide the same service to the rest of the UK, after all that 'Special' treatment to the Scots :P
 
I updated my 5 to ios8 had three failed updates but now it's lost all my apps. Seems pretty much the same speed and I am hoping the battery life is better.

Just having to download my apostrophe from the cloud.

Hey oh waiting for my 128 6+ in gold apparently not in stock !

:headbang:

Currently downloading IOS8 and being sad I read the release notes all the way through... As long as you have a 4th gen iPad (I don't...) or iPad Mini (also don't - wife does) and an iPhone 5 or newer (yep, you guessed it... Though WB and Mrs B do...) then you can tether the phone to the tablet and use it as a hotspot for your tablet to surf... And I believe there is also now the functionality to use your iPad / iPad min to make / receive voice calls. I have no idea if it works or how - and it'll be a while before I have upgraded my hardware sufficiently - so would be interested if anyone's managed it.
 
The tethering has always been there though? I use that on my current iPhone 4 in London all the time where I can not connect my laptop to customer's networks.
 
My iphone 6 arrived yesterday first thing to my office.
However I'm in India on a pleasure and then work trip until next Saturday !!!
I think I can wait until then :)

Didn't know that. Need to go back and look at the wording...
 
I have used the teathering since my iphone 4 days.

The new feature of continuing your text and calls on the ipad is very clever.. Tested it last night... Cant see myself using it very often... But its still cool!
