iPhone 6 thread.

[Ray Gin]

Apple just hurry up and take my money.

 

[ColinG]

I'm not excited If that's the final look its poor for apple, it blends in just like any other android device IMO.

 

[DB.]

Looks ace, love it.

 

[Gareth]

Not overly excited this time around, I may hold and and go 6S

Won't that be the same shape except hardware changes though?!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Couple of those videos now, looks like it could be the one. Looks awful tbh but I'll still get it because #ibumiphones

Lol you know what I mean!

lock button on the side by the looks of things on that video...?

cant imagine them changing that tbh. the buttons are sort of iconic of the iphone. every phone has had the physical buttons in the same place

Apple are quite good at "if it isn't broke, don't fix it" method of design so I'm sure they'll leave it. Less than a week now though, speculation is going to be mental over the next few days.

LOL

To be fair, it seems most are getting paid to be there or working on PR, wait for the consumer gimps to join the back..

Can only be watched on Apple products... f**k sake, guess it's The Verge live blog for me again then.

Do you not have an iPad? I'll be streaming in the ATV.

I've always been an iPhone fan since I first got my 3G back in't day - great bits of kit. Thought I'd never have any cause to switch to another brand, as I was so used to, happy, and familiar with iOS etc. Have never been impressed with Android when I've played with it - although admittedly, this probably hasn't been for a few years.

However, I've just watched this - and this is probably the first non-iPhone phone that I've seen and want.



See what Tuesday brings..

 

[Gally]

LG G3 still looks like a phone I would design. Stunning.

M8 best made, thing is lovely, just the front speaker holes ruin it a little.

The iPhone is still a beautiful piece of kit. As the 6 will also be.

 

[doddy]

All the androids still look really s**t to me. Like really s**t.

I'll admit I am an apple fan anyway but the androids always look to have a really messy display and poorly thought out.

 

[CrippsCorner]

No, only an iPhone... I might borrow the missus iPad though if she'll let it leave the house! I did find a stream last time that worked on Windows but it had s**t American teenagers discussing it the whole time as it was playing!

I agree, for me, nothing comes close to rivalling apple for ease of use and looks/style.

Is there much money to be made selling these on when the initial stock inevitably sells out?

Not really, they tend to be kept quite well stocked now since the 4S I believe.

 

[MicKPM]

Android has come a long way whilst iOS hasn't really gone much further than it did 2yrs

Just look at the market share now... Google are apparently set to enforce standards on the next versions GUI (maybe it's time to say goodbye to TouchWiz) and it's looking like a genuine competitor to iOS. I am looking to come back from AOSP to iOS because Google are slowly but surely closing down the open source loops.

It's an old article now but still a good read: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...ntrolling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/

Sorry, I digress.... iphone 6, Yey!

 

[CrippsCorner]

HTC One is a great looking phone... still prefer iOS though.

 

[DannyR]

Isn't that comparison a bit unfair though. Apple sell two phones that run iOS, there are a fair few that run android.

 

[chris_p]

I hope apple actually make a decent upgrade this time, I'm getting fed up of such minor changes each time!

If they don't, my money will be going on a Sony Z2 or HTC m8. I'd consider the samsung if it didn't feel so plasticky & cheap.

 

[Ads_172]

I might start a queue for the 6s on the day after the 6 launches.

And then sell my space in my own queue for £million.

Back looks s**t, but the rest is nice.

But, for the first time in 5 years I won't be upgrading at launch. Financially I can't justify the upgrade

 

[Knuckles]

What a s**t display! The pixels hurt my face

 

[Munson]

Yes that's correct. iPhone 6 will have a s**t screen. Apple decided to reverse everything they did with Retina displays, and revert back to low resolution panels.

 

[DannyR]

Hella s**t display, kind of confirms that that won't be the shape, so still hope for that s**t camera to be flush.

 

[Gally]

Too many vids and pics for the camera to be wrong imo. Protruding is just a road to ruin surely?

 

[DannyR]

Yep, that'll catch my pocket all the time without a case.

Same. Had every single one on launch day and this will be the first i dont get.

 

[Gally]

Why the hate?

Seems a bit too much. Big round bezel. The back seems a tad poorly designed.

 

[Rob]

I agree. If the back really does look as poxy as that I'll be properly pissed off.
