I'm upgrading from the iPhone 4S, is there a noticeable difference on the camera considering it's still only 8MP?

MP doesn't make a picture, you can have all the MP in the worlds, but if the sensor is sh1t then it don't matter. But yah, the camera should be way better

Yup, it's a fair bit better.

Went from a 4S to a 6+ and the difference was incredible.

The 100mb download limit is really annoying. Is there anyway round this.

Not without jail breaking, unfortunately. At least it's gone up from the original of I think 20mb...

What download limit is this?

From the App Store if not on WiFi.

Had my hands on the 6 for an evening and to be honest wouldn't dream of swopping my 5s for it, the size and lightness of it really put me off

Sorry your right but it feels lighter or more flimsy than the 5s

I got my 6 on the Saturday after launch in Belfast and still can't put it down. I thought the 6+ was huge but now I'm thinking I should've bought the + instead! At times the 6 seems the size of the 5 in my hands. Weird

I went for 6plus just in case I did regret getting a 6!!!

I have got so used to the size of the 6plus that I don't think its too large at all, fits in all my pockets,

I fully agree.I've had the 6+ now for nearly two weeks and I'm fully adjusted to the size.I only notice when someone is using a for example 5s in my proximity:)

Got my iphone 6 64gb gold and case setup now

Overall very happy with it cant really think of any downsides to the device

+ Gold Is Awesome
+ Reception on 3 is much better than my nokia on O2
+ Device is very fast compared to my ipod 4g
+ Screen Is amazing rivals any oled screen I've seen
+ Bigger size is great, plus was too big for me the 6 is just right
+ 6 rows of apps is godly
+ Battery Life seems very good so far
+ Wifi performance is better than my ipad & ipod
+ Doesnt seem to get hot under gaming like my ipod did though the case might be disapating it

- Touch Id doesnt work to authorise updates

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case is perfect for the gold model it gives great protection and allows you to see the awesome design aswell

Something not right there.

Do you not have auto update set up? So that they go automatically? I couldn't be bothered authorising updates? That came in iOS7.

I had the same, default iTunes purchase setting (require password after 15min) means no password is required for updates. If you change this to require immediately all of a sudden updates require password as well but it won't accept touchID then.

ah ok may need to look at the settings when i went to update the OS it asked for my passcode like on the lock screen but wouldnt accept touch id instead which was odd, only a tiny thing anyway overall very happy with it

How is the battery life on iPhone 6, do you get a full days usage?

With mid-heavy use I get 1 day. But usually left with 20-30% at the end of the day with light usage.

Would the 6+ make a big difference in terms of battery life?

Yeah definitely, a lot of people claiming to get 2 days battery with light usage, 1.5 days with heavy. It's definately a big difference though.

Sounds like something is eating your battery life. I've gotten 2 days out of my 6 with light usage.

murpho999

Also getting 2 days with light usage.

Delighted, so much better than the 4s.

Just wondering if it deterioates over time like other iPhones I have had.

DubDJ

I usually have everything turned on. Wifi, Bluetooth, gps, location services, background app refresh. But I'm happy with battery life, usually get 1.5 days without a charge so that's still impressive stuff with light usage.

My last phone and iPad were both White for iOS 7, but I've jumped ship back to black. I think it just looks better...

Get silver I had the same decision to make always had black iPhones and went for silver/white this time. Very pleased with the decision it looks so good in this colour and the space grey looks a little plain now when I see one.

It's funny, I have the opposite opinion.

I had a silver 5s and got the space grey 6. Looking at the 5s makes me think the silver looks plain. :pac:
