QUOTE(benny888 @ Nov 5 2014, 08:55 AM) Even TechnoBuffalo editor said he faces same problem with his ip6+ 128 GB model - recall possibility ?? I don't think so. One user posted the Korean site analysis of this issue yesterday or 2 days back and one guy even said is unreliable probably a Samsung concocted fake news !!! I remember some ip6+ users here had reported too similar issues with their phones Even if this is true, I seriously doubt Apple will admit and will just replace the problematic sets Latest news Apple had denied such a recall of the 128GB ip6+ but the rumour of this set being problematic is still there http://www.technobuffalo.com/2014/11/04/ap...l-on-its-hands/Been reading about this as well... Now having second thoughts about getting the 128GB model  |

So far my couple of hours with the 6+
1) Slightly larger than the S3 that I used (before I jumped ship to 5S) but acceptable
2) Doesn't feel "balanced" (maybe need to get used to it). When using the device the top sometimes feels heavier and can do backflip out of your hands... I prefer bottom heavy.
Other than that, relatively happy with purchase... other annoyances are lack of "perfect" accessories but that will come slowly.

There was overflow of gold units... that's why lots of gold balance. I think today stock in was about 60+% gold for the reseller (and not because they ordered gold on purpose) I got my device from.

I don't find WhatsApp on the 6+ ugly... but I think the huge fonts are a waste of the screen real estate. I'm on team tiny fonts.

Further notes after more usage... 1) Agree with others about the "smoothness" on the 6+... It's smooth most of the time, but once in awhile it has short periods where it feels like the phone is mining bitcoins in the background or folding proteins. 2) 802.11ac interestingly drops from time to time, not completely drop, but drops to 802.11n. It's annoying to be transferring something at 30MB/s and then suddenly... 6MB/s... WTF  |

No crashing/boot loop problems with my 128GB here so far (except AC WiFi dropping to N randomly and non optimized apps).

I've got a 6+ 128GB... just had Chrome crash on me twice in a row with 2 tabs open (never happened before on 5S). No idea if it's one off or related to the "supposed" NAND issues. Hope not  |

Day 4 of my 6+... WhatsApp (and other unoptimized apps) are getting annoying with how laggy they are. Couple of Chrome crashes in a row have me paranoid that my 128GB is one of the lemons I read about online.
On the bright side, reducing Text Size to the lowest settings under Display & Brightness has made most things look more "normal" to me (especially WhatsApp).
(I still want smaller fonts)

I noticed something strange about my 6+... not sure if any of the other 6+ owners have experienced this (or maybe even the normal 6 users)...
I have difficulty pulling up Control Center (swiping up from bottom of the screen) sometimes... it's inconsistent. Sometimes I'll be swiping up for 10-20 seconds and the phone refuses to register the swipe (but registers that I touch whatever else is near the bottom of the screen like buttons)... some times it takes a few tries... other times it works perfectly.

Also beginning to feel like it's quite difficult to tap the top of the screen (to go to the top of a page for example). I seem to be tapping whatever is just below the "status bar" instead... Almost feels like the bar is thinner than on the 5s.

IPhone 6+ battery life is impressive so far (assuming I don't use Waze)... Attached thumbnail(s)
