QUOTE(Drian @ Nov 14 2014, 10:53 AM) I find myself using the plus very often now. Some people find it big, but i find it OK. Can't do 1 hand though. Now I'll watch you tube on my wireless headphone while on the treadmill because the screen is big enough. Even I can't use the 6 with one hand, let alone 6 Plus. Small hands problem.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 14 2014, 04:09 PM) +1. Not only the space grey looks boring, it's colours are pretty bland and doesn't show the curves of the IPhone 6/6+. A lot of people got bored of it after some time. Yeah, even my iPad is white. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 14 2014, 05:59 PM) Based on all I've read in various forums, I would be willing now to consider the 6 over the 6 Plus, but if the battery life is in iPhone 5 category then I would really, really regret it, haha... Hmm, maybe I will do battery test tomorrow and share the result with you unker.

QUOTE(da3shou3 @ Nov 15 2014, 02:54 PM) Check the Photo settings. I think you have photo stream to iCloud enabled. Nope, it is disabled. Maybe it is at 40% because I did not disable it right out of the box ?

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 15 2014, 03:35 PM) It's ok la bro, I'm convinced the 6 won't last me through the day on a single charge. Thanks anyway! You better get the 6 Plus then. I want an iPhone with a long battery life, but with the size of the current 6. Unfortunately, that's not possible at the moment.

QUOTE(da3shou3 @ Nov 15 2014, 03:37 PM) Hmm. Why Settings app is using cellular data?! 1/2 of my data consumption came from there duh.  Maybe it's Diagnostics & Usage ? It's part of the Settings too right ?

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 15 2014, 04:19 PM) Ya, that's the plan, but reading all about the bugs and yet to be optimized apps somewhat bothers me, haha That will come later I think. Apple will sort the out the bugs and developers will optimize their apps for the bigger screen. So, no worries.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 15 2014, 06:30 PM) Hence my dilemma to either invest in a 64GB 6 Plus now for the long term and wait patiently for updates or get a 16GB 6 first to satisfy my materialistic cravings (not helped by my active participation here) and go for the S version next year., hahaha Seriously, 16GB is too small. But, why not get the 16GB first, and when 64GB is available, unker can sell the 16GB and use the money to buy the 64GB iPhone 6 Plus ?

QUOTE(slickz @ Nov 16 2014, 12:35 AM) That's certainly a possibility. There's another possibility in that the A8 processor can't run it at the same framerate as the 6. Think about it, the same processor needs to work harder to push images to a 1080x1920 pixels vs 750x1334 screen. Of course the smaller screen would have performance left to spare. I think this is true. 6 Plus has more resolution to deal with. QUOTE(Lynixx @ Nov 16 2014, 11:10 AM) after few days of dilemma,finally i've sent my 6+ to warranty due to yellowish at the top of the screen. hopefully they will replace a non-yellow screen phone for me... *god-bless* Did you bought your 6 Plus from Apple Store ?

QUOTE(Fjive @ Nov 16 2014, 11:47 AM) after a visit to http://oneofthenine.com/, will definitely be extra careful with my new 6+ (when i get it...) I guess it's ok if you don't put your phone in your back pocket and sit on it, it's made of aluminium for god's sake. Enough pressure or weight will bend it.

I took this screenshot while I was in the car when the battery was about to die. LTE was on, Background app refresh turned off for most apps, and brightness at around 45%. Location Services turned on for certain apps and services with most of iCloud settings enabled. 7 hours and 2 minutes attw

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 17 2014, 04:19 PM) Wow, this is pretty good even for a 6...  I think it will be slightly longer with LTE disabled. Oh well, I will test it again later, maybe with 30% brightness.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 17 2014, 07:20 PM) Usually I set 50% brightness and leave everything like Location and LTE on. Why buy a phone to shut off half the features just to conserve battery life? (of course, if it's gimmicky stuffs like smart stay, glove mode, etc. then by all means shut off) haha.. No choice unker as the 6 Plus is too big for me, and I don't like big phones. Well, I hope to see better battery life on the 6S.
