I would have gone for the regular 6 if not for the battery life issue, from reviews it has similar battery life to the 5S which won't cut it for me.

tried many times to enjoy using Android (had the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, SE Xperia Neo, Samsung GS 1, 2 and 4 so it's not for want of trying..) but the input lag still kills me every time.

so far so good on the 6 Plus. the size is without a doubt a tad unwieldy but the leather case helps give grip, the naked aluminium casing feels slippery otherwise. battery life is excellent (but ask again in 6 months after it starts to degrade), after 14 hours off the charger during a work day it was still at 50% charge.

I'm looking forward to the release of Nexus 6. Although it is considered a "phablet" at 5.9" and I'm not sure how I feel about that. How do any of you feel about larger phones? I dropped a galaxy s4 once, before I got the nexus 5.

[lowrey]

Sizing was just discussed above, personally I think 5" is the perfect size, the Nexus 5 fits in all of my pockets as well as my hand, and it's big enough for me to never use my tablet. 6" might be pushing it..

Ever since I stopped putting phones in my pocket size has become less important. As long as the phone fits in my wallet then my experience doesn't really change.

That being said the iPhone 6 Plus huge, too big IMO. But since it still fits in my wallet I am keeping it. I will say I am enjoying the larger screen for viewing media and it almost makes my iPad mini redundant.

Here's how my wallet / phone combo works for those curious.

I feel like with the 6, Apple has abandoned the Jobs ethos of "we tell consumers what they want" and into "we are just another company whom consumers tell what they want." Personally, I liked the Jobs ethos. Anyway, the 6 seems to be a hit on the market.

I wonder how the watch will do.

Has any of you bought an UHDTV set yet?

[deltapie]

I wonder how the watch will do.

terribly most likely. the appeal of the smartwatch (and not just apple's) is very limited, it doesn't really do anything you can't accomplish by busting out your phone.

Faust are you looking at buying a 4K TV soon? Just like HD in the beginning there is not that much content available.

Here is a good read to start with.

The other issue you going to have when looking at TVs is that most of the retailers leave a feature on called Auto Motion, Auto Motion Plus or something similar also know as the "Soap Opera Effect." Ask them to turn it off.

Thanks. Not looking to buy any soon. I am not an early adapter. Just thinking that my next TV set should already be one that's future-proof. But I don't mind waiting a couple of years.
