Nice phone but I am surprised it doesn't have OIS- almost like Apple wants to push people towards the 5.5 one. I don't mind because I prefer phablets anyway but I believe more people prefer smaller phones. Another surprise is different screen resolutions- what it is up with that?

Anyway apple store is now showing the prices for iPhone 6 and 6 plus- £539 for 16 gb , £619 for 64 (excellent price) and £699 for 128 gb. I reckon this one will sell really well ( I will probably still buy the 5.5 version )

Comp against the alpha and the z3 compact

I will take the iPhone just because of the software, but the other two have much better cameras, and are better packaged..

Its ultimately dull isn't it ?

I think the best iPhone at the moment is the 5c, at least with colours like that it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Very little upgrade apart from chipsets. And they're still using the iSight moniker.. so basically its got an 8mp camera. Nothing more, nor less. Still the same Apple bullsh** year in, year out.

^ yes, its mostly software enhancement around the camera, the hardware is probably the same.. even the optics. That 30mm focal length is awful for landscape photography.

It doesn't matter.. they will still sell millions

Yeah, the camera is a massive disappointment. I was hoping for the rumoured 1/2.3" 13MP Sony sensor... Maybe they'll stick it in the 6S.

All they said is that it's a new sensor. I think they just added phase detection AF.

Also the space grey version looks ugly, should be black at the back.

^The new focus system sounds really promising tho.. can't wait to test it out. I agree with you on the sensor.. I was expecting the same.

The 6s and the 7 are probably going to start taking imaging a bit more seriously, this is still "by the way" kind of thing.. there is a reason why they hired one of the best imaging engineers from Nokia a while back. The 6 was already in development when he got there, so there is no way he would have any significant input.

I wonder if they can make this any thinner..



I do like the design.. the curved glass reminds me of the N9

Phase detection?? Hmmm, copying Samsung's AF system now Friend of mine has moved away from iPhones because every model he has had since the very first one still seem to have too many dropped calls and reception problems. It seems Apple can still not get the basics right.

I have one burning question to Apple fanboys, when Sony, Samsung and others released phones a wee while ago with NFC you laughed at the security risks it entails. Oh and all of sudden your latest phone uses the same tech, so my question is how do you feel now with your so called vulnerable device now? Dont give me the touch ID excuse, Samsung already offer that but to be honest it makes ifans look stupid when they comment on tech thats not in their idevices and claim it to be a negative, but when your loyal company embrace eventually you go silent......

@etabb I always laugh at the iSight moniker. Using a Sony lens and rebranding it with ipoo. Apple are simply a very good marketing company nothing more now. Dont get me started on the iWatch lol
