We’re just about an hour and a half from go time at the Apple keynote today. Jared has been in line for about an hour now, and is currently huddled in a mass of similar Apple fanatics refreshing Twitter while waiting for the line to move forward. The cool thing about having some boots on the ground at the keynote today is we’re expecting a hands on of the iPhone 6 (and potentially even the iWatch) as soon as the event is over.
We’ll be posting updates as things that pertain to gaming happen, but, if you’re somewhere that you can’t watch the video (like work!) and are interested in a full live blog experience, head over to our sister site MacRumors. Alternatively, if you want something even more low key to stay under the office radar, follow @MacRumorsLive. They’ll be tweeting the important stuff.
Or, if you want to harass Jared for the next 90 minutes while he waits in line, tweet at @JaredTA.
AT&T started this up about 15 minutes till 12pst, was smooth sailing when i ordered my phone.
Apple store was holding out until 5:15 am eastern time. I was able to order a 6 and 6+ only issue was the options for shipping the plus was 7-10 business after the launch date. Which was early October. However if I chose store pickup I was able to get it on the 19th. So naturally I chose to pick them both up at the store.
Since I already have an IPad, I'm going with the 6. The increase to 4.7 should make a big difference, and will still be usable with one hand. Something I require in a phone.
Man, hope it comes to South Africa soon! Grabbing a 64gb iPhone 6. :D
Sprint's site is still down.
Eli, when you write an article like this, you must first ask yourself, "Does my spirit animal like what I have wrote?"
So Eli ! which one did you pre order ? 6 or 6 Plus ?
So, how do people think about the new iphones? I personally don't like the design.. The side bezels are still large, and thinness over battery capacity is just.... I really want to game more on my phone.. Guess I'm sticking to my mini retina :)
The design is lovely and I have no issue with the side bezel. I'd like the top bezel to be smaller though. More battery life would have been nice, but the 4.7 is already a bit larger than I ideally wanted, so if that thinness makes such a big difference as a lot of the "hands-on" reports suggest then I can live with that.
The App Store opened late, but when it did my order went straight through with ease. 128gb silver iPhone 6.
My only regret is the probable 1gb RAM, which means if I try to stretch it out to three years it'll probably limp through the third year the way my 4s has limped through the last year.
Hahaha im exactly in the same boat, 3 years on my 4s and this 3rd year is def tough. Also getting 128gb 6 plus :)
Eh ill just get a galaxy note 4 😏
I was reading about the darn phone and ordering. Supposedly if you preorder the only way to be gaurenteed to get a phone is goto the store to pick it up. Like if you order it to your house you may be out on back order! Which sucks. Cause I ain't got no store around me! I read that on that 9 to 5 website btw. Hmmmm I want an unlocked phone. I got a gnote or two I can drop on one, Id give two just to be positive to get one lol.
