A couple of my coworkers have them already; haven't seen one of the big 6+ models. Screen size seems like a big improvement.

I wish Apple Pay was working so I could try it out(not supposed to be turned on until next month).

1password 5 for ios is awesome, it has safari and fingerprint integration now.

but you have to be careful if you restore the new phone from an itunes backup. Delete the app and download it again from itunes, establish the sync, and it should "restore purchases" to enable the "pro features" for people that previously purchased 1password for ios (for everybody else the basic features are now free, you pay to unlock the pro features.)

Be careful if you aren't syncing with dropbox or some external method if you need to delete the app to re-download it to enable the pro features. (The symptom is "restore purchases" doesn't, it just sits there and appears to hang.)

there were no issues with the upgrade to ios8, the only issue is with a new phone after restoring from a backup.

Ummm... ok, but it's not and it was clearly announced that it wouldn't be turned on at launch

1 password supports Touch ID now?

See that it's free but it's a freemium bait. I have the old version, not seeing big incentive to upgrade.

Does anyone have the 6+ yet? Would love to know your thoughts.

From what I have seen and read, they have almost caught up to Galaxy S5...

Having played with the iPhone 5, and 5s and the Galaxy S4 and S5 and owned the Note 2 and Note 3, this stuff's been mature for the last couple of years. Arguably even S3, other than that a lot of them were sold without LTE and the dual-core CPU in the US models of those would be too slow for many people today.

It's kind of like Mac vs. PC arguments; for most people, the big-picture difference haven't mattered in a while now.

I went to a Tmo store yesterday with a buddy who wants the Plus and the store manager said he doesn't think his place will have them for 3-4 weeks.

Don't tell this to the true believers in either side. They'll burn you at the stake for heresy! :D

Same at AT&T. We walked in yesterday to buy my wife a 6 and got the last one in the store with 64 GB storage. The store manager said they only received a couple of 6+ in each storage configuration. Apparently Apple only shipped around 3% of the 6+ compared to the 6.

The person I've been working with at US Cellular ordered me 2 of the Plus 64GB units on Friday morning and they were delivered to my house yesterday. Had it activated this morning. Numbers haven't ported yet -- I'm setting mine up now.

I wondered into a BestBuy on Friday and managed to get out of there with an iPhone 6 64GB on ATT. I hadn't planned on buying; figuring I would wait but they had them and there wasn't a huge wait. They also had 6+ on display so I played with it briefly- no way I would ever want that phone.. it's freaking huge... coming from a 5 the 6 is a lot bigger and takes some getting used to. Honestly there isn't anything super compelling in the 6 that I have found quite yet.. Oh the camera seems to meter better and take better pictures... touchid takes some getting used to but seems quicker if I remember not to swipe to unlock...

Depends on your previous experience. Coming from a Note 3, the phone feels pretty normal. When I pick up my daughter's 5s, it feels tiny.
