I'm going to get one when they come out. I'm due an upgrade and looks like its going to be as good as the competition.
I had an iphones 2,3 and 4. I fancied a change and liked the spec and feel of the Samsung S4 so decided to upgrade. The worst thing I ever did. Doesn't pick up signal where my previous phones did, the battery is dead by 8pm each night. Android OS is cluncky. Absolutely bloody awful phone. I'm still using my iphone 4 for day to day use and S4 for my foreign sim.
I for one can't wait to buy a good phone. Ill give the new iphone a couple of months for all the bugs to come out.
Just me getting weird ass double music on the live stream?
Soooooo.
Asian audio track, interlaced video and buffering.
Going well so far.
Did they get you to do the test card Jamie? Not up to your usual standard.
Now I know why Apple don't do usually live stream these events.
As it appears they are not very good at it.
It's an iPhone!
It's not small.

Just a cosmetic redesign and the front screen menu can go to landscape. Plus minot tweaks here n there.......
The live feed feed is a disgrace
Apparently "the biggest advancement in iPhone history" according to Tim Cook. So far I'm assuming he's referring to the price.
two different sizes iphone6 4.7inch and 6+ at 5.5 inch
Thinnest they've made
Somewhere, a statistician is keeling over.

50 x faster than original iPhone. So Apple, your bench marking the new one against a 7 year technological advance
CNET live blog is quite fun.

Edit 1: Feed is back. So is the Asian dual audio.
Edit 2: Now working as it should...ish.
Edit 3: Feed is dead again. Back to CNET.
It has built in Strava
Maybe not the best guy to tell me to walk up some more stairs.

I can live without thinner - I might sit on it in my back pocket and break it (and I'm no lard ass).
As for that performance graph, oh dear.

aaaaaand I'm done with the live feed.

...also, how we all doing?

the Wifi and VOLTE calling will be pretty useful - EE are just about to turn on their 800 Mhz 4G network which should give much better rural voice and data coverage compared to the "old" 900 Mhz 2G services on Vodafone and o2. EE are one of 2 partners Apple are working with worldwide to get the tech working.
Some interesting shirts.
do like that 🙂
$499 top whack isn't on that bingo though. I like.

They really should have to state the base cost of the associated 2 year contract too. Cheapest iPhone is $0 apparently 😕
ZOMG! ITZ A iWOTCH!
Only for cool kidz need apply, like this hipster:

I bet Bono's got one.
Anyway, iWatch...meh.
Eagerly anticipating the price 🙂
Blimey, Apple alchemists have even developed a new gold for the watch! Much better that normal gold apparently.
It'll not be cheap anyway 🙂

OFFS.
That phone had better work well 'cos it ain't gonna make it on looks.
I quite like the iWotch for getting around.

Charge your (350 USD) watch every night... err no.
No iWatch for 4/4S.
...also, no wireless charging? Booo!
U2, ugh, the tax dodging good-for-nothings...
Watch is a bit meh. I'll be getting a 128gb iphone 6 though.
For a company that likes to think of itself at the cutting edge, the irony of dragging on U2 seems lost.
Think I could be tempted by the 128GB 6 as well.
U2 are here.
*turns off feed*
So, its like a pebble but sh**ter and more expensive, yeah?

I don't see the point of the iWatch (other than to sell more devices), but the thing about battery life misses the point. It's a computer, not a watch. If you use your laptop all day its battery will also die.

No. No it's not..erm...yeah!
Being able to pay with you watch would be pretty sweet....

I think the iphone6 will be my next phone... I'm liking the look of it. Not sure about the watch though... I think I would only use the fitness side of things.... Making it a bit wasted on me.

Well it doesn't miss the point for me. I agree that it's a "digital device" rather than a watch; but it's yet another device, with its own dedicated charger, which needs regular charging, and needs the phone.
As you have to have an Iphone 5 or above to use it, it's doubly pointless.
Having seen the price on the apple store for the 6 plus did I miss something? I thought I heard 499 USD, which has translated in to 789 GBP for the 128GB, 699 GBP for the 64GB and 619 for the 16GB.

As they said on CNet:
The watch will appeal to people with disposable income...and who want to remain single 🙂
A watch with navigation and cycle stats displayed on it? That'd be handy.
Bit like this really:

For the price you'd be better off just bar mounting an old iPhone.
needs the phone.
Which, for me at least, misses the point. I want to get rid of the phone, not carry yet another device.
Passbook on the watch is quite neat

I have an android wear watch and ViewRanger. It's good for navigation when stopped or going slow enough to take a good look, as it saves digging the phone out the bag or pocket, but IMO couldn't be used on the bars as the screen isn't big enough and in direct sunlight it's not clear enough.
Lol at everyone saying "misses the point" when they've defined what they think the point is themselves.
I think it's cool. The only reason I might not get it is I don't generally wear a watch so I'll have to feel what's like to wear before I splash my cash!
Give it a couple of years and everyone will have one anyway so there's no point fighting it 🙂

I think that type of device is a long way off. You'd have to fit a lot more in the watch as it would need an antenna, GPS, bigger memory which would all need a bigger more powerful battery.

Except, those things are already here. We were discussing them the other day. They're just a bit big.I think that type of device is a long way off.

US prices were with a 2 year contract - UK are SIM free
They've done it again, the phone is history [u]watch[/u] this space!

I was eyeing up this at the time:
Damn thing is half an inch thick though. Top to bottom is 2.3", that's taller than my wrist is across.

Ok I withdraw my like 🙂
Assume £300 ish is going to only be on £70 monthly contracts.
Quite like the watch as a plaything. No mention of IPX rating on it or the 6?

iWatch + handlebar mount + offline maps = too small to be of much use for navigation.
FTFY

I am surprised they are allowed to use the contract prices as headline prices. Still reckon 800 quid is pretty good given the use my 4 has had. And with the bigger display, better processor, etc I can see it taking on some of the things I'd be previously going to the iPad for. I'll be getting one.
iLike the iPhone 6 128gb so i'll ave iT and das iWotch soi'll ave iT too.. 8)
iNNiT
Don't be an iDonut, Bikeboy.
My android watch is great and no doubt the apple one will be just as good and is a lot better looking than the early android offerings (moto 360 and LG G watch R look nice though).
i iS only kiDdiN iNNiT..
But quite like the way they look, and iGuess they'll be just lovely to handle..
However i"Ve triEd looking at the Apple siTe and iT's all gawn bolliX iNNiT wiV fanbouys gate crashiNg the siTe.. So iGuess i'LL have to waiT won't i..

Probably right about the iWatch not being a very good idea for a bike computer. OH WELL.
Right, I'm off to figure out a way of deleting that new U2 album from existence forever.
After looking at the gallery on the Apple site I reckon they'll sell ****in millions of those iWatches.
And aftermarket suppliers will be designing new blingy straps already.
After looking at the dimensions, I'm out! It's far to bloody big to put in a pocket at 138mm long. Second hand 5s here I come!
To be honest I'm gutted as I really wanted one 🙁
What about a bigger pocket?
😀
Not a bad shout but I quite like my current pockets, the things massive and the plus is ****ing gigantic!

Mmmm. Cherry picking.
Yes yes, I know. It's not the full story. Still amusing though.

I'm with you on that. One of the reasons (besides money) that I still use a 4S is because I like the size.
I like being able to reach the whole screen with my thumb, I like that I can barmount it on my bike without creating a spoiler, and I like being able to sit down with it in my pocket.
Same for me - the 6 is far too big for my pockets, i'm perfectly happy with my 64gb 5s i bought last December as my iPhone 4 had cracked screens back and front, iPhone 4 is relegated to digital/internet radio duties in the kitchen and i'm sure the 5s will last me another couple of years.
I'll be buying an iwatch when they come out though, i like it.
The watch is fugly. Also having to have a constant connection to the phone sounds like a battery killer for both devices.
New phone looks good but possibly a bit big for me.
For some reason I decided to read some of the comments on the news article about the launch on The Guardian - urghhh! Some people seem to be very insecure/obsessed about their technology buying choices.

Stop wearing your sister's jeans! 😉
Going to be a 5.5", 128Gb iP6 early next year. Already upgraded my network contract, the phone's a separate deal on O2 now, so going to wait until the fuss dies down a bit.
Just had a new battery put in the 5, so it's good for a while longer.
That big screen's going to be great for maps, and 128Gb is GREAT for music!
lol Cougar, I'd have thought they would at least go for the Nexus 5 as a benchmark. Though at least now they have invented the watch so they can go about chasing everyone with a watch for IP.

I would like an iPhone that doesn't emit blue light.
