I've already got an iPad mini Retina and an iPhone 4S, and this thread has convinced me (was already 75% there) that getting the regular 6 for actual phone use is the move, despite the differences in battery life. I went and felt up some galaxy notes (roughly same width?) and man, that's a hefty phone to hold. Also, having a phablet and a tablet would leave me with no phone. Maybe a generation or two down the road I'll consolodate into the 7+ or whatever, but by then we'll all be wearing apple contact lenses and so on and so forth. For now, phone it is. The screen size difference from 4S to 6 is gonna be pretty big anyway.

So with the scaling issues, how bad of a performance hit are we talking about?

Have any other phones done downsampling in the past? Could give some slight insight into how performance may be. So far the only reference I have found is Ars' comment about choppiness of the UI relative to the 6, with no other real comment on it.

Vintimus Prime posted:So with the scaling issues, how bad of a performance hit are we talking about? Seriously dude, how do you expect anyone to know? The phone was just announced and has yet to be released. Also, I wouldn't be worried about a supposed performance hit regardless as I very highly doubt that Apple would release the 6+ if it was appreciably slower than the 6. It is likely a completely negligible difference. Also, I as well still don't know if I'm getting a 6 or 6+ yet, with under an hour to go before pre-orders open up. I definitely could use a bigger screen than on my 5, but the 4.7" IS already bigger than my iPhone 5 after all. But man, that big 5.5" screen with the 400+ ppi looks killer, even if the phone it's attached to would need to be air-lifted to my apartment via helicopter. Also the extra iPad like landscape features, OIS camera feature and better battery life (if their numbers are true) are really tempting. It would also be nice as I could likely sell off my iPad and just use the 6+ instead. I think I'll probably just go 6+ as I feel like I'd eventually regret it if I didn't. Or maybe what's actually going to happen is I regret getting the gigantic 6+ because it gives me a hernia from carrying it around. Seriously though, the weight obviously isn't the issue -- it's more it's large size/footprint taking up all that space in my pocket for the next two years I'm worried about. It's hard to know beforehand how annoying that is going to be. I know it's going to be annoying, it's just a question of how much. Will the usefulness outweigh the annoyance? Decisions...

I've somewhat comfortably fit my Nexus 7 in my pocket. I don't really foresee an issue with the 6+ unless skinny jeans are your thing.

Is a nexus 7 a tablet then? Hahaha, I thought he was talking about a phone at first. Yeah, that is pretty ridiculous friend. You've got some big rear end pants. I'm a small framed dude, and I don't wear skinny jeans, just, uh, normal jeans I guess. The phone will fit in my pockets from the dimensions I've seen, it's more about having a big rear end solid rectangular thing in my pocket I'm more worried about. It's so drat big I feel like it's going to impair normal movement and poo poo like that almost.

The 7 means it's a 7 inch screen. Realtalk if the big iPhones start a resurgence of people wearing JNCOs then I will pull out my Smashing Pumpkins Zero t-shirt and relive middle school all over again.

Get the 5.5'' iPhone 6 Plus so that when a woman asks you how you fit it into your pocket you can say "i'm used to having 5.5 inches in my pants."

Yeah, I had to swap between 6 and 6 Plus until the 6 was available, then I got hit with errors almost all the way down. I just hit the buttons again and then it was added to my cart, I paid the money, etc etc. Proof~ noirstronaut fucked around with this message at 08:59 on Sep 12, 2014 |

I hope Magpul makes a new version of their cases for the 6plus soon. Their iPhone 5 case is pretty much the only iPhone case I have ever liked. Simple, thin, tough, good grip, doesn't snag on my pockets. Gets the job done. It's likely they will take forever to release it though. I need to figure out a good slim case to use for the 6 plus until then. Maybe that silicon one Apple is selling, once they get back in stock that is.

Since I got my launch day iPhone 5S, I've had it in this card holder case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFGTCJO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VoUeub0ZDETVR And now that I've ordered a 6, I realized I don't carry my wallet with me anywhere at all. Tried ordering a Shenzhen special of similar but tackier design but it won't be here until probably October. Here's hoping The case selection improves as the dimensions have all been confirmed.

I am putting all my faith in Power Support releasing the best case to ever be created. Mostly because they're the only company that seems to realize that you don't need a massive cut out for every loving port on your phone.

Josh Lyman posted:Based on Apple's track record, it won't affect usability. To that point the 6+ likely has a higher heat envelope because of the size , so the A8 will likely be clocked higher than the 6.

I'll 100% vouch for any case Spigen makes, but mostly the tough armor line. Minimalist case designs, not super expensive, and easily as tough as an otter box. Their screen protectors are gorgeous too.

I've been awful at following all the iPhone stuff, but what exactly happens to multitasking on the 6 plus now that it has the screen shift functionality? Edit: Oh apparently it's a soft tap of the home button. Interesting. The Dave fucked around with this message at 16:08 on Sep 12, 2014 |

Android phones have been doing all sorts of weird subpixel rendering and downsampling on terribly underpowered hardware since like 2010 I don't think the scaling will be noticeable even to people who are looking for it this is apple
