The “S” version is always the perfected version of whatever model of iPhone starting with the iPhone 3.
The iPhone 6 I really did not see any issues with it. Now iOS 8 had a few issues, but it was quickly resolved with iOS 8.1 and iOS 8.2. Today it’s at iOS 8.4.
On Wednesday iOS 9.0 comes out.
Any word on sales of the new Apple Surface or the watch?
Good to see that the Chinese show their patriotism by buying products made there.
Apple makes crappy products and then gets to sell the fixes as upgraded products. I wonder if they have to pay Microsoft a royalty fee for stealing their business model?

I have ordered a iPhone 6s Plus with 64GB, space grey. Looking forward to recieving it. I am not an Apple fanatic, just need a new phone. My old Galaxy Note II is getting pretty long in the tooth.
LOL.. Yes you mean the Apple Surface with the the new Type Cover?
I still am using my 3GS...
Xiaomi is outselling Apple. Apple is not making a profit there per unit sold. They charge their US and European dupes more to make up for this
I bought a 6 Plus a few months ago after agonizing over large vs medium size. I went with large screen for primary use with navigation (MapMyRun; GaiaGPS; Google Maps) and finding music and podcasts easier. It was a great decision. Now my old 4s looks pathetically small. You’ll love it.
You convinced me. Apple is a loser and going to be out of business by the end of the year. From now on, it’ll be Xiaomi products for me.
Sheesh. Can’t you just stay off the Apple threads?
By the way, my primary navigation is Waze, which I love because I can see traffic jams in real time.
Interesting. I held out for a large screen iPhone, but Apple bombed and came up with the weak 5s/c. So I bought a Note III instead. I really like the Note, but I want all my iTunes integrated with my phone. Also, the Note IV no longer has the flash card slot. So, I just ordered a 6s Plus 128GB.
Although I do think I will miss the Note pen, I am looking forward to no longer carrying my Note and my old iPhone 4 as my iPod.
Last year's preorders didn't include China. This year they do. Of course the numbers are up. China's about 30% of total iPhone sales.
You know, Moonman62, you are not telling the truth. Apple does not sell "fixes" at all. Bendgate as reported in your link had a total of NINE reported bent iPhone 6 plus phones sent back to Apple for repair. Nine. . . out of over 100 million sold. Nine.
Consumer Reports built a test jig for bending large format phones and found that Apple iPhones bent at higher weights than did any other large format phones on the market and withstood far more pressure before deforming than did the Samsung Galaxy, LG, or HTC large format phones before bending and even more before finally breaking, Sorry, it was FUD.
Hairgate turned out to be a hoax. . . as no one could possibly get their hair caught in the frame bezel between the screen and the frame, there literally was not room for anyone's hair to get in there because of the close tolerances Apple uses in making its products. The phones which were getting hair caught were Chinese knock-off copies of the iPhone made by Xiaomi. Even Xiaomi later improved the quality of the knock-offs.
iPhone 6 'Hairgate' Controversy Is Not The New Bendgate — Gordon Kelly ,CONTRIBUTOR—FORBES Magazine— October 14, 2014
I write about technology's biggest companiesThe latest iPhone ‘…gate’ has arrived. It is trending on Twitter TWTR -3.85% and has been written about on innumerable websites, including publishing heavyweights like Time and The Independent, which are queuing up to report that the new iPhone 6 is “ripping out” users’ hair. Inevitably ‘hairgate’ has been born.
Here’s the long and short of it: hairgate stems from a community post on popular Apple AAPL +0.87% site 9to5Mac in which the poster claims his hair gets caught in “the seam between the glass and aluminium” and “when you try to free it out, it hurts.” The post has been picked up on social media and gone mad.
There’s only one problem: it’s nonsense.
iPhone 6 edge is bevelled but there is no gap (image credit: Gordon Kelly)iPhone 6 edge is bevelled but thee is no gap (image credit: Gordon Kelly) Having reviewed the iPhone 6 and currently being in possession of an iPhone 6 Plus for Forbes’ upcoming longer term review, I can report the gap between the front glass and aluminium does not exist (photo above). There is a bevel, but the glass front panel is actually fused to the aluminium and the tiny gap you do see is significantly narrower than a human hair.
Furthermore even if a significant gap did exist, hairgate would still make no sense. It has been pointed out that ‘Gapgate’ on the Galaxy Note 4 (where a tangible gap exists in the phablet’s seam) was also present in both the Note 2 and Note 3 designs and owners go by without widespread reports of hair trauma. The Note 3 alone sold 10 million units in 2 months, so that’s a pretty wide test base.
The one thing that Apple did have a problem with that is true in that list of problems on Wikipedia is that a run of iPhone 6 Pluses between September and January of last year had some cameras that later developed focusing problems. Apple replaced all of those for free. NO CHARGE! You are an idiot if you claim that Apple charges for fixes.
This is MORE of your spit wads and disruption tactics throwing lies into the Apple threads. Try to do some minimal research before posting something YOU know nothing about, Moonman.
Xiaomi—— I own stock in it so I like to throw in a good word or two. Sword does it for Apple.
Yeah, how many $400.00 batteries have you had to put in it Huh? Huh? :-)
No, you both are referring to the iPad Pro. . . it won't be out until November.
