how is it a "SMART WATCH" if it needs the phone to work? Without the phone its just a DIGITAL WATCH!!!

Without a battery a digital watch is just a bracelet, what's your point?

I was intrigued by the iPhone 6 Plus as I've been using a OnePlus One for the past couple of weeks and while the size of it did take a bit of getting used to, coming from a 5" screen, it was great having the bigger screen.

I haven't felt the need to use a tablet while using it. If I wanted to do serious work I used my Macbook and if I was quickly browsing or watching a quick video the 5.5" screen was great.

I noticed though the 6 Plus is bigger (in width and height (and heavier)) than the OnePlus which has me a bit wary because I said I wouldn't go bigger than the OnePlus.

Here's a picture from TechRadar of the iPhone 5S on top of the OnePlus to give you an idea of the size difference.

I'd advise anyone who's upgrading from an iPhone 5S or below that hasn't used a phablet before to either wait to see the iPhone 6 Plus in person or go look at some phablets before you buy as they aren't for a lot of people.

Wow. That looks big. Was thinking about the 6+ myself. Is the 6+ much bigger than the phone in your pic???

I got the 32gb one on-line from Germany. It's actually quite a good phone pics are good and it is quick. The knock code thing is a wee bit annoying sometimes.

It doesn't feel that big and it feels light enough in everyday use if it had the front facing speakers of the m8 it would be fantastic.

Looking to move back to iPhone I think the apps are better and apples customer care is a big draw.

Cool thanks for that. If you ever think of selling drop me a PM !!

They haven't revealed anything other than the date yet.

I'm sure once you're due an upgrade/out of contract should be able to. Stock will be low though id imagine.

All watches have batteries.

Regular watches don't need a phone for it to function to its full capacity.

Smart watches do. Which, without a phone, makes it just a watch.

I thought that was obvious.

I'm stuck in contract for a while yet, 6S for me :P
