Which iPhone 6 are you considering?

    I don't know whether I should get a white one or a black one. Lots of people say the white contrasts with the black screen so black is better. Then again everyone who has an iPhone seems to get black so it seems kind of plain.

    I really like the 6 plus gold. Fairly hefty price but it looks class. Might treat myself for the Xmas.

    Yeah I want 64gb storage though and on the 6 plus that's way too expensive for me. So I'll just have to get a regular iPhone 6.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭hoodwinked


    i want the 6plus in 64gb silver or space grey, my contract isn't up until July though so i'll know by then which i want and it also depends on contract price,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,293 ✭✭✭Simply Red


    I'll be ordering the 6 plus in space grey in 64gb, have always preferred the darker iphones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 213 ✭✭blacknight83


    think I'll be maxing out my cc on the 6+ 64gb silver!! I'm sure adverts will be a wash of iphone 5/5s over the next month

    Just put mine up today!

    64gb 6 in silver
    Glad to see the the 32gb options been done away with. Have a 64gb 4s & couldn't find/get a 64 gb 5s on bill pay for love nor money.
    Any ideas of a contract price for the 64?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭nailforhammer


    I'm leaning towards the white one now but still not sure. People say the black is better as the border fades into the background while in use whereas with the white you can clearly see the borders of the screen which being black contrast with the white border.
    Has anyone had a a Black iPhone 5 and then a white iPhone 5S or similar with a 4S?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,865 ✭✭✭✭MuppetCheck


    Silver Plus I think. Don't think I'd need the 128GB so probably the 64 although I've been able to bargain with Vodafone in the past on the price of an upgrade so if I got the 128 for a good price then it might be a better option come resale time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,155 ✭✭✭Jofspring


    Have an iPhone 5 in white, was going to go back to black for the 6 but after seeing clips of the white I'm torn.

    My main issue is iPhone 6 or 6 plus.

    iPhone 6 32gb for me anyway...

    16gb not enough, 64 too much!

    there is no iPhone 6 32gb anymore.16 go 64 and 128gb


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭F34


    I'm thinking the 6 plus 64gb will do me nicely. Now the question is will they allow pre orders.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,780 ✭✭✭Frank Lee Midere


    Definitely not the plus.

    Lads the 6+ I'm interested in but think it might be to big, just wondering what on the market at the moment is comparable to that size?

    I had the 3gs and then switched to a White 4s and I really like the white.

    I really don't get this White border being an issue or black fading into background.

    I find I just focus on the screen and don't worry about the bezel.

    I think it looks smarter and it stays cleaner.

    6 64gb in space grey. Think the plus will be too big to carry in my pocket. Sucks to miss out on OIS, but it's hopefully still gonna be a great phone. Well also be my return to ios after using a Nexus for the last 6 months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21 freelife2014


    Love big screen ,but much bigger than i can care for

    by white, I assume we mean silver with white Front

    I can see a full white phone like the old 5 white

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,066 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    Hoping to get the 64GB 6 in Silver. I'm currently on a 30 day rolling bill, and would prefer to stay on it, but I'm also reluctant to fork out 800 quid for the phone sim free so I'm a bit torn at the moment!

    Yea I can't decide what size either, think I will wait till I can physically pick one up. But I'm leaning towards the smaller one at the moment!

    Don't know why they done away with the 32gb, surely made more sense to get rid of the 16gb


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,563 ✭✭✭✭peteeeed


    think i'm going for 64gb 6 plus, battery life is a big factor for me , its ticks all the boxes for that
    i'm going to go into a shop and have a looks at the 5.5 inch androids already on the market and see what they feel like factoring in that the 6 plus will be thinner

    Because they knew if they got rid of the 16gb and had 32 as the standard they wouldn't sell near as many 64gb versions.

    I was in a shop yesterday and looking at the Note 3. Was also looking at a scaled printed out some one posted yesterday.

    I think I'm gona go for the 64gb Space Grey. I'd prefer the 6 Plus but I think its too big and would take away from my mini


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭nailforhammer

    Yes the silver one. I just call the iPhone colours black, white and gold because "Space Grey" makes me cringe.

    They only thing I don't really like about the black iPhone 6 is how the black ring on the fingerprint scanner is the same colour as the bezel. I like how on the silver one the ring is silver and it makes the home button stand out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,442 ✭✭✭McGrath5


    I think I am going to go for the 64gb Plus, I was considering getting an iPad, but I think this device will suffice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,824 ✭✭✭Doodah7


    For those unsure of the size of the new phones, the following resource allows you to print off and try before you buy...

    be sure the file is printed on 8.5″ x 11″ paper and it is set to 100% scale...

    Space grey. Plus. 64GB. Provided vodafone don't charge the heavens & earth for this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,407 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke


    I'm an android user who has gone from an Huaweii P6 (a 720p 4.7" phone smaller then the 6) to a OnePlus One (a 1080p 5.5" phone smaller and narrower but thicker then the 6 Plus).

    I bought the OnePlus without actually knowing that is was a 5.5" screen opened the box and went "feck, that's too big. I screwed that up" however now I wouldn't be without the extra real estate. It's awesome and makes browsing and using the phone a lot more pleasurable.

    So my 2c is that if you are on the fence and money isn't an option then get the plus, in the long run you probably won't regret it in the slightest.

    Just pre ordered as Sena UltraSlim case for the iPhone 6 so thats my decision made!

    It's an expensive test though :-).

    How long did it take you to get used to it? I have played with 5.5" screens and thought " too big" and I said on here already I wouldn't get the plus. However if there was a chance that I would get used to it I might reconsider.

    i had a nexus 4. Had all sorts of problems with it. Returned it twice and eventually got a full refund


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,157 ✭✭✭srsly78


    Better stick to the iphone then, they never have any defects. Not a single one has ever been returned.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 41,550 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo

    Had decided a while ago on the iPhone 6 instead of the plus but now the seed of doubt has been firmly planted :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,407 ✭✭✭✭justsomebloke

    I only spent €350 on my 64Gb phone so I'm afraid it wasn't the same risk for me as it will be for you

    I actually got use to it pretty quickly but I did have a 4.7" phone for a good while so may I was just ready to jump up. It probably depends on if you are a strict one handed phone person as then it may be just to big.

    The one thing I would say is that I'd say a lot of people are going to make the "wrong" choice, and I'd say there will be a lot of people looking to swap between screen sizes so I wouldn't be too worried


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 41,550 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    Well that's us decided. Just ordered two of these.

    Spigen iPhone 6 Case Ultra Hybrid Crystal clear (AIR CUSHION) (PET) SGP10954 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JH88D1O/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_s2Ceub09G87Q2


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭nailforhammer


    Can anyone help me decide.... I can either get a 64GB iPhone 6 or a 16GB iPhone 6 Plus. If only the plus had 32GB rather than 16GB. I don't think I'd be able to afford a 64GB 6 plus.
    I guess I have to decide which is more important bigger battery or bigger storage.

    is there not a lot of bulk in them?

    I'd guess that 16GB storage will be a massive pain for you to deal with. I've checked my phone (HTC One), I don't store music (thanks Spotify) or videos on the phone but am still using in the region of 18-20 GB min. 32GB would be sweet spot, but there you go..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,783 ✭✭✭✭Snake Plisken


    Extremely sneaky of Apple dropping the 32gb ank keeping the minuscule 16gb! I think I'll be going with the 6 this year.

    Hopefully not. I currently have a Poetic Atmoshere and Spigen Slim Armour for my 5 and seemly the Ultra Hybrid is thinner than the slim armour.

    Will know next week either way :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights


    The 64GB will be the same price as the 32GB in previous models, same as the 128GB and old 64GB.
