    Yep, and what does the delivery date say?

    If it says "delivers 25/9 in most areas" it'll be at PM on Friday the 25th and you'll have it the Saturday! ;)

    Still no confirmation email. Wonder is it worth chasing up?

    Edit: just chatting to someone on the live chat and it's just a back log of orders and all is good. So people waiting on emails can relax :)

    Not only are you unable to interpret your opinion from a fact you're now putting words into my mouth? You got all that from three words. Good job.

    Given your only argument is "in your opinion" what's he going to say? Of course it's his opinion.

    Also troll off to the non Apple forum ( the mobile forum) to discuss this.

    I had reserved one for collection in Belfast on the Friday but I decided to order on the website instead and deliver through Parcel Motel for hopefully the Saturday! Saves having to take the day off work and drive up. I ordered the black leather case too so I hope limited quantities of that doesn't affect the delivery date!

    My first new iPhone since my 3 year old iPhone 5 :D

    I think I'll wait and see what content is available on the Apple TV here in Ireland before looking at one seriously. These things always look more impressive when demo'd in the US because they have all the american content licensing.

    I wonder will Sky Go work on it? There's an iOS app for that, right? Do all iOS apps work on the TV out of the box or do content owners need to republish their apps?

    They'd have to rework the apps for the Apple TV, and probably have to go through an approval process again as an app update i'd imagine.

    I'm curious will apps that are built for portrait mode use be reworked for the TV or will app devs just not bother with the Apple TV. Games like Monument Valley would look great on TV but it's not made for landscape viewing and probably wouldn't be worth the time.

    Probably get one in a few months.

    Think I'll go silver just because I prefer the white bezel around the screen rather than the black that comes with the space grey.

    Collect from Belfast store or order through Parcel Motel.

    Otherwise, www.apple.ie should get them a month or so after the UK store does.

    I've one reserved to collect in the afternoon. Needed to make sure to have plenty of time to get the train up.

    I went for the 64GB gold 6s plus. I'm constantly thinking I made the wrong decision! I'm using a 5s now and I think I may have underestimated just how big the plus model is. I'm fairly short and have small hands so it'll probably be ridiculous. :pac:

    As long as I'll be able to fit it in my pockets I should be able to manage haha.

    The Plus is huge coming from a 4 or 5, but in my experience, you get used to it very quickly and going back would be impossible.

    I feel like the Hulk whenever I try to use the 4 now, but I found it perfectly serviceable and easy to use when it was my daily phone. It's amazing how frustrating and tiny and fiddly I find the smaller key sizes after using the Plus. I think I'll be sticking with the phablet size for the future.

    In the event it doesn't suit you, though, at least you have until they become available in the South to shift it quickly-- and likely for a profit.

    You didn't make the wrong decision.

    I thought the same when I got my 6+, but after 2 days use, my wife's 5 felt tiny, now almost a year on, I'd never consider anything smaller, even a 6 feels small in comparison. Give it a week or so and you'll be forever in love!

    Apologies, as I'm sure this question has been asked a million times already, but no reasonable person is going to go through pages and pages of posts. Q: Do we have any educated guesses as to when Irish networks will start selling the 6S ?

    Thanks.

    Each year it's getting sooner and sooner, last year we got it one week after the first release tier of countries. So far stock hasn't been as sparce as previous years so I'd fully expect it to be roughly a week or so again.

    I thought the plus was too big but six months in and my 6 felt like the 5. It still seems very small. Can't wait to move over to the plus.

    A Sky Go app would be nice. And not impossible since they have apps for PS4 and XBox so we'll wait and see.

    A NowTV app is a definite.

    ah in that case. I have a 6 and if I was buying a 6S I'd be going Plus and will be for the 7 (if the Plus size is available). It's not that much bigger, better battery life and the fact that it's now ultimately a computer for me means the 6 Plus is better suited to me.

    I might wait for the 7 to get the plus size just to see what it's like. I had a friend who had a 6 Plus and it seemed like a monster in my hand. Not very convenient in the pocket of skinny jeans :P

    On the 6 and the 5 series, despite my initial skepticism, feels a little dinky. Still awkward for one-handed use. I'm on the tick schedule so looking forward to my 7 next year!

    I did and I love it..
    The 5s fitted my hand perfectly and one handed no problem.
    I found the 6 bigger and had to sometimes use 2 hands so I said to hell with it...If i'm going to struggle I might as well go the whole hog and get the 6+ and I love it...well worth the jump up.
