    I kept the radiator turned off in my room in the winter as the G5 kicked out enough warm air to keep it comfy in the evenings....

    We couldn't expect a company that's in the repair business to just simply say "AWESOME" now could we. They would love lots of little screws and stuff to make their lives easier, but that wasn't Apple's intent.

    This is the biggest sticking point for me. I will need to see real world statistics on battery life before I commit to a model or not.

    I REALLY wish they had made the iPhone 6 enclosure flush with the camera lens and used the extra space to bump up the battery capacity.

    I think a lot of people will be opting for the 6+ just for the higher resolution and PPI display and increased battery when size-wise at least they would be better suited to the smaller model.

    You might want to take a look at this review from a notable professional photographer first... before continuing down-hill with your wishes and predictions.

    Full review - GREAT video and Pictures - also professionally compared to 5S side-by-side

    I can now finally tell everybody that I have one that's 4.7 inches long.

    1) Please don't tell that to 'everybody'.

    2) I guess the compass app on that new iPhone laying there now shows this?

    No Samsung parts...

     

    Ouch! That's gotta hurt.

     

    No wonder Samsung's ad campaign has picked up - not only are they going to lose phone sales, they lost component sales as well. These new iPhones are a lose-lose for Samsung

    Yeah, that makes me mad to no end.

    I'm just wondering why you care so much? Its not like the 5C or 5S was slow or anything, even running iOS 8. There's a reason why Apple never gives you the specs of the phone because it doesn't really matter.

    I got the 6 plus for the camera and screen size as well as true 1080P so the movies that I watch will be at its true resolution.  750 just doesn't work for me and having a screen over 1080P doesn't make sense either.

    That makes zero sense; you can't see the individual pixels on the smaller screen anyway.

    Who manufactured the A8?

    Except for the A8 and the DRAM, yeah.

    Hey, stike vomit, why not just NOT post? Thanks in advance.


     

    Can't take a Joke? Just stop me then. Oh, wait. You can't anymore.

    It's not about seeing the pixels, it's about the arithmetic of scaling: The round-off error involved, and how many pixels are displayed as-is vs. calculated. Native resolution is always best, but failing that, the largest common divisors should be small, like 1080/720 is 3/2. 750 lines is going to be horrendous for any standard video format: in particular, 750/1080 is 125/180! The artifacts due to this will be noticeable, rest assured.

    I’m glad to see that we’re in agreement about you, at least.

    An article on 9to5Mac says that the A8 is from TSMC.

    The A8 is fabricated by TSMC and the DRAM by Hynix and Elpida.

     

    So, as I stated earlier... no Samsung parts

    Yah

    "Latest news from @Chipworks: The A8 processor was fabricated at TSMC and uses a 20 nm CMOS manufacturing process."
