It's a bummer they are keeping the base model at 16GB. It's pretty obvious that it's an intentional move to force people up to the 64/128GB models.

Re: iPhone 6
#22ALL iPhone generations released so far have a CSS pixel width of 320 pixels. But the iPhone 6 is the first to change this. It looks like Apple is finally bumping this up! This means a bit more text can fit on each line when holding the phone vertically for websites using :
- iPhone 6 is 1334x750: CSS pixel width is likely 375px (pixel ratio = 2)
- iPhone 6 Plus is 1920x1080: CSS pixel width is likely either 432px (pixel ratio = 2.5) or 360px (pixel ratio = 3). It would make sense to implement a ratio of 2.5 as it would be 15.2% more CSS pixels for a screen 17.0% wider. But on the other hand (1) Apple designers are perfectionists and a fractional ratio means an image slightly less sharp, and (2) maybe with the Plus model Apple wants to attract smartphone buyers who dislike tiny text on a tiny display so it would make sense to provide fewer CSS pixels on a bigger screen... I am really curious to know which way they went.
This all needs to be confirmed with a device in hands...

#25Only one gig of RAM and base storage still at 16 gigs really annoys me. I may end up with a Moto X and wait for the 6s.
While I will buy a 6 for development purposes, I too was disappointed to find out that RAM is staying at 1GB. It's nearly 2015. More RAM does affect battery life, but still...they could have struck a balance here with 2GB.

Barometers are often used to improve motion tracking accuracy, not sure if this is a common use case for phones.
How is that helpful in motion tracking?
With sensor fusion you can improve the accuracy over just using GPS and accelerometers; it is quite common in quadcopters.

Honest question, what do you use the space for? I used to use mine for music, but now I use Pandora and Spotify.

How is that going to be useful?
I'm building a dense network of atmosphere sensors using smartphones in order to build a more accurate weather model [1]. Android's APIs allow us to access the raw data, but all of Apple's marketing talks just about "elevation". I'm hoping they give us access to the raw sensor, and not just elevation change. Humanity ought to have a much better weather forecast than we have now, as we're nearing 1B+ internet-connecte…
That's an awesome idea. Good luck to you!
Re: iPhone 6
#30The iPhone6+ looks just like one of those giant Android monsters from Nexus or Samsung. This makes me sad. I have small-person sized hands and often struggle even with the normal iPhone5 and the trend for making phones bigger and bigger makes me angry and sad at the same time. I hate it and always, always , when my friends would ask why I prefer Apple over cheaper and better speced devices, my answer was "Because App…
A .7" increase in size throws everything out the window? Just don't get the iPhone 6 Plus.
