Only 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.
ALL 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 (pi…

It is more than a little absurd in 2014. Many other manufacturers have at least moved up to 32 GB base. Don't get me started on the utility of a micro-SD card slot.
I have absolutely no need or desire for more than 16gb and certainly no need for a micro-SD card slot on my iPhone 5s. I barely use 8GB. I would imagine many people are the same way.
Most people are out of space. The number of people I heard complaining when iOS 7 was released and they didn't have enough space to install it shocked me. I also know a tonne of people (especially younger people) who can't backup to iCloud because they have filled their device with photos and they would have to pay for more backup space. When most new games are over 500mb and even things like Facebook require nearly 200mb of space it's very easy to run out of 16GB.

Honest question, what do you use the space for? I used to use mine for music, but now I use Pandora and Spotify.
Personally, I want a MicroSD slot because that way we both win.

It is pretty silly but also annoying as the iPhone has a strong following due to its "it just works" design. Girls in particular love it for the camera but 16gb just isn't enough space to get my SO and her friends past a few months of photo-frenzy.
I would have thought that Apple understood they have customers that actually prefer the 4" size, or else they wouldn't have had any sales the last years. Let's hope for a iPhone 6S mini next year.
The iPhone 6 Plus is just too big - as big as my hand. I bet, you can't sit down with this monster in your pocket. Stop making it wider and higher!

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…
