I am confused why Standby time for iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S are exactly the same(250 hours) when other comparisons like Talk time are significantly different(14 hours vs 10 hours)?
I wonder if jeans manufacturers will release pants with extra deep pockets and market them as iPhone 6 Plus compatible?
I'd like to see Galaxy Note compatible jeans.

I build an avalanche safety app http://www.ullrlabs.com and knowing your elevation is one key aspect of determining the avalanche risk (due to differences in altitude for wind effect, temp, and snow accumulation).
Wouldn't GPS be far more accurate for this purpose?

If you have to say that it's not a troll, it's probably a troll.
After a quick google Lumia actually has very similar specs to iPhone6. And it will probably be half the price.

A .7" increase in size throws everything out the window? Just don't get the iPhone 6 Plus.
It does and I won't get a new iphone before 7 or 6s comes out anyway because I don't need a new phone right now. But I feel betrayed. They were the only phones out there that understood a phone isn't magically better just because it's got higher numbers. Now it seems they aren't anymore. At this rate next time I buy a phone I'm gonna have to get one of those stupid watches and forego a phone completely.

A friend of mine has the Note, I think; he loves it. It fits his hand perfectly. For reference, I literally cannot use his phone one-handed; I can't hold it and reach all the way across the screen with my thumb. I'm a small dude and he's a big one, and some devices are just designed for the opposite extreme.
I can't reach the top of the iPhone 5s screen one handed. I've given up on one-handed use. I have a friend with the note who actually uses a stylus with it. I don't get it but he really loves that phone.
Does anyone know how the new devices will handle old apps that were building specifically to the 320pt width? When we got the 4" screen, the old apps were put into black boxes until you updated the info.plist. Any news on if this will be a thing again? Thanks.
From the keynote, when they demoed the un-updated CNN app, it looks like they're just scaling the app (no black bars) and depending on the resolution of the screen to avoid the blur being obvious.
I'm hoping that it keeps the aspect ratio, even if that means black bars for now, because otherwise there will be undefined side-effects in many apps.
Gruber is going to have to set aside about a month's worth of updates to get through all the claim chowder from the people who gave the Galaxy Note shit for being 'hilariously' or 'ridiculously' or 'stupidly' large.

I'm sure this will be downvoted into oblivion but I have Karma to burn preaching some truth. Between big phones (even the small iphone 6 is bigger!), the watch and NFC, Apple is clearly repositioning themselves as fast followers and letting Samsung et. al. foot the bill on R&D and market building. They're probably hoping they can provide higher quality (and more profitable) offerings in markets that somebody else has…
I think they've been a little bit slow to follow shifts in the smartphone market though. They should've had a larger iPhone quite some time ago, and they were unfashionably late on notifications and 4G.
Still, this latest release will sell briskly per usual. Jury's out on the Apple Watch. Especially since battery life was conspicuously absent from the unveil.
Nexus 5 is all the phone one needs, at half the price.
