Hi Daniel and Ronni, I’ve decided on the 6 plus because of the camera/video options with stabilisation. Also nice to have the bigger viewfinder.
OOPS! its supposed to be a phone and won’t fit into my pocket. Which means I will need an Apple Watch so I can leave the iPhone in my handbag. At least they are not being released at the same time and I will have time to save for for the watch. I pre-ordered online as quickly as possible on the 12th, but it was good to actually have a look at both of the the iphones at Allphones at Belmont Forum yesterday. They had the 4.7 iPhones for sale on plans with Vodafone. Lots of great options and incredibly good value. Much more so than Telstra. Pity about the coverage. We are also out of our contract and running on Telstra month by month, but I prefer to buy the phone outright than sign up for a 24 month contract. And have to stay with Telstra because we travel away from the city so much and need the coverage. cheers, Susan.
