No, I'm not trying to look at your order history.

Hotdogs, extra onions
Despite two major embarrassments for Apple this week (messed up live stream and non availability of Apple Store at various times during this mornings I6 launch). Apple are reporting record demand for their handsets with many regions now having to wait between 3/4 weeks for the I6 plus model (production difficulties, limiting supplies) and 7/10 days for the standard I6 model.
The live stream I agree with, total farce. The online ordering though I had no problems with! Went on at about 08.39, ordered the wrong one, went on again an hour later and ordered the correct one.happy days.

Some people were lucky, but there were major issues that all the technical websites picked up on. Parts of the US didn't come up until 2 hours after the store was meant to open.

I've decided to NOT go and pick up the iPhone 6 Plus I have on reservation at Brighton, although it seems there's an easy £200+ to be made by picking it up and chucking it straight on eBay as the Apple Store is now quoting a 3-4 week lead time.
However, I am disappointed to read that the iPhone 6 battery life is no different to iPhone 5/5S in early reviews. The extra battery and optical stabilisation in the 6 Plus would be very welcome but I just don't think I want a phone that big to use all the time.

That's not me!
Mine apparently is out for delivery according to syncreon but with which company I have no idea !
Thought it would be out with UPS but syncreon says it is in Burgess Hill and now out for delivery, glad I went for the 6+ now, after what Bozza has just said.

"The Bad / In early tests, the iPhone 6's battery doesn't fare any better than last year's model. Some Android phones fit an even-larger 5-inch screen into the same size frame. It lacks the optical image stabilization of the bigger, more expensive 6 Plus."
http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/apple-iphone-6/2/
"Battery life In the quest to create a super-thin iPhone, maybe Apple should have thought about a thicker iPhone with better battery life instead. Apple's claims are about an hour more Wi-Fi and LTE Web browsing, an hour more video playback, 4 hours more talk time, and 10 hours more audio playback than the iPhone 5S.
Our CNET video-loop battery test, which tests playback of a CNET video with Airplane mode on and screen set to half brightness, lasted 10 hours and 38 minutes, versus 11 hours on the iPhone 5S (running iOS 7). We'll be running that test a few more times, so stay tuned for a final battery score. My casual use, doing downloads, heavy Web browsing, endless social-media checks, photos, video streaming, and all the stuff I normally do on my iPhone, showed the same type of battery drain I've gotten used to on the iPhone 5S. It's enough to hang in for a chunk of the day, but it's not the all-day-plus battery life I wanted on a new iPhone."

Who do we BELIEVE!!!
I guess it's too early to draw any real conclusions, but I'm not feeling optimistic.
I must admit - I just don't get the ongoing drive to have the thinnest phone, so much so that on the 6 the camera lens protrudes.
I would happily choose a phone that is 2mm thicker if that translated into increased battery life, and 2mm would make a massive difference.
