Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I cannot be the only person essentially creaming myself with excitement at the Watch launch tonight. Looks utterly mesmerising, and I think that Apple are back on their game with real software revolutions, rather than incremental hardware updates. I'll take a large Sports one please, with the mesh band. I'm undecided on which iPhone 6 I'll be getting next week, as although I'm against huge phablets I would like the huge battery increase and image stabilisation. Great news on a 128GB version too, that's been a while coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It's just a phone & a watch though. As you can tell I'm not bothered. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lol he was wearing it the full way through was he not? I've been chirping away on Facebook to myself about it. Currently in Stockton for work in a @*!# hotel bored! My video kept stalling though. Don't think apple were quite expecting the traffic. The watch looks absolutely amazing!

DoogyRev Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hand up who's Left Handed . . I guess Apple failed to think that one through, the "digital crown" will be on the wrong side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah, my stream kept going a bit wonky too. I didn't think he was wearing it all the way through though, but if he was I totally missed it! So many custom straps and the different types, it just looks amazing. Gonna be about £500 for the one I want, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hand up who's Left Handed . . I guess Apple failed to think that one through, the "digital crown" will be on the wrong side I'm right handed, but wear my watch on the same arm. Never bothered me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ350z Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Swear Sony already has this on there experia Z2 no? Don't see quite what all the rave is about. Just more to go wrong and get damaged at work imo. Each to their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hand up who's Left Handed . . I guess Apple failed to think that one through, the "digital crown" will be on the wrong side I thought that too, I'm right handed but spotted it. Hopefully that will be an upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Does any other major watch maker produce LH versions of their watches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350 Russ Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) its definatly going to be the 6 for me, the 6+ is just too big for me both have a great looking design though. i think they look fantastic. I have a day off on monday so i shall be placing an order then for a 64gb in space grey i think depending on price. Also i don't see the point of the watch, just a gimmick imo. Has anyone managed to download the u2 album? i can't seem to find it on the iTunes store. Edited September 9, 2014 by 350 Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm pretty sure if you swap it round about the screen will flip for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure350z Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The new phone looked more like a Samsung Galaxy phone to me. Similar screen size, rounded edges etc. Maybe it's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 I has made templates and prototype! Initial thought is that the Plus is too big, and there's a huge Tard Factor when holding it to your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not bothered about the watch TBH. I also think the phone is too big at 4.7", should have proper image stabilisation in both handsets and I think it's a mistake getting rid of the 32GB rather than 16GB. Still gonna preorder one on Friday, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) I'm in Tampa later this week, wonder if they'll have any 6s left, could be a good price. I'd like to see the plus in the flesh, but not really sure if I need an iPad replacement Edited September 10, 2014 by SuperStu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crb Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Apple doing what Apple do best..... Taking something that's pretty dull and making it possibly the most desirable thing on the planet..... As for the left handed thing surly you'd be able to rotate the screen so it works on the other hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Basically, after speaking to my contact in O2, the 6 Plus is physically the size of a Samsung Note, the 6 the size of a Galaxy S5. So that puts the 6 Plus out of the running for me. What I was suprised about is why they didn't drop the 16GB models in favour of 32GB models rather than the other way round. 16GB is too small for today's standards. Already have one set aside by my friend at O2, factory unlocked, so I don't have to rush and can just leisurely walk in and pick it up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 What does the watch actually do though? I find it slightly ironic that Apple are (re)introducing watches, when loads of people stopped wearing them because, in a nice simple bit of convergence, they could look at the time on their phones instead.

WhackyWill Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is the best bit of news from the Apple Launch... Meanwhile the Irish rock giants U2 took the opportunity of the Apple launch to present their new album ‘Songs of Innocence’ and offer it for free to the firm’s 500 million iTunes users. Although the music industry concedes that sales of albums are in decline,it’s still a rarity for an artist to actually give away an album for free-especially one of the magnitude of U2.

Suits Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Super impressive tech involved in that watch. They look very good too IMO and you know it will be made to an absolute premium quality standard. The hate towards anything Apple is such a boring noise nowadays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
