Very nice camera review indeed. Iphone 6 plus has a nice camera but the one one iphone 6 is close enough. I
In terms of iOS 8.1 I have activated the sms forwarding for fun to my ipad and it seems to work well. I suppose it could come in handy if a sms arrives I can answer directly from the ipad and don't have to move my lazy ass at all đ

You have too many gadgets Aussie !! and I am very envious.
I am really loving my iPhone, I really am but I have to get another WP before Xmas 1520 or 930, 830 I don't know which. I need to have a second handset, its been years since I only had one.
Anyway Forza football is keeping up to date with how many RM are scoring against Liverpool, with video highlights aswell.
Camera wise I'm really pleased with the pictures I have taken so far and the slow motion video option is awesome. Anyway I have to go and check it isn't bent yet

 I am sure it must be bent by now.... My brother bought an iPhone 6 plus as well and seems very happy so far. His only which was when I told him that it takes 3 hours to charge it with the normal charges so he went today to buy an iPad charger 
You might be lucky - maybe a successor of 1520 will be launched (I hope so). Thanks for reminding me about fora football I will download it now . I do have too many gadgets - I need to stop spending so much money on gadgets
Ps I am not happy when English teams are loosing in Europe but I am not terribly sad Liverpool is loosing today

Unfortunately its also showing that the Gooners are losing to Anderlecht now aswell.. hope your brothers 6 plus is all OK and continues that way. I'm sure there is an issue somewhere but it clearly isn't with all handsets

I agree that there are obviously people with bent iphones- I am just glad that the one I own and the ones my family and friends are owning don't have this problem |

Turned out good in the end Aussie, very fortunate though
Anyway back to the iPhone. Do you use One Drive on your iOS devices ? For the life of me I cannot get the auto backup of the camera roll to work as a background task. If I open the app then the backup starts, but if I then come out of the app it stops and will not restart until the app is opened again. I have built up a lot of free storage with One Drive and I really don't want to start using Drop Box. Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks Aussie
Don't bother installing it, it would appear that it is a known issue from support forums
Thanks again

Thats a very good question indeed. I guess its the same as asking ......why buy a 128gb iphone when there's 64gb or lower models available? Its a matter of choice I guess.
Anyway, more on this issue...

... still no 'official' reply from Apple at the moment.
They should come up with an answer soon.

I am no expert, but it is 1GB RAM bottleneck that is the problem here in my opinion.
I also have a few app crashes on my iPhone 5 every week. It is a little bit better now than it was on iOS7, it seems that iOS8 is better optimized, but still...
I was so disappointed when those 1GB RAM rumours were confirmed as true and it is the only thing that is keeping me from getting the iP6. I guess now is the time to buy the iPad Air 2 since they doubled the RAM on that thing and wait for next gen iPhones

The only iOS fault I chalk up to RAM is poor multitasking e.g. Safari forever reloading tabs. Apps crashing maybe due to poor optimization by the dev, I remember when FB for iOS used to crash almost everytime I used it, it was such a PITA to use FB I got to a point where I stopped using it out of frustration, then they did a major update and since then it has been much better

iPhone 6 owners demand answers on 'bendgate'
After 180 complaints about bent iPhones - including one where the device apparently "caught fire" - one website is demanding that Apple provide an explanation
By Matthew Sparkes, Deputy Head of Technology
1:44PM BST 24 Oct 2014
Apple today came under further pressure from users of the iPhone 6 to provide more details on whether the handsets bend too easily.
A website collating images of bent iPhones spotted on social media such as Twitter and Instagram claims to have 180 different examples, up significantly from Apple's earlier statement that it had seen just nine damaged handsets.
Early customer complaints that the latest iPhone bends easily when placed in pockets or bags prompted a rare statement from Apple, saying it shouldn't do so when used normally and that only nine complaints had been received.
Since then, however, reports of damaged phones have continued to grow online as millions more iPhones have been sold.
The new website, One of the Nine, has also written an open letter to Apple demanding further explanation.
"I assume these to only be a small fraction of one per cent of the problem as most people would not choose to go online to report the problem but simply return the unit to the store," says the letter.
"Some users reported being able to exchange their iPhone 6 and 6 Plus after returning it to an Apple Store. However an equal number were also turned down for a replacement and told they will have to pay for it.
"Can you please share the policy that is used in store to determine whether a warranty replacement is given?"

I wonder if Apple will even respond to this 'open letter'

It seems that the rumor I got regarding Apple "quietly" fixing the iphone might be true.
..................................
Has Apple quietly fixed its iPhone 6 Plus âBendgateâ problem? [updated]
By Chris Smith on Oct 31, 2014 at 10:10 AM
Ignoring the idiotic instances where people intentionally started bending iPhone 6 units in stores just to prove it can be done, Apple did have an iPhone 6 Bendgate problem, which genuinely affected some early buyers. Early reports have shown that the iPhone 6 Plus was more prone to bending than its smaller sibling, with some users explaining why the iPhone 6 Plus can bend in a certain way â apparently the area around the bottom volume button lacks the kind of reinforcement that can prevent bending. However, Apple might have fixed the issue, one Reddit user seems to indicate.
Redditor doctorkuddles says that he just purchased an 128GB iPhone 6 Plus that feels different than his wifeâs early 16GB iPhone 6 Plus model.
âI canât prove anything. I can only look at my iPhone 6 Plus I got yesterday, and the 6 Plus my wife got on September 20th,â he explains. âWe have identical phones minus the GB size (I have 128GB, she has the 16GB) Both are space gray. I started looking at both phones closely.
âFirst difference I noticed is the smoothness on the week one phone compared to the week 6 (?) phone. Completely softer and smoother. The second difference I noted was when I started tapping (âflickingâ) the back and sides of both phones. Right where the previous âbendsâ were in previous 6 Pluses (above and below the volume rocker), there is a night and day difference in sound,â he adds.
doctorkuddles further says he used a stethoscope to listen to the iPhone 6 Plus and found that his 128GB phone sounds âmuch more dull toned, indicating to me itâs more solidâ whereas âher phone had a lot more percussion sound, indicating that area was previously hollowâ
He then took it under a microscope, without dismantling it. He looked through the cracks of the volume buttons and spotted a âred colored object placed in the volume down button crank.â
Furthermore, he weighed and measured both devices and found out that while both devices are identical in size, the 128GB version is 21g heavier than the 16GB model.
âI just donât see the memory being that much heavier,â he said.
No actual images or videos of any of these findings have been published, so itâs not clear whether doctorkuddles has actually discovered anything.
Interestingly, he contacted the teardown experts at iFixit on the matter, who purchased a brand new 128GB iPhone 6 Plus and weighed it.
âIt weighs 173.5 grams, a whopping 0.8 grams more than the Day One unit,â iFixitâs mdjorie wrote on the same Reddit thread. âI donât know whatâs up with your new unit, OP, but our new unit definitely doesnât weigh 21 grams more than the Day One device.â
Itâs not clear whether Apple made any internal design changes to its iPhones since the Bendgate issue was first reported, or whether it would be able to roll out changes so fast in case it did. But a previous report did reveal that Apple takes product launch-related issues and flaws very seriously and looks to fix problems as fast as possible following their discovery.
âA footnote on Appleâs specs website for iPhone 6 Plus notes that âSize and weight vary by configuration and manufacturing process,â and sources tell us a 1.5 gram weight variance between any two iPhone 6 Plus units is within what is expected,â Kahn explains.

.... question now is, if you were an iphone 6 or 6 plus owner, will you exchange your phone with a new one?
cheers!
