September 9th apparently and there's already a few leaks about the 6S - usual upgrades of new CPU/GPU plus force-touch upgrade.

Went to get a 6 today instead, can't upgrade as my address is wrong so need to change that which then puts my account on lock for 10 days so I'll wait for the new one and get that instead!

Small ipad aren't selling well? Make a gigantic one and charge £600+ for them!

The new subscription format looks interesting. Around £20/25 a month 2 year contract but you get 2 new phones during that period. Matched to a Sim only plan is probably the best way to do it.... That's if they do it over here

Has to be better than the £789 they want for the top whack 128gb 6s+

I expect for the most expect phone it will be more than that.
Over 2 years the $32 contract will cost $768, this is not far off the cost of a single iPhone off contract so the fact you get the upgrade each year makes it very attractive.
I would expect for the 6s+ if it costs £789, they would probably want £900? so £37.50 or something. Yes its more but its only a small amount more for much more kit

3rd party digitizers are huge with creative people, the core demographic of the iPad Pro. It makes perfect sense for Apple to offer a product with universal support.
$99 is a perfectly fair price for this type of accessory.

$99 is nothing to a company who will be charging their designers out at $500 per day.
Its primary market is business. Wacom have styluses around this sort of price point.

Still chuffed with my 6, would be nice to upgrade every year but I am almost astonished I have had this a year already. With old Nokias etc I wanted a new phone every three months. Testament to how good they are IMO.
Kind of miss being in the "S" cycle though, never drop your phone in the bath kids!

I love my 6 plus. Best phone I've had.

Pretty accurate prediction with the year.
Though I'm fairly certain keyboard covers for iPad were a thing before Surface came along. Logitech have been making them for years.

The main difference is iOS doesn't have mouse support... meaning the keyboard doesn't have a touchpad. Bit shit really (in comparison)

Just upgraded over the phone from my 5S 16gb to a 6S Plus 64gb on EE.
Anyone with the current Plus - Did it take much getting used to? Is it really a two handed job most of the time?

I still find the Plus utterly ridiculous to use, but I've only used it here or there, and not for a long period of time. Maybe you do get used to it eventually still, not for me.

I've ordered mind this morning too. Went for a black 64gb 6s. Currently have a silver 5s 16gb. Which will be for sale, it's still under warrenty too (only had it since January) what's it worth?

When I first moved from a 5s to my 6 plus 128GB it took me 2 weeks to get used to the size. At first I thought I'd made a mistake and it was too big. Now I love it and wouldn't change it at all. The screen is much more useable for watching movies and using the internet.

Oh and it's probably a 2 handed phone unless texting in portrait.
