I always like something new, but I think it the 5 and 6 came out at the same time, and the iPhone 5 was as thin, I'd like the style of the 5 better.
Got a tip for us?

In my opinion it looks nicer all the way around. The back of the 6 looks weird to me with those antenna things at the top and bottom. Plus, biggest irritation for me, the little blip for the lens... that's just plain dumb, and surprising given it's an Apple design. It looks like an afterthought.
Rounded edges, cool. Ugly antennas and lens? Nope. Having a smoother slo-mo and Pay ain't that important to me.
Picked up a first generation Moto G today. In specific the Verizon prepaid model. Fry's.com had it on sale for $68 and my local Best Buy instantly price matched. Couldn't pass up the deal. I don't particularly care for the redesign and larger screen of the second generation so I'm happy with the first generation. 
Absolutely love it so far and will be using it as a WiFi device around the house.

Bose SoundLink Mini. I returned my Bose ST20 as it kept dropping out of wifi signal. The Mini is Bluetooth only but its sound is brilliant, almost the same as the ST20, and is £200 cheaper.

I had the G for about a month, great device and can't beat the price, I'm just really not big on Android.
Have you held one in person? Because it sounds like you haven't, but I may be wrong. The iPhone 6 is the most brilliantly made iPhone Apple has ever made IMO.
I beta test products or a couple accessories makers and they sent me an iPhone 6 case... that's all I know of the size - but it's too big for me, especially considering I wouldn't keep a $700 phone out of a case; I buy them unlocked.
I have no doubt it's fantastic, I just don't care for the large screens. I also prefer laptops with small screen and an external monitor. A phone is mobile. Having a cellphone the size of a small tablet kind of negates the purpose to me.
Your MBP is going to be screaming with speed once you get it upgraded. I have a 2012 cMBP and I put a Samsung 840 EVO into it, and it had 16GB of RAM as well. It's super fast and I like that way.
The A Team box set from the 1980's, Zavvi are selling it for £23 which is a steal considering its around £45 everywhere else...
I was very pleasantly surprised at how "upscale" this device felt compared to the Lumia 520 I also have. I can understand not liking Android, it's different. I personally prefer Android but that's a different story.
My hard drive in my MacBook has been filling up with RAW files, and I have spare laptop hard drives laying around, so I ordered an enclosure for one of them to use as an external.
Couldn't agree more, yes the size is a factor, but I think the 6 is the most comfortable iphone to hold since the 3G/3GS. Those rounded edges, and the crazy thin design make it sit in the hand perfectly
You're not wrong! Just finished the upgrade and it's as if I've bought an entirely new computer.
