That's the good thing about reviews, there are so many of them and always one that will suit somebody's POV lol.
Agree. Without actually using the new features, the criticisms he pointed out seem spot on. 3D Touch seems to be quite a useful addition to iOS but we won't see how useful in can become until third party apps start implementing it, something that, if extensibility is any indication, may take a while.
I still can't seem to decipher the Verge's scoring methodology. I know the overall score isn't an avg. of the individual segment scores but I still don't see how the Note 5 would be rated that much lower than the iPhone. And while I noticed that they added a new item to the 'Bad Stuff' list from when I first read it this morning--specifically regarding the 16GB storage in the entry level model, I think the same 'expensive' criticism levied against the latest Samsung devices should apply here as well. Overall thought, I though the content of the review seemed pretty accurate.

Wow....this lady got her iPhone 6s early by mistake. What was one of the first things she did? She ran benchmarks on the new phone and it is a monster!

Yeah, those benchmark numbers are nuts. I wonder if Apple is using the new flash drives that samsung started using in the s6, combine that with the a9 and how optimized iOS is and this phone should be insanely fast. Maybe this means multi window will be coming to the plus too? It can surely handle it.
I have no doubt the existing 6 & 6 Plus could handle multi-window as it is. However Apple has made the design choice that multiwindow is reserved for tablet devices from a usability standpoint rather than any true technical limitation.
Much same as multi-touch gestures etc ...
Hence don't expect to see it this generation of iOS anyway. Maybe iOS X
Yeah, that was quite nice of her to run geekbench as requested by someone.
Sounds like it's pretty powerful.
It's single core geek benxh score is more powerful than the macbook retina (not pro).
This is both impressive for the iPhone and sad for the macbook, being such an expensive device.

MKBHD has apparently had his for two weeks but was under NDA. Now that's been lifted he can post his unboxing and will post review soon. He can also share impressions on twitter now too.
My apple watch arrived today. .loving the look but need my 6S plus now to use it
I had both previous Samsung gear and gear sWere you a normal watch wearer before or is this your return to wrist wear?
I doubt I'll ever have a smart watch myself but for those that like them they are nice little gadgets.
Isn't the upcoming iPad Pro using an A9X? Should be real interesting to see where it clocks in. Considering it's probably not a very worthwhile experience to try to run more intensive applications on the rMB, thus somewhat negating the full OS advantage, between the two, the IPad Pro may actually appear to be the better value for some. Another sad testament to the rMB.
All that being said, there is certainly a market for the rMB as my wife has one and loves it...fits her needs perfectly (highly portable and mostly web based functionality). Put a bit more horsepower under the hood and it become a viable option for many more people.

I've enjoyed using smart wearables, to varying degrees, since I started with the original Pebble. I also really like my Apple Watch but didn't realize how much I use it until I didn't wear it for a few days. Now I feel sort of naked without it.
Yeah, that's what I'm waiting, a bit more power and one more USB-C port. 2017 might be the year I retire my 11" air (2011)
That does look niceI had both previous Samsung gear and gear s
Few questions. Does it have GPS? Does it have Wi-Fi? How's the battery life? Is 38mm vs 44mm a huge difference? Is responding to messages intuitive? How does it compare to Android Wear?
I was very enthused about the iPad Pro after the keynote. Was going to get one to replace my 13.3 rMBP. But after thinking it through more closely I may not get it. I would really like a couple more ports to maybe connect it to an external monitor or TV.
It doesn't have built in GPS and has wifi
Will answer. the rest when I set it up but can't until I get my 6S plus on Friday
Yeah, I was super impressed with the iPad pro, but I can't really see how it would work in my life, if I had money to burn I would buy it to have and play with, but at that price I need to find some use for it.
Will post my thoughts on the usage when my new phone arrivesThat does look nice
