I am surprised no one that got their hands on one after the keynote has not elaborated. Unless they are under NDA of course.

Not sure how they'd get that info though without cracking it open...can't get it anywhere on iOS.

Interesting after watching the keynote. Did they actually say the IP6s would have 2GB of ram or is everyone assuming it does? I can't find the specs for battery or ram from the apple website.
Send to be lots of speculation about both being 1gb, both being 2gb or the 6s being 1gb and the 6s+ being 2gb.

I'll wait for the teardown!

I'm debating on using Apple's new finance option or AT&T Next. Apple's plan is cheaper and includes AppleCare +.

May end up gifting my 6+ to my daughter. She's in high school now, but I'm not sure she won't lose it.

Geekbench should show the RAM but I guess the hands-on was a closed shop. Part of the speculation and confusion appears to be from geekbench screenshots: people are guessing model numbers and if they are legit screens or not.

After thinking about, it's kinda weird that Apple didn't take advantage of the magnetic port on the iPad pro to charge and store the Apple pen, I guess I would be scared of breaking the male lightning connector when it's charging the pen.

The iPad pro looks amazing! I just can't justify the price. I would never use it like they demonstrated in the keynote. I would never use the pro tools.

I think most people will be in a similar boat to yourself.

I'll be getting one as soon as I can without doubt and the Apple pencil. Not interested in the keyboard. Will post unboxing and review once it lands :) Not interested in it at all as a media consumption device or for gaming. Tbh I use my phablets for that in bed and on the go anyway.

I have both the Galaxy Note 4 and iPhone 6 plus. I'm skipping both the Note 5 and 6S plus. I love my note 4 and use it way more than my 6 plus. But I'm more disappointed with the Note 5 because I feel they took a huge step backwards. With the 6S it was as expected and if I HAD to pick one to upgrade I would upgrade to the 6S plus. Either way I'm going to wait for 2016 to see what Samsung and Apple will release. I think I'm going to get the Sony Z5 premium. I need a new toy but something diff from Apple and Samsung. Been stuck with these 2 for years!

Decided:

Buy: 6s Plus (64gb); Note 5 (64gb)

Sell: OnePlus 2; R5s

Keep: Moto E (super-cheap backup)

Waiting to see some Z5P reviews on battery and camera.

Have already set aside funds for Gear S2 cellular version. Now just a waiting game.

What color Gear S2 watch and band is everyone getting? Thinking conservative so silver watch with black band unless they come out with leather options for non-classic.

I was seriously considering an iPad Pro but the fact that it doesn't have 3D Touch likely has changed my mind. I still want one but as Apple will probably add it to the next iteration, I'll hold off until then.

Bought two iPhone 6S, one 6S+ w/ 128gb for me and a 64gb 6S to resell.
Up in the air about keeping my Note 5. I like the features Samsung offers, but there are some little glitches here and there that annoy me and the price wasn't really worth it. But getting a GS6 Edge again doesn't seem that cheaper. I am getting rid of my M9 for sure. My 6+ is going on sale too. The Nexus 6 I got recently on sale is going to a family member.

Considering a Nexus 5X, Moto X, or GS6 Edge if I get rid of my Note 5. I like the form factor of the S6 Edge good and the curved display looks aesthetically pleasing, but it's $600 brand new from my carrier. $550 on eBay. That's a lot for a 5-6 month old phone. I am truly up in the air on my android. I am on a budget overall now after the iPhone purchase, but I would like to keep a Galaxy to swap out from time to time.

Just curious as why you would choose to give up your Note 5 for an S6 edge.

Form factor, S6 Edge just has a better profile, plus the dual edges are nice. The S6 Edge also has the IR Blaster too. The S6 Edge has less RAM, so the phone will lag a little more than my Note 5 though. I am going to use my iPhone 6S+ as my dd though.
