Can't wait for the 6S in September. Heard rumours of a higher definition screen, better camera and 3D Projector.

We already know what it's going to look like (leaked images!).

Are your contacts on Yahoo, Hotmail or Google? All of my contacts are on Google - so logging in on any device puts them across.

If your contacts are not on one of the above, it's a 5 minute job to put them out there.

Photos - Flickr? Again, I'd use a cloud based solution.

I have a 16GB 4S which is getting very slow. 16GB is fine for me and I was thinking of getting a similar size 6. Someone has told me to avoid this as a third of the 16GB on a Iphone6 is taken up by IOS8. Is this correct, meaning a 32gb is the minimum to have.

Says here iOS8 needs around 5.7gb to install - http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/17/6342157/ios-8-fr... over the air install, less for tethered, but installer packages are usually smaller (zipped up) than the installed OS aren't they?

So far as I can determine on my iPhone 6, the OS only takes up around 2gb (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong smile ). Also, I don't think a 32gb version exists - it goes from 16 to 64.

if that's an issue then don't do it OTA and plug in instead...

You've just demonstrated why I ask about phones, because I know nothing concerning their specs.

bd thing seems to have lost most of the sleeve art for my music. When I bought it, it failed to copy the art across so I deleted all the music and uploaded it again. It looks like I will have to do that once more.

I'm sure the same could be said for all consumer electronics.

Considering Apple are pretty much the only company that talk about improving things in China etc, I'd be surprised if anyone else's production companies are any better. It's good for all this to be highlighted, but a bit unfair to target one company purely because they're the most well known company.

Correct. Apple are, in this instance, the low hanging and thus, easily targeted, fruit.
