Has anyone else had problems connecting their 6 to an in car Bluetooth phone. My 5 connected fine, my 6 says it's connected but doesn't work.
No, no issues here, two different vehicles and both connected ok once I went through the different pairing routines for both car and truck.V.

bout time, it must have learnt about my post as its the first time in a few months that its actually had a signal and not taken 30 seconds to load a simple page.
When they made the (now obsolete) iPhone4 they didn't bother to get anyone left handed to check it, so if you are left handed and sweat abit, like me, it touches the aerials and you loose almost all the signal, really stupid design.
Well, just don't hold it that way? When they made the (now obsolete) iPhone4 they didn't bother to get anyone left handed to check it, so if you are left handed and sweat abit, like me, it touches the aerials and you loose almost all the signal, really stupid design.
I never had the "death grip" on my 4S. I thought they fixed it in the 4S. Reception quite poor all round though, holding it or not.
Here are my experiences after 1 day of iPhone 6 ownership.
It's really big. I'm still getting used to the size after coming from an iPhone 4. The 4 was so much easier to shuffle around in one hand. Even though the 6 is slimmer, it bulges out a bit when in a front pocket due to being wider. For some reason MrsTwo’s Plus seems less frustrating in this respect, because it’s so large you never have any misconceptions about being able to use it one handed and treat it more like a tablet.
I've put an Apple silicone case on it and it's really nice. Without the case it was very slippery and I was really worried about dropping or scratching it. The Apple case is expensive but feels very good quality.
The screen is bigger, which is nice, but it's the same ppi as the 4 so doesn't really have the wow factor that you got when they first released the retina displays.
The speaker is better and louder which can be useful in noisy environments.
Everything is much faster, even things I didn't expect to be like WiFi and app installations.
I had a panic moment when I though there was a problem with the display. A yellow tint kept appearing at the top of the screen in Safari and I could not work out what was going on. Eventually I realised I was being thick and the address bar is translucent and had some animated advertisement running under it!
Initially the battery life seemed about the same. That said, I was using it quite a bit more than my old phone due to it being new. This morning I watched 25 mins of video on it and it was only down to 94% which is certainly better than the old one.
I’m happy with the phone but I can see how some are disappointed. It doesn’t feel like a leap on from the old versions and the improvements are subtle. I think it’s the kind of thing you have to live with for a while to really appreciate the differences. Once Apple Pay comes online and Yosemite (Handoff/Continuity) is released it should start to make more sense.

It's funny.
Samsung brings out the Note, hordes of iPhone users: THAT's TOO BIG for a phone.
3 years on, Apple brings their answer: LET'S ORDER IT!

Quick question on the official case. I use Shure earphones which have a fairly large audio jack block thing on the end. How close does the case go to the jack hole? I'm yet to find a case that I can use with my earphones.
I've got some SE215s and they have the sort of 45degree jack plug. They fit fine with my 6 and the Apple leather case. Fwiw, I bought the brown leather case and it's pretty nice. Will definitely age well. I wanted the blue one though, that really does look very nice.
