“The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus don’t officially launch until Friday, but it seems that some users have managed to get their hands on the two devices early,” Cody Lee reports for iDownloadBlog.
“YouTube channel UNDERkg, which appears to be based in South Korea, has posted hands-on videos for both a Space Gray iPhone 6 Plus and a Gold iPhone 6,” Lee reports. “Apple unveiled the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus at a high profile media event last week, calling them the biggest leaps in the smartphone line since it debuted in 2007.”
Lee reports, “The two handsets will go on sale in several countries around the world this Friday at 8am local time.”

Springboard seemed a bit sluggish to rotate in the demo.
Keep in mind this is looking down. So it doesn’t register being turned sideways as easily. Try rotating your phone with it flat and you will see the same issues.
Great videos. Cannot wait for delivery. Already ordered clear covers from Amazon.
It would seem, these could have been smuggled out of China, and therefor stolen. Technically there is no official way the phones can be purchased and delivered in the time it took to produce and release those videos.
I also suspect that they could have been smuggled out in parts and the assembled once received.
Reviewers get their hands on this stuff early all the time.
Look up a few MDN posts, Macworld had both for the past few days. Pretty sure apple hands them out so the reviews can hit right about now…
So if double tapping brings the screen down, how do you get to the open apps now for multitasking?
Double click the home button. Clicks are firmer than taps, and the button on the 6/6+ can tell the difference.
Ah. I missed that it’s a tap and not a push!
It’s a double touch, not double press. Double pressing the home button will still bring up multitasking. That’s my understanding.
To multitask you click the home button twice in rapid succession. Tapping is lighter than clicking, and these new home buttons can tell the difference between these two kinds of touch.
The guy posts reviews for a living? “…Pretty nice on the hand but on the design perspective, there will be a lot of controversies…” Say that again? Idiot.
When I saw the phones in that first video, I thought maybe he had an iPhone 6 Plus. I started to regret ordering an iPhone 6 as it didn’t really seem that bad in size. But it’s in fact the regular 6, and it further reinforces that I made the right choice. It’s a big phone, a major step up from the 5s but not unwieldy. It’s perfect. And the 6 Plus must be gargantuan lol.
I could care less about the HTC in the 2nd video..
