Got mine this morning. Absolutely love it. My last iPhone was the 4 & I ended up missing the simplicity of it after having my S4 for a while. So, its not only the features that I'm enjoying, but the ease of using them.

Costco has the phones, and no lines out the door.

Unfortunately for my wife, Costco can't activate the phones with her AT&T grandfathered unlimited plan. Looks like she's going to have to order online from AT&T.

If a double tap on the home button on the 6+ brings the content down to the bottom half of the screen what brings up the multitasking screen?

you're not actually pressing down on the button for the double tap.

Double pushing the button is multi tasking.

Double TOUCHING is one handed.

Went to the Apple store to pick up my preordered 128gig Space Gray 6 Plus. Skipped the long line of people waiting. Surprisingly, even though it was after 6pm, they still had some 6's in stock and we ended up getting a 64gig Space Gray 6 for my wife. In and out in about 30 minutes total time. Went to Best Buy right after and bought a couple Zagg glass screen protectors and inexpensive cases for them, (want to wait to see what some of the better case manufacturers come out with in the coming weeks). In and out of BB in 15 minutes. Not too bad.

Went to dinner afterwards and haven't even had a chance to play around with the new phones. Currently restoring from backup....

Played with the 6 at my friends. Its nice...nothing about it felt "gotta have it!"

It was larger...but not much larger to me. I have to see and hold the plus...something tells me That enough of a difference that I would like it more. Never thought I would fucking say that.

Ok, I get it now. I don't have a touch ID device so I haven't been exposed to the tap vs. press before.

I'm sure the next iPad will have it, we'll see if I upgrade or not, pretty content with my iPA

Updated my iPhone 5S and iPad air to iOS8. Didn't play around with iPad yet but been using 5S on iOS8 for last day and half. Like most of the iOS8 update but sometimes the touch ID unlock is slow to respond. And frequently used apps like Facebook and what's app crash every 1 out of 10 times.
