Little surprised by the A8 only being 25% faster. On the one hand, Apple has been doubling performance each year so people probably expected them to double it again this year. On the other hand, even the A7 is still faster on 99% of Apps than anything else out there so Apple might have decided to wait for the A9 before making another huge jump in architecture/performance.
Or they could have spent their resources on the new S1 SoC for their Watch and scaled back.
Still wondering why the A8 has 2 billion transistors while the A7 only had 1 billion. What are they using the extras for?

or you can always spend $80-$100 for a mophie case in the mean time.
edit: oops, didn't realize there was another page. my bad.

Then I got an email a few days later that it was in. Took 15 - 20 min day of to do the swap.

It's more their pricing when it comes to memory space. Flash memory is dirt cheap now. Since Apple eschews microSD slots, why not set a trend by offering their base model with 32gb's instead of 16? $200 is a huge price jump for memory space. I know it's how they've always done it, especially with their iPads, but it's just infuriating.
On another note, the iP6 design reminds me of my old 3G  | |

128GB: $1,079 | if that is true, then its not surprising nor is it that expensive if you think about it.
iphones usually retail at the 800 dollar mark or 900 dollar mark? for every step up in memory, its an additional 100 bucks usually.
since they skip the 32gb step, 100$ more for the 64gb from the 16gb is decent.
on the older phones (iphone 4/4s, iphone 5/5s) i believe the 32gb model was available and it was 100$ more than the 16gb model.
all that said, i'm not saying the phones are cheap, they are still relatively expensive but the iphone6 16gb model is comparable in price to the s5 off contract.
