Nice.

I am at a loss whether now to get a 6 Plus. Partly bend gate, a poster on my local geek forum has one that now has a very slight bend, and 3 scratches that he doesn't feel he caused. Ive read that a 4.7 doesn't appear to offer much extra visual benefit from a 5S, although the screen real estate I expect would be significantly higher. Here in NZ the stocks of the Plus are VERY VERY low, so it will take a while I imagine to see one.

I'll read and watch with interest in the meantime
