As posted earlier, I went to Apple Store SOHO to fondle and test the iPhone 6 Plus.
With the store’s WiFi being at its saturation point, I was lucky to get in just three basic tests.
1) The People of the Abyss
2) The American Magazine special condensed version for iOS
3) Surface Japan
See my permanent page, Google Books PDF Test for details.

I got to the Apple Store SOHO about 2PM.
There were still lines.
And I do mean lines, plural.

This isn’t really a review. It’s an account of what it’s like to use in general. Even so, there’s a Gotcha at the end that should give people pause before buying it:
The course made me feel uncomfortable in addition to built-in UI relatively ugly outside (UI course they have time to DIY), there are users currently own is inconvenient to modify the internal storage space (equivalent to computer C drive), and only 1G internal storage, I installed those software screenshots front, it prompted me to lack of storage space, the above two shots that I put some applications can be moved to SD card after moving out of the 191MB empty space, this space Some software can not be installed, and hope that subsequent firmware manufacturers can modify the size of the internal storage space for 2G (for manufacturers, this is quite simple, platinum other models before goods have modified the capacity of 2G firmware)
Boldfaced emphasis added by me.
Internal storage is just 1GB! Which he finds strange, as the larger P1 has 2GBs. He thinks this can be fixed with a firmware update.
My advice is to wait until that firmware update has been issued. And to further wait for actual owner reports. Maybe iambillbil will get his hands on this one. His report would say everything.

He hasn’t finished his evaluation posts, but he’s done an all-text summary of what he’s found [Google Translate]. I think he got so excited he wanted to share his findings as soon as possible. [Next-day update: The post has since changed to one that includes photos and a detailed evaluation.]
He has gone absolutely nuts over the tablet, yelling in several places, “Shocked! Buy buy buy!”
Yes, in red!
