1. Rounded glass is nice, although mine does seem to be lifting near the power button.

2. This was a silly decision IMHO. I'd have rather had a thicker device, however my leather Apple case makes this a non-problem.

3. If they'd left it at the top, people would complain that they can't naturally reach it. It's really easy to get used to and makes a lot of sense being on the side due to the size of the screen.

Thanks jbrooksuk. And do you think it's too big? Did you prefer the size of 5S?

Before the 6, I had a 5 and I must admit I wasn't fond of the size difference at first. However, after using it for a couple of hours it was brilliant. Just the right size for a "bigger screen" in my opinion.

A friend went for the 6+ and after using it for half an hour I hated it. But again, that's preference.
