However, after spending a week with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, it seems those who ordered early made the right decision.
The biggest (in every sense) part of the iPhone 6 launches were the bigger screen sizes - 4.7inch on the 6 and a whopping 5.5inch on the Plus.
Even though, as many detractors have pointed out, Apple is playing catchup with the Android market in terms of screen size, it's a move that could see more than a few defectors due to the exceptional build and screen quality of the iPhone - something no Android manufacturer has come close to matching.
Both handsets feel like they've been designed as big screen devices through and through, from the curved edges to make them easier to hold to tweaks to the software to allow one handed operation.
However, for the Apple user used to an iPhone 5, there’s no denying that Apple’s new iPhone 6 Plus is big - really big.
When you see it lying on a table, it dwarfs even its smaller 4.7inch brother, and really does look huge.
In fact, the first time you pick it up, it’s slightly off-putting - but the rounded edges really do make a difference.
It’s surprisingly light as well, and just about possible to hold comfortably in one hand.
Once you’ve got over the initial shock, and learn how to use the one handed mode (tap twice on the home button, and everything moves to the bottom of the screen so you can get to it easily), then one thing stands out - the screen.
The quality is superb, with bright, sharp colours, that make even the current screen on the iPhone look lackluster.
