The day is still young, but Apple on Friday confirmed that its new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are already breaking records. In a statement to Re/Code, the company confirmed that its new iPhones beat the company’s previous overnight preorder record. “Response to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has been incredible with a record number of preorders overnight,” the company said in a remarkably brief statement. What kind of sales numbers can we expect? Unfortunately, we’ll all have to wait until Monday, September 22nd to find out.

With all the doom and gloom surrounding the Wii U, it’s easy to forget that Nintendo still (occasionally) puts out some of the best games on the market. Super Mario 3D World was certainly a contender for game of the year last year, and now Nintendo is prepping what looks to be a solid, if scant, holiday lineup for 2014.

Apple has been known for decades as a company that values design and form as much or perhaps even more, at times, than function. Apple’s products have almost always deviated from the pack, featuring class-leading fit and finish as well as a look that is unmatched. With the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, however, Apple made some curious design choices that can be a bit polarizing. For example, thousands of people agree that the phones would look far better with iPhone 5s-like glass panels rather than plastic inserts on the back for the antennas. Of course, if Apple could have found an economically viable way to use glass, it likely would have.

Moving past the ugly plastic lines on the back, however, there is another design issue on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus that one critic views as an “appalling compromise.”

If you have a day job, the odds are pretty good that you don’t watch Live with Kelly and Michael on ABC every morning at 9:00 a.m. Normally, that might be a good thing. On Wednesday morning, however, Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan actually got pretty hilarious while discussing Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Look, the iPhone 6 Plus has a lot going for it. Its battery is like, so much better than the iPhone 5s. The camera is even better than the iPhone 6! And the screen! Holy screen! But there is one big problem here… most of you just picked it because it was the “better” and more expensive option. You’re all probably like, “Yeah this is great, larger phone, I can do more. Bigger is better. AMERICA! Cheese fries with extra grease!”

This morning I woke up at about the same time I always do. I stumbled out of bed and down the hall to my home office, where I sat down at my desk and clicked on my desk lamp. After waking my computer, I winced a bit as I typed A P P L E . C O M into my web browser. The website loaded instantly, and about three minutes later I had preordered two new iPhone 6 handsets, a space gray one for myself and a second silver model for my wife. Both handsets will be delivered on launch day, September 19th. I put my computer back to sleep, switched off my desk lamp and stumbled downstairs.

Most people, of course, did not enjoy a similarly smooth preorder experience.

Compared to flagship phones from other leading smartphone makers, the resolution of Apple’s brand new iPhone 6 is laughable. 1,334 x 750 pixels? A pixel density of just 326 pixels per inch? Lined up with the full HD display and 432 ppi pixel density on Samsung’s Galaxy S5 or the 538 pixels per inch touted by LG’s G3, the iPhone 6’s resolution is pathetic. Of course, anyone who has actually used an iPhone 5s in the past can tell you that 326 ppi displays serve up wonderfully crisp images, but pixel hounds looking for more from Apple finally have something to get excited about — Apple’s highest-resolution device ever will reportedly debut before the end of 2014.
