gerstlaueringvar Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 That announcement just now, wow! Can't wait to use Apple Pay and Apple Watch! What do you think of the new Apple products? Q-Bot can combine with Apple Watch perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan P. Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 IPHONE 6!!!!! Well im gonna have to wait probably until the 7 to upgrade. This year i got a Nokia Lumia 925 so i want to wait before i spend more money. Iwatch looks okay. I would never buy one but i guess for those watch people its a good idea. (I dont understand the need of a watch when there is a phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I dont understand the need of a watch when there is a phone Same here, but Apple Watch looks so good that I want to wear watch again. Wish that thing is water proof though. Apple is making people even harder to budget and harder to concentrate on meeting/classes. I wish iPhone 6 has edges like iPhone 5 and keep the lock/unlock button at the upper right because now it is getting kind of like Android phones.

scbt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^As a large android phone user, you'll be glad that the power button is on the side rather than top. It makes it so much easier to hit the button. Once a phone gets over 5in, it gets awkward to reach the top of the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^ That's one of the reasons why I don't like the size increase of iPhone 6. I think iPhone 5 has the perfect shape if it can be even thinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't like that Apple has jumped on the stupidly large phone bandwagon. I want a phone to fit in my pocket! I can almost understand getting the watch just because I won't be able to fit the phone in my pocket at least it could alert me when something is going on with my phone.

cfc Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yeah, I remember when everything had to be as small a possible (often to an annoying degree); but the pendulum has swung back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I don't like that Apple has jumped on the stupidly large phone bandwagon. I want a phone to fit in my pocket! I used to say that too, but I've learned to love the larger screen size of my HTC One. I would never go back to a smaller screen. Amazingly enough, it does fit in my jeans pocket. Of course, I'm not a hipster so I don't wear skin-tight pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollercoasterbuff Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I can understand liking the size of the iPhone 5 and previous versions, the fact is though, consumers want larger phones. Though it may not appeal to some to go bigger, the masses are looking for bigger, bigger, bigger. With the amount of activity people do on their phones, the larger screens do make it easier to navigate different pages and apps. More and more is getting done on mobile devices. Even stores are leaving desktops and laptops alone these days and using mobile POS machines. iPads, iPod touch, etc. The 6 will be still small enough to fit in your pocket, it's the 6 Plus that is going to be harder to fit in a pocket. I think the company made the right move to make two sizes, and both larger. Definitely glad to see NFC capability as well. It will be nice to start using that. Going out will be a lot easier once the payment system is implemented in more places. Grab your ID and your phone and that's all you need. Also will make traveling around theme parks easier, very happy to see they partnered with Disney and will implement the ApplePay system into WDW here soon. As far as the watch goes... I'll buy it. I had the galaxy gear and loved it. I think some of the functions of the watch are unnecessary but also a lot of fun. It has a great look to it, and with so many variations, individuals are bound to find a style that fits them well! The only part of this whole announcement I was disappointed with, was the lack of camera upgrade. I know it has more functions now, but to stay at only 8mp seems a little redundant to me. The picture quality is nice, yes, but if they took that quality, and bumped up the megapixels in the cameras, there would be no competition as far as picture quality goes. The phones clearly have enough space to handle it all! Can't believe the size options are 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB. That is awesome. Still shocked they got rid of the 32GB option. You'd think at this point they'd get away from a 16GB phone and start the introductory level at 32GB the way the phones are lined up now.

SharkTums Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 ^&^^ You're both men. I guarantee you the iPhone 6 will NOT fit in my women's clothes pockets! My 5 doesn't fit in half of my pockets already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 I always think electronics with bigger screens are much easier to break. iPad Air looks like you can crack the screen if you just apply a little pressure. I don't want to worry about that on my phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeFaller Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm really curious about how it feels to hold both phones in my hands. I hope the iPhone 6 is not too big, because the 5 was really perfect. My iPhone 5 broke so I need a new one, but I'm not sure if it is worth buying the new one. They don't offer an unlocked version of it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I will definitely be getting one of the models, it is my upgrade year and my 5 is starting to have some issues with the lightning jack. My only dilemma is figuring out which to order. Since I have man pockets, I'm considering getting the plus, but it may be too big for me too.

rollercoasterbuff Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If you go to any store that sells the Galaxy Note 3, that's the size of the 6 Plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My upgrade for my iPhone 5 is coming up next month. Very likely that I will get the 6 plus! Can't wait to have a bigger screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollercoasterbuff Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 If you are with AT&T you should be upgrade eligible now with AT&T next. Next is honestly a much much cheaper way to get your phone and it allows you to upgrade every year of every 18 months. If you can avoid signing a two year contract, I would highly recommend not doing that. Two year contracts are such scams. You end up paying out the @$$ for your phone and service.

If so, is this bending thing really true or is it being blown out of proportions by the media, like most things are? You mean the 6 Plus? The 6S Will be out next year. No it doesn't bend that easily it was pretty much just blowned out of proportion by the media according to Macroumors and actually the HTC One M8 bends easyer than the iPhone 6 and the 6 bends easyer than the 6 Plus.

It pretty much only bends when the teenage girls shove the phone without a case into their itty bitty little back pocket and sit on it all the time.

It pretty much only bends when the teenage girls shove the phone without a case into their itty bitty little back pocket and sit on it all the time. If I get one there is no way I wouldn't get a case. I was just wondering. That whole video of the guy holding the phone and bending it with his hands made me laugh. I mean, all it proves is that if you use your hands and try to bend it, it WILL bend. What a shocker! I'm sure you could do the same thing with any phone you choose.

X2coasterfreak Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It has been a few days now with my new iPhone 6 Plus and I absolutely love it. Getting used to the larger screen (coming from an iPhone 5) was a bit of an adjustment, but now there is no way I can go back to something smaller. The screen quality is gorgeous too, 5.5 inches in (finally) a 1080p resolution is a real treat on the eyes. The camera is brilliant too, pictures turn out looking quite impressive, and Optical Image Stabilization is a neat feature on the Plus. Battery life is another big one too, the usage on my phone can be pretty hefty, I don't think I have seen the percentage drop below 65% yet. The phone is lightning fast too, the A8 chip (although only being a dualcore processor) has some serious power, and cellular speeds are ridiculous with Verizon's XLTE. Overall I am very happy with this upgrade, I would definitely agree that this is the best iPhone yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I got the 6 plus on Monday. It seems almost too big but I'm getting used to it, I went back to my 5 since it was still on my table and it seemed minuscule by comparison. When used as a phone it seemed a bit muffled (and yes I took of the protective screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiCraft2011 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Well, OS X Yosemite is now out, and I just updated yesterday. What do you think? Discuss! Yosemite is a nice change to OS X. It has a very nice transparency effect, more simple icons, and a more modern and flat environment. Besides continuity and handoff, however, I don't see any huge changes to the operating system. Yosemite is a solid OS. Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
