So this is a thing that was just announced. Apple (AAPL) Introduces iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - ABC News Will be going to preorder the Plus this Friday.
Looks awesome, but seriously the only thing that's held me back from upgrading to a new iPhone is the lack of support for memory cards, making you pay in $100 increments instead. Could have at least made the entry one 32 GB.
I'm in for a 64 GB version of the 6. Not sure if I'm going to go with the regular 6 or the Plus. Extra large phones just look stupid and inconvenient, but that improved battery life seems pretty sweet since my current 5's battery is wildly inconsistent now. Are there any other improvements between the 6 and 6Plus besides resolution and battery life? lol at that watch though. Overpriced and the design of it looks bad by today's standards. Maybe if it came out with the iPhone 1 it would look alright, but man, that's just an ugly product.
I just printed out squares set at the specs for the 5, the 6, and the 6+. The size bump from the 5 to the 6+ is unreal. No way that thing fits in a pants pocket comfortably. As much as I'd enjoy having a 6+, I think seeing the size in-hand convinced me just to go with the 6. Gold, of course.
not a fan of giant ass phones, will stick with my 5S maybe get a 64gig 6 in a year, hell no to the 6plus or the watch.
Wow, as a fan of smart watches, I'm taken back by how crappy the Apple Watch seems to be. I was hoping it was going to be closer to the Moto360 with a bunch more features. Oh well...
At one point I would have been all over this phone, but now I'll stick with my Xperia Z2. That watch looks incredibly unimpressive.
My contract is up end of October so I''ll be upgrading from the 5 then. Does not look like anything special but I've never had an issues with iPhone's so I'm sticking to them. As for the watch it seems like a complete waist to money to me, though on the other hand I've never worn watches. Considering however that it's more a gadget to compliment the iPhone I still don't see the point.
When my contract is up in December I will get a 16gb 6. The watch is stupid and way overpriced and I'm sure it will flop. I still hate apples prices for things like bigger screens and additional memory. I think it is stupid that you will spend 100 dollars extra for a little bit bigger screen or a bit more memory.
Had my 4S going on three years...long overdue for an upgrade. The cinematic video stabilization in the 6 is the primary draw for me (otherwise, I'd just upgrade to the 5S). Kinda wish I weren't so entrenched in all things Apple (two iMacs, iPhone, iPad, iPod(s), Apple TV).
Eh, I'll just stick with my gold 5s as the 6/6 Plus doesn't really interest me all that much; Probably due to me following the hell out of it since it was announced, and most of the "new" features are things that I already have and can do on my secondary Android phablet right now.
Well, I've got the Vita which has a 5 inch display and a lot of bezel. Assuming that that is about the same width, and a bit smaller in height, it might be alright. Looking at the full specs, the 6+ has some image stabilization with the camera... I think it's clear that I'm going to need some hands on time with both models. Leaning a bit more towards the 6, but I still could see myself going for the 6+. And white/silver iPhone for life!!!
in comparison: Galaxy S5 = 5.1" . iPhone 6 = 4.7" . iPhone 6 Plus = 5.5" . pretty much S5 +/- 0.4" ... i wonder why no C series this time. i know a bunch that bought the 5C.
i should also mention that I use OtterBox cases which add considerable bulk to the device, so the 6+ would need a backpack
The 128 HD is what interests me, I always need more space. Plus the faster processing chips will lead to more retail game ports. They got the full bioshock on the 5 with a few minor graphic changes, with the new processors and metal...well I think we will be even more impressed by the games coming to mobile. With everyone now seeming to ignore vita, I look forward to the upcoming ports. Even Capcom has recently shown it can put out mobile games that have improved graphics and have good game play and controls with Monster Hunter unite. I'd love to see the full real RE4 or a full non gimped version of Devil May Cry on my phone.
Oh yeah. That will be way too much bulk with a case like that. I just go with basic plastic cases. Been rocking the Lannister sigil for my 5 for about a year now. I'm just going to go with something simple like that for the 6/6+. Thankfully these phones are already about as thin as they can be. I would so quintuple-dip on a proper RE4 port.
