iphone 6 coming soon

Rumor is U2 is going to be a big part of the presentation today...

So they're planning to lull the crowd to sleep...intriguing marketing strategy. I guess Sting was booked.

I disagree. U2 featured prominently in one of the better iPod commercials. As long as Bono isn't pontificating on social/political issues, they're a pretty good rock band.

Yeah, but you're the guy who's only steamed Sharknado in the last month so...your recommendations; I dunno.

No friggin 32GB...and 16 for $299? Oooooo.....

Edit: wait, I was looking at the plus prices. Although I was really hoping they would start at 32GB.

Watched a number of videos on the presentation.

iPay looks like something I'd possibly use, to my surprise. I haven't seen much appeal in the Passbook app that was released a year or two ago.

The watch, I don't want. But I had no interest in a smartphone 4 years ago. I'm Gen X. I used to wear a watch when I was young. I don't want to wear one again. The early adopters are going to have to show me why it's useful.

Who's gonna be the one to stand in line the first day it's sold and smash it on the ground in front of reporters?

If they had done some of the neat things with the 6 that they did with the 6 Plus, it would be an easy lock for me. Now...I am struggling trying to decide between them. I worry that the 6+ is going to be monstrous and not possible to operate one handed. (despite the double touch mechanism)

The health link app and iPay look great.

That's a good point I didn't even think of. If my iPhone was any wider I think I'd need 2 thumbs to type or really need to stretch it out, and I have pretty big hands as it is.

not as much as i thought they'd be. considering a 5s 16G was $149 last week.

iPhone 5c 8GB $0, iPhone 5s starts at $99,

who?

 

[gmcunni]

it is the little things that really bother me

6 plus definitely too big. Especially if you want to use it for tracking running, biking, skiing, etc ... I'm sure the 6 is going to feel huge to me from my current 4s.

who?

Just prices they threw up at the announcement. I'm sure individual companies will have their own offers. Just read Verizon will give you the 16g 6 free for 2 years if you trade in your old phone. Sprint is going to do a $20 a month rental thing with $50 unlimited data.

I guess they have something called reachability that is supposed to address this, I think it lets you pull the screen down.

Personally I like the size of my iPhone 5 and really don't need a bigger phone.

Like I stated before, all I want is a better battery. Apple says the iPhone 6 has a better battery, but it also has a faster processor and bigger screen so I bet that will be a wash.

Faster processor doesn't necessarily mean bad battery life if it's more efficient...

Keyword being "if"

Not sure how much more efficient it is, and the bigger screen will def use more battery

Also depends on how and where the video processor is setup...
AND the technology used for the actual screen...
