Bigger screen hype
Going 6+, but going to test it out first

The video game graphics are crazy, though.
How often do you just stare at the back of your phone?

Gotta save something for the 6S.
Im too used to having a giant aftermarket battery for my Galaxy S3 so I'll be just getting the Galaxy S5 I think and getting a 7500mah battery for it.
I was considering going back to Apple until the announcements. I should consider the Note 4 but honestly the price isn't justifiable.

Yea I was hoping for a 32gb version. 16 is too small for me, and 64 is overkill, but I guess I'll have to settle for the 64gb version.

Based on this photo I may be getting 4.7", holy hell.

damn...sorry man
Probably to force people to pay for the $299 model lol 16gb is too low for most, so they are going to be tempted to just go up to the 64gb at the price.
You enter your number on the apple site and they will pull up your account and let you select the upgrade if you have one. I forget if they charged me at that time.

Yup lol. Classic.
This right here.
Why does it suck?

Question: do they usually have the models on display at Apple Stores immediately after the conference thing?
Ah okay, that actually sounds pretty easy (I know the site will probably crash though and it will be hell). I wonder if carriers (like Sprint/Verizon) or other retailers like Best Buy will do pre-orders too, or if the Apple.com pre-order is the only one. Either way I'll make sure to get my account stuff sorted before the pre-order. I know I'm up for an upgrade, but I want to make sure there is no funny business.

While I'm up for an upgrade (AT&T), I'd like to get my wife on a plan with myself. Would we both be eligible for subsidized phones in that case? I think it's safe to say my unlimited data plan is a goner.
There is no 32GB.

Belt clip?
but it runs Android
Is this a meme or something? Saw it in that iWatch thread also.
Carriers have done it in the past too. From my previous experiences Apple has been able to handle the traffic, no crashes or anything.

I hope iPhone users now see the light and embrace large screens. It changes things. Video, news, games. It just makes things better.
So looking at the comparison, its almost the same exact phone as the 5s but just bigger? Nothing really stands out that would make me buy this over the 5s. Maybe the NFC.
You aren't changing your plan just because you're adding your wife.
You can keep yours and add your wife, who will be on a tiered plan.
If she signs on for a two-year contract, she can get a subsidized phone. With your upgrade, you can still get a subsidized phone. Just make sure you make it clear in the store that you DO NOT want to change your personal plan. You are just adding your wife to the account.

can we just get google glass and vr peripherals up to future-tech awesomeness already? i'm sick of these fucking phone manufacturers trying to put tablet-sized nonsense in our pockets (where they don't fucking fit)
iphone 8 to be a 24" retina display confirmed
iphone 8 to be a 24" retina display confirmed
time to get a 5
Which means updates will actually make the phone run better, rather than slow it down.

Right? And for only $200. iPhone's are becoming so outdated with specs it's not even funny.
Oh wow. Thanks for the info then. Can't wait for Friday!

Pretty much, by far the best phone out there and can actually be had for a good price.
Add a Moto 360 to that and you're laughing at those buying an iPhone 6/6+ and the Apple Watch.
The iPhone 6 Plus has huge upgrades over the 5s. The iPhone 6 has slight upgrades.

Cool. So I'd be rocking 2 separate accounts on the same account? I wonder if going to a combined plan would make more financial sense.

Ill be getting that 6+. Love it.
Knowing that they are there is just as bad as seeing them.
Aw, look at the Junior Troll who has had his account since the end of July.
No thanks. I've used an Android phone for the past 1.5 years and I have no plan on sticking with it. iOS is so much more refined and have a much better app ecosystem along with iMessage.
Plus they made NFC worth a damn despite Android having it for god knows how long.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
1 gig gonna suck just like on iPads especially on the larger model with a higher res screen. In theory 1080p content will take up more RAM space.
I'm not saying phones need 4 gigs of RAM. Honestly while 3 gigs in some Android phones is nice I think it's overkill. 2 gigs of LPDDR3 can make a world of difference especially for multitasking though.
Also guess LPDDR4 confirmed for 2015 then unless it sneaks into the iPads. Not surprised though.

I saw what happened with my wife's iphone 4.
Well. I was thinking about getting a Note 4 as my contract expires in October but I might reconsider for this. I actually like stupidly large phones and I barely use my phone for calling.
I never carry my phone in my pocket but in my bag.

Why do people want giant ass phones and how do you even carry them in your pockets
IPhones already have NFC pay...

battery life is MUCH better in the 6+ as is the screen resolution as is the camera.

The junior is actually right. As a person who sells cell phones you wouldn't believe the rage I got from customers coming in complaining about how slow iOS 7 made their phone. Now not everyone might now tell a difference, but a lot of people did.
