Iphone 6 and Iphone 6 Plus?

Post by TheVeganAtheist »

What are everyone's thoughts on the new iPhones? Im looking forward to a new larger thinner iPhone. The #1 complaint I've had in the last couple of years was that the screen size is too small and I find it hard to type.

I think I'm going to pick up the iPhone 6 Plus because of its added features.

I currently have an iPhone 5 and am not really interested in buying a new one. The iPhone 6 doesn't seem to be much of an improvement. The specs of my iPhone 5 seems to do the jobs I use my iPhone for quite excellently. I wished they would really try to innovate a bit; bigger screen size isn't going to do it (just doing what Samsung does instead of come up with something unique). I actually enjoy the screen size as it was, it fitted perfectly in a single hand. Also didn't have any trouble with typing as you seem to have. I would hate it if it forces you to use two hands now (I have an iPad for those tasks).

Nothing, that's the point of innovation in my opinion. They have to come up with something that is going to blow away everyones expectations. It's hard, but this is what Apple stands/stood for—leading the market, not following it. They used to do this with many of their products, but there isn't anything revolutionary being released in the last few years in my opinion.

It's especially hard to see them make cheap products like the iPhone 5c, which is marketed at young people. Those are just obvious moneymaking moves. And it's their right to do so, but it's not what most people love the company for.

As a person whom is constantly going on about social justice issues i am constantly chastised about my use of apple products, mainly the iPad.

Used phones, bought from family and/or friends/acquaintances. Last gen stuff. If you try to get a modern gen phone used, it's probably been stolen (which is another problem).
