I just got my 5s right b4 last Thanksgiving. I don't care if the new iPhone can fill up my tank I'm good. I won't need another phone for at LEAST another 2+ years. The iPhone is amazing
Keyword is you got a galaxy light. U been android since the jump but got a light? Lol. That's what I sell customers who are first getting into the smartphone wave.Good, good, I like the 5s
Been a Droid nikka since the G1 but high key the stability issues are starting to be a PITA. I bought my Galaxy Light last summer, it's already crashing and deleting shyt off my SD card. And the camera sucks. TMobile is not the wave out here either. Next summer
I dont like the big shyts. I like the Iphone's size. The regular Galaxys are too big. I was gonna get an S4 Mini but then the Light came out for cheaperKeyword is you got a galaxy light. U been android since the jump but got a light? Lol. That's what I sell customers who are first getting into the smartphone wave.
shyt works for me. My first smartphone was a Treo 650... Ive been in the game for a minute
It's wider too, not just longer like that iPhone 5 was

iPads for the price and specs are incredibly worse than laptops and has way less features as well, but because of a LITTLE more convenience of portability and how it was marketed it made billions.
iWatch will be the same shyt.. people will be like
I can read a text from my watch The convenience 
definitely worth $499 and apple will go on to make billions.. just the way of life in this world man.
Just like the tablets that came before iPads, iWatch will do the same thing to the smart watch market and popularize it.
before people say im a hater, ive had an iphone since 2008
ive held onto this iphone 4s for 2 damn years waiting on this iphone 6 and ill get that.but ive never personally bought into the ipad / smart watch hype. shyt I used to sell the most ipads for north california for Verizon and I aint even own one of them mafukkas
If I ever got one, itd be because cardio is fukking boring to me and I could watch movies on it while on the tread mill / riding a bike other than that for $399+ I can buy a decent laptop
You can't compare the probability of a tablet and a laptop. Tablets are much lighter and smaller than laptops. Even the MacBook Air. And apps such as e-readers and games are much easier to use on them. I agree in saying that iPad are overpriced but tablets like the $199 Nexus 7 are useful devices. Even with the more expensive ones, the convenience of active digitizer of the Galaxy Note can't be replicated with a laptop.iPads for the price and specs are incredibly worse than laptops and has way less features as well, but because of a LITTLE more convenience of portability and how it was marketed it made billions.

Im about to go on a long rant ...just warning you lol.
If that is indeed the new iphone design...i like the 5/5s designs better minus how small the screens are. They turned the new iphone into a mini ipad design wise lol.
Anyway...yall worried about the wrong shyt. Yes the phone looks long compared to the 5s...but thats only because previous iphones are tiny as shyt...you can actually afford to get bigger and still have one handed use. Once the phone gets above 5inches in screen size is where you start to have issues with 1 handed use. I have a gs5 and its the absolute max size i can handle with one hand. I can reach everything with my thumb holding with one hand...but when i had the note 3 previously it was impossible...which is why i traded for a gs5.
Im more so worried about if iphone 6 has caught up on the software side. How does google maps work on iphone? I use this is as my ONLY gps and it is the best gps unit ive ever owned....very important to me. I know they have it for ios but does it open up when you click links from the web?
also...google now...its just another app on ios...but being that its baked in-in android makes it more convenient to get to with a swipe up....im not gonna cry about thsi one though because no way apple allows this to be a swipe up or any type of easy access that requires some baked in software programming.
Multitasking...this one is very important...that 2-4 apps TRUE multitasking is not going to cuz it in 2014....i hope the rumors of only 1 gig of ram in 2014 isnt true...2gigs should be needed by now and should be standard for all top of the line smartphones....plus...why not? You are spending top of the line money for iphones...theres really no excuse for it at this point.
Also...does ios has web browsers that handle text reflow correctly? I HATE the way safari shows text when looking on froums like this. On android you can pinch the zoom and the text fits everything in one column so theres no scrolling left to right to read everything and its actually zoomed in close nice and big...seems like safari shows text only one way and you have to scroll left to right to read most of the time...shyt sucks lol. One of those little things i hate that i dont see many people mention.
Siri needs a SERIOUS upgrade...android is WAY ahead with google voice commands...people dont even use siri because of how unreliable it is....it makes them think siri or voice commands is nothing but fluff...when in reality if it was on googles alternative level it would get more use.
Im actually looking forward to at least seeing what the iphone 6 has to offer because i am happy they are finally getting off the small screen snob shyt..people BEEN wanting a bigger screen for years now and im happy they are finally giving people what theyve wanted in that aspect. iphone still has good things going for it like design material quality and OS polish and effects..i actually want them to make a come back on the software innovation side...so im paying attention.

I plan on copping at launch. how does this work. can you preorder online (after its announced) and it guarantees a phone for in store pickup? or does everyone have to stand in line to cop day 1?
and also, i dont have a computer right now, would they be able to activate my shyt without itunes in store? I remember at&t did it for my 4S

I hope they release a new updated version of the iPod Classic. I just want a dedicated music player that does not include internet access, apps and notifications. Please let it be strictly made for audiophiles, Apple. The only company that designed a dedicated music player for audiophiles that matched Apples aesthetics was Astell & Kern's AK100 and that cost about $699 but man was it a beauty if it sat next to your iPhone, MacBook Pro or iMac.
