My iPhone 5 is dying, literally, so I will be. What about you?
-
-
Nah, my iPhone 6 still functions proper. My contract isn't up until Jan 2017 anyway.

If it still starts at 16GB, then I refuse on principle. I refuse to support any OEM that still thinks that 16GB is anywhere remotely CLOSE to acceptable in 2015. (Edit: *on a flagship)
Also, the 1GB of RAM in the 6 and 6+ is a major limiting factor. If you don't believe me... multitask on a Nexus 5 and then do the same multitasking action on an iPhone 6. Hell, even a Nexus 4 outperforms a $800+ iPhone 6+ in multitasking. That's insane.Spartan@HIDevolution likes this. -
1GB RAM? That does sound pretty stingy for an iPhone.
-
Well, apparently the 6S is supposed to have 2GB's of RAM and 32GB starting storage capacity. Who knows... Apple keeps things locked up tight.

Eff apple and the horse Tim Cook road in on.

With my Sprint plan, I get a "free" upgrade to a 32GB iPhone 6s (or 7, whatever it is called), so why not do it?
I'll wait until the mad rush dies down though.
-
I also have Sprint, but I may switch to Verizon as they have a better network.
My iPhone 5 is broke... Can't wait. -
Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
Yeah I can't believe phones are still sold as 16 GB base....Lollipop and KitKat are rather large operating systems. Then apps, a few games, media and kaboom if you don't have a microSD slot, you are doomed. Thank goodness the Sony Z3V has 32 GB of internal storage and has a microSD slot.
Honestly, I don't think I'll ever get another iPhone again. The biggest thing was EVERY major Apple iOS update made my phone slower, or the battery got hella worse, OR both. I feel iPhones should just stick with the OS that is currently on (7, 8, 9, etc). That and the battery life eventually goes to garbage, and iPhone batteries were already smaller than other Android flagships, except for the iPhone 6+. -
The 6S is supposed to have up to 24 hours of battery life, to compete with the Galaxy S6. The current iPhone 6 has up to 14 hours.
I'm never upgrading the iOS again. My next iPhone will come with iOS 9, and it will be iOS 9 until the next one. I agree with you about the updating... Something odd is going on there. As soon as I upgraded to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 (which originally came with iOS 7), issues started arising - the screen stopped working, software incompatibilities arose with my car, battery life got much worse, apps would randomly open, I would Tweet things multiple times in a row, etc.Last edited: Sep 3, 2015 -
Yes, I will be getting it, no doubt. My 5S is getting on in years. I've been getting the "S" versions since they started making them. I miss out on the excitement of the new design, but I get it eventually with improvements

I know it says it's for iPhone 4, but people reported that it works for 6 as well.H.A.L. 9000, Gabrielgvs, katalin_2003 and 1 other person like this. -
In theory, they're right. Apple builds, maintains, implements and rolls out it's own proprietary OS meant specifically to work only with their devices. It's not like the fragmentation and implementation nightmare Google goes thru with distributing Android to the OEMs. Apple could make OSX and iOS super optimized with a very small memory footprint. And I do believe it could work damn near perfect for Apple...If they could get their heads out of their butts and so worrying about backwards compatibility.
A little fragmentation didn't hurt nobody. -
Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
Yeah my 5 just kept getting slower and slower, even closing ALL apps in memory and religiously rebooting once every day or every other day. -
Large but we've seen worse (dare I say Samsung)
Like I said, if Cupertino take the effort they put into marketing and focus it on OS optimization and UX design, they could leave Android in the dust. -
I'm not even sure if I'll get another iPhone when the time comes to replace my 6 Plus. I mean, iOS is nice and all, but the cost of having a decent amount of storage is effing crazy. If the iPhone 7 starts at 32GB, then I'll consider getting one to replace my 6 Plus.
-
Hopefully battery life of the 6S is greatly improved over the 6.
I guess iOS 9 combined with the A9 chip = more efficient. We'll see... lol.Last edited: Sep 11, 2015 -
Now that we know everything about the iPhone 6S, who's getting it?
I'll be pre-ordering it at midnight. My current phone is done for. -
I can't help but laugh at the Apple pencil. It looks to be very gimmicky.
I also don't understand why the new iPad Pro will not be running the full OSX? If Apple really wanted to one-up the Surface Pro, they need do only two things:
1. Run their full OSX on the iPad Pro.
2. Stick a Wacom digitizer in the iPad Pro, and there'd be no need for an active stylus.
Those two alone would have the iPad Pro kill the Surface lineup quick as a flash. -
I don't own any other Apple devices. The phone is the only thing that's not horribly overpriced compared to competition.
But yes, the "iPencil"is just... Well, it is what it is.
-
I am
I will continue my tradition of getting the "S" phones. I've been using iPhones for over 6 years now. Things aren't changing any time soon.
This is also the first S phone where I felt the upgrade was fairly major. -

Or do you think that messiah of hipsters would ask more for that pencil? -
As of now, I expect it to last through 7 and 7S, then I'll get the 8 or 8S. -

All the more reason to get the iPhone 6S: Movie interruptions.

a friend gave me a 64GB Gold iPhone 6 and i let my GF have it. she bought me a 16GB iPhone 6 and i've been hating it because of the lack of memory.
i'm gonna wait for the iP7 to come out and then i'll just go back to upgrading from "S" to "S" after that. -
I've been thinking about getting an iphone, as a typical android user I'm not sure so I haven't jumped in yet. I've been reading the reviews of the 6s and they don't seem to be that great. I'm also afraid of the battery life, I've been using a Sony Z3v which honestly has a VERY good battery life and I've grown accustom to it.
-
honestly, there's nothing really special about the iPhone besides it's superior operating system.
pretty much every other major competitor's flagship model(s) have better/more innovative (ha!) features on their spec sheets. -
-
Linus did a fair review of the iPhone 6S. He's a life Android user. Might be something you'd like to watch.
I love the phone. It's a huge upgrade over my iPhone 5. iOS is great, despite its minor annoyances. The battery life of the 6S lasts me at least two days of regular use. I've heard the 6S Plus lasts up to 3 days without recharging with high usage, but that phone is just too damn big for me. -

But anyway, here's the review that matters: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/the-apple-iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-review -
Seems like a lot of the new Android phones are becoming more like iPhones, what with getting rid of removable batteries and SD cards; in that case then the hardware is hardly different. (The 3D touch feature is a cool new difference though). It is mainly a matter of the OS. And I just much prefer iOS.

Seems like everything is moving toward iPhone. -
^Wow. I'm embarrassed for that phone. -_-

I actually went with an A9. Mostly because the promotional price is $399 and it looks like a decent smaller phone.

there are 3 reasons why i stick with the iPhone:
1) that's what i'm used to and what most of my friends have.
2) iOS has a "smoothness" that i don't really find in other smart phones. u might not be able to tell with just a few minutes of use, but try out an iPhone for a week or so and then see if it feels any different for u.
3) the resell market.
i haven't tested alot of newer phones from the other major companies so my opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. -

The only Android phone I was really interested in was the LG G4, due to it having both the SD card and the removable battery. I was also pretty impressed with the display when I saw it at Best Buy (in addition to the leather backing). I knew I was getting an iPhone, but if I had had to get an Android, that is the one I would've chosen.

That Droid Turbo 2 is looking pretty good. Shatterproof screen? I'll take one please.

i also think that Samsung with that Edge screen is nice looking too. i think it's a Galaxy?
iPhone 6S, anyone?
