    Missed the keynote show but read up about it afterwards and sifted through the live blog... I want that phone so bad but I've never had an iPhone. I've secretly had a desire to get into iPhone for years (pretty much after 4S) but so much peer pressure from just about everyone I know is like IPHONE APPLE SUCKS DROID DROID DROID GOOGLE DROID *continuous rambling* and I'm just like... but lol I waaannt..... lol

    Anybody else like the new iPhone?

    The new iPhone looks great; I've been using iPhones for years now.

    I'm particularly interested in the "phablet" model, the iPhone 6 Plus :slight_smile:

    It doesn't have as many "advancements" as I was hoping for a major release but it still looks good. I'm glad they've gotten away from the square edge look.
    It looks like a lot of the new ideas are old galaxy ideas, but knowing Apple - they'll be more fine-tuned and user-friendly.

    I'm more excited about the Apple Watch.

    I've had an iPhone 4, iPhone 5 along with a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. I like iphone better, especially with iOS 8, I've had the beta since June and it's amazing :slight_smile: I like all it works seamlessly with my Mac and my iPad. Android is fun, but pretty much the only stuff I liked better about Android, texting from computer and 3rd party keyboards. And toss in a bigger screen and I'm on cloud nine.

    I'm gonna go for the Space Grey 64GB iPhone 6 Plus, I like big screens and the better camera and battery life, mainly the better battery life. I can't wait for Friday

    I still have a 5C so I won't upgrade this year (or the next, 2-year contract still paying for it haha). I really like the look, although I preferred 5S' sharp edges, and I'm excited about NFC, increased screen resolution and size and OIS. In a way I'm glad that Apple gave in and segmented their product line. It makes sense to have a couple different editions.

    I am of the mind that it's not my business which phones others prefer, and which phones I prefer is nobody else's business. I'm happy to discuss phones, compare them even, but sometimes it feels like people — unfortunately, even those close to me — aren't understanding that my reason to buy Apple is purely preference. What brand of personal electronics I use (and, very soon, wear) has little to no impact on anyone else, so why should their opinions matter?

    I am REALLY excited for the apple watch. I know a lot of people are saying that battery life is a deal breaker, but I don't really mind charging overnight as long as I can at least get through the day. This is very new technology, it can't be perfect yet!

    As much as I would love an iPhone they are way out of my price range. And I am currently loving Cortana on my Lumia.

    From what I've seen, it doesn't look that different from the 5S. It definitely looks too big to fit into your pocket.

    I have a iPhone4, while it served its purpose, a part of me wishes that I never bought into the hype. When the time comes for me to get a new phone, I'm planning to switch Samsung.

    Yes! Really like iPhones. Kind of want the 6 Plus, but I have no idea how I'd carry something that giant around.

    I know people who are kind of the same way about Android. They hate iPhone and won't abandon Android unless they have to. Me personally, I WANT to switch. I don't mind my S3, but I've wanted iPhone for a while and I'm done giving in to peer pressure. I'm getting one this time! Lol

    I wish the people I knew were like you. But unfortunately, like you, everyone I know (at least in person) is judgmental about stuff they shouldn't be.

    ---------- Post added 10th Sep 2014 at 08:28 PM ----------

    Cheapest iPhone 6 starts at just $199 with a contract. My Galaxy S3 was $299 I think...

    What's your price range?

    ---------- Post added 10th Sep 2014 at 08:30 PM ----------

    Seems like a better phone to me, but I also spent a half hour reading about it lol. Also the regular 6 is the same size as my S3 and it fits in my pocket snugly. And I hope you like Samsung, they're good phones. It's not that I hate my S3, I've just wanted an iPhone for a while and feel like I should finally stand up for what I want instead of giving in to the peer pressure of people I'm surrounded by that Apple and iPhone suck.

    ---------- Post added 10th Sep 2014 at 08:32 PM ----------

    It is large, yes... but that's why they make carrying cases lol. I'm personally getting the regular 6. I want the Plus because it's better with better resolution and stuff and only an extra $100 (which won't seem like much in the long run). But it is a bit too big for me. Regular 6 is same size as my S3, and I'm okay with that.

    I've tried experimenting before with Apple but I ended up never liking their phones.

    If you've loved iPhones for a long time then I'd go for it. I prefer Android and I am sticking to my Samsungs :slight_smile:.

    No, too expensive and Apple is overhyped.
    The Apple Watch is an innovation they say? Yeah right.
    I'll stick with my S3 running Android 4.3 and as a developer of Android apps that is the way to go for me. :thumbsup: :icon_bigg

    It looks nice. But I don't really see the need to replace my iphone 5 yet since it's still working well and I don't need a larger screen size.

    I just switched over to an iPhone last year, and honestly, I'm kind of meh about it. I like some of the integration with my Macbook Pro (which I LOVE) and I like having iTunes on my phone that copies over to my computer, but other than that, I haven't been a fan.

    I used to have a Samsung phone before this, and I think I may be moving back that way next month, as I'm eligible for an upgrade at that point. I haven't made a final decision yet, though...
