Is there anyone who has already bought iPhone 6?

Hey.. is that really you Summer? or Gaby? your skype name says Gaby...

using Summer`s account.. smart move ;)

I love that the new 6 is so damned fragile. Lots of people dropping them. They seem to break if you look at them wrong. I loved the news shot on release day...

They were interviewing the "lucky" fans that got theirs first and one guy was taking it out of the box to show the reporter and it fell out when he took the box lid off. It hit the ground and was cracked in 2 different places and dinged up bad in a third. The look on his face...like a kid that just found out Santa wasn't real.

*Disclaimer: Not trying to start a flame war either but I am an Android person. Any poking fun at Apple, Apple products, or Apple "Sheeple" is purely intentional.

I gave up on Apple’s tactics and their delicate frail crap long ago after several ifone 4 failures. ( also i prefer bigger screens for my back country mapping and navigating purposes and happy with my better Galaxy Note-3 with 160GBs of storage.

I don’t carry a phone with me at all but i never was able to jump on the apple bandwagon. there products are over priced and under driven as hardware goes. Too many of there product are based on old technology and def. are not user friendly. But then again i like to tinker and overclock my hardware.

Im using Samsung Galaxy 4 now. but I miss HTC Diamond with WM6.1 and 6.5.

My first smart phone in 2010. I had a lot of fun then.

IPhone 6 bends easily

IMHO the new Nexus 6 is where it is. S805, 5.2 IPS 2560 x 1440, 3GB ram, 13MP camera, HTC made, for around 450$, Android L (much faster then any OS ever) see ya Apple.

I have an upgrade with verizon next spring… I am looking at the nexus 6, galaxy s6, and note 4

all will be around $200ish with a contract

Apple is not about specs, it is about the experience. Had an Iphone 3g, switched to an Galaxy S2, back to Iphone 4s, now I have a Galaxy S4. Each OS has its good parts, ease of use certainly goes to Apple. I use Android mainly because I like to flash different roms and poke around under the hood.

I do the same. Galaxy s3 here.

Not hating on apple - droid does have problems too depending on the model, but there usually are workarounds and the phones are generally cheaper.

Eagerly waiting for my 6 Plus which goes for sale on Friday here on Finland.

You guys mocking the specs of the iPhone should check these benchmarks on Anandtech . Meagre dual core still beats the high end Android phones on browser tests and is on the same ballpark on the other tests. 1GB of ram is still a bummer though.

Apple is not my cup of tea. I’m currently using samsung galaxy note 2 but will upgrade to note 4 next month! :slight_smile:

I had an Ipad 2 and 3 for a while - worked well and no issues - I prefer tinkering with my droid Nexus 7 though :slight_smile:

I don’t get the “same spec as 2012” I have a Samsung note 2 for work and now a iphone 6plus for personal, the note still has “better spec” with its quad core but I can tell you it’s no where near as fast as the iPhone
I also have a lumia 1020 which despite its low spec still runs smoothly with a great camera , I came from a windows mobile background then into android with a HTC Sensation, the only thing sensational about that was the lag
I don’t want to start a “war ” here as I really don’t see the point of people argueing over which phone they like they all suit people differently

My experience of android wasn’t good so I’ll keep off it. In my job I do get to test quite a few handsets and the HTC One M8 is a good phone with great audio speakers the only thing comparable I have tested is the Blackberry Z30 which tbh I really like as a phone , different UI and quite nice all round

i’m still using my cheap huawei android device and very satisfied with it :slight_smile:

I have a ZTE Engage smart phone which is just a single core cheap-o with vanilla Android 4.0 and I’ve been pretty happy with it. But all those generic Chinese phones are starting to look awesome. I’ve seen 8 core CPU, retina display, dual-sim fully loaded phones for about $150 that look like they blow away everything on the market.

I just upgraded the 7 inch tablet to an Asus Memo7 which has 4.4 kit kat and beats most of the T-mart tablets in that price range for value, so companies like Asus are trying to stay competitive with those cheap sites. I also got a dual core 7 inch tablet from Tmart for $38 and it’s fantastic. I just saw it at a4c.com for $34 though their version is only android 4.0 and mine from Tmart is 4.2.

So in the long run I’m not sure people are going to be using name brand phones in 10 years when you can buy them at the grocery store. I think all the name brands are over priced, with Apple being at the top of the over priced heap. Look at the specs and reviews of those generic phones and they look great.

I love to tinker. I had my first “professional” experience with Linux in ~1995 when I installed it on a cast-off 386 at work to serve as a BOOTP, DNS, SMTP and POP server when I got my employer on the Internet. I’ve been running it, professionally and personally ever since. For the last 4-5 years I’ve been running a small fleet of home servers based on Marvel Kirkwood devices “hacked” to run Debian.

When it comes to my phone, and my main computer, I pretty much don’t want to do any of that. I want good stuff that just works. Apple has been delivering that to me for years. Apple has never been (just) about the specs. It is about the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, and with Apple, that starts before you buy your first Apple device, and ends, well, maybe never. That said, no other phone touches the performance of the iPhone 6’s A8 SoC, or the iPhone 5s’ A7, for that matter (unless you are running the rare mobile app that can make good use of more than two cores).

That said, I’m kind of regretting keeping my iPhone 4s for a 3rd year, and not just because I didn’t bother switching to a non-contract plan — I ordered an iPhone 6, and I’m sure I’m going to be quite happy with it (provided it doesn’t bend in my pocket), and I wouldn’t buy a 5s at this point. If I’d bought one last year though, I’d be happy right now to let Apple figure out if everyone really wants a larger iPhone (clearly some do).

I’m still waiting for my order to be delivered. In the meantime, I got my hands on the new iPhones recently. The 6plus is ridiculously huge. I can’t imagine buying one unless I always carried it in a bag, a jacket, or cargo pants. The regular 6 is more manageable, but still a bit larger than I’d like.

I have been thinking about getting a cheap android tablet, or phone, you know, to tinker with.

my family is split over them my son’s love their I phone 5 and my wife daughter and I love our Samsung s5s to death!
