New phones available Sept. 19, pre-orders start Sept. 12
Cool!
That 6 Plus is definitely a sexy looking phone, but I prefer Android, because I like to ‘get under the hood’ and make alterations and ‘hack’ the stuff I use. I’ll wait and see what Samsung does to counter Apple.
A year ago, I never thought I’d be saying this, but the new Blackberry phones are pretty nice.
It’s about time they upped the size. Samsung has been killing them on that.
Now I might actually consider the iPhone next time around ... but I sure won’t camp out or stand in line for one. That’s just craziness.
Cool Dick Tracy watch they got there, but again ... nothing I’m going to kick down a door to get. Seems too thick, IMO, and I’m sure the price is going to be more than I’d be willing to pay. No thanks.
Apple fan boys must be in ecstasy today, their dead god just drop new mana from heaven!
The reality is, apple is over priced and underpowered. It’s the product for form over function!
But I will admit, it’s really pretty!
No sapphire screen because apple did not have enough children working in the sapphire mines of Burma.
The watch was a bigger announcement than the phone, as the phone announcement pretty much just confirmed what had been long-rumored. I hope this trend of ever-increasing size stops at some point, because even with large hands, I’m having trouble with single-handed operation on these things.
It’s the non-hardware stuff that’s really important here, though. The new payments system (admittedly, relying on NFC hardware) with buy-in from major banks and retailers, the ability for developers to securely include extensions in other apps, etc., set the stage for a big leap forward on the software side. We’ll only really see the full extent of that after to iOS8 release and time for developers to take full advantage of the new features.

Drive a nail in a 2 x 4 and it still makes a call!
Gotta have the bigger screen to watch the Facebook mobile ads.
I have noticed that the size of ones phone is inversely related to a persons IQ.
