Ok
I have a large family
Two iPads
One iPad mini
Five iPhones
One MacBook
I finally gave up my 4 year old razr droid and bought a 6+
I owned a 4s long ago and gave it up because it had reverb on Bluetooth or auxiliary plug to truck speakers which is what I need to hear
499 with verizon upgrade....i have 11 lines
Plenty upgrade on my 100 gig plan
Data usage on verizon for business used to be unlimited free
Bastards
Pros on iPhone 6+:
graphics...of course
Siri....she cannot be overstated for us with southern accents....the rest only understand Yankee pitch and tone
The text keyboard is great
Text ergonomics good
Camera....I like
iTunes Bluetooth or wired to big driver speaker...great...much better....it’s like Klipsch versus Beats..no contest
Photos....good
Copy and paste magnifying glass...great
I don’t game....silly....grown men 45
I’m still learning good stuff.....overall ergonomics great....this is their raison de voire
Bad stuff on iphone6+:
Apple itself....snarky and arrogant paranoid uber proprietary outfit....if they don’t make it they make it difficult....if they do make it....u pay for
Droids are much more open ware technology...no cult club following
No scheduled auto text...with many businesses and 5 kids this matters....I can’t text workers at 4 when I recall something important
Will not work with 2014 Silverado Bluetooth.....this is simply unacceptable for a retail 1000 dollar phone
And I counted on it...I drive 130-150000 miles a year in this truck alone
Text message alert sounds....do not work....a well known issue......I live by text
I haven’t decided yet...I almost bought the big screen Galaxy Edge
A platform I know well....similar to Motorola
I bought this cause I love apple ergo but jury is out trending iffy
I chose this over the Samsung cause if I flare off one of my kids would prefer it over an android
Kids stuff and gaming...it rox
Business use....not so much...at least not yet
WOW, 11 lines. That's a lot. I thought my office was crazy. Two carriers, AT&T and Verizon . . .
Apple itself....snarky and arrogant paranoid uber proprietary outfit....if they don’t make it they make it difficult....if they do make it....u pay for
i think you will find they are not. Mostly Apple is very helpful and most of their stuff is very open standard. For example, Android uses Webkit, which was developed by Apple, is owned by Apple, and is maintained by Apple, but was placed in the open software licensing for anyone to use by Apple. Android also uses CUPS, as does Linux, the Apple developed Common Unix Printing System which Apple also placed into the commons. . . and that's just the beginning of what Apple has placed into common open source circulation. Even Safari is open source. This idea that Apple is completely closed is a myth. Parts of Apple's OS are closed, yes. But it's core OS is not.
But, across all your devices, you only have to pay for it once. . . and then never again. Upgrades are free. . . and the resale value of the devices will often pay for the upgrade of the device when it's time.
No scheduled auto text...with many businesses and 5 kids this matters....I can’t text workers at 4 when I recall something important
There are apps that will do auto text and scheduling for you. Apple leaves a lot of that stuff to 3rd party to do, interfacing with the Apple App or the API to do it. Look around, you'll find one you like. I don't need to do that, so I have no recommendations for you. Sorry.
Will not work with 2014 Silverado Bluetooth.....this is simply unacceptable for a retail 1000 dollar phone
Now that is odd. I have not run into a bluetooth an iPhone would not work with. I would check with your dealer on that. . . may be something set wrong. I've had trouble getting my Ford Sync on my 2009 Taurus Limited Edition to see my iPhone every time i have to re-sync the bluetooth but eventually it gets it. . . and then it reconnects solidly from then on. But then its had trouble syncing to every phone from friends who've tried it.
Kids stuff and gaming...it rox
I'm not a gamer either. . . but occasionally I will veg out and play Bookworm for hours on end until I burn out on it. . . got one game going in which my points are over 36 million. . . so every so often I will revisit it and add to that total. LOL!
Business use....not so much...at least not yet
For business use, you can download Microsoft Office for free now. That includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.. . but Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will do most anything you need and will sync to your MacBook.
