Get the 5.5'' iPhone 6 Plus so that when a woman asks you how you fit it into your pocket you can say "i'm used to having 5.5 inches in my pants."

Out of curiosity, which cases are people planning on grabbing for the plus?

computer parts posted:I don't really get this line of reasoning because I have normal khaki pants and a 4.7" phone fits there with plenty of room (I expect a 5.5" one would be fine too). The more expensive pants are the smaller pockets tend to be. Normal khakis should be ok, since in theory aren't they designed to hold like 4 golf balls? Edit, ugh.. people advocating for belt clips.

Yea, if the lines are going to be 12 hours, then just drive an hour to a store that isn't crowded or something. Like if I lived in Palo Alto, I would drive to some crappy Verizon store in Boulder Creek than wait in line. In the end, each year the wait is like 30 minutes because of this strategy, but I only drive 15 minutes now

lelandjs posted:Or you could get the light pink leather case which is, according to the photos on Apple's site, the same color as the gold backed phone. Or just get a totally clear (or 80% clear, excepting the sides) case that won't really protect like an otterbox but keeps scratches from the sides and back.

noirstronaut posted:Because they usually don't really sell for that much unless you come across some sap who can unlock phones for free and will flip it for profit. I mean I wouldn't think its hard to CL off a 16 gig one for 350 or more. A 32 gig one should easily get 400.. 300 seems like a flat out ripoff

Well multiple outlets are reporting now that the 6+ will have 2GB of RAM, so that's nice. Maybe they are full of poo poo and this is echochamber stuff? It seems pretty reasonable.

In terms of space, you could always invest 100-200 in your own personal Cloud storage device. Recent updates to WD MyCloud have really improved the quality and speed of the applications and I like it better than other cloud storage options.

vyst posted:You need to learn that everyone ITT is a power user and thinks that they are the norm with filling their phones with animes and movies to watch at all times because you never know when you need a selection of 25 HD movies to choose from. Your arguments are culturally insensitive. Anyone with asian relatives or friends knows they will fill up a 16 gb phone with pictures alone before they leave the store.

I mean you have choices.. Do you want: 1) A slightly thicker phone whose sole purpose is to conceal the small lens bulge OR 2) A slightly thinner lens that takes worse photos and videos while maintaining the thinness of the phone Making the phone thicker doesn't seem like an option in a year where they are enlarging the screens and need the extra 'hand hold feel.' As one benefit, I can have another method of finding which side of the phone is the top when I pick it up in the dark or from a bag.

serebralassazin posted:The verge is an alright site to me. They get called Apple fanboys in the comments of their articles pretty frequently Does this even matter? There are many people it seems whose job in life right now is to 'nail' anyone saying that the 6 is a good phone. So many that the comments sections are entirely irrelevant.

I've used Swype as well as other keyboards on android/windows devices before, and now that I am using them again I find myself thinking I would prefer the normal iPhone keyboard (in iOS 8) so long as it's on a bigger screen. So good thing for the 6 I guess.

I think there are, oddly enough, a great many consumers of phones who purchase the smallest phones (16gb or otherwise) out of some strange guilt for buying new and expensive technology. In some cases it's almost self-punishment, or a signal that they are austere or that even though they have a smart phone "they don't ever play games, take many pictures, store movies or music" etc. They are mainly boomers or older and there are a great many of them. It's not simply that people don't have money or have no use for space.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Kinda bummed that family sharing shares a single payment method. My partner and I like the idea of it, but we keep discretionary spending like music or apps separate from each other. I mean if there is significant overlap in paid media used, then it makes a lot of sense to lose a bit of personal freedom for the sake of adding a mutual bank card as the master account. In my family's case, the overlap is probably 40%, which is still at minimum 50-100 a year in saved money. Well worth the inconvenience of having charges on my card.
