I have no idea what Apple just improved in the ipad.

Why make a bigger display? It's a magical piece of glass that lets you touch the software.

None of this is impressive. Its just another yearly hardware update that the ipad gets every year.

I have some questions about prepaid plans. The Apple plan thing made me curious about unlocked phones and prepaid plans. Sounds like I could save some money because I hardly use my phone during the day (can't bring it into work), and I use about 35 minutes of talk time each month.

The cheapest I've got my monthly Verizon bill down to is ~$80/month which has 450 minutes, 1000 texts, and 2GB of data. I like the idea of staying on the Verizon network, which limits me to their prepaid plan or this Page Plus Cellular thing I just learned about.

One thing I need to get straight: if I do this Apple plan and pay ~$37 for a 64GB 6S, can I get any prepaid plan that looks attractive, or are iPhones restricted from some plans?

Long story short: I have been in a contract for four years, and I have no idea what my other options are if I get an unlocked phone.

If you get T-Mobile coverage, the $30 plan with 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5 GB data sounds good for you: http://www.debtroundup.com/how-to-get-tmobile-30-plan/
