Gonna be hard not to get this in lieu of say a Note4 this fall.

I'll be trading my Note3 for the 6+.

I know this site primarily leans towards Android devices, but having this Note3 really turned me off that operating system. I'm gonna go back to iOS and be content for my uses.

Im trying to understand why exactly should I make the jump from android. I have used droid forever and use it just fine. My upgrade is up now and I can get a HTC one 2nd gen for 150.

How much will the iphone cost me and would it be worth to change platforms?

Yeah just saw they the rumors of the large Iphone are true. Definitely makes me take a second look at Iphone again. I'll be switching from my Galaxy S4 to either the I6 Plus or Note 4

I didnt catch it but did they upgrade the ram?

Android just got bitch slapped

I don't see much of anything that sets it apart from the high end Android phones, but I'm excited about it because our company uses iPhones so its nice they finally caught up on screen size from 2010. I hate the operating system and being tied to iTunes but I'm not willing to turn down a free phone and contract.

thanks, I would opt for the plus if I could since it seems to be similar in size to the S3 or whichever model is closer. I probably would never use apple pay, im paranoid

 

[BlueSnake01]

I could be wrong but I swore HTC had just released HTC One and One Max….. oh…. its an iPhone 6…

Jokes aside, I wonder how some iPhone users will feel especially when they used to call a lot of android users brick phones

 

[TERMINATED97]

burst mode for selfies....i'm in

JK

Wonder how long before that Apple Pay system gets hacked.

I had the 1st gen Iphone.. It was a good phone for sure.. I switched to andriod in 2010.. Haven't looked back, but that was mainly due to the screen size.. My main question and concern is going to be the camera/video recording pixels and in HD or not?

 

[Devious_Snake]

ok 4.7 inch screen is close to my S3, so that would be my choice.

Ahh to be clueless.

It pretty much gained nothing on Android in features well, except for the burst/timing mode selfies LOL

Still, about time Apple gave a better competition. IMO their iOS seriously needs a new change but still gotta admit its silky smooth. Good to see iPhone stepping their game up with the NFC chips, I cant wait till this a standard pay.

Also, this has been leaked since the 6th.

8mp camera that will do 1080p in 30 or 60 fps. Or 120/240 fps for slow mo.

That's just the marketing spin stuff. I'd be more interested in it's bit rate, sensor type etc. It appears the 6+ comes with an optical image stabilizer which will be nice.

 

[03cobra#694]

I for one will be on this, as I'm eligible for a upgrade from my 4S.

They finally jumped into the phablet world.

I love my Note 3....and was set on the Note 4.....but this 6+ has my attention. The standard 4.7" 6 model, no thanks.

I hope someone I know, grabs one. I really need to check it out in depth - before hopping back on the Apple Train. It's been about 6 years, and I never thought I would go back...

One thing I truly like with my Note, is the integrated Stylus. I am sure most people never even use theirs, but.....I use it all the time, and have a hard time imagining it not being available..

glad to see the price is solid. I have been due for an upgrade for about a year now lol.

Looking forward to seeing them in person. I love the bigger screen but also want it to realistically fit in my pocket etc.

My 70 year old dad might enjoy the iPhone 6.
