Basically all of your funds, personal and credit card, are federally insured(we know this). So we issue the credit up front and work on recovering the funds afterwards.

That iPhone 6 Plus is very big. I suspect it's taller than the Note 3, but probably thinner.

 

Smaller iPhone 6 is 720P, 5.5 inch is 1080P.

I'm not too far from an upgrade and I'm willing to consider all options. Having a MacBook changes up the game a little bit, though it's easy to overstate what those benefits are

iPhone 6 reveal today, apple fans rejoice, droid fans mock. Lol

I'm making the switch. iPhone 6 Plus, here I come!

When they reveal the 4.7 and 5.5 inch iPhones today, people who said they'd never use anything close to that big (looking at you shack...) will probably eat their words.

 

The 4.7 inch phone is about the size of a Nexus 5, haven't seen the 5.5 inch one yet, but I think it might actually be bigger than the current Note 3.

Hah...I have no interest in that iPhone 6 Plus or whatever...how much bigger is the 4.7 than the current iPhone?

 

I need the damn thing to fit into my pants pocket, and I wear tailored slim-fit pants. I can't have any other large objects in there; there is just only so much room...

Out of curiosity, why?

Part of the reason I'm attracted to the iPhone 6 is that it looks like my HTC One, particularly from the back. There are still some big problems with iOS 8 for me, though, so I don't know if I can pull the trigger.

The phones are both very thin. The 4.7 inch one is about the same size as most 5 inch Android phones (Galaxy S4, Nexus 5), so there's some reference.

I'll choose the smaller one when the time comes. I honestly still prefer the convenience of mobility over increased size. I rarely watch any kind of videos or anything on my phone, so screen size really means very little to me.

 

I don't like the increase in width.

It looks nice, no doubt.

 

But yeah, software is always an issue for me when it comes to any Apple products.

 

The thing with iOS is that it works well out of the box for anyone.

 

I don't know how many people I see with Android phones with crap running in the background (T-Mobile's stupid monitoring app, weather apps, etc.) that drains battery with wake-locks. In other words, people don't know how to properly optimize their phone (they shouldn't need to honestly) and developers don't care when they wake-lock the crap out of your phone and drain your battery in 6 hours. You don't get that issue with iOS because developers simply don't have that freedom.

 

So basically, it's either you know your way around Android and try to control wake locks (not many people do or want to bother) or you end up with a phone that lasts a lot shorter than it should and has shoddy performance.

 

Google is finally trying to control wake-lock usage in Android L, which is very much needed. Now it just depends on how many developers update their apps to use those APIs.

Hopefully this pay stuff can actually catch on so you can use it everywhere, or this will be yet another failed NFC implementation.

Out of curiosity, why?

Because I'm tired of the slight hiccup that comes along with owning an Android device and the issues that plague all of them in their inability to age well. Also, I want to be able to FaceTime with my wife when she's on business trips. Also, they released a Google Music app for iPhone which was the last thing keeping me tied to my Android.

I absolutely hate that the functionality that used to exist where you could sync by app, instead of by all apps, went away. I used that a lot.

 

Holy s*** is the iWatch ugly. Looks just like the Samsung Gear Live. I thought I could count on a small, round, watch face.

Aging poorly in a flagship is a Samsung thing. Awful software

One of the things I always hated when using iOS (and I believe this is becoming less of the case) was that, even when a fully functional replacement for a system app existed, you could not change the default. I was stuck with their poor browser and email client for too long.

I like iOS default email client far more than Gmail.

Pic? I am actually more interested in the watch than the phones...

And since I mentioned the iWatch, I should also add that Motorola screwed the pooch with the great white hope for Android Wear, the Moto 360. It's still beautiful, but they put a 4-year-old bulky and inefficient processor in there along with a small battery and the reviews are predictably very negative in regard to battery life. People basically saying that if you do more with it than just look at it now and then, it won't last the day. That's the ONE minimum thing a smart watch needs to do - provide worry-free single day battery life. Ideally, far longer than that.

Gotta disagree with you here, with the sheer options, some of them looked really great.

 

Still not my thing though, I have no use for a smartwatch.

I'm unaware of whether it's changed much since iOS 6 - the last one I used extensively. Are there no longer any restrictions with file attachments, etc.?

 

My mother reports it still won't play nice with her hotmail account, though I wouldn't rule out user error. It treats it as a POP3 account.

It changed quite a bit along with ios7.

 

Hotmail is Outlook.com now, tell her to reconfigure it (it's Exchange) and has activesynch push, along with complete calander and contacts integration.

The thing I've learned about smart watches is that they look much more massive in person than they do in the pictures, which is part of my observation re: iWatch. I have little doubt, given similar Android and Tizen-based watches, that this thing will look like a big goofy calculator watch on a person's arm. The scale never looks right until you get it up close.

 

I'd like Android Wear to become compatible with iPhone, but I doubt the APIs will be there for that.

I'm interested in the biometric/health possibilities...

My watch is pretty big, so I'm used to big/heavy watches.

 

Apple's watch has 2 sizes, I guess, I kind of skimmed the demo (which is still going on), some of the software stuff looks good...but my issue with these watches is the battery life...and though I don't know Apples battery life, I'm betting it sucks.

They give the pricing yet?
