      Tech and OS aside, I just don;t think the 6 and 6+ are as pretty as the 5 or 4.  The 4S is still the best looking iPhone imo.

        Troof. The stainless band was really pretty and the structural integrity in terms of anything but dropping the damn thing was pretty damn solid.

        Think it, be it.

          I'm just glad people will stop making sarcastic comments like, "why didn't you just get a tablet?" when they see my Note 2.  Now that Apple makes a phone with a 5.5" screen, it will just blend right in.

                  Apple is dead. They should be embarrassed about the unending quality issues and how so many of them are rooted in design.

                  http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/24/ios-8-0-1-issues-possible-fix/

                  When John Gruber, who mocked people who sit on phones in their back pockets (I do this all day every day with my 6" display phone and it isn't bent–Apple has to adapt to the realities of humans and their uses, not the other way around--none of this "you're holding it wrong" BS) has to admit it's "embarrassing" you know it's bad.

                  Think it, be it.

                    ^this is just silly. Apple is not dead they have the best looking devices the safest, easiest and most reliable OS and seamless integration between their devices.

                    Android is clunky and cumbersome. This thread is now starting to fucking piss me off.

                      Seamless integration, yes. Definitely Apples strength.

                      But Android != Android. When one buys a Samsung device this person should expect a ton of bloatware. Try a phone with stock Android the next time, you will be impressed by how smooth it runs.

                      Looks are subjective, but imho the Nexus 5 is the sleekest smartphone device I have ever owned. Minimalistic with quality plastics (not sure those 2 words go together well).

                        Bendgate is really interesting, no comments on it either way. PR nightmare for Apple for sure!

                        I'm thinking of getting one of these, unbendable and only a little bit bigger…...

                        And it has got some real buttons, bazillion times better than a soft keyboard.

                          D, i totally agree with you about software and looks… honestly, the reason why I'm bitching and unhappy is because i rely on apple so much for a cell phone.  If i decide that i don't like what apple does anymore (big screens etc) then I'm just fucked and that worries me.  Every time i use an android phone I'm like wow this is shitty.  It's totally possible that theres one id like but i haven't come across it yet.

                          For computers, i'm sure i'll only use macs... luckily, there's nothing thats as volatile in computing for the worse (subjectively), unlike in smartphones.

                            I have the 6 and the size is great I have had every new model design I do not buy "S" models. The 6 is by far the nicest most streamlined comfortable in hand that Apple has released. I played around with a 6+ again today and I think it is to big for me. However it is by far the best looking display I have ever seen.

                              Another weird thing is that i actually dropped it twice when i was playing with it at the store… and the guy next to me did too.  Must'v ebeen a combination of the slickness and the size

                                    Hang on, you ACTUALLY sit on a piece of glass in your back pocket? I can't believe anyone would ever sit on their phone, it's not made to support the pressure of a human over it's surface area. It's a touch interface device on wafter thin glass.

                                    I'm not mocking and do believe bendgate to be an issue that shouldn't exist, but can't believe you'd sit on your phone!

                                          Every major phone brand has had issues with bending. The only reason people are making such big deal about this is because it's Apple. I'm sure Apple will handle it with grace, bounce back like they always do, and keep making outstanding products.

                                            I don't do it often, but if I have to for whatever reason, I will.  To me, a phone, like most things including my clothes, is a tool.  It was to fit in with my lifestyle, not the other way around.  I have the 5 (no idea which version), and it still looks pretty good and is not bent after a year or so of abuse…
