        So I bought the iPhone 6, the small one. I left the iPhone + because it is too big compared to me.
        6=ok, I keep it in my front pocket, on the left.
        I don't like android devices for one reason only: the audio apps (synthesizers, music studios etc …). Too few and too much latency! Apple devices are pro level audio units.

        iPhone 6 has left me puzzled. Its look is not much of a surprise: it is nothing more than a giant iPod Touch. And the camera lens sticking out is a drop in style.

        I do not believe that the supremacy of Apple is going to last much longer. Speaking of design, I fell in love with the Huawei Ascend P7. I find it wonderful!
        When I saw it I thought: this is the future!

          Delete everything I've written above. I made ​​a mistake. iPhone 6 is the best phone on the market. Apple is the present for sure, and maybe the future as well. Huawey is cute, but has a long way to go.

            I jumped ship for 36 hours, tried so hard to love the Sony z3c but the 6 just won in every single way for me. Glad I have android a chance but never again.

              One of the guys I work with was recently given a brand new Windows Nokia top of the line phone. He lasted 2 weeks. Said it was the best advertising for iPhone he's ever experienced. Went out about bought a phone retail as apposed to having to use company provided windows phone.

                So funny how individual our experiences are. Apple has been a complete train wreck for me and many of my friends since 7.0, and I've had a pretty good experience (with some compromises, but everything generally works) on a top of the line Windows phone.

                Think it, be it.

                  Tomorrow's the day of the next event. Hoping for some good news on hardware and software.

                  Interestingly enough I converted another guy to Mac this week. Unintentionally. When I started @ my workplace I was literally the first mac in the entire company. Just over 18 months in and there's at least 5-10% of the company rocking macs, seemingly gaining at least 1-2 users a month who are buying and using their own hardware. I love it.

                          Apple should at least take you out to dinner and a movie before selling you a mini. 4GB or RAM, now soldered on. $100 extra to get a usable amount of RAM (8GB). They went digging around an antique store and found some 5400 RPM spinning disks. You have to pay $250 to upgrade that nonsense to a Fusion Drive. So now you're at $850 for an entry-level desktop running a processor from 2009. That's simply not acceptable.

                          Think it, be it.

                            ^My parent's Mini has been running since 2007 and has not ever missed a beat. It's been the best desktop I've ever bought. And I have no idea how in the hell a spinning disk has lasted so long. I'm tempted to get my folks another one for christmas this year.

                              Mine's been great too, but sticking your customers with decade-old (being literal here) storage technology when you're supposed to be a premium marque is a slap in the face.

                                  Or hey, if you feel the need to use spinning disks, make them somewhat modern. 5400 RPM on a system with only 4GB of RAM is not the Apple experience. It's a pig.

                                    Just upgraded my Macbook Antique to Yosemite. It all seems to have gone smoothly, and was a free download. But I've only just restarted my machine, so I don't know if there are any problems lurking.

                                    The UI and icons now reflect the flat look that iOS has adopted. I'm not sure what other changes have taken place.

                                      I'm a bit scared to upgrade, I'll let the early adopters sort it out first.

                                      I also probably don't have enough storage.

                                        Amazingly 4 guys I work with had all upgraded before lunch time on Friday. I still run Lion! :P. Software always has issues, and I'd rather others find and fix it for me 🙂

                                          I love my Mac Mini from Spring last year. No problems at all, although I might wait a week or so to upgrade to the new OS. The iPhone 6 Plus arrives on Thursday and I'm looking forward to seeing how useful a big phone is after three years with the 4S.

                                            I upgraded Fri night. No major issues. Couldn't log into iCloud during the setup phase, so I just skipped ahead and then manually logged in

                                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose
