      @Peter:

      I've got a brand new computer (PC) and my current phone is an iPhone. I don't use iCloud because I don't have Wifi at home, thus I back my phone up using iTunes and my computer. I've read some shit about people losing all the content of their phone when doing this with a new computer..

      My question is: Is it safe for me to make a back up on my new computer (via iTunes), using my old phone?

      Hey Peter. Is your old iPhone already paired with a computer? If it is, you'll need to back it up through iTunes on that computer or use the iCloud. Your carrier might offer some cloud storage as well. But if you don't have Wi-Fi that could cost you a pretty penny in data charges.  If you haven't plugged your old iPhone into a computer, you can feel free to use the new one. Hope that helps

          Will there not be any other lines updated? iMacs maybe? Or is it purely a iPhone thing?

                i was really impressed with the ability of it to be able to draw with the apple pencil and the adobe apps that are supporting it. though the ipad pro is not necessarily applicable for me.

                      Sounds like it was perfect then. It's the tick update to the tock development lines. See 4s, 5s for reference.

                              With my carrier I can upgrade every year now, so I preordered the 6S+.

                              After a year with the 6 I must say its my favorite of the iPhone's so far, but I have a terrible habit of texting and driving, so I ordered the + to help me stop that habit.

                              Really excited for the new touch feature and the live photos. Will do a full review when t gets here if wanted. (9/25-9/30ish)

                                Yup, mine is arriving next Fri too.

                                Might be getting an Apple watch in the next couple of months as well. I tend not to mind my phone when I'm at home and this will make it easier to not miss calls (and not have to run up four flights of stairs when I do hear it ringing)

                                Only at home though, I will continue wearing a mechanical watch out since I usually have my phone in my pocket

                                    Customer response to iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus has been extremely positive and preorders this weekend were very strong around the world. We are on pace to beat last year’s 10 million unit first-weekend record when the new iPhones go on sale Sept. 25.

                                      Looking forward to iOS 9 being out tomorrow, and the 6S arriving a week later  😘 . I probably won't have time to review other than saying 'it's good' which is pretty much expected.

                                        Apple Watch right wrist, Mechanical left or something? I've been minorly tempted to dual watch. Mechanical is still where it's @ for most things… I've been watching the Apple watch wearers use them at work and they do seem at least partially useful

                                          Absolutely not. Just switching them out. Apple watch at home, mechanical watch outside.

                                            have you tried the beta? i've tried it and was pretty impressed by the new functions but can't fully use the pull over stuff and split screen as i used my ipad mini one as the guinea pig.

                                            let us know how's the new screen. prolly the only thing that i feel is convincing. and 4k video recording.
