Apple iPhone 6

[envirotex]

I'm a little late to this thread, but the best phone case I've had is a cheap one from Walgreen's that glows in the dark.

Santa Claus picked it up for me last year and put it in my stocking.

Hey lets keep this thread PG!!!!

I have an EVO and wife has an Iphone 4s, we use Ting for our mobile carrier and pay $75.72 a month. If we used slightly less data for the month it would be closer to $65 a month. On Sprint we were paying $180/month, now we just pay for whatever we use.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. oking:

I remember that one, lol.

It's like that with everything now though. The S4 I got last year is already "obsolete" since the S5 is out and S6 will probably arrive next year. Hell, even Nintendo is getting in on the action with a new 3DS model with better 3D coming out early next year.

S4 and S5 are so similar there is no legitimate reason to upgrade. I'll probably get the S6 once that comes out because I'll be open for the subsidized upgrade.

my wife had the very first generation iphone (it weighs a metric ton) it was the 32gb model, but its nearly 10 years old and we use it as our music player in the kitchen. , not making a case for its greatness or anything, but the wi fi still works pretty well, but its funny cause all the apps are so old its like looking at FB back in 2008 .. one day I plan to sell it to the Smithsonian...

Our old HTC phones are now glorified music players and/or IP cameras. And still work just fine on Wi-Fi.

Agreed. The latest round of "major" releases really hasn't been anything monumental. Android, Apple, or Windows phone.

Any idea/foretelling when the S6 might be released? The screen on my 4s is cracked (thanks, Mrs. Buff!), and I am up for the subsidized upgrade in February. I'm making do with what I have for awhile, but it's starting to piss me off. I'm also thinking about making the switch to 'Droid, much to my wife's chagrin.

I kept my Iphone 3gs around just for an extra player. I went to get it out a month or so ago and the battery had swelled up like a balloon. Completely ruined the phone. I read up on it and its not all that rare if you let one sit around without being used. Kind of disturbing. They said one has not exploded and its designed so it won't, but still...

Nothing as far as a date yet but knowing Samsung and their "The next big thing is here" marketing ploy, they'll likely want to make it a big announcement as opposed to something down the road to wait for.

If you can't hold out, either the S5 or HTC One (M8) are pretty awesome phones. And have been around enough to have the bugs (if any) worked out. Some info if you're interested:

I've been doing quite a bit of research on cnet, and have decided on one of those two, if not the iPhone 6. The iPhone 6's specs are not wowing me, compared with the S5 or One (M8), so now I just need to wait and see if an S6 or HTC equivalent comes out. Any thoughts on the LG G3? One of the aspects of the Samsung that I like is the removable battery, Technically, the battery on the iPhone is replaceable, and I've done that, but it is a PITA.

 

[knight1fox3]

Haven't heard too much on the G3 other than it's also a decent phone. Didn't do a spec. comparison though. Yes I generally look to have a removable battery so that I can keep a fully charged spare with me when traveling. I'll be interested to see what S6 has to offer.

There will always be a Pepsi...

 

[mudpuppy]

Thank God, since coke is nasty.

 

[Road Guy]

Not on the NYSE

 

[iwire]

i think a lot different from IOS and Android is the user experience in IOS is different of Android...except the Android hardware specs is way better than Iphone but somehow with IOS with existing spec, it works wonder

news reports are saying that there are crazy long lines at all the apple, verizon and at&t stores in lieu of the release of the iphone 6. this is nuts. I'll stick with my GS4 thank you.
