Played around with both today at the Apple Store. The 6 was comfortable for me but I'm not sure my wife will like it. The 6 plus was absurdly large.

Just got back from out of the country so I'm a little slow tp update to the new iOS... I'm in the same boat in that it's a company phone so I don't necessarily have Apple by choice.

I remember reading or watching an article where someone designed a phone that you can build like legos. each component was its only little interchangeable block.gut;1655550 wrote:

That's a Google project. Not sure when we'll see it, but I believe testing kits/models are now in the hands of developers.Glory Days;1655940 wrote:I remember reading or watching an article where someone designed a phone that you can build like legos. each component was its only little interchangeable block.

So what's the catch on the trade in your old iPhone and get a 6 for free deal they have now?

I believe Verizon is giving you $200 for an old iPhone. So you can get the 16gb 6 for free.Rotinaj;1656165 wrote:So what's the catch on the trade in your old iPhone and get a 6 for free deal they have now?

The 5's were all 4" screens. The 6 is a 4.7" screen. The 6 plus is 5.5" (absurd).

Thats sort of a turn off to me. I'd probably do the trade in if they were the same size. wouldnt want to buy a new indestructible case and mophie case. It took me a while to get used to the size of the 5s after i got rid of my 4. Definitely not looking to go any bigger.

I was surprised... I stopped in an Apple store this week and I actually kinda liked the 6 Plus. I thought it would be absurdly big (and it was), but I actually liked it over the 6 I think. You really wouldn't need a tablet if you go with the 6 Plus, and I like the idea of having a bigger/longer battery.

Thinking of trading in my 5s and getting the 6 plus, not sure how much I can get for it though.

I was at best buy tonight and compared it to my G3. I was shocked at how much bulkier the 6 plus was even though they have identical screen sizes.SportsAndLady;1656315 wrote:What is so absurd about the bigger screen?

People who have multiple phones on their plan. You can use upgrades for different lines towards your phone. Nice little loophole.wildcats20;1656309 wrote:But who is eligible for an upgrade that has a 5s?

We've been talking about this at work. to me, it sounds like a bluff. From what I read, even Apple cant access your phone. So if you forget your password etc, the phone is bricked?TedSheckler;1655278 wrote:Well we have this going for us...

And on the other hand, all the government has to do is subpoena you to give up your password. you fail to comply with the subpoena and you'll subject to punishment from the law.
