Cant' wait to see what's in stock with the new iPhones. Going to be tricky deciding between the 6S and 6S Plus.

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

You know, ive been an iphone user sens the beginning, always iphone never android. This year i basicly was fed up with Apple staying behind the times and keeping there 16gig standard, keeping the same screen type/resolution. I made the switch to a Galaxy Note 5 and I am never looking back... I mean something as simple as folders that show way more icons so i dont have to swipe through pages. I also feel like the screen animations, and multitasking are all faster. I feel like apple was good at making me think they were the one and only best phone, when in reality this note 5 blows my iphone out of the water

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

I'm with you, Android certainly has it's pluses over Apple, but it's a two way street for both. A lot of apps that come out on Apple come very late or don't come on Android at all. Last but not least, you can't ignore the hype that is Apple. One of my fav features is face-time. It's incredible to be able to talk to your near and dear ones without 3rd party software hoping your family has the interest to install a similar one as well.

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

I like the idea of the ipad pro but lets be real here apple, the reason your pushing to compete with the surface is that it runs a full OS.... Should have brought OS X to ipad pro.

Is this the beginning of the end?

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

Did you really feel so Ray? I thought the new phone is just about everything I was hoping in the next gen iPhone, better camera (I was so done with that 8 MP shooter), 4K video, faster processor. Funny how Apple strategically ignored to talk about battery life and dimensions.

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

I guess in this day and age it's hard to wow. Maybe this was the wrong event but it's mostly incremental upgrades. I have no use for the new features in Apple TV, my One Plus One with a custom Android rom is still very spiffy, they released an iPad Pro with keyboard and pen that competitors already have ...

A quick look at the Apple TV remote, while adequately designed, I'm not sure if the feature-creep/bloat is one that Jobs would've approved.

Basically there was nothing from the event that I would want to purchase. Gone is the luster and lust.

Maybe those features just don't appeal to me and I'm being out-evolved

I do like the look of the Hermes Apple Watch and found it funny that a fashion house simply elongated the proportions of the watch and it immediately looks so much more elegant vs Ive touting all their time with horologists and research into crafting the first Apple Watch release.

This!

I saw the event... and again.. was not impressed. That being said I LOVE iOS... soooooo fluid and beautiful... I have yet to see Android catch up!

Don't mind picking up the iPad Pro as a desktop replacement... but seriously they need to ditch 16gb versions... I mean wth apple

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

The iPad pro does start at 32 gig but it needs OS X imo

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

ipad is still useless, no matter how many #'s are after it or if you call it a "Pro". agree with everyone else, needs full OS X; its a damn tablet Apple, not an enlarged phone with no phone capability. also, no USB still makes no sense. Nvidia's SHEILD tablet is pretty nice.. if you are a gamer of course.

i have been an iphone owner since the 2 and have been thinking about switching to an android also recently. i have another year on my contract so i will wait to see if the 7 gets better than the then-Samsung flavor... not really holding my breathe though.

Taking the plunge on the 6s Plus

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

Do you store a phone that big in your front pockets generally? I know this was discussed before but phones are even bigger now

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

No I've stopped carrying phones in my pockets, I generally keep them in hand from my car to my desk / home and they sit at my desk all day. If my hands are full, I'll just slide them into my back pocket but that's very temporary.
