Apple's Sept 9th Event

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

The consumption habit on a phone is so different these days.

I like the Plus size, can't go back once you try it. But that could be very much due to age too, it's just easier to read and do stuff. Perhaps if I go out partying a lot I'd find the size a hindrance. Back in the day I would have to carry a phone, wallet, and tobacco paraphernalia for roll-ups and a Plus size would've been a no-go for sure, especially on the dance floor.

I too slip it into my back pocket, have never liked carrying stuff in the front pockets regardless, don't like stuff rubbing on my thighs.

I played with the 6S today, my sister has one... it wasn't much different from my 6 in terms of what I use it for. The camera did seem a bit better though and video too.

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

I was really on the fence with the size of the 6S Plus. I have the Galaxy S6 which is a little bigger than the 6S and it's perfectly sized for my palm. But having used the 6S Plus for the last week, I've gotten over the size factor so fast, I'm finding it really useful using the screen real-estate for reading up on work emails, texting, YouTube, News, and not to mention the battery life. It's just downright amazing.

So glad I picked it up. I'm actually finding the Galaxy S6 a little small for my comfort now lol

Performance-wise, I did notice a big step from the 6 Plus, which I used for a couple of weeks and returned. Videos would constantly freeze and jitter when moving from portrait to landscape, which annoyed the heck out of me because it never happened to me on the 5S. I guess pushing all those pixels with the severely malnutritioned 1 GB ram seems to have been fixed (at least on the 6 S Plus) with the bump up to 2 GB ram.

The device is definitely well balanced and smooth as can be.

And definitely props to the camera and the slefie-screen-flash. I took a ton of photos with my daughter this weekend and it works well.

Live photos are a bit of a letdown, we're so used to putting the camera down after the picture is taken that nearly all of mine end with my video of my phone facing the floor.

Otherwise, I'm just happy to be back in Apple-camp and iMessage / Facetime with family.

I am definitely enjoying my 5.5 screen real estate and would not go back either. Face it K, we're getting old. The larger screen makes everything easier

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

My note 5 is a 5.7 screen and I could never go back smaller now lol... Mite grab the iphone 7 if new features way out.

That's what's making me nervous, although I still don't wear glasses, it's just the presentation and overall experience of how things are on the larger screen, which is something I tried and avoided for the longest time.

Re: Apple's Sept 9th Event

staring at any small screen in front of your face for very long can't be good for our eyes long-term though
