The Apple Watch does look really cool, but $349 is a lot. I want it for all the fitness stuff.
I know they're a business and trying to sell stuff, but it's cool how much they are putting emphasis on exercise, which is something our country really needs.
gleflochApple really doesnt innovate anymore, all they do is throw their name on something that android devices have been doing.
Such a boring statement, Apple has on most occasions never been an innovator, what they were and are still good at is taking existing technology and simply making it work brilliantly whilst encased in good design.
And even if their lack of innovation would be the only criticism, that's high praise.

Yeah I see your point, apple does make amazing products, its just that stuff like nfc, wearables, and big screens has been the norm on the android side of things and the minute that apple brings it into their ecosystem, everyone who owns an apple device freaks the fuck out. At least apple does a very good job at copying and implementing these technologies into their devices.
iphone6/6+ were basically 100% as I expected, iPay may be more useful then expected. Apple Watch is a uglier than I had hoped for but looks to be pretty feature rich (lol at the scroll wheel...the analog that we worked to replace... apple pls..).
Im not an apple designer or an electrical engineer and I don't know the internals but I think they should have used a touch sensitive side frame in place of the wheel. The technology has been around for ages and apple is more then capable of make a sensitive/accurate capacitive sensor on it.
Think about how much better zoom would be if you just swiped the side rather then turned a knob, which requires you to change the orientation of your hand and use force with 2 fingers (we've grown accustom to touch screens!)
Thought apple would go for Moto 360 design-
Personally more excited for the official drop of iOS8 and Yos. Once all that comes together shit will be cash.
Also, CAN WE GET A FUCKING MAC MINI REFRESH FOR GODs SAKE?
wolfbackpackAnyone else have the Google nexus 5? I fucking love my phone. Its got a hell of a decent sized screen, great camera, I've watched so much porn and have so many apps and its never slowed down on me. WOULD RECOMMEND.
f/2.2 aperture and everything else about the camera sounds orgasmic. 240fps slow-mo, cinematic stabalization. do the 6 and 6 plus have the same camera?

Wasn't their camera already 2.2? Nice apple.
The 240 ugh apple once again, nice.
Cinematic stabilization is a gimmic, just saying.
You realize apple just says "hey check out these subpar featurez" in such a dramatic way that you think they're legit? They basically lie to you and act like they're revolutionizing everything and doing new shit when it already exists or is on the older iphones. The general public is fucking retarded.
There's literally nothing exciting about this announcement. Usually Apple takes existing products and improves on them. This time around, they just made a fancy commercial with a lot of PR hype.

Lol since the iPhone 4 it's been like this dude. The 4 to 5 was supposed to be so fucking epic and they just made it a little taller. I'd say 5s -> 6 is more significant, the size increase will probably bring over some android users but it will also probably turn away/piss off some fan boys.
wepresidentnowany word on the battery life of the 6+?? should be an improvement, right?....bigger screen=bigger case=more batteries
To a point, yes. My note 3 has a 3200mAh battery, but the screen is 5.7 inches. It will have a much longer standby time but as for true "use" it'll be slightly better but a bigger screen = more power and your screen of your phone takes up 1/3 of your battery use.

That's why I said "usually". I'm agreeing with you.
The referenced post has been removed.
True. Except somehow the Samsung's technology surpassed the current version of the iPhone... two years ago.
pat_in_the_hatsoooo what different about it from all other "flagship" phones? (m8 one, s5)
it has rounded edges? and thats really it?
serious question, no sarcasm
Not much. To me, it seems like they basically made the new 6/6+ to appeal/convert Android users. However, the hardware isn't even up to par with most current Androids. Camera is only 8mp, processor is 2gh (which is basically standard now), no SD card slot, increased bloatware, and a watch you can pair with it (which already exists as well). I feel like people are going to complain about battery life now that Apple finally made the screen on the 6+ version 1080.
ThaLoraxMy discontinued 3 year old S3 has an 8mp camera. What's your point? "OMG you noob, it's the lens not the megapixels"?
I mean, you just contradicted yourself. Megapixels have nothing to do with image quality, its about the sensor and the lens. Having an aperture of 2.2 on the iphone (1.9 on the lg g3) helps bring in more light, which creates a better image. It really is about the lens (partially) MP is completely worthless when your sensor is 1mm wide, in reality less MP would inherently be better.

yeah, look what HTC is trying to do with their flagship phone, i believe it's only a 4 mp camera
to be honest i'm so roped into the apple ecosystem i am excited for the 4.7 inch screen. makes me feel less lame and less sad that i don't have an android phone
so is this phone worth it or not? im getting a new one at the end of the month and im sick of having zero battery life, memory, and a shitty phone camera. any suggestions?
DeebieSkeebiesso is this phone worth it or not? im getting a new one at the end of the month and im sick of having zero battery life, memory, and a shitty phone camera. any suggestions?
Any phone you buy that came out in 2014 will not have these issues.
