I have to wait; my company is upgrading beginning at the end of September, and we have the choice of the iPhone 6 or the Galaxy s5. I have been very happy with my iPhone, so I am staying with Apple.
When you get it, let us know how it is, if you don't mind. _________________ Plate of shrimp |

I was watching NBC and Tom Brokaw said the most innovative product Apple can produce is a standardized power cord so when he needs to charge his
Apple devices, he can use the cords everyone else uses... ie. Micro USB.
Proprietary power cords that chance from model to model is Istupid. _________________ Glenn

yes, I got one. The cords don't bother me one bit, the current lightning cable has been out 2 years, it hasnt changed device to device. I can plug it in in my sleep, I can plug it in driving without looking at it...
It a huge phone, I don't think I'll like it. It will most likely go on eBay (which right now, has them at about $1225.00) |

The connector has changed once, from 2003 to 2012 Apple used the 30 pin dock connector for iPod/iPhone. In 2012 it transitioned to the lightning connector. It actually had a good run given how much things changed in computing over those years.

Yep, I'm waiting for when the "huge phone" progression finally ends.

Sure, Androids have a lot of the same things as Apple. The main reason I ended up switching to apple is because, with my music software for my midi devices, there are a LOT of great apps that aren't available on any other platform and that's the reality for a lot of people, some things you cannot get on Androids/PC's and you have to have Apple/Mac. _________________ Formerly known in the forums as "OVALTEEN"

the other companies need to go off of the standardized micro usb. it is no where near as sturdy as the lightning connector.
I am not a hater of the other phones out there just think they need to step up on some aspects.
apple definitely needs to up their game in regards to some smaller engineering issues (the loose power button on 5s and some of the other models) |

Because Apple users think iphone features are new and innovative, but in reality were available to Android users a year or so earlier.
Its all smoke and mirrors. _________________ Glenn

Never said you said.
Its the aura of uniqueness and innovation Apple and their kool aid drinker preach. Put a Apple logo on anything and all the news outlets get on the bandwagon. Why does the Apple phone jackets have to have a he that exposes the logo? Because its a fashion statement.
My Motorola doesn't have a logo you can see across the room.
Easiest way to tell a iPhone owners is toyl see them gathered by a outlet charging their phones half way through the day. My phone will go 2-3,days before needing a charge and I use it a lot.
Smoke and mirrors my friend. _________________ Glenn

All right...now...
This is kinda like a Chevy vs Ford topic..
If its what you like.. and want.. who cares what others think or do.
I have an Ipod touch, and an Android Phone.... and can appreciate the features and flaws of both.
I do hate I Tunes though.. All the conversion BS... is for the birds...
Each have their issues.
Its a called competition..
