"we had five, and they've all been sold"

probably abt right

Tried to order one today, the store's ordering computers crashed before I could place it. Wonderful!

Ordered two 6's at 2 AM this morning. Kind of sucked to wake up at two and spend over $700, but YOLO.

I think I'm going to take advantage of my friend's long-running scheme of having all of his extended family on his verizon plan, and then making the old people keep the same phone for years.

Good: faster, more storage, better camera, NFC
Bad: bigger

I'm kinda not compelled here, even though Glyde makes this a pretty affordable upgrade. I guess I'll go play with one and see how I feel.

^ where I'm at, I printed out a paper size template that someone put up and played around with it. I'm not so much concerned about the size pocket-wise but I definitely won't be able to hit the top-left corner with my right thumb while holding it in one-handed typing position, which irks me. In person next to the 5S though (I have a 4S still) it might just seem way better regardless, so that's what I intend to find out.

just ordered my dad a 6 from verizon as hes been walking around w a 4s like a fool, said itd be there by 10/7

lag∞n, Friday, 12 September 2014 20:33 (nine years ago) link

not bad

I printed out this stupid paper template thing after silby mentioned it and I'm just kind of holding it up to my pants pocket and furrowing my brow

ive seen huge ass phones before p sure i dont want that

lag∞n, Friday, 12 September 2014 20:40 (nine years ago) link

feel like I could sell my current phone and my ipad mini and just wear the 6+ in some sort of bandolier sling

because let's get real, that fucker isn't going to fit in my pants pocket

Bono would make a good Big Brother, only seen on Jumbotron screens.

like this only an iPhone instead of a camera that costs as much as a nice car

lol at all the people wondering how a 6+ is going to fit in their pockets. I've got an LG G2 with a 5.2" diag display and it fits in my pocket just fine. It's so thin it's even less noticeable than an older iPhone. A larger smartphone isn't the size of a compact car, ffs.

Think it's finally time to bring cargo shorts back in style >:)

sometimes my iPhone 5 ends up sideways in my pocket anyway, which really sucks.

FKATlovestoFU better (Spottie), Friday, 12 September 2014 21:05 (nine years ago) link

A word of warning, though. It will take time for your hand to adjust to the larger size. However, when you go back to do anything on your 4 or 5, it will feel like a child's toy.

By "time," I mean about 24 hours.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 12 September 2014 21:07 (nine years ago) link

just went into an apple store for first and last time if zombies could also be lunatics then that is what it was like dropped 1500 bucks of other ppls money tho

fuck it, ordered a 6, I can return it if I try it for a week and think it's just unacceptably large somehow

4 million preorders for 6 and 6+, but they don't break down preorders between the two

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link

6+ looks hueg in people's hands in the media pics I've seen so far

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link

They didn't break down numbers for the 5s/5c either and then it turned out nobody wanted the 5c xp

, Monday, 15 September 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link

The 6+ was harder to order, but they might have made like 1/5 as many for all we know.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:33 (nine years ago) link

feel like the 6 will be more popular, def seen way more android devices that size than lol huge phablets, tho obvs there all sorts particular reasons re pricing and marketing that cld be true for android and not apple

lag∞n, Monday, 15 September 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link

people look very funny talking on phablets and no one has seen these phones in the wild yet

lag∞n, Monday, 15 September 2014 17:37 (nine years ago) link

wld assume iphone owners are much less likely to use their phone as their primary/only device than andriod users and therefor less likely to need a phablet

lag∞n, Monday, 15 September 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link

I'm kind of attracted to the big lunk for two reasons 1) might be just big enough to read comics on 2) more room for virtual keyboards and fretboards on my synth apps

Rand McNulty (Jon Lewis), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link

All true but this is also up from 2 million preorders for the 5 so seems pretty good for Apple overall no matter what the breakdown is

Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:39 (nine years ago) link

vid accompanying this article shows a woman holding the phones and the 6+ looks gargantuan on her imo

This problem will be solved by the iWatch 2 which will turn your pinky and thumb into a handset.

sry meant to C&P different comment made my dumb joke even worse

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 15 September 2014 17:42 (nine years ago) link

1) might be just big enough to read comics
was thinking about this - may justify my continued Marvel Unlimited sub

Nhex, Monday, 15 September 2014 18:04 (nine years ago) link

5c's gonna do better this year than last year in the US as the free-on-contract phone imo

Spirit of Match Game '76 (silby), Monday, 15 September 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link

ya 5c was never in competition w the 5s it was the replacement for the year-old phone

lag∞n, Monday, 15 September 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link

was hoping this year theyd have like 6, 6c, and 6x instead of the new, year old, and two year old phones cause itd be cool to have three diff new designs but i guess the upsizing ruined that plan

i'm pretty good with the whole "last year's phone being the discount phone" option, there's too many damn phones out there as it is
