iPhone 6/Plus, anyone?

A 4s with iOS7 will be noticeably slower, but not really unbearably so.

I'm actually much more interested in Apple Pay, and the Apple Watch. Right now the watch doesn't seem to offer much more than what smartphone can do now, but it's better in the sense that more things will be automated, and functionality is better exposed.

Instead of digging in your pocket, opening maps, finding a location, and looking back and forth at your phone to navigate there, the watch allows just raising your wrist, asking with voice to get directions somewhere, and then not even having to look at the watch to navigate there because apparently the thing vibrates uniquely for right or left turns. They also talked about things like third-party apps allowing users to open their hotel doors with just their watch, which was like opening them with NFC on a phone, just a lot easier.

Smart watches, like phones are only going to get thinner and lighter, with longer lasting batteries, so I'm looking to see if the category takes off like smartphones have.


EDIT:
I have no songs on my phone... I stream pretty much everything at the moment.

I have around 60gb of songs lol, and I wanna throw them all in. I realized I don't have that much room eventually, so I only picked my favorites from my playlist lol. For the same reason, when I get the Samsung S5, I might get the 128GB. It should last me for a very long time lol..

Actually I won't be surprised if we see 500gb, or even 1TB, 2TB memory in phones in the future, but probably should cap around there..although 1-2TB is actually really pushing it for the point of its worth.

On S5 I am pretty sure you can add your own memory card. Increasing the memory substantially my Cousin in law say.. I don't know for sure I have the Iphone 5 and I am sticking to it. The Iphone 6 looks ugly to me with that white stripe on the back.

They should make it so you can plug your flash stick into the phone, and have slots for memory cards that do not require you to open the case first to change them.

I will get myself an iPhone 6 plus in 3 months when I am eligible for an upgrade (I have the Next 12 with AT&T).

I got the s5 today and so far is quite satisfied with it. hope it only gets better and not less

iPhone 6/Plus, anyone?..nope not me. I don't text or use any sort of "social media".

I just don't need one. My wife has some sort of iphone that she only turns on when she leaves our home.

I am no fan of iPhone either. In fact, I hate iPhone (just my personal opinion). iPhone is one of the most expensive cell phone on market today which ranges from $500 - $1,000 (price in Cambodia) but it has too many restrictions. When users want to install something not allowed by Apple, they'll need something called Jail-Break. I'll be frustrated if I buy a one-thousand dollar phone and use it like a thief! I'd rather go for Android but never the latest released for cheaper price. Products from 1 or 2 years ago are fine for me as long as they can do what I want them to.

You're using 4S too eh? Isn't it annoying how IOS7 is making the phone so slow now?

LOL, I made that mistake with my iPod Touch when upgrading to iOS 6. Learned my lesson and never upgraded again.

iPhone sucks now. The only remaining attraction is the fact that the iOS app store has better apps, but android is quickly catching up. I have a galaxy S3 and vastly prefer it over my wife's iPhone 4S.

Yeah, that's my biggest beef with iOS products. You cannot actually backup your photos to your devices, you can only "sync" it, which means that you cannot transfer the photos out of those devices onto another computer. Essentially, you are forced to keep duplicate files on your device, and those duplicate cannot even be considered as backups since they cannot be manipulated as normal files.

It's a pretty retarded design.

Problem is that I have a iMac, iPad and iPhone

When I take a picture on my phone it uploads to all my devices back at home (I work away from home) so that is very handy

Also if my wife takes pictures on the iPad at home I get them on photostream on my iPhone you don't have to send them it's great to see pics of my son taken during the day when I get back home

The problem part is that if I change to samsung I loose all this photo streaming stuff and then my devices are not integrated and basically not using the full potential of the apple devices

So I am stuck with Apple now or should I say I've been taken in by their marketing strategy! Very naughty of them
