7 days until Apple unveils the iPhone 6

[mr4wdTRD]

Does anyone have the physical dimensions of the 6 and 6+ compared to, say, the Note 3?

I'm curious, because the bezel looked large on these.

Nice, thanks man.

the 5.5" is fuking huge. dont think i realized it until i printed it off... LOL

still gettin it.

Anyways. Whoever isn't interested in the iPhone 6/6+ fuark off. All my iPhone people. Which phone y'all getting? I'm feeling the 6+ Gold 64GB.

I'm going with the 6 space gray 64GB. I wish they would of kept, or offered it in the size of the 5s. I'm probably going to get the watch too.

I think Apple should have just gone for it. Like, instead of going from 4.0 to 4.7/5.5, just go straight to one size- 7".

they did, the ipad mini.

actually i dont know the exact dimensions. but i think 5.5 is a good phablet size based on industry trends.

Its about almost the same size with Note 3, its easy to get used to it after a few days.
Its 7mm taller but its a bit narrower and thinner.

I bet you're not going back to smaller screen once you get used to it.

I think 5.5" is the perfect phablet size. But would have been lulzy to go from too small to suddenly massively too large with no option in-between.

After ~6 months with it, I seriously think I'm ready to go from "Phablet" back to just "Phone". The Note 3 is awesome, but 50% of the time I do wish it only had a 5" screen.

From gsmarena:

Note 3:
- 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm (5.95 x 3.12 x 0.33 in)
- 168 g (5.93 oz)

IP6+:
- 158.1 x 77.8 x 7.1 mm (6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 in)
- 172 g (6.07 oz)

Same size as other phablets.

is it worth preordering or do you think it will be easy enough to come by when it comes out

[NotSureIfCereal]

Perfect phone? Other than being very cheap, what does it have over a phone like the One M8? It would be a decent choice if the battery and camera weren't atrocious.

i prefer plain android, and don't plan on ever signing another contract, so 400 off contract is an excellent deal

and i use the wireless charging way more than i ever thought i would

How does wireless charging work? Like... can it charge while it's in your pocket across the room? Or a few miles away at work?

You really didnt get used to it? Well every person's preference is different but you're the only one so far who's going back to smaller one afaik.
Got my Note 2 2 yrs ago and 3 last year. I'll probably get the 4 so my Jump wont be wasted.

I bet its gonna be hell going to the store within the 1st few days. I heard people in NYC are already lining up as early as yesterday lol!

That should be the next tech that they have to research!
No, you have to put the phone on top of the wireless charging mat.

how about a smaller carrier like u.s. cellular. also with pre ordering do you pay up front first, and then get the phone or vice versa. reason I ask is because I get an employee discount

so its not really wireless. the mat needs to have power.

[LinuxJon]

This. I don't consider it wireless charging until I can just walk around and have my service provider charge it.

[jinda628]

Yeah, the mat needs to be plugged. Its just convenient when you usually sit on your PC desk and just put the phone on the mat and its already charging without the mess caused by wires. Its not as fast as charging wired though.

lmao.. figures. The Note series has been around for a while, and owners have been preaching how nice it is to have a phone with a 5.7" screen.. not surprisingly, all the Apple fanboys said "oh thats too big" or "does that even fit in your pocket bro?" and now that Apple makes them, it's the greatest idea ever.

Funny thing is.. the Note 3 is still a better phone. 6+ can't shoot 4K video, no external storage, no IR remote, no stylus, no etc etc.. and now the Note 4 is out. I guess it doesn't really matter when the past 2-3 generations of iPhones have been behind the competition and people still flock to them anyway.

I've gotten used to it, but I guess I also realize that I'm just more of a desktop computer person. I like my keyboard and mouse. Since I end up at my desk whenever possible, having a slightly smaller screen and a little more free space in my pockets seems worth it. Although, I realize most people don't even buy desktops anymore- so I'm a definite minority here.

[jinda628]

This. I don't consider it wireless charging until I can just walk around and have my service provider charge it.

I dont really see something special on it too so far. I've seen a commercial of a new car with its center console/storage working as a wireless charger though. That would be cool as we usually just put our phone in the cup holder or anywhere in the center console when driving. FOrgot what car it is.

[mr4wdTRD]

i mean its really no different than setting it down on a port on an ihome really. i dont understand why that would be a selling point.

go away. 4k on a phone is retarded. 99.99% chance you dont even own a 4k tv.

phones are a personal choice, just like buying clothes or a car. who the fuk are you to criticise?

tool

Lol yeah.

[Answer1o1]

So maybe the 5.5 is too big for a phone lol. I think 4.7 it is. 4.7 Gold 64GB

[mr4wdTRD]

stay salty brah

no ones salty, theyre sick of your superior attitude (android users) **** talking about how great they are because they're different.

news flash, no one cares but you, and you look like a fool talking **** on the internet.

[LinuxJon]

This is a good point.

I'm REALLY confused how the res on phones has got ahead of big screen TV's. That seems backward to me?

If the 4k isn't being recorded at a super high fps, don't brag about it. It's **** otherwise
