Anyone buying an iPhone 6?

[xondat]

So my MX Master from Logitech has a button on the bottom that I can press, and it switch devices instantly.

I'd like to see this happen with headphones.

I'm currently using a HHKB BT with my MX Master. I also have wired headphones, and I haven't seen any high end headphones that are wireless. The worse thing about my desk is this stupid wire. I want to be able to switch between my phone, my laptop, and my PC perhaps with one button press. I won't have to reach behind my PC, unplug the headphones, and plug them back in.

The cable is also something that usually breaks first in earphones, and they're a nuisance when they get tangled, or stuck on something etc. So why not force companies to start making more wireless headphones/earphones? The companies won't have to, but if they have the best, then there will be lots of sales and innovation.

People will hate because it's Apple, and there isn't much you can do about that. But what we can do is wait and see how it pans out. I think it's worth it.

Throwing it out there, it does take courage. They used it in the wrong way, but it absolutely does.

I like what you wrote there and you are absolutely right. This change is for the better and with Siri being the future UI, who cares about wires?

prolly want to get a dac though, cuz now you're gonna be on a higher noise floor from the denser traces in the area

I have an HTC One M8 that is still going, at least for now. Part of me wants to upgrade, but $869 is a tough pill to swallow (Jet Black 128GB) for something that I'm not really using all of the time. I'd much rather be in front of a computer for consuming media.

I don't mind the removal of the headphone jack. There are plenty of decent bluetooth headphones for every day use that do not cost an arm and a leg (original Jaybird Bluebuds are $79 at Walmart) - I've been using Powerbeats 2 for a while and don't miss the headphone jack. Using high end headphones with something like an iPhone seems a bit unfounded... I have Sennheiser 598's that I have never wanted to plug into my phone.

[WarCommand]

I might be the only person in the world who upgraded from a 6 to an SE by choice, and I'm still stoked on how compact it is.

That glossy back on the jet black 7 is gnarly.

[noisyturtle]

yeah but if it were literally 1mm thicker they would have been able to fit a jack in there, it's an extremely cheap part costing only cents on the dollar and it wouldn't alienate half of your consumer base.

[noisyturtle]

And comparing the headphone jack to floppy drives is inane. 3.5mm jacks are the sound standard across the world for the best sounding and most available technology and Apple is abandoning a world standard for their proprietary technology that doesn't even sound as good. There's nothing cool or good about this move, it is a clear money grab in every sense.

Agreed.  And I'll leave this here.

How many people on keyboard forums are clamoring for wireless keyboards?

There is a place and a niche, but it is not the mainstream.

One the other hand, your phone could be a hotspot and you could have a party if everybody could tune in to the same music.

Jet Black iPhone 7+ models already pushed back to November  )

Hilarious!  Another one for you:

[vivalarevolución]

The price of these phones is f-ing insanity.  Not interested.

[katushkin]

I'm going to get one as soon as they come back into stock in the UK  ) I'm using an iPhone 5 with a huge crack on the screen and screen burn from my overheating battery, so I really desperately need one

I'm looking at getting one in November ish SIM free on the Apple Upgrade plan. I have a good SIM only deal and I save over £300 doing it this way as opposed to getting it on contract with a major UK carrier.

128gb gold 7 plus plz.

[dgneo]

Wifey just ordered the 128gb 7 Plus in Silver, definitely jelly. Need to wait to pay my phone off now as the home button is dead

The SE is very nice.  My son got one for his first cell phone and I like the design of the 5 with those slanted edges better than the rounded look of the 6.  But, yes, the jet black looks pretty sweet and I'm excited for the 7 Plus.

The sharp edges of the 5/SE >>> the curves of the 6. I prefer having nothing but a dbrand skin on my phones, and that 6 is pretty much begging to slip out of my hand when I hold it.

Still cheaper than Herr Freitag. Who's insane?

[katushkin]

Apparently the jet black scratches really really really easily.

[WarCommand]

I caught that; even at their keynote they basically said, "it's gonna scratch a lot, so if you don't like that, you can put a case on it."

[slip84]

The headphone jack thing doesn't really bother me either way.

I mean, after all, I'm still using a 5s.

But Tp4 has made too many enemies on the internet ..

I won't lie. The new high-end one has some nifty camera **** going on.

Tempted.

And the lack of a headphone port is like whatever.

You have an iPhone?  There's an assistive technology thing that you can turn on that puts a large dot on the screen that you can tap instead of the home button.

You'd never see Tp4 do this.

I did exactly that.

I love the form factor and design of the 5/SE, and it's got the same processor as the 6s.  What's not to love?    The battery also lasts farrr longer than my 6 battery did.

Dude, yes. I nixed the case I had too and opted for a full-coverage dbrand skin. Can't beat the form factor of the 5/SE, especially caseless. Love the rigid corners/edges.

Best case is the spigen neo hybrid for iphone 5/se

the blueblack one looks very svelte..  and preserves the edge styling, but it's all covered. It also fits really well with the glass screen cover, where the side bumper is just slightly taller than the glass cover after it's been installed..

Alot of the other cases fit the glass screen cover, but their surface rim bumper section is not thick enough to prevent the cover from touching flat surfaces when applied.

They got different colors, but the blueblack one looks most --slimming-- I don't want my fone to look fat..

Although now that my fone looks thin.. it makes TP4 look fat by comparison..

[WarCommand]

Spigen's stuff is well-made. The soft textured Ringke Slim for the SE is nicer IMO, but I prefer not having anything on there except a skin to protect from scratches, and a tempered glass screen protector. I've never dropped a phone (knock on wood) and I prefer the minimalist approach.

Spigen has a version of that slim case too..

But The reason I stopped using those 1 piece cover cases, is because they have a much more Limited ANGLE of protection against drops.


Many times, the one piece clipon cases would Pop off if you drop the phone..


So, imagine the scenario,  the phone is dropped, the case pops off, at this point, the phone is Still Airborne because it has bounced on the ground.

I like Spigen too but when I changed to the Neo Hybrid with Aluminium bumper corners, I feel that the aluminium screws up with the reception. I find that my wifi and 4G signals are not as strong as before. It could be an impression, not a science but I am much happier when I swap back to the Spigen Tough Armor.

None of the neo hybrid has aluminum.. Did you get a different brand or was it the back plate hard cover ?

Dropping the phone is a matter of Certainty..  Just a matter of time..

The case not popping off is the difference between protection and a cracked screen..

Oh, they don't make that one for iphone 5.. hahaha.. i were confused..


Well, yea, then get their Plastic one.. hahaha

Plastic offers better protection because it deforms more and faster to reduce the impulse force transferred to the phone.

I never dropped my 3GS (it actually lasted me through a ****ing war without breaking), then had a 5 for about 18 months and had dropped it a few times but never did any damage to it. One time I was in a car park and dropped my iPhone and didn't break it, said out loud; "I've dropped this so much and haven't cracked the screen once!" Not two minutes later, I dropped it onto the really rough, bumpy ****ty surface of the car park, and cracked the screen. I have been slowly ruining the phone ever since and it looks awful

I quite like the Tech21 Evo Mech case for the 7 Plus. Probably going to be the one I get.

For the case? Well to be fair it is a mesh...

[katushkin]

The home button is a lot cooler than I thought it would be.

It's like night and day going from a 5 to a 7 plus holy ****.

Loving the 7 Plus.  That's a huge screen upgrade for you, I even love the big difference from 6 to 7 Plus.  Only complaint is I asked our IT people for jet black and got matte black but that's ok, might be a blessing in disguise based on scratch proneness of jet black.

[HoffmanMyster]

5, not even a 5s?  So Touch ID is new for you?    That's a huge upgrade.  And the 6s Touch ID upgrade is sweet too, way faster and more reliable.

im an android fan and the iphone 7 just came out for anyone wanting to put themselves trough that test.
