I'd just pay for the whole thing up front. Getting a plain 6 would be $100 cheaper across all price points than the S versions. Force touch is cool and all but the only things that would really swing me towards the S would be better battery life and the 12 MP camera.
Yes. I think the entire suite of Google apps works wonderfully in iOS. Heavy user of GMAIL and Drive primarily.
Little known fact, if you currently have Verizon and a contract, you can still keep your contract. So you would pay the subsidized price for your phone.
I use Chrome and Gmail and they work perfectly on my 6+, there is no lag and have not experienced any issues.
Depending on the plan, subsidies aren't that great. I have AT&T (work pays for mine and have 3 other lines) and I do the next plan (full price/20 months, no interest) and they give you a $25 per month credit per line that you don't get with the subsidy so it actually was cheaper doing the next plan.AcerFC said:
Agreed, b/c i think a different type of input device besides your finger kind of goes hand in hand with this sized tablet.[icon] said:At that price point, the stylusencil should be included.
For all the "jobs said stylus is a failure" crowd, I agree 100% when talking about UI. This isn't designed for that. The stylus (and to some extent, the iPad Pro itself) is aimed squarely at the creative market to replace products like the Adonit Jot Touch. The pixel precision accuracy of the stylus would be handy as hell for artists/illustrators/designers/architects/etc.
I could see these being huge in the medical field. A buddy who's family owns 3 pediatric clinics was searching for exactly this and WANTED to use iPads last year but they were just too small. They ended up with 13" Lenovo tablet/laptop hybrids for their staff. He commented after the launch that they would likely be moving to these after next upgrade cycle in 2-3 years. I suspect that's going to be somewhat commonplace.
I think this is one case where the "pro" is not just a moniker. I think this is intended to be somewhat of a niche/cache product Primarily designed for the professional market, and is priced accordingly.
My .02
I have AT&T. I would much rather pay my plan + $299 for an iphone 6+s than 699 and still paying for the same plan.
Ok. Feel free to report back. When the 6/6+ came out the plans weren't the same. I and a few guys in here looked into the options. For me, it meant I pay a net $15 per month for the 128gb 6+ whicg is less than the $499 subsidy. The 6 I got for my wife was I think a little less than the $25 per month you had to pay for staying on the 2 year contracts.
You can still keep your grandfathered unlimited.

I was only seeing the $100 price difference. Where did you see $200?Aaron Rudnicki said:
[icon]'s list is good...I always look at it as being worth it. Especially if you wait 2 years between upgrades. I know that by the time I get to the end of my 2 years with any iPhone, it's usually starting to get slower and slower as technology catches up to hardware. I would be fine with a 6 right now...but in 2 years, when there's about to be a 7S, I'd feel pretty behind the times still toting a 6.Aaron Rudnicki said:
I have to buy using AT&T Next.
Two friends and I have given up on TouchID completely. And, yes, we've tried re-doing the print and putting in multiples. So, for me, this would be a big selling point.
I saw a report yesterday while researching that said the new phones will have 2GB of RAM compared to 1GB in all earlier phones. That seems like a big upgrade as well.
That's odd. I actually have odd fingerprints that are very tough to scan (was once booked by Memphis PD and they could not get a clean scan of multiple prints and finally gave up).... yet Touch ID works almost without exception for me.
Maybe it's a girl thing.
Seriously, I don't know the science behind it, but I assume there could be some "biological variation", i.e. how much heat in your fingertips.
RAM is one I missed.. good catch.
On my family plan a line is $15 (40-$25 credit) if I don't do the subsidized phone, $40 if I do buy a subsidized phone and 2 year contract.
Interesting. So the Next plan works out better? My wife and I are both up for new phones and I just assumed the Next thing was a way to screw you.
If I do the option with the credits, I don't get to keep the phone when I get a new one, right?
Even with cloud storage, most images/files are also stored or cached locally.
There is an option to trade it in at either 12 or 18 months and get a new model or keep it the whole 24 or 30 months and you own it.
I agree with this. I got a 6 plus 16gb thinking I would take advantage of onedrive and the like and not need more than 16gb. It was possible, but took a lot of monitoring, uploading (automatic but it does require remembering to open the app), and deleting. Didn't take long til I went with 64gb.
