iphone 6 and iphone 6 plus

While I'm not an Apple fan I think they've made a good decision here. One thing Apple has failed to see in the past is some like it big some like it small and having two options should hopefully increase their sales while keeping both sides happy.

I still think they need a cheap iphone and no the iphone c is not cheap. If apple had something with the price equivalent of a cheap or middle android phone people wouldn't have the issue of wanting an iphone but having to settle for android because they couldn't afford the premium price. I think if Apple did that they'd gain a lot more of the market share and they already have a lot.

As to the iWatch not sure yet. It looks nice but will have to see how its used in general as a lot of the watches currently have had problems in their day to day usage. Does anyone know how long a charge is estimated to last?

I doubt we will see a "cheap" iPhone. Apple is all about making premium products and they do very well at that - They are competing against the higher end up phones from the other companies (Android etc).

both iphone6 and watch look nice but dont feel thrilled enough to go buy them

Why would people buy the iWatch? I mean, everything on the iWatch you can pretty much get on your iPhone/iPad - the only thing really is the size? So why would you need an iWatch if you carry your iPhone around with you everywhere?

Someone that wants to buy the watch, please explain.

I want that iWatch

[e5]

Wow, the size difference between a 5s and the 6 plus !!

Prices aren't too bad... staring at £539 for the iPhone 6 (Which is cheaper than the previous phones) and £619 for the iPhone 6+. Although I can't decide which one to get. Part of me wants the biggest and the better one, although, will it be practical? Will it be too big? Got to think that I carry it around in my pocket most of the time too.

Why are you guys waiting I'm pre-ordering mine

- Health tracking, monitors your health, steps, exercise and heart rate.

- Easy glance notifications, not having to take your phone out every minute to see who texts you.

- Taptic vibrations, the digital touch is a pretty great idea, the fact you could tap the screen and your friend would feel and receive the same taps you created.

Well it's debatable how well they do it. The problem is a lot of people find iphones too expensive. Samsung has gotten where it is because of its variety but admittedly it has went a bit over the top and has too many phones confusing people about which to get.

I'm certainly not suggesting apple do a Samsung but having a couple of key phones would work well. If apple had a top end phone and a bottom end phone they could tap both ends of the market, especially in foreign countries such as third world countries where cost is a big thing. If they then added a middle rang phone they'd basically have the market covered. Obviously not everyone would buy them but they'd have more chance as I know lots of people who would buy an iphone but can't due to costs.
