Jesus Of Suburbia Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 So I went to Verizon and I ordered a gold 6 Plus. After seeing it in the store I loved the larger screen and I know Apple Pay will be a nice feature to have, plus the fingerprint scanner will be nice since I have a regular 5 and never got to use it. I feel like this will be a better upgrade going from a 5 to a 6 rather than when I went from a 4 to a 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdtg Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've got a 4s in great condition for the age but I did replace the screen about a year ago. Any idea if VZW will still give me a $200 credit still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 What's all of this hullabaloo about the 6 being easily bent out of shape while in pockets and such? Edit.Found it. http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/tech/2014/09/24/mxp-iphone-6-plus-bend-test.hln.html Well of course it's going to bend if you bend it like that asshole in the video...Is this supposed to be news? I could do the same thing to my 5s and I can guarantee it would either bend, or the screen would break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Back pockets though. From people sitting on their phones. I saw an article on cnet that claimed both front and back pockets were causing the bending. I (accidentally) sit on my phone all the time, as do many others. I don't have any issue with my S4 bending lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that if people are sitting on their phones...it would explain why they're bending. Maybe folks should get some looser pants if they're bending in their front pockets. Besides, stuff can only get so thin and so light before you have these kind of problems. It's a trade off. People are getting mad because they have to be gentle and treat an expensive piece of equipment with care? That's just bullshit to me.

Shitty Rambo Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The little lady has had a couple days with her 6 and is really liking it. I'm admittedly impressed with the new design, it looks a lot more sleek and higher end. I'd still never use an iPhone, but Apple did a good job with this device (the 6 at least, I saw a + in store and was horrified by the gigantic bezel. Godspeed to those who actually WANT to lug that thing around). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always keep my phone in my back pocket, that'll probably have to change. Does anyone know if there's a 6 case yet that like a case + wallet? Similar to the BookBook type case I guess a 6 BookBook case is in the works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Up until this whole bent phone thing I never would've imagined that anyone would keep their phone in their back pocket. It seems insane to repeatedly sit on a delicate piece of technology worth hundreds of dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgato48 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I only keep my phone in my back pocket. My pockets are individually assigned. Front left wallet. Front right keys. Back left phone. Back right miscellaneous. Yeah I'm weird I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aych Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I'd been wanting a new phone for a while, and decided a few weeks back that I was gonna get a 6, but for some reason I didn't pre-order it. So, earlier today, I went into my town's T-Mobile store to ask if I could order a 16gb grey 6, assuming they'd be completely out of stock. As it turns out, they had actually just gotten their shipment of that exact model the day before. I went for the $50 per month plan, traded in my 4S for $201 (a whopping $1 more than Verizon offered), put down an extra $300 to reduce my payments, and got a case and some shitty screen protectors for it. Not half bad, considering I thought it was going to be at least another two or three weeks before I would have it in my hand. Also, make sure to ask the people who work at the phone store to put the screen protector on for you, unless you know you're good at it. Learn from my mistakes.

Team Avatar Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I got the six and I love what it feels like. Battery isn't anything amazing. still have a perfect condition five. not gonna use a case until i scratch it. the camera is cool. i hate how the apps have yet to upload better versions so the font isn't enlarged. some bugs.
