New iphones today

Where I live they had lines around the outside of the store with people waiting in the early morning for iPhones. One guy even camped out the night before. Y'all got an iPhone? What's the big deal? Bigger screen? Woohoo? OohooW?

Did you hear about the Australian guy who was the first person to get an iPhone 6 and dropped it on live news when he was being interviewed? lolol

It's a big deal simply because it's the newest and best iPhone on the market.. If people can afford it and want to upgrade their device I don't see why people care. It's their money not yours.

You can subjectively look at anything people spend their money on and call it a waste of money, IMO people who spend money on video games are more idiotic than those who buy the latest iPhones.

I've always wanted to camp outside a store for fun, and she gets to do that, skip work, AND get paid a lot? I envy your cousin.

Soho had some Chinese mafia group of resellers all over on line.

Where I live there was a super short line for the ones that pre-ordered and the super long lines for those who didn't.

Currently got an Iphone 4S. Didn't even pay for it.
Will never buy an Iphone.

Dude people can see that I read their messages on whatsapp now, without me even opening the app. This update SUCKS. LF>IOS7 Downgrade.

[quote=Whimp]I bought iphone 6 plus and let me tell you. That sheet is ugly. I regret it Going back to my iphone 5s for now until Samsung Note 4 Edge comes out

I believe in android now. So time to switch [/quote]

wait... You bought an iPhone 6+ only to find out you don't like it? Don't you try to get some hands-on time before buying an $800 phone? or at least do some research?

OT: I like them a lot but they're priced way too high and the camera sticking out is just... ugh. I also hate the iOS 7/8 look so I'll stick with my iOS 6 iPhone 5 for a while.

Don't forget stupid enough to "Wave" their new iPhones.

Got the 6+ today. I've wanted a bigger screen for a long time but appreciated Apple's great integration with their other products as well as the jailbreak community. Those two things were keeping me from moving to an M8.

@icemage11 a Basiler after my own heart. I never stop using things until they're broken. Unfortunately, my SO is the exact opposite and will upgrade/update everything she has as soon as she can. Such is life. (That felt good to say "such is life" in a comment on an online forum. I can only imagine how good it would feel if I could pull it off in a real-life conversation.)

I don't get it either but whatever floats their boat. I'm sticking to my iPhone 5 until it becomes unusable.

No way. No more iPhones. After I got my 5S last year, I realized how over hyped it is.
