[Les Bain]

[Swisha]

I don't think Apple was really competing for the biggest screen though. But expect that sort of thinking from an Android user.

[Les Bain]

What is the average life span of an iPhone? I'm 1 year into this iPhone 5 and I go save up for a 6 when this conk out.

[subie_2NR]

My iPhone 5 going on 2yrs and I'm having battery problems. I'll buy the 6 in November when I visit Ft Lauderdale

yuh touch that button?

[M_2NR]

I actually wanna see how Android L will be after seeing what to expect of iOS 8. I must say though, Apple really knows how to put software and hardware together. The way the Watch is being implemented is superb! I can't wait to see it in action with the crown and touch sensitivity and it's battery life. From the demos the screen is rendered in really high in resolution, much higher than that of the current watches. Android has a good way to go to match the software. Far, Far, more in the hardware aspect also.

However, coupling a 799+350(assuming one takes the 64GB iPhone 6 and most basic watch) price tag is not something the average consumer who is concern of his/her spending will likely dive for (note i said average, /not/ spendthrift). I'm fine with spending sub-$400 for a phone until battery life is addressed in modern day phones.

Plus, why no OIS on the basic i6? anyone can tell me? just to differentiate the plus from the basic?

how long after do the unlocked versions go up for sale on the online Apple store again?

[wheelbarrow]

I must admit, the watch is nice. Disappointed that they didn't do waterproofing on the phones tho.

[Swisha]

The iPad and MacBook updates are announced at a separate event

I bought my unlocked 5s the same day it launched in the US last year via the online apple store. Any iPhone purchased at full price is unlocked.

[Swisha]

Cool. Only seeing the contract free T-Mobile version available for preorder

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

They only use the terms "contract free" but hardly use terms like "unlocked". That caused a lot of confusion last year as well. Contract free is what I bought. Worked without a hitch.

u bought the contract free T-Mobile version and didn't have any problems activating it and using it with a local sim?

the t-mobile is GSM with these frequencies:



Model A1549 (GSM)*
Model A1522 (GSM)*

UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29)



so it will work here

[Swisha]

yeah but i read that some ppl were saying even though it's "contract free" it's still locked to T-Mobile and would require activation through T-Mobile since it comes with a T-Mobile sim

from Apple's site:

Learn more about the unlocked iPhone >

If you buy iPhone for T-Mobile, it will arrive with a nano-SIM card already installed that you can activate by visiting an Apple Retail Store or a T-Mobile store or by calling T-Mobile. If you buy a SIM-free iPhone, you will need to purchase a GSM-compatible nano-SIM card separately.

FYI- I have an iPhone 5S and have had the iPhone 5, 4s and 4 and 3 , have also had Samsung phones, the screen and clarity on the Samsung note is really hard to beat. Plus being able to draw on your screen has its advantages.

Don't listen to the naysayers. Too many people have purchased and successfully used the contract free tmobile 5s. Mine came with a sim as well.

ok cool, good to know

[src1983]

I know this has been discussed before, but can I preorder an iPhone 6 using my Scotia CC any skybox address??

[nemisis]

I know this has been discussed before, but can I preorder an iPhone 6 using my Scotia CC any skybox address??

How much you planning on paying to clear it if it goes through???

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

Not the safest bet. Apple has been known to cancel orders to some skybox addresses. They cancelled an order to my Transexpress address for some piece of hardware I ordered. I think others have sucessfully had items shipped to their skyboxes so it seems to depend on which company you with.
