Poll: iPhone 6...
- Thread starter Spit
- Start date
As above the invites for the event have now gone out, interestingly it's at Flint Center for the Performing Arts rather than the usual Yerba Buena Center. So a higher capacity location than usual and also the location of the original Mac launch.

Things are quite fragmented, at the moment I think you would require a "wallet" provided by someone like a phone network to pay, or in the US somewhere that accepted Google Wallet.
Part of the interest in Apple doing is this is their historic end to end control of things, so it would likely tie straight to bank cards or in to iTunes - no messing with networks or other intermediaries.
Good timing with the US liability shift meaning merchants will likely be forced to move to EMV terminals (that will more than likely contain NFC tech) by next October.

They always live stream, you just need an OSX/iOS device.
Not always. In the past 1-2 years, there has been at least one event without a live stream. We've had to rely on live blogs.
Its usually been 1 or 2 weeks after the announcement for orders to be taken. Doubt it be any different this time round.

Ahh I guess, but I think I've seen all the past iPhone events live.
Also more proof that the bands are here to stay, still a great device but it looks bad from the back. Guess we need to see it in real life to pass proper judgement.

Looks nice, I still hate those line on the back.

Nice. I don't mind the lines on the back tbh, it's not something I'll spend a great deal of time looking at either!

Eurrrgghh it's all sounding very uninspired sadly.
No Apple Watch to buy until 2015, iPhone 6 with horrible bands, stick out camera, only 1GB of ram, old LTE chip, dual core still, expensive, low resolution screen, low capacity battery.

1GB ram really does suck, I'm getting tried of using my iPad since I can't web browser, switch to anything and come back to my website. Its getting very frustrating. Dual core is not an issue, my laptop is dual core and I'm super happy, nothing in iOS needs more then 2 cores. LTE chip is meh we don't really have LTE advance here and wont for awhile, if the screen isn't 1080p or close enough then that is disappointing, also hoping the 2100mha battery is true since thats a good jump up and should offer solid improvements.
Pretty lame that we still have 16GB as standard, storage prices are so much cheaper then compare to the 4s yet the iPhone has gotten more expensive ever year without fail and we have not seen any improvements here. Also 1GB is just meh, these things double in performance ever 2 years according to Moore's law which has been pretty true up till now, so it should be the same price for 2GB as it was for 1GB with the iPhone 5. Just reeks of Apple wanting more profit instead of offering users more hardware. Really hope the line moves to 32gb as standard but doubt it, or even more realistic storage bumps, i mean 256 SSD now cost £80, no way you pay the same for 16gb extra flash storage.

Will you use more than 16GB, I use iTunes match and I rarely use more than 10Gb with apps. I think apple have given the internet a true use, with apps in the cloud etc. Im payg anyway, would never dream of buying a 64GB iPhone knowing it will all start again in 12 months.
Went to Prague last month so smashed my screen big time so waiting for "Fall" for the next model. Self convinced a bigger screen will be a good thing. "come on Jony!!!" (Who's brother is a semi local in my pub)
Opo sucks compared to iPhone 6 anyway
My 64gig iphone 5 is full. Mainly with music. I would like to see a 128gig one for the same price. Think I read somewhere Apple might be getting into higher resolution music so larger capacity devices would be sensible.

Cloud is all well and good as long as you have a phone signal. Not a problem in much of the UK, but there are many parts of the world where a stable 3g/4g connection is not guaranteed. For example, much of Australia outside of the cities has no mobile phone coverage at all. Im sure that the USA is much the same.
Look rather large for a 4.7" phone - http://cdn03.androidauthority.net/w...ng-Galaxy-S5-4K-Video-YouT-001606-710x383.jpg
GS5 is 5.1" and its chassis is already larger than it could be.
