Poll: iPhone 6...

[Tatsuki]

I am going with the Slate this time, had white on the 5 and I think slate looks better this time on the 6.

 

[Chandler_90]

I have never bought anything like that in my entire 32 year existence.

 

[KIA]

DAT SHIRT.

 

[Fuggan]

Makes me nervous watching this payment process thing.

 

[Xinn]

What's the UK release?

They only mentioned usa?

It said UK and loads others for the 19th.

 

[IceBus]

No they don't the system over there from when I've been is the archaic old skool signing!

It's a weird mix of signing for stuff and then typing in your pin for debit cards. The main problem being they would probably struggle to roll out chip and pin here, let alone NFC systems...

 

[Maccy]

If iCloud was hacked recently, isn't the contact less payment thing going to store card details? What's to say that won't be hacked too?

Whenever I see Eddie Cue and his shirts, I picture his office being a haze of bong smoke.

 

[UberTiger]

I assume they dont have Chip and Pin in the US then?

It's not nearly as widely adopted as it his over here.

 

[Azza]

Why have they called it 'Plus' ? ... Why not just use a + symbol?

 

[Nexus]

They typically rely on signing, certainly doesn't take quite as long as that demo they showed though.

This is very much like what we already have in the UK with contactless payment, the key thing though is that presumably this would still only work for payment £20 and below. Thus its never really going to replace my wallet unless the banks allow upping the limit.

 

[Steedie]

6+ is too big for me, but cannot wait for the 6 after this.

 

[DIABLO]

well 16gb is pointless so i guess its 64 now

Thats exactly what Apple were hoping people would say, it stinks!

 

[sarge78]

I seem to be the only one who really likes the new design! Shame it's a bit too thin, more battery and no stickie outie camera (+OIS) would've made it perfect for this gen.

no choice......... :/

Check out the Sony Z3 compact. The physical size to battery ratio is almost perfect. (2600mAh battery in a 8.9mm/130g chassis)

 

[Raymond Lin]

Probably because some nitpicking people will debate whether it is call plus or add.

I have contactless payment in my cards now though!

Didnt realise the US was kinda backwards in this respect.

 

[Xinn]

Hopefully contact less payment of all kinds spreads faster as a result of this. I think only Greggs and McDonalds are the ones I've seen that accept it on the high street?

 

[DIABLO]

It is being rolled out very slowly but the vast majority still use signitures.

 

[McBain]

64GB it is then ..... time to bend over.

Yup, they don't have chip and pin in a lot of places even.
