My sources have confirmed that the 5.5" Disney exist...

Interesting isn't it.
How bit by bit, the nearer and near we are getting to launch, what's NOT going to be seen.
No Sapphire screen
Lack of 5.5" info
It's leaking more and more to quash expectations of what may be announced.
Funny that isn't it.
One could almost feel like someone is deliberately manipulating expectations
They must have read your post and quickly instructed the WSJ to release some further "controlled leaks".

Oh no, If you mentally stand back and what the leaks over the past few weeks, couple of months, you can see a gentle movement in expectation manipulation going on, that will be shaped more as we get to the say or the unveiling.
I don't believe for one moment Apple are stupid enough to ignore customer expectations. If they know, because someone said something and they new has spread and is now at high expectation levels, and Apple know the, whatever is is, it not ready for launch, but thousands are expecting it, there will be some pre launch media manipulation to quash something big that's not happening.
You don't want the world at your show with a strong expectation, and they all come away disappointed.
Denmark is certainly an odd omission.
Poor Denmark, even Borat's homeland of Kazakhstan has an Apple Store!? I kid I kid.

IMO that depends on the severity of the criticism. If a "friend" simply pokes occasional fun of you, or chides you, then it's harmless. Just ignore their uninformed views. In fact, married couples do this ALL the time. My Dad always complains and criticizes my Mom for preferring to watch those sappy "soaps" on TV, etc. Like a typical man, he prefers more masculine shows. Does that mean such relationships are doomed? Well they've been married for over 35 years.
Now, if the criticism is on the level of the other person UNABLE to accept your choice, then it's time to break off the relationship/friendship.
If the so-called friend was on a crusade to try to convert me to Windows/Android and repeatedly telling me to abandon the "deviant" practice of being an inferior Apple/Mac/iOS user . then that is not a friend worth keeping.
I'm glad to know that you have your finger on the pulse of the MI space and can definitively define us a "small subset".
Or we could both cease threadjacking and discuss something actually related to the OP.
It's kind of related to the original thread, which is, if you're going to post a claim like absolutely parity and purely a "personal preference", then actually be prepared to backup your bs and talking out of your ass. Quite clearly you don't know what your talking about, so why post it?
...still waiting for those pro audio android links. Can't find any? Oh ya, it doesn't matter because it's a small market -- according to the "expert". My bet is that there are other "small subset" markets that can only use ios for a tablet/phone hardware choice, but will not pretend to post about those other markets because I have no first hand knowledge about it (which is actually different than "anecdotal evidence"), another concept you fail to grasp.
...but by all means keep on posting out of your ass and contributing zero to the discussion. Have fun!

Think you need cooler friends!

But let's no forget the REAL purpose of those thick ugly rubber bands on the back of the iPhone 6 chassis. Wait for it.......
WATER PROOOF!!!
Did you not see where I said you win? Why are you continuing down this road? Can't you be a gracious winner and drop it? Just to reiterate for you. Musicians were the topic of my original post. Since the vast majority of iOS users are musicians, my premise that iOS and Android have reached parity is patently wrong. You are right. I searched and searched the internet and couldn't find one reference to a musician using Android. Right again for you. Congrats. I severely underestimated the forcefulness of your argument and the compelling nature of your narrative. -iamthinking: that's a totally apropos name. You should be proud.
Gonna go rest my butt cheeks now. Ass is tired of typing.
I think what you're seeing is the press back-pedalling without any help from Apple. They've pushed this idea of the 5.5-inch phone for months, and now that September is almost here, they're thinking that they could be wrong. So rather than just admit that they got it wrong they'll do the usual: blame its non-appearance on 'manufacturing difficulties' or 'supply constraints'.
I maybe in the minority but I never get first generation anything! 5s guy!Soooooo!!!
EVERYBODY LISTEN!!!!!!!
Please get all the bugs out for me!!! Thank you for your service! 2nd is for me!!!
Yeah I'm also a 5S guy. Though the bigger iPhone might tempt me for an early upgrade this time around
I previously owned an 4S then switched to Android (Galaxy Note II, S4(stolen), now HTC M8), I didn't like the smaller screen on the 5/5S also the typing experience due the right screen size and gesture assisted typing (swype) kept me at the Android realm at least on phone, coz on tablet Android tablets are far away the iPad, on Android I learned that Phablet are good for gaming, watching movies, and pull down your pants, but the s4 and m8 are perfect in size for typing, watch videos and occasional gaming too, but Android os it's anarchy, software quality sucks, device vendor's decide when your hardware it's obsolete (typically 2 year after launched) and don't update it, etc etc.Yeah I'm also a 5S guy.

I'm waiting the new iPhone 6 to switch back again it have every feature why I moved to Android.
I used android for an year. First six months it performed well. Then performance drop was dramatic to say the least. Switched to 5S. Been 8 months. Loaded to brim with apps. No signs of performance drop. Still going strong. The only down side is you have to pay a premium price. But the experience is worth it. Got an iPad Air. A joy. No problems yet. I think I can use them for another 2 years at least . iPad battery life is awesome to say the least. And the feeling that you have THE iPhone is priceless. It's not just plain marketing. Hell they have a product that's much better than competition.
Pretty much with you on that toppic...but my perception of "criticising" is with a negative / agressive tone....while mockery is great fun (if in a good spirit)...
3. was meant to be funny....you know...friends don't let friends do xyz
....anyway, a joke you have to explain is a bad joke...so I apologize for that one
