Sure, always get the ones with the pocket in the front for storing a few dingers on a night out
After Christmas sales will go into a tailspin. It's all Android from January to early September. The only thing I see worth any news will be the Apple watch. Not that it's good but just because of the Apple logo.
Now back to my Note 4 and Gear VR.
You're brave to write that here
----------
If you're waiting for a 4K iPhone you might as well get the 6 because your contract will expire by the time the iPhone 7 is released.
What do you want? Availability of iPhones or human rights for workers of Apple suppliers?
I"M SO CONFUSED!!!!
Availability.
I think the 5s would be better for a mini. I held my old one after using the 6 and its very comfortable. Would love to see apple have three phone sizes.
Most likely not a grammar error, but bad editing. Someone wrote "Apple has caught up", decided it should be "Apple catches up" and left the "has" by mistake.
It is easly possible for "demand to outstrip supply."
This is the other side of the same coin as supply can't keep up with demand.
Both accurately describe the exact same situation. Neither is a lie but both place emphasis on a different parts of the issue. First one leads one to think demand is the culprit the second paints supply as the culprit. First one leads the reader to conclude some thing positive about popularity while avoiding questions about why supply was ever allowed to be so constrained.
So a quote in and of itself, when stripped of context, is easy to misinterpret or to be designed to lead the reader to a certain conclusion.
What is, in this case, better to understand is what are the constraining factors, and whether these exist due to conscious decisions or unplanned events.
Now I return to an item I only saw briefly reported on, namely the reported storage memory problem issue with apple's Triple Level Cell design. This was said to be new to them, only used on my the 64 and 128 GB phones, and defective to such a degree that it was going to be changed in production.
Soon after this report emerged, supplies of 64 and 128 GB units all but dried up in N. America and W. Europe. (This coincided with the launch of the product into other regional markets like China, itself somewhat delayed this year due to late approvals from the government there.)
In Western Europe, supply is so constrained that about the only channel with immediate delivery is the Apple Store (physical) itself and then supply is at a trickle. Almost all other channels have weeks-long waits if it is not a 16 GB model being purchased.
So what I would reall like to see is whether Apple has solved the rumored TLC issue and if so why supplies are still so constrained.

Still waiting for iPhone 6 Mini
You mean the iPhone 6 minus with 4" Retina Display?
That's because that's the design they settled for for now.
Wait 9 months and the real iPhone 6/6+ come out.
With 2GB of RAM, maybe no protruding lens, better hardware overall, maybe more MP (no, MP aren't inherently bad, they can serve very sensible needs, you can't "foot zoom" everything), H.265 system-wide (oh Apple... Less bitrate doesn't just mean better streaming, it also means less disk space needed, something my iTunes library needs more of and certainly my highly limited iOS devices), ...
I myself decided to wait for the next model, this year's offering didn't convince me as a whole.
Good for everyone who's satisfied, all power to you.
