I want one. And I don't want to break my camera either.
But I might do some break dancing.
So why does the Safari browser allow so many tabs if we're not actually 'allowed' to use them? Why does my iPhone offer multitasking if I'm supposed to make sure all other apps and Safari tabs are closed? It's either a smartphone 'computer in a pocket', or it isn't. I can use a 2-year old Android phone in a manner that I can't use an iPhone 6? RAM solves this problem and it's cheap as chips. Oh and the other area where your argument falls down is that you state we should be using a different device. Ah, so you mean an iPad with the same 1GB of RAM?
Yes! And that's why I like it. I would get the silver but the sensor and speaker don't look aligned very well, but you can see the sensor with the space grey so it just looks like an iPhone 4.
To the haters, I know the antenna lines on the back are different, but How many of you spend so much time looking a the back of your phone? The screen is what counts and apple got that part right. And if you care so much what other people think of you when your holding the phone to your ear, you have way more problems than the lines on the phone.
I would have preferred the glass panels at the top and bottom myself but I am OK with the back panel, I slap a case on my phone anyway.
Apple made 2 mistakes in my opinion, they should have ditched the 16gb in favor of keeping 32gb as the $199 option and the 4.7 should have the same optical stabilization.
I'm gonna have a hard time deciding between the 4.7 and the 5.5 due to the better camera...

you paid for a premium price for an apple device. you'd expect a premium design. You take the beautiful design out of apple and what do you have? An overpriced samsung galaxy. It's the core of apple, steve jobs knew that and that's why he stressed design so much. So yes the lines do matter.
Yes, Cook; you are right. People, including myself, will be upgrading their iPhone 4s to the Free iPhone 5c
the 5c is a nice free upgrade form the 4S. Phones are trending larger, you will need to get one at somepoint anyway and learn to live with it. Apple followed the numbers and the highest percentage of phones sold last year were over 4 inches...
It is a little disappointing that the 5.5 doesn't have better layout of apps, ie 5 app row dock. 5 app dock fits great on the corrent iPhone and with the new larger sizes there is no reason this shouldn't be standard on the 6+. I also am discouraged by the images on Apple's site, they let you compare the current iPhone to the 6/6+ but the screen images are just blown up and are not displaying more content, I really hope this is not the real case.
That is what Apple fanboys told about the 3.5" then 4" screens. That is what they said about NFC. That is what they said about everything else that Apple lacked till Apple gave it to them. No wonder SJ thought customers do not know what they want until we gave them. Only problem is now they are being given those by others..
Sure I like their Apple pay initiative.
I like their iPhone 6.
Not so much their Apple watch but it might sell in droves, not because it is the best but because its customers are loyal. Good for Apple not so much for the customers..
The lines are not bad. Steve's obsession led to the antenna issues of the iphone 4. I bet the 6s lines will be thinner. This design is not going away. I think they should have tinted the lines to closer match the color of the phone, the white lines on the gold look the worst, but I like the Space Grey version. I have always used a case and that is not gonna change so the case eliminates the lines and the camera sticking out for me. I am gonna upgrade no matter what. new upgrade every 10 months as a Verizon business customer. cannot beat it!
Yeah it doesn't make sense at all. Apple started selling 5.5 inch phones before Samsung. Yeah it doesn't at all.
The apple watch is the best one in the market...in terms of what it can do and the look of it. All other smart watches look terrible in real life and have half the functionality or less.
Hmmm... why don't you just pretend the 16GB model doesn't exist, and that the base model just costs $100 more.
I would've liked thinner lines personally. the people griping about the 4 were just annoying because I never experienced any problems with that phone. I thought the hoopla was overblown.
In either case, I wish they could've made it more like a small iPad TBQH. I think the antenna design would've done over better if they made the new iPhone 6 design closer to that of the iPads with the antenna at the top.
Yea I liked one of the concepts where there's no lines just glass on top and bottom. Steve Jobs obsession with design was what made the iphone so great. And yea that's exactly my thought. I don't know why they couldn't just paint the lines the same color and the loose panel from top and bottom a different color. It'll look much nicer. But since I still have an iphone 4 and it's just unusable after the whole ios 7 fiasco, I'd have to get the 6, maybe the silver...
I am die hard Apple all the way, but eliminating the 32gb slot and keeping 16gb as the low end was low. Period. I was planning on buying 32 gb anyway. 32 is what I need - for 3 phones.
I thought there would be a 16gb, but I was planning on buying the second level. Even though this is working out better for me.. getting 64 for the 32gb price, I just think that keeping 16gb around was a low blow. It makes no sense.
