Apple CEO Tim Cook: iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Will Trigger 'Mother of All Upgrades'

I think Cook is being optimistic. I'm on the fence about upgrading because I really don't want that big a phone. I like the current iPhone 5 size, yet I also want the NFC capabilities of the 6. I'll have to wait to actually hold one and see what I think.
Not even if he told you it would have the exact same amount of icons on screen, but your thumb would have to reach 2" further to touch them?

Going by the hands on reviews, it doesn't feel that big in hand, and it's super light too, wanting one falls down personal preference, i don't mind owning the iPhone 6 plus, i always wanted a phone that big coming from Apple.
Samsung will just roll over and play dead? Not a chance. As long as your bringing up obsolete hardware isn't it sort of funny that the iPhone 6 is still stuck at 1 GB of RAM? That's just one example. We'll see how this all turns out.
The iPhone 6 will sell very well, but I expect the competition isn't going to stop. At least you should hope it doesn't because without strong products from Samsung, LG, HTC, Moto, etc. Apple would have little motivation to keep improving their product.
Apple knows what they are doing. The iPhone 6 only has 1 GB because it only really needs that amount. iOS 8 will be even more optimized and the fastest phone on the planet with the A8 chip.
The only people who look at specs closely are Android fanboys. I love specs - on a computer - but I don't care about them on a phone or tablet as long as said phone/tablet can run all my apps without lagging.
Like previous year's, iPhone 6 Pre-Orders will begin at 12:01 Pacific Time. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint's website's all read the same thing.

I'm so proud of Apple for creating these amazing products. Apple exceeded expectations in every possible way with their announcements today. Tim Cook has silenced all his doubters.
Translation: "I don't qualify nor can I afford an upgrade right now so let me mock the new iPhone to make myself feel better about it."
Tim's probably right about this. Everyone at work knows I'm the Apple Fan Boi and lots of folks were asking about when the iPhone will be available.
One colleague asked me if I was standing in line and if so would i get her one. I told her its not like buying a loaf of bread.

Steve picked him because he could trust Cook not to stab him in the back and take his job like Sculley did.
Enjoy your ram, it's so 90s...
A quick glance around my office today, 8 out of 10 Android Users want to change to iPhone 6+
So you're to just complain and not going to upgrade over something cosmetic which you will likely put a case over?

My 2 cents. I love my mini and have ATT unlimited data. I live with the mini and often take it with me outside the house. My iPhone also has unlimited data that I seldom use just because the size is not right (to me) for consuming a lot of data. I'm thinking the plus model is for me. It will allow me to leave the pad at home and have the larger 6+ to carry around.
Competition isnt going to stop, correct, but they will also not stop churning out crap to see what sticks.
Have you seen the new Galaxy phone with a metal body? Completely ripped off the chrome edges from the iPhone. Its not the first time but this time its metal which is more comparable.
RAM argument is getting old. If you do so much on your phone where RAM becomes a problem then you arent using the right device. Having 50 tabs open in your browser and numerous other things....
