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

[Oletros]

The Android experience is like a wooden roller-coaster with flashy new cameras taped onto the backs of seats with duct-tape. Yeah, that's accurate.

(I know I'm using 'Android' as a term for all other phones, but it's just the easiest way to communicate, because truly, no single android phone brand or product stands out above the other. They are all equally mediocre in experience.)

If Apple was a person, Apple would be the girl that is exceedingly smart and graceful, but only a select group of people with taste would understand her. Android would be a college freshman who gets a little to drunk and strips for people, so Android would get more attention occasionally. Yet, the people who are intelligent, however, would understand the beauty in Apple's long-term relationship mentality vs. Android's one night stand attitude.

I bet that those things are just written to start flame baits, no one with just a little knowledge can write such wrong claims.

Spot on.

Studies have shown that iPhone users are better looking than Android users.

Fact.

And they have bigger tits or penises

More humble too!

I've had a severe stomach upset since reading Tim Cook's post, aka atmymac.

I don't know about others, but this is the lamest upgrade that I've seen as far as iPhone is concerned..

So, bigger screen and payment (NFC + Touch ID) is the greatest innovations that Apple has ever produced?

I just don't see the wow factor. Bigger screen.. Duh.. When was it that we see phones with 4.7 and above? Is that even an innovation????

I praise apple for tying NFC + Touch ID for easier payment.. But can't you do that with 5s? Is this really an innovation that is worth upgrading to 6 for?

CPU is now little faster.. The battery lasts 1 hr longer.......

Okay.. What else is there that is really so innovative?

Maybe we reached the point where the eye opening innovation is no longer possible with Phones, but man... Mr. Tim sounds so silly with such statements where there is nothing to back his statements.

I think as Apple have gone retro with their attempt at going larger I may just put a new battery in my trusty 3310.

$549 is cheap?

yes, if iPhone cost 549 usd in my country (even before tax price), that would be awesome and I would consider it cheap.

Does anybody else (except me) want an iPhone 6 mini ?

Am I the only person on the planet that wants a smaller phone, that will fit in my shirt pocket ?

I get all the people sitting on public transport going to work want a huge screen for video and stuff, but my 4s screen is plenty big enough for what I use it for.

Please Tim, an iPhone 6 mini in black, without all the ugly panel gap lines.

I agree with the guy though. I don't like the protruding camera b/c it can break easier. I can get over the antenna breaks (case), but the protruding camera? No thanks

While you are "getting over" the antenna breaks by putting on a case, you'll also find that same case will eliminate the protruding camera as well.

We will have to agree to disagree.

iPhone 6 size

Just got my Spigen Neo Hybrid case in the mail. I think people will be surprised how the 6 is not much taller or wider than the current 5s, and so incredibly thin! I cannot wait for my iPhone 6 to arrive next week! It feels great in the hand.

For people hating on the antenna lines, just get a thin case and protect your investment. They look so much better in apples photos then on the early parts and prototypes we all saw. I would have loved the glass inserts at top and bottom as i think it was a signature look from apple, but I remember that looking odd in the beginning too.

It is a sexy phone from the curved glass to the curvature of the metal back, it is very pretty, especially the spacegrey/black glass one. Wish the silver and gold came in a black glass version too.

Tim Cook is right for the job, he knows he is not Steve, he can never be Steve. He is surrounding him self with great people, from retail to R&D, he is building the future of Apple.

He had the guts to make the hard decision of firing Forstall, The look of iOS is much cleaner now, I was so worried about the loss of Forstall, but iOS6 looks so childlike and clunky compared to iOS8...

He is making the right choices for Apple to remain competitive and profitable. Phones are only going to be evolutionary for a while not revolutionary... the 6 is a worthy upgrade in my eyes...

and thank god for Android, Android needs iOS and iOS needs Android. We do not want Apple that rests on their laurels...

I'll bet that's precisely what comes out next year - an iPhone Mini (or Air). That would match their other line-ups.
