Anyone know where to get that purple flower wallpaper they are using in pics of the new iPhones at the
Apple website?
Apple website?
What is the deal breaker for leaving the iPhone? Just curious... Also download "McTube" if you need to watch HD youtube videos over Cellular.. It's a nice youtube navigation app too.
Really That is not even an upgrade compared to a 3GS.
It's the most rubbish phone I've ever owned.
Even my dumb phones where better.
I don't. What is it and where did Apple say it? The way I took it in the keynote was apple didn't want to profit from it directly because doing so could inhibit adoption. The OP quotes Tim as saying economic advantages. As in, you have to buy an iphone to pay with your phone.
In the last 2 years I went from a Note 2 to iPhone 5s to a Note 3. Today's announcements really did not impress me. I was actually expecting a resolution higher than 1920x 1080 in the 5.5" version. And super disappointed that 16GB is still an option. So now you're telling me I need to spend $400 on contract for the 64GB iPhone 6 plus!!!! I don't think so. I would rather take my 64GB sd card out of my Note 3 and pay $300 (or less because there are always deals) on a Note 4 which beats out the 6 plus in every category. The Note is even shorter than the 6 plus which is nuts; I would have never guessed that one.
There are going to be some good deals for Android users this fall to move product. I wouldn't be surprised to see BYGO free promo's.
I made the switch last year with the HTC M7 and I don't regret it. Try it!
Don't deprive yourself from something different.
I love Apple, but I am going to be honest: If Apple can convince customers to buy an iPhone 5c, this will be easy. Goodnight everyone. 
What exactly are you saying? Please don't say that you can download 3rd party application from other source.
No Ford . . . . I'll keep my horse!
That may be one of the worst analogies I've ever read.

The whole iPhone 5c was a fiasco. They were trying to get all the budget minded people to buy the phone that was useless and expensive.
Really? You mean when you double tap the home button on a 6+ it DOESN'T move all the icons to the bottom of the screen for single handed operation like the videos show? I am a little upset Apple is faking that video...
Or do you not know what you are talking about?
App situation on Andrpid isn't as bad as you guys thought... I'd say almost all popular apps are available on Android.. You cannot really bash Android for app.
Only thing Android is lacking is that lack of tablet optimized apps. That is why I am not going back to iPhone at all but keep upgrading iPad.
No not that. Anyone who knows anything about design and its principles can see that the iphone 6 backside is just plain ugly. There's nothing visually appealing about the antenna lines and the protruding camera lens. If Jobs is still around this design would've never been approved. But then again it's now Tim Cook's apple, not Steve Jobs. What apple was known for is slowly starting to decay. Oh and just to be clear, I can afford an upgrade. I'm a designer and I know the difference between visual harmony and visual cluster****.
For in-app Apple Pay transactions: zero. Apple Pay simply acts as a means of obtaining payment authorisation from the user - the one-time payment token still needs to be used by a third-party payment gateway to actually take the payment. Merchants will continue paying fees to their existing payments provider.
What are you doing that requires more than 1920x1080 resolution on a 5.5" screen?
It's far beyond the resolution that the human eye can detect... do you use a loupe on your phone screens?
Having just returned a Samsung galaxy s5 , there is a considerable difference in the performance in the android apps vs ios apps. One of the many reasons I switched back.
The lack of tablet optimized apps is a given and been that way for quite sometime.
Okay while I'm going to assume you are a troll, I'll make my case. I had no idea what their cut was, that's why I posted the question. A user above has replied that it will be 15 to 25 basis points (0.15% to 0.25% per transaction). So much lower than other transaction providers.
This shortsighted mindset seems to miss the point that competition is what drives Apple to innovate. Building a larger iPhone was a direct response to larger smartphones. Just like the iPhone 4 blew everything out of the water in response to emerging threats in the newly emerging personal cell phone market.
Before there was competition consumers were begging Apple for basic functionality like MMS and landscape keyboards....that Apple told us we really didn't need. ("Just email your pictures.....")
Competition is best for consumers. Even if you are an Apple fan and a shareholder, you should still want competition around to keep pushing Apple to build better products. With the MS phones still lagging, I'm all for Android continuing to compete with Apple as hard as they can.
