I don't get why they didn't keep a 4 inches version around. I don't want a phone that big :/ I just want a small phone like the iphone 4 and iPhone 5. They should've released the 4 inches, 4.7 and 5.5 to please everyone.
Sarcasm, right? Funny, and probably not many. I don't think most Apple fans care what features an Android device has.
They don't need to release 4" version they have it with iPhone 5/c/s and at a lower cost because it is older model.

Not going to happen. IF it did Apple stock would be insane. $5000? Imagine..going from target of 70-80m sold to 1.2b sold. Holy cow.
Yeah, but Android ships a billion units a month.
Well, actually....
As of July 29th, 2014 there have been 1.1 billion phones sold worldwide over a period of 7 years (that's 84 months, if my math is better than yours) that run the Android operating system.... soooooooo sorry about your unsuccessful trolling attempt.
Making the statement that Samsung's ad was saying their own parts were blah was comical.
Was it the smiley face I put at the end of that post that tipped you off? You're sharp...
All they got to do is add more countries on pre-order dates and release dates then the number will go up. This is the pattern they have since the beginning just to up the orders on first day. So when they release the numbers to the media it sounds like they beat the numbers every year. That's pretty much it!
Checked his posts. You're right in the mark. He hasn't said a SINGLE thing in favour of a single IOS product. Nada. Either he thinks this is a weirdly-named general tech site or he really is just a an android-user trying to spit in our faces.
I am pretty sure that number is less than a fraction of a percent. So small as to be insignificant.
Accept this year there is no China in the mix where iPhone 6 Plus sales would be the highest as big phones are in demand there.
Honestly there are so many people on Macrumors that just think they know it all.
Before Iphone plus was announced, so many people were mocking the rumours that a 5.5 inch phone will be released, saying "no one wants a bigger phone" or "There are lack of leaked images for 5.5 to be real" etc etc.
It just goes to show that a lot of people talk about stuff they really have no clue about.
There is a big difference between people accessing a site and people making transactions. All those transactions are more likely why the sites were having trouble.[\QUOTE]
I guess customers only access a site none made purchases? I said simultaneous customers not people browsing websites.

Its obvious Apple is constraining the number of phones to sell to generate hyper demand to keep breaking these one day sales records..... oh wait....

But that was HTC... I'm sure they don't do the same thing with Apple.

When was the last time Apple did something simply to add a bullet point to its feature list???? That's not the way they do things. That's the way everyone else does things.
It isn't about the feature list, it is about the user experience and the implementation. NFC is a prime example. Screen resolution is another. The camera is another. TouchID. Apple could have put a Quad HD screen on both of the phones, but they didn't. They increased the quality of the screen instead of throwing pixels at it. Their implementation of NFC payments is such a better experience, both in terms of security and convenience, and their timing and forethought is exceptional. Android phones will have
Pay to thank for the NFC feature becoming actually useful. The camera is always rated right at the top of independent 3rd party reviews every year, despite not being a bajillion megapixels.The list goes on. There is a reason Apple went 64bit, and I'm sure we'll all find out why soon enough, and it isn't just to add a bullet point to the feature list.
If Apple Pay becomes a success, people who want 4" iPhones will want 4" iPhones with Apple Pay support.
Yes, thank you. People that claim that 64-bit processors are only good for accessing more RAM are people that aren't programmers and don't really understand addressing very well.

4" or less is still the best size for a phone if you want to use it with one hand.
I personally think Apple should've done a 4" iPhone 6 and a 5.5" iPhone 6+. Then you've got one handset for people that want something that fits in their pocket and they can use in one hand, and one for people that are going all in and will use it two-handed anyway.
How do you even buy two??? I still can't figure out how you're supposed to buy 2 phones for the same phone number without either paying full price for one or setting up a new phone line!?
Obviously, the larger size has everything to do with this unprecedented amount of pre-orders. I wouldn't be surprised if these two iPhone 6 models end up selling more units than the 4S, 5, 5S and 5C have so far, combined.
The iPhone6 models will at the very least outsell the last three of the above line-up.
