And there's the ignorant social justice warrior trying to look enlightened and sophisticated and who is actually the racist.
iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, I still haven't decided yet.
Wish they had 32Gb base model, now instead have to spend more for 64Gb.
Seriously what fits in a 16Gb version anymore? Greedy much?
The 64Gb is actually priced the same as to what the 32Gb used to be... Also it makes more sense to make a greater difference in size between the the base model and the next one in size (e.g. 16Gb, 64Gb) than it does to have the product line start at 32Gb.
By keeping the base model at 16Gb its effectively marketed towards individuals who aren't tech savvy, older generations and simply those who just wants to use the devices as a phone and nothing else, whilst allowing Apple to provide them with a device that is roughly $100 cheaper.
Not really.
The launches were planned probably at least a year in advance. The reason you don't have you phone now is the unexpected demand for iPhone 6 Plus and even to a smaller extent the iPhone 6 with different configurations.
Thanks for sharing this... Do you have actual numbers of how many were sold?
Imagine if Apple can command huge sale numbers from both China and India........... time to buy some more Apple stocks.....
Good luck with your 6+ purchase.... hope you enjoy it.... I played with 6 & 6+ at my local store this weekend and was blown away by the speed of it.... I am saying this even though my 5s on 8.0.2 is quite fast already !! 6 & 6+ felt even faster....
6/6+ raked up 20K pre orders in India on the day they began taking pre-orders.

Thats a fairly impressive number since I have never really met many people on my visits to India that pre-order their phones. I do however see a very sharp contrast between Apple in China and in India. Apple has ZERO direct retail presence in India, so there is a total lack of the "apple experience" of going into a genuine apple store and experiencing the entire lineup of apple product. Apple deals with third party re-sellers. I had to visit them twice on two separate trips and both tried to sell me "cheaper" quality, chinese accessories for my iPad. The experience with these re-sellers is "crap". Meanwhile Samsung has huge market presence with dedicated stores in even the smaller cities, and has had them for close to a decade from what I have heard.
Compare to China, where according to some reports pre-orders currently stand at 20 Million

Apple isn't allowed to open up retail stores in India and until it has significant market presence in that country, i really do not see them having the sort of impact on sales as they do through china.

Thanks for sharing the info....
I remember Tim Cook visiting India early this year or was it last year - can't remember. I am pretty sure that India is a target market for Apple to crack...
As iKaushal said in the earlier post, India has a lot of people with a high disposable income. iPhone surely could sell quite well there if Apple opens up a few stores in major cities and also advertises heavily... One thing in India, heavy advertising seems to sell most things......
Thanks once again for taking time for sharing.. Appreciate it...
Agreed, but the way apps are increasing in size and the data stored on the devices now, it really seems that even the average user will run out of space to do upgrades when i0S 9 comes out next year. Especially with the iPads, where the 16g model is just way too small now.
So everyone in the first release countries were white? How do you know? Are you saying only white people in the release countries were buying iPhones?
You do know that there are a mixture of races/colors in most countries.

More? the 64gb is the same price as the 32gb you should really do some research.
I wouldn't go that far.
Albeit, the statement isn't entirely correct, but it isn' completly off either. The demand for the new iPhones has put a constraint of the supply in the US, but to expect Apple to hold up launches in other contries until the back log is cleared is kinda crazy.
I see the first launch countries as getting a chance at the new phones before next countries do. That is a good thing, could you imagine the wait if apple release everywhere at the same time?
People could easily be looking at 1 - 2 month wait times.
Curious what is your delivery date when you placed your order? Unless Apple missed your delivery date, I don't see any reason to complain.
Rather than deleting things you should encourage your friends to update using iTunes. It's simple and you don't have to delete things.
Or just attach it to your computer and update thru iTunes. No need to delete anything, more reliable and faster. Who's fault is that that "people" don't know a thing about their devices?
And if you don't have a PC now that we live in Apple's post PC utopia??
You can't order it day one, it has to be minute one if you want it in a timely fashion.
There maybe still some issue with the 6S plus. We may be better off waiting for the Iphone 10, or Iphone 20 then it would be issue-free. Hopefully be then, Apple will perfect all of its products
I'm black and I agree with his message.
I don't care what color the scalpers are. I don't agree with what they are doing. If it was just a few people doing it, no one would be complaining. Since it's a ton of people doing it I feel like it's gotten out of hand.
