Did nearly all iPhone 6 purchasers settle because of shipping times?

[easyfame]

Or are you trying to convince yourself of that because you couldn't get an early pre-order date for the 6 Plus

you should stop

I never wanted a "phablet".

No. If I wanted the 6 plus I would have paid the extra $100 and wait.

 

[Raftysworld]

It's just a theory, i'm not saying that's what happened but I think for a lot of people that's why they settled for the 6

 

[Cergman]

As soon as the 6 was announced, I set my mind on a 64GB space gray 6 unlocked on T-Mobile, and that's exactly what I got. Delivered 9/19.

 

[Jest3r]

I ordered three: Two 6's and THEN a 6+.

All scheduled for delivery on 6/19.

Hey all,

Noticing a trend around here... nearly everyone who bought the 6 seems to have done so because they couldn't wait for the 6+! Pretty pathetic

Got a source for that, or are you just making **** up?

 

[PVisitors]

I swear new product releases bring out the worst in people on Macrumors.

A theory requires some rationalism.

You've got none.

Nope, my work phone is a Note 3, I didn't want another gigantic phone that is a pain to carry when wearing shorts or without a bag or briefcase.

It was always going to be a 6, at least I can leave the Note 3 at home outside work hours.

PS

The only thing pathetic here is you thinking you are superior with a Plus, and making up stories as to why people are choosing the more logical (for carry purposes) model.

I'm ordered some Spigen cases ahead of time. I had a case for the 6 first, and the size of it sealed the deal for me. A day or two after I placed my order for a 6, the case for the 6 plus arrived... It's HUGE
I am very happy with my choice.

 

[Bentox]

Nope - I knew I was getting a 6 when I woke up at 2:53AM EST

I carry my phone in my front pants pocket all of the time, and did try a co-worker's 5.5" phone in my pocket a couple weeks ago; it fit, and I could sit if I adjusted the phone a bit before sitting, but it was way too obtrusive. I envy women with their purses! But then again, even my wife decided to go with the non-plus 6 after I tried to lobby her otherwise.

Why stop there? How about using a iPhone 4s?

Why not an iPod Shuffle? Who needs a screen?!?

 

[MisterDisney]

Got screwed on the reservation thing (had a 64GB 6+ in my cart, my reservation code took me to a 16GB 6 instead)... So, taking my chances with camping out for a 6+, Thursday night/Friday morning.

"Android phones suck, we hate androids. Apple is the king. They look so stupid with the large ugly screens. " What happened to these people? Was it just jealously? Now most people are bragging about their iphone 6+.

I know lots of people who have an iPhone and wanted a bigger screen, but they kept the iPhone because of iOS. For me, I like my 4 inch screen, but I am open to the 4.7 because I really like the Lunima 920 at one time. People minds and tastes also change, it's human nature.

I hope they keep the 4 inch phone around for years to come.

 

[brent1977]

So it's not exactly an iPad Mini lol. But I hear you. My move to an iPhone 6 Plus is because these days I tend to use my phone over bluetooth in the car quite often and when at home over speaker phone or with some headsets connected. Plus I also like to use the screen for various purposes. That is why I am excited about the larger screen.

Larger screen would definitely be nice for browsing and email. I just expect I'd personally end up choosing to leave my phone in my car or at my desk if it were that big.

 

[Primejimbo]

Me too, I don't get it at all, but at least the people who want one can get one now.

 

[Rud3Bwoy]

def not way to big i could of gotten the 6 plus but passed on it.4,7 is perfect

As someone who carries a Note 3 for work, yes, that happens, sometimes I just forward calls to my iphone and leave it locked in a drawer, especially in hot weather when I don't want to take a jacket.

I settled for a space grey 128gb 6 plus.

I wanted a space grey 64 gb 6 plus.

128gb was only thing I could get for in store pickup.

 

[sillywabbit]

I ordered my 6 because I want it. Why is this so hard to understand?

I find it so funny that prior to the 6+ being shown, so many people on Macrumors were constantly bashing large screens.

Because they are Apple fanboys hypocrites. They make fun of everything not apple and when apple releases it, it is a revelation.

I can certainly see why everyone makes fun of apple fanboys.

 

[mdlooker]

No the real "settling" will come when everyone is in that long a** line and by the time that cart gets to them and they see that inventory has massively dwindled..

Aww yessss the good ol @#*! Ok what you got??!! Gimme that!!!

 

[wc17]

Once I saw that the plus was bigger than the note I couldn't go ahead with the purchase...

I find it odd, all this 6 vs 6+ battling... Who cares about which APPLE phone you get? They're gonna be pretty damn similar other than the screen size...people are criticizing others based on personal preference which is such odd behaviour. Do people act like this in real life?

 

[accountforit]

Of course not. I purchased the 6 because that is the phone I wanted, and I could have had either.

Why are there so many elitist thinkers on this forum who think everyone wants a 6+ because that is what they chose?

No, he'd be scared to call people pathetic to their faces, they might just react and he'd have to run away .
