Get 6+ or wait for the 7-Looking for insight

Does she do much on it? I mean really only big things between the 6 and 6s are the 3D Touch (which I turned off - find in useless for me)

 

I say wait imho.

 

I mean is it worth it to spend close to 700 bucks on a brand new iPhone when it comes out if it is being used for little tasks that the 6 or 6s+ can handle?

 

I took the plunge and grabbed the 6s+ yesterday (just posted a new topic on this actually). Not regretting it one bit.

But I actually forgot one point that I didn't put in it though. I wanted to on the "S" upgrade path, especially with all the rumours about the 7 being w/out a headphone port, etc. Much rather than the 7S than the 7; but thats my preference and choice. You may have a different choice though.

 

Yeah I understand that. Only thing I know of know is just enlarging the text in settings

 

I went from the 6 to the 6S plus. Right now, getting 3D touch is worth the upgrade alone IMO. Keyboard is much better & easier to use, screen is soo much better. Signal strength is a tad better as well. I can go on & on though.

 

I went from the 6 to the 6s last week. No big difference. I had to sell my 6 because I dropped it in water, even though there was no water damage.

 

That's one of the many questions/rumors concerning the iPhone 7. Also, Since this will be a new feature, I much rather wait for the 7S (or longer) so they can refine & improve the technology for the 7S..especially dealing with a feature that complicated.

 

Wait for the iPhone 14+. Trust me, it will be worth the wait.

 

Though it was completely submerged in a puddle of clear water with the screen on, it still worked perfectly. Just didn't want to deal with potential future issues. The only thing that would make me upgrade to the 7 would be a screen upgrade. It's about time.

 

Long time reader over 8 years here... I decided to go with an iPhone 6s+ yesterday due to the fact that I want to be on the "S" cycle and I am not too sure there will be significant upgrades or changes that would make me want to jump on the 7 (non-S) cycle.

 

Personally I'm waiting for the 7, I have the 6 Plus (I didnt upgrade to the 6S) and I could kick myself for not getting the 6S Plus, after using the 3D Touch and Live Photos on my best friends 6S I think it's worth the upgrade, but with only 5-6 months left until the unveiling of the iPhone 7 it's worth waiting.

 

Right now, you should definitely wait for iPhone 7. 6S Plus is a 6 months old phone.

iPhone 7 is expected to have a slightly twerked design with possible bump in screen resolution with slight possibility of AMOLED screen. The 7 is also expected to have usb 3 transfer speed over lightning port. With 7 you can also do a little twerking.

 

We're literally less than 170 days away from iPhone 7 launch. It makes sense to wait.

 

So the 7 looks to be just the dual camera upgrade which will help picture taking a lot. And thinner frame rather than better battery life. The pace of innovation at Apple is slowing and their priorities are weird.

Unless they somehow move up the OLED it's not worth waiting 6 for their next innovation.

 

Given how you described your moms expected usage patterns, the 6+ will be more than sufficient for the next couple of of years at least (until the 1GB RAM begins to limit OS/ app updates). However, given that Apple is still going to charge you an arm and a leg for that 6+, and with the iPhone 7 on the horizon, I would wait to get more bang for my buck.

 

I need a good trustworthy place to by a Iphone 6 refurb for my wife, hers is out of warranty and broken, I read a thread aout refurb model numbers but it was from last year, it did not give any places to get Iphone only other things.
If this not the proper thread to ask ,mods feel free to move it to the proper thread, thank you.
