iPhone 6 - The most beautiful phone ever built.

I will have to agree with this guy. The more I spend time with my iPhone 6 the more I like it.

First I had mixed feelings about it after seeing only pictures. When I saw and hold it in person I was impressed. And now I think it's the best and most beautiful phone ever built.

Anyone else in the same boat? :D

PS. Yes I know this thread is useless. I'm just curious.

It's not useless, as poster said above is your opinion. There are plenty of threads based on opinion (as opposed to asking a legimate question). The issue is we wax on, on how nice the iphone 6 is and get labeled as fanboys. :apple:
 
I prefer the 4/4S design and size. I hope Apple brings it back as the smallest size, but updated internals.

I think the rounded glass on 6/+ makes it really pop. I like the back because it looks similar to HTC One. That's the reason I bought a clear case. The 4 was stunning as well just not practical due to glass on both sides. It was a beauty to look at and had nice weight.

I wish someone sold a rear skin for the 6 plus that looked like the Original iphone back

The rounded glass makes the phone feel really nice in the hand, but putting a case on negates the effects of it. I wish the 6 were easier to hold in the hand without a case.
 
The more I see it next to my fathers iPhone 5S the more I think the 6 ha a bald feeling to it... Funny I know... But, that's how I feel...
 
I don't get it Apple makes a phone with a bigger screen actually two and all I hear is the bezels are to big, this and that, if you guys and gals didn't want it why spend he money to buy it???

Well, the bezels aren't really that big. :cool:
 
The iPhone 6 looks good but it has one of the worst feel when using the phone naked without case. Still prefer iPhone 4s/5 look tho.

Yes the phone is nice. However, I am surprised how hard it is to "one hand" as opposed to my 5S. I love the phone, but will consider moving back to the smaller forms on the next go around if Apple gives them all parity on features (Apple Pay, better camera, memory choices, etc).

Love my 4s but after 3years of use. Lately it as got a little hard on the eyes. My 6+ bigger screen and battery is awesome. The camera is spectacular. And the more I use it the more i am convinced that apple should have made a bigger screen a long time ago.

The 5C should have NEVER been made. They should have just kept making the 5.

Nah. I disagree completely. The 5C is a great feeling phone in hand and runs all (at the time) iOS software just fine. It's slim, light, durable, functional and a great option for those who who can't afford, or don't need, all the bells and whistles of the other models. What's wrong with Apple having a wider spectrum of options? It's not like it is fragmenting the iOS environment or anything.
 
Appearance is always subjective, performance less so. I appreciate the performance of the 6 and 6 plus, particularly the large, clear screens they offer. However as much as I want to love the new phones, I can't get past the appearance. First, with the larger phone sizes, the bezels look disproportionately large. However more importantly, for the life of me I can't see how in the world Apple released a design with nice, smooth, even lines, and an ugly nib of a camera lens sticking out the back corner. If it doesn't look out of place, I don't know what does.

The obsession with thinness has created an ugly ducking phone, when all Apple had to do was design a slightly thicker phone with flush lines, and room for a larger battery which the 6 needed. And there would have been less, or maybe no bendgate as a result.

Unfortunately the battery in my 5 is on its way out. Rather than pay for a new battery I will most likely use my upgrade at some point for a new 6. In the end, it will be function over form. But I will never claim it is the best looking phone out there.
 
Everything before the 4 was hideous, and from the 4 on I keep being surprised Apple can top themselves.

However the 4S in the size of the 5 would've been awesome. 4S looked fat and odd after the 5 came out.

I think somehow 4/4s took the design from this phone which came out way earlier. Not too impressed as when 4/4s came out, I was like...what the heck...

Personally, as I reflect back to my prior cell phones, this was by far the best. Because it was the thinnest then, and it was this type of phone that brought down the flip phones and revolutionized the candy bar look of the smartphones today. IMO.

That ridiculously expensive piece of magnesium crap had the worst voice quality of all time making it completely unusable. It didn't bend though. That magnesium body could stop a bullet. I know this for a fact. Maybe 6s will be magnesium.

Also, RAZR came out years later, restarting the flip phone craze. Then Motorola blew it.

The most beautiful would be the iPhone 5! :)

Nope. That distinction goes to the Space Grey iPhone 5s.

This was the best iPhone ever made. PERIOD. Everything about it was perfect. I loved it. Though I do wish it had LTE.

Agree 100%

And this is coming from someone who has had every single class of iphone bar the original.

The jump from the 3G to 4 series was so extraordinarily impressive. I remember thinking wow this is a really substantial upgrade. Everything felt way more solid and high end.
From 4 to 5 I felt it cheapened a bit, like the phone was nowhere near as solid.
By the time I got the 6, it reminded me of the 3GS I used to have. Good quality phone, but it doesn't feel high end, it feels flimsy, not as precise and I feel like it's not nearly as solid, like it's built to only last the two years of the contract length.

My iPhone 4s is still being used in my household and is going strong. The same couldn't be said about the 3GS we had, at the same age. I have a feeling the 6 will fare closer to the 3GS in terms of durability, vs the 4 series.

Stainless steel is the perfect material for a phone, not aluminium.
