Got the gold/white 16 to accommodate my space grey 64 6s plus on 9.0.2 jailbroken
Wanted to test iOS 10 beta, turns out I really like and sorta miss the 4" form, I didnt think I would like It nearly as much as I have-- profound for me,
The screen you can sorta adjust to/have to, contrast wise and size (this part feels great) but in direct sunlight compared to my phablet its vastly vastly inferior, and honestly resolution aside screen quality is infinitely better on the phablet and more appealing looking, I'm a screen person but for functionality and its invisibility, ill go for it. And taking calls on it after almost 2 years with the 5.5", it feels like I'm in zoolander holding the microscopic phone. I can't believe it, but the phablet feels extreme too, like holding a huge bar of soap up to my face which is what I'm used to, but now everything feels weird and its kinda neat to feel weird about devices that have been engrained in my head already
Anyways a9 and 2gb in a one hand device feels amazing, having this much compute in a tiny little package, its unrivaled. With 7 going similar to 6/6+ design but without antenna lines or headphone jack and a recessed, what I would just say is flush camera, not thrilled for a third slightly modified serving honestly for my least enthusiastic design ever
The battery life and power of this phone are great its a shrunk 6s plus battery life wise,
It made me realize I like having a phone that disappears in my pocket, that I dont take out to cross my legs or by default put on the table out of necessity and in turn habit as well
Dont know where I'm going with this, except 4" and 5.5" in the arsenal one stock bleeding edge one jailbroken and config'd to hell, is a power combo,
Imo, and its just my opinion, the 4.7" current 6 factor satisfies neither and is an unfulfilling compromise of immersiveness and one handed ness, right on the fence between the two. At least if I'm going awkward, I want that HUGE screen to make it worth the compromise. Thats why I sold my 6 one month after release and went 6+ and subsequently 6s+. That and battery and OIS/video OIS
The 6/6+ really does look protoype-y by comparison of design, come on Apple.
It commands being thrown in a case, without guilt, whereas 5/5s/SE you get a little sad to put in a case, however cool that case may be, minimal, etc. It takes away from a pristine design, whereas 6 is just a design, I grew tired of early on, and really like 5.5" because of iOS, jailbreak, good parts in it but the design, meh!
And love the flush nearly identical camera (even though it has no OIS for low light photography or video or longer exposure shots needed handheld)
$399 is a pill I can swallow, to have dual devices until something exciting comes along depending on what I want to do for the day and how immersed or not immersed I want to be in content, and how hand-able it would suit my needs,
Going SE to 12.9" (back and forth) is so much fun every friggin time haha
Also feels nice to use the phone in bed hovering over my head, and not worry about the phablet falling down on my face from questionable support, perhaps extreme but a real concern when half asleep
