Funny you should mention that. Being as you are from another country and don't (most likely) understand and follow the US Stock Market. But yes, most people who invest tend to look for trends in innovation, public/customer sentiment, etc for 'feelings' on where a stock might go. Thereby driving decisions they make on their stock purchases or sales.

Do the Netherlands even have a stock market?????? And are you even old enough to invest?

OMG. How does me being from a different country have anything to do with understanding the stock market? Or did I miss something and are Americans the only ones truly understanding the stock market? Are you for real?

For your information. The Netherlands is among one of the main and oldest stock markets in Europe (and with that, the Earth). The first listed company ever on THIS PLANET was Dutch.

My portfolio is spread 75% US / 25% Europe. And I do know that basing a stock retainment or selling decision on my personal feelings about what I would have liked to see in a consumer keynote is dumb as hell.

I wish I could upgrade, but I think my 6 will hold up well over 1 more year. Plus I have a 2014 Moto X to switch to if I really feel the need to use a "new" phone :)

i'm not falling for bs with this video showing "technical" aspect of it...confusing innocent buyers who know nothing about technology..and thinking...that looks so "special."

That's what I was thinking. 3D touch might be nothing more complicated than sensing a change in the diameter of the touched area.

I am gonna get pissed if the iPhone 6 does not get those functions in mail, sms and on the home screen, those functions does not require 3D touch, they COULD be done just by an press and hold action event....

"Innocent Buyers". :rolleyes:
I hardly think anyone watching this keynote are innocent buyers. Most people watching are techies. They should know what they are buying.

You can press, long press, AND force touch on a home screen icon. So your argument is invalid. How do you not see the clear difference here?

And again, iPhone has had long touch since 2007. But whatever, you guys have made up your mind

Well I see his point. In short, it's a bit of a "complicated" difference to learn all these different gestures.
 
The iPad Pro and Apple TV base models are 32GB. If the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus base model is 16GB that's just a big FU to its consumers.

exactly. If that's the case...they really have nothing to sell. I love 6 plus...but comparing to 6s...well....it's just feature update.

Sure, to re-arrange icons. But you've never been able to long press on shortcuts for different actions.
