Steve was right!

do you feel better now?

 

I don't know how I could disagree more

 

You can't please everyone all of the time.

 

I thought the same. I'm contemplating on a Gold or Silver 5S 32GB for $599 unlocked at Apple.

 

What a waste of time. I did not even read the whole thing. Get over it and return the phone if you are not happy.

 

You're completely disregarding his opinion then and telling him to close the door on his way out.

 

I mostly agree with your points.
I would choose the iPhone 4/5 design over the iPhone 6 and 6+ any time. The form factor of those is much more appealing to me. Same for the back, and the camera's protrusion is not something I enjoy either.
As a separate point, I find that handling the iPhone 6 is not comfortable at all for me, being too thin and light. Even the 5s is probably too thin for me. I'm sure many would prefer having a device that is a little less light and thin to improve the comfort of having it in the hand.

 

Ummm, no, he wasn't

Steve jobs also became a vegan because he thought it meant he wouldn't have to bathe. And he thought herbal remedies would cure his disease vs medical care, which would've saved his life.

 

No he can have an opinion, but really claiming Apple made a bad decision and just followed Samsung because he does not like the phone is just crazy. This forum is already full of complaining about the new phones. This one just does not make much sense.

 

The posthumous Steve Jobs posts are my favorite.

 

I like Tim's wrong decision, a lot

 

My wife an iPhone snob hates her new 6 for the size factor alone. Too big for her, so it's going back and she's keeping her 5.

Thank goodness I did not sell hers yet, almost did.

To each there open, but OP is not alone.

 

I must admit that after spending many months longing for a bigger screen, I will kinda miss the one-handed usability of the iPhone 5/5S. In terms of a completely portable device it is fantastic. Plus the design is far more classy and 'premium' than the iPhone 6. Something just slightly larger than the 5S would have been a winner for plenty of folk.

U mad bro?

 

There ya go!

 

Steve told me he likes the 6 Plus. I got that message while wearing my tin foil hat. Steve don't lie and he ain't no hater.

And you can neither please nor displease Steve, who is still dead and during his life was certainly known to change his opinion.

 

You are in luck! They still sell the 5S. I hear availability is good.

 

I agree with you to some degree OP.

I can almost use it one handed, but my hand begins to ache. I'm nervous I could easily drop the phone someday too.

While the larger screens are simply terrific, it seems the 6 is slightly large for me.

Still, what else am I going to get? I already have a 5 and a 5S. I'm going to go ahead and keep the 6. If it becomes too much of a problem, I could always pop my sim card back in one of the other devices.

Overall though, while it would never been "exciting" enough to survive, for pure portability, the 5/5S was the sweet spot I guess.

Not complaining. I think Apple had to make the change, but there was something about what they kept beating into us before about one hand.

 

Two words. Small hands

 

The design and screen size is new and different. Although this particular launch of iPhones is drastically different compared to previously launches. Apple obviously felt compelled to released these screen sizes primarily cause "people want what we don't have."

I'm pleased that Apple released the 6 plus. If you have the 5s.. keep that form factor. It's not as if it's not being supported by Apple. You are entitled to your opinion.. but as sales indicate not everyone agrees with you and Steve.
