Try to think realistically, will the iPhone 6S make you jealous?

[Jazper]

I prefer real sources, not the freedictionary, that has the "quality" logic that jealousy arises from feelings of envy. LOL.

http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...t-is-the-difference-between-envy-and-jealousy

"Envy" and "jealousy" are often used interchangeably in common usage, but the words stand for two distinct emotions.[1] Jealousy is the result or fear of losing someone or something that one is attached to or possesses to another person (the transfer of a lover's affections in the typical form), while envy is the resentment caused by another person having something that one does not have, but desires for oneself.[8]

Sure that's true if you're looking at the original origin and meaning of the words, but in todays language the two words have become synonymous.

Apple is not gonna sell a lot of iPhone 6S next year, unless it comes with 5K display and 21MP camera

They held back on RAM this year, snidely, so that we'll all jump at a 2 or 3GB model next time 'round. If the iPhone 6 had 2GB of RAM it would be hard to better next year, unless a truly stupendous camera was dropped in. I will upgrade to the 6S purely for more RAM (if it has it).

The biggest change and performance improvement to the A8 is actually on the architectural side and not the die node shrink, that would account for only about 8-10 % increase in performance, they did alot of work on the memory side and memory latency and access is dramatically better on th A8 then the A7 which gives it that 25% increase

My point was that the performance increases were incremental compared to the power consumption getting cut in half. Apple didn't redesign the CPU core with the A8, while the A8X hints at much bigger things ahead with their next gen A series chips.

The s series always had some s name to it - speed, Siri, or security. Next years iPhone will probably have sapphire added to it. A sturdy iPhone that parents don't have to shell out $$ to replace? That might get people to buy it alone. The camera will be awesome I'm sure.

I have always been on the S cycle since the 3GS

Same here until I finally upgraded to iPhone 6 Plus so no upgrade until 2016.

Like ya, know, that is totally like right, man. Their are people who, like, just peruse a thread like this and use the wrong words irregardless of what they, like, mean.

The movie Idiocy is, like totally, becoming a documentary.

I'm not jealous because I just buy it haha

this..

if i want it, i'll buy it.

i can sell the current phone for a decent amount and pay $200 or so to get the newer model. no big deal.

I've never found any incremental update Apple provides on any of there devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc) to make me truly jealous. Devices that would make me jealous have a long enough update cycle it doesn't matter like the AppleTV. Or are a total let down for me *ahem* Mac Mini.

Sure there are things I'd like to have but not enough for me to waste any time dwelling on it.

Its a double edge sword. I'm never impressed with updates but on the same note I'm not upset with my current devices being out of date.

Since purchasing my air 2 I don't really ever use my iPhone except for work purposes. I could see myself perhaps skipping the 6s, and not being jealous about it, now an Air 3 I could get jealous about.

 

[moderniste]

I'll probably feel a twinge of envy, but it will just give me something to look forward to in the 7.

 

[psylence2k]

for people who buy on two year contracts, you might be a little envious , but hey if you wait and buy the 6S then you're still gonna be envious when the 7 comes out with everything the 6S has plus more.

exactly.. why get jealous? i'll be the first one in front of that computer come 3am... LOL

 

[Tsuchiya]

I'm sure it'll have a new gimmick or two that would be tempting.

What bothers me though is that Apple never make the best device they possibly could. There is always some compromise or omitted upgrade which makes yearly upgrades kind of pointless...

 

[BrentwoodTWO]

I will not upgrade until Apple can figure out a way to shrink the top bezel of the iphone 6

 

[thalazy]

I do get a bit of the upgrade bug.

When they announce the latest model but I have to think is it a want or a need. Phone manufacturers are never going to go all out they are always going to hold back something so that it'll get suckers such as myself to buy the latest model when in reality we don't need it and are just wasting money. I am going to try to be content with my new phone until at least i'm fully upgrade eligible.

 

[themyst]

If the 6S has 2+ GB RAM and a camera capable of 4K video I'll bite my lip and upgrade. I don't make if a habit of swapping yearly but the ram is inadequate

That's not really true ... Its an apple thing only. The android mnufacturers don't hold back. We'll probably see 4GB and 4K screens next year in that camp.
