Don't have time for the trip to China, so I bought 20 phones, will keep one I like take others back on day 13. On second thought, maybe I keep 2, won't need AppleCare+ then, as will have a spare.
Got a tip for us?

When you think about it, they actually should, for the price of three-four iPhones.
It would help a bit on their business side.
Right, they so hurting for business. Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier just to have 64GB as minimum memory? That would help a bit on their business side.When you think about it, they actually should, for the price of three-four iPhones.
I think they know exactly what they're doing with 16 base and 100 dollar up sell for 64.
They think they know what they're doing. They are just alienating most customers, and with the recent Apple hate on the Internet, they have even more chances of losing their clients by doing dangerous decisions like keeping the 16GB model. Fanboys will buy anything at any price, so that isn't a problem for them, but there aren't a lot of them compared to regular users.
I think their most recent earnings call would beg to differ.
That being said, I don't like the 16GB base model either.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that it will, sooner or later, hurt Apple a lot if they keep up with this business decision. If it happened to Apple in the late 90s, it can happen again.
Heck yes I'm still happy, all of the sites and videos I have seen put my chip above Samsung in terms of battery %The Samsung a9 is better according to certain sites/reports. You still happy?
I had never heard of the chip-gate when I purchased my 6S. I did however notice that my new iPhone's battery lasted far longer than any previous iPhone I had owned before. I downloaded the BMSSM app once I found out about the chip controversy. Lo and behold my iPhone came with the TSMC chip.
Isn't it obvious? The one with the longer battery life.
Unless you are joking.
If you tax the processor heavily like gaming. The TSMC chip will win hands down every time.
Apple doesn't consider playing games for 4-6 hours with the iPhone "typical" behavior
When this first broke I downloaded the BMSSM app and learned I have the Samsung chip. I suppose I could've freaked out but instead just said meh and went about my day and never looked back.
^ This is how it should be. As long as your iPhone is functioning well with no obvious defects there is no need to freak out or return it like others are doing.
The Apple TV comes with base 32GB.
Hopefully 2015 will be the last year we see 16GB base iPhone and iPad models.
Only so many games (no pun intended) apple can play with the 16Gb models these days.
They may do creative pricing (say $79 more for 64GB as opposed to $100). Who knows.
You sir are deeply mistaken if you think that apple is going to be in trouble any time soon
How is that? Maybe not now, but they will in the future if they don't get on hold of their actions. They are just chasing cheap customers and pro customers away to focus only on people who are just rich and are willing to pay anything.
Be a little more specific as to why you think that. The only thing you've brought up is a 16gb iPhone still being sold, which is still enough for a large portion of what I call "the streaming population". They don't have movies on their phone, or music, and upload every other file to the cloud and don't keep much local.
By cheap customers, I mean they try to make all their cheaper products worse and worse and with lower specs (the Mac Mini, 21.5" iMac for example).
By pro customers, they remove all pro features to make it "user-friendly", completely ignore the Mac Pro, etc.
Ah, the Mac. Yeah, they've made it clear they don't care about Macs. That's okay, though, because barely anyone else cares about Macs either.
Uh, excuse me? Was that sarcastic? When you're a Mac user (8% of computer users use a Mac), you care about Macs. I care about Macs because it's the only system I'm able of using on a daily basis (Windows is too glitchy, Linux lacks software). So, there are people who care about Mac and thus we need at least some kind of respect from Apple.
Also, I think they also clearly have no idea what they're doing with the iPhone as well. The amount of planned obsolescence they're building is insane. The cost of iPhones hasn't decreased by a penny, and the 16GB iPhone still exists. iOS is buggy, bugs don't get fixed, and the list goes on and on. I think that Tim Cook is doing a **** job at Apple. He hasn't improved anything and only made things worse because of his greed.
