Here's the truth of bendgate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0-3fIs2jQs
For me personally I make it a habit to always take my phone out of my back pocket when sitting down. One because it's uncomfortable and two because I never wanted to find out the results of the bendgate testing!
I prefer a phone small enough to fit in my front pocket for the times I might not have a work bag, etc to put it in.
Went to the Verizon shop last week and looked at both. For me, the 6 Plus is impractical because of its size. But I *think* I can make the 6 work carrying it in my shirt pocket. My old friend, the Motorola V60 (vintage 2003) flip phone, has finally seen its last. The charging cord is stuck in the bottom of the phone and the charger itself is now held together by Scotch tape (I didn't have any electrical tape at the time). I look like a homeless person with the charger stuffed into my pocket and the cord running up to my face. So... Finally... :(Quote:

But the car that I ordered back in May won't arrive until October 19 (estimated, maybe, we think, possibly, "I'll believe it when I see it", etc.). From this I say, Apple's supply chain > Subaru's supply chain. I'm looking forward to getting the phone (wonky, dud iOS 8 system and all) - the car, not so much anymore.
The (conspiracy) theory being floated is that some of the stories about the bending iPhones were planted by competitors and/or Fandroid people and the "desperate for an Apple story" media picked up on them, especially since Consumer Reports found that you could stand a 70 pound child on the middle of the 6 Plus and it wouldn't bend. Where's the rolleyes smilie? There it is! :rolleyes: I'm generally not into conspiracy theories, but the one story that some guy's girlfriend was walking through the mall with her 6 Plus in her purse and it bent, all by itself, without her sitting on it or smashing it into a wall a dozen times, was clearly a made-up lie... yet the media ran with that one too. They should just cut to the chase and do a story about how the Loch Ness monster sat on his iPhone 6 Plus and it bent all to hell. CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg and most of the other TV outlets in the U.S. are staffed by cute, blonde, former beauty queens who are dumber than a bag of hair - except for Emily Chang of Bloomberg West. She's Asian and a brunette, but deep down inside, "Emily "the Talking Squirrel" Chang is a blonde. I bet she has trouble getting to work every morning without getting lost.Quote:

And by shifting the focus to device management and away from (just) devices, I think that company has a bright(er) future. Not out of the woods yet, but I have my money where my mouth is on this belief.
Well this morning this happened :(

So this afternoon iPhone 6 happened!
Wow that's great :p: what storage ?
128gb :D. I wanted black but they didn't have one and I wasn't in a position to wait.
That's the phone I will order as soon as I get back to Copenhagen :up:
After a quick glance I thought you had bought a white Samsung Whatnot, had to look more closely to see what it really was. :)
I've been having a bit of trouble with the navigation in my Sony, it seems Android 4.3 has some issues fixing to Glonass satellites. Some time I lose sat-connection every few minutes. Not fun when driving in unfamiliar area.
Is there any reason it needs to use GLONASS specifically? Better coverage in your area I guess?
Of the 20 or so satellites visible here, maybe 1/3 are Glonasses. It would help with the signal.
I believe that although it's a global system it's designed to concentrate on Russia which would also cover Finland I guess.
OK, here's what I think happened. I think your girlfriend was carrying it in her purse through the mall and it broke all by itself. Either that, or your wife found out that you have a girlfriend and she threw it at you and that's how it broke. Am I right or am I right or... am... I... right??? :DQuote:

You'll love it. And 64 is plenty.
Yep, that what my son told me !
Not sure if I really need 128 as I'm only using 38gb at the moment. But there's plenty time yet.
And i can still switch to a 128 GB next year, when the 6S will be released ! :p:
Just got home and...voilá ! Attachment 331
Enjoy and report back! Nice colour!
Thanks, I will ;)
Girly colour :devil:
Not when you put a black cover over, and you have Juve colors !Quote:

Here's Attachment 333
Is the Pendo 7" tablet any good? I don't need a quick machine, I just want something to tap away lots of notes with and draw, on the train.
It's weird, Apple makes a pretty, slim phone and then you guys stick it inside a gaudy rubber case. ;)
Janne, my iPhone 4s is 4 years old, and in perfect condition, thanks to a cover. Going to do the same with my iPhone 6 ! ;)
Link pls.Quote:

The only question I have is, will I bend my iPhone 6 when I shove it inside the card reader at the gas station??? I just don't think it's gonna fit. Or maybe it will! Hold on, I'll get my hammer.Quote:

I would normally agree and I haven't had a case before. But the iPhone 6 looks especially scratchable on the back and slippery to hold. So I'm going to give a case a try. Not sure if I will keep using it or not.Quote:

I was of the same opinion until I smashed my screen!Quote:

Especially if it costs 700+ euros :dozey:
Jamie mate, you have no idea, how big is the jump, from the 4s to the 6. You need to try it to believe it ;)
