I thought an iPhone 6 would change my life

[dexteroni]

We had no plans to upgrade, then we saw them in person last night and now I've been thinking about upgrading all day. lol.

[shell403b]

I'm just glad I went with the 6 and not the 6+ -- I saw it today (and held it) and it's OMG too big.

Sorry that you're finding the battery crappy. That doesn't make me happy.

[raangoli]

Crappy battery? Ugh. Here I thought that a new phone was the answer to my woes.

I'll just buy all the other stuff to fill the void in my life.

[orangeblossom]

The bad battery is disappointing. I thought I read it was an improvement.

Could you fill the void in your life with another fine Apple product? Or perhaps a Tesla or trip to costco? #stockholderproblems

I thought improved battery life was one of the big selling points of the 6. How poorly has yours been performing?

Are you per chance selling a Mophie for an iphone 5?

Have you played with predictive text yet? It has already given me hours of enjoyment.

I'm loving mine, but I upgraded from a 4 so it's a huge improvement! I'll have to try the battery out on a heavy use day, but so far it's a million times better than my old battery.

Predictive text is the best thing ever!

@crackhabit how much?

I just activated mine this morning. Can't wait to play with it tonight when I have more time.

I was all set to be blasé about the 6 coming out, but my 4S has really slowed down in the last week or so. I know there's an iOS update available, but I've heard it doesn't play nicely with 4/4S. So I'm probably going to upgrade to the 6 as soon as the rush slows down. I've had an upgrade available all summer, but didn't take it because summer is when I'm riding my bike the most miles with my phone in my jersey (whether it's sunny or raining).

Susie -- not to pressure or anything, but depending on your carrier you may be better off ordering now to maximize your trade-in on the 4s. Verizon, for example, will offer a very generous $200 for it -- if you order by 9/30. (That said, these things are back ordered so you maybe wouldn't get one quickly even if you order now)

I hadn't even thought about that, thanks.  We're with Verizon, so that is worth considering.

This is the deal for the $200 trade-in on Verizon:

The appraised value includes a promotional offer that requires a purchase of an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus on Verizon Wireless by 9/30/2014. Your device must be mailed to Verizon Wireless within 7 days after receiving the new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus but no later than 12/01/2014.


Outside of the iPhone 6-specific offer, Verizon is giving $90 for a 64GB 4s.

Does it matter what size iphone 6 you get? In the offer it only mentioned the 16GB.

From what I understand, no.  I think the reason why they're emphasizing the 16GB 6 promotionally is that it is the "free" phone (since it is $199 and the rebate is $200).  If you want a bigger 6 or a plus, money will come out of your pocket.

(Though to be fair, you'll pay sales tax (in most states) plus the bullshit upgrade fee either way, so even the 16GB isn't exactly free).

6 or 6+?

Just the 6. The 6+ seemed too big for me!
