APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 12th 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT | iPhone 15

Stay on unlimited. LTE is lightening fast compared to 3G. You'll end up doing more on your phone for that reason alone. No need for wifi with a constant LTE signal.

Thanks man. Yah I can see myself doing that. Sometimes I'm trying to watch vids on 3G and just give up lol.

Just preordered from Sprint, hopefully it will be here by Friday. Fingers crossed.

6 or 6+? Online or in store? I'm just gonna try my luck on a 6+ in store on Friday.

I got the 6. Hopefully that makes my chances better.

How long is the verizon trade-in going on?

No amount of ads will take away the "cool" factor from Apple. That's been proven year in & year out. How many iPhone, iPod, & iPad killers have came and went in the past 10 years? If you guessed ALL OF THEM then you are correct.

I think the debate here is that Samsung gets by by talking trash/advertising against Apple/iPhone, Apple only advertises it's own products

man i swiched to a note 2 for about a month.. switched right back to my iphone 5.. samsung screen resolution cant touch an iphone.. i dont care what the specs are for there hardware are, just not as nice IMO. 

 

[thadangerousmind]

They should be using that ad money to pay off that billion dollar settlement instead of mocking the phone that has them in the hole for copyright infringement in the first place.

Yea Android does NOT run nearly as smooth as ios, idc what features, widgets, etc comes with it...the openness of android compromises it's performance...hell, our grandparents can pick up an iphone an be up and running in minutes

because apple is smart not to give free advertisement to a company that is trying to keep up with them

 

[stay lurkin]

That Note 4 is off the meat rack though. The only Android phone worth having IMO

 

[a-friend]

Put up a sealed unlocked iPhone 5s for sale on ebay, 30 minutes later, it has 100 bids. Holy ****

What's your high bid right now?

 

[a-friend]

And if I did a preorder to avoid the chaos on RD and to make sure I got a phone, and then they told me any date other than 9/19, I'd cancel the preorder straight up.

I mean isn't the point of a preorder to get the phone on RD.

No way in hell if be okay with an OCT/Nov date when I could walk right into the store and grab. SMH, y'all are tripping for putting up wih that dookie.

 

[stay lurkin]

Yeah can't I just go to a Sprint store and see if I can get one on release day and cancel my in store preorder right there etc if they are available?

 

[heliumclinton]

The chances of the phone not being sold out on release date ..likely

 

[donpoppa]

if anyone has a friend at the apple store talk to them. i have a friend who works there and he told me just to find him inside the store on friday and he will set me up without waiting in line.

He's getting fired. It's gonna be pandemonium at Apple stores. People are gonna be watching for line cutters.

 

[jaymosenvied]

Your friend lied to you. Lines are gonna be monitored and the phones will be watched like a hawk. Plus I don't think they let anybody in until the line dies down.

used to work for apple...and this is the likely scenario. there are a couple of exceptions but yeah.

 

[nothinafta]

man see if you can cop from apple or radio shack on release day or two weeks after than cancel that ish... 

cancel with ATT is really easy to 

man i had the best sounding girl over the phone when i did mine. in my mind im like she prob mad ugly tho...

I tried to cancel it , dude said I couldn't do it , I had to wait till it came in to cancel it

 

[nyc757]

It seems like everyone wants the 5.5 but if your after 4.7 on RD then you should probably be good if you didnt preorder.

Based on the 2 different reps I spoke to at different ATT locations they both arent getting the 5.5 but will have a decent amount of 4.7 on RD

Don't really agree with this. 80% of iphone purchases these days are from upgrades from previous iphones. It's not so much that it's cool, it's just that people are use to it. A lot of the new generation of cell phone owners in their early teens are jumping on the Android ship and will likely stay that way their entire lives. A LOT of iphone users are older folks who have't adapted and evolved with the latest technology and instead are comfortable with the features iphones offer. There is nothing wrong with that.

It's pretty clear that Samsung and Motorola make superior phones from pure spec measurements. At this point, there is a alternate phone that has the iphone specs beatin every single category. The options are there for the consumer to choose.

What Apple does well is the user interface experience for users who need basic, familiar, easy to use functionality. I respect them for that.

4.7 or nothing!

Man I may be off base here but I'd tell them I preordered it with the understanding that it would be here by release day not weeks after.
Them not letting you cancel the order doesn't sound right, I'd talk to someone else if I was you
