First time iPhone user here, 6S. Im very happy with mine. Probably won't consider an upgrade until the 7S is available, just because of my purchasing cycle.
My Sprint Lease is up in Oct so I will get a new one. I will get the 7Plus this time. Since I retired I can carry a larger phone and not look silly at a client meeting. And it is nice to use HUD apps at night on road trips. The only thing I hate about upgrading is the Apple Tax. That is having to buy new charger cables for the cars when they change the hook up systems. The Apple accessories are always twice the price of items for the other phones.
I have the 16g 6s i really don't take much pictures! Lol but if I do upgrade I think it would be better to wait until the 7s. Or at least till 2017! 2017 marks the iPhone's 10th anniversary so it should be a dramatic change.
Were you in/around/using Apple products for the last 20 or so years[?]
Steve was a brilliant innovator, salesman (as well as <insert_asshole_behaviors_here>), but there were plenty of bugs in products - and total misfires - during his tenures (pre and post NeXT) - just like there's been plenty of bugs in MS products, *NIXs, hardware/software issues from all manufacturers.
Mostly things have just gotten more complex, there's more visibility, huge user bases, I don't know that Steve's presence would've shaken things up that much, and 95% of the products from the last 5 years were in process (design/engineering) under his guidance way before he left due to his illness.
That being said, Apple still provides me with the best end-to-end experience for personal and professional use, the latter includes significant development cycles. :cheers:
I am still using an old Samsung S4, that was just recently replaced. Wife got a new 6 for work and she loves it. So I am planning on finally upgrading when they come out...couldn't be any worse than the POS I have that won't make calls half the time.
Ok, since a new iPhone thread is here may be you know guys how to do it. I would like to restore iPhone to the factory defaults but then I ONLY want to restore the contacts. I guess the problem that the phone has now is buried inside the backup copy what I transfer from one iPhone to another when I replace them (when I click reply to the email the phone freezes for a good minute and then unfreeze and let me write a reply). It was like that on 6s, 6, 5. So I would like to start with a scratch but only to have all my contacts available. HOW?
I generally do every other, and we try to stay on the "tock" / 2nd Gen / S, since that tends to be the better flavor of a major hardware cycle.
I did break this with the 4S -> 5 -> 5S, then skipped the 6 and waited for the S variant. We have 6S and 6S+ models (his/hers), very happy with them.
Though with the 7 not being perceived as a major update (due to the packaging being roughly the same), it's probably a good opportunity to get a decent price for our S models. My plan was to keep them till the next generation (which will be a *huge* update), then just migrate them into our pools of devices (I'm a dev, so having extra devices is nice, plus an iPhone without cellular service makes a killer little tablet/iPod touch, TV/automation remote, etc. )
