Every year there is a lot excitement about a "new" iPhone, whatever number it might be. But some inherent flaws remain.
10-4-15 Update:
After a week with iPhone 6s I can say with confidence that it is a good device. Good, but not perfect. I wish that Apple get off anorexia bandwagon and make the phone more ergonomic to hold - you have to buy a silicon bumper to achieve that. Now if Apple built in the bumper which is needed anyways and made it out off battery material that would increase the talk time - that would be fantastic. Oh, and they did add an external battery eventually.
2-4-16 Update:
My wife has been using the iPhone 6s and she is very pleased with it, which makes me pleased as well. I just got off intercontinental video conference call via Line (I am using Lumia 640 with Win8.1) and both phones worked excellent. Lumia 640 was not heating up like Lumia 620 used to. So take your pick - iPhone 6s is a definite pinnacle of status and design, while Lumia 640 is a $59 phone from Microsoft Store. If it was available at this price when I got the iPhone, I would have at least tried it before I parted with my money. But happy wife - happy life, so there is balance in the force.
- Built in obsolescence - no matter how "insanely great" your phone is now, in about a year it will be eclipsed by the next "best iPhone yet".
- Price. iPhone now is Apples cash cow, and you are getting fleeced.
- Did I say new design is just around the corner?
- To maximize your time with the current model that is not carrier locked you have to stand in line at apple store. Time wasted (or pay the bum do it for you, if you dare!)
