Do you really wanna know what's funny? It's samsung lg Nokia users getting on Apple stuff before Apple users, but they get funnier when they start commenting lol

[markusn]

Its funny because samsung came out with these sizes years ago

[andydogdixon]

I have managed my business with these for many years now and am very pleased with the results. No point in changing for me. Best to all, Mark.

"Retina HD" hahahaha. Sure Apple, sure.

[BeyondGreatnessHD]

iPhone... WTF!?!?! I hate the new design its so ugly and way to massive for iPhone.... really wtf

[andydogdixon]

I have always preorder all the iPhones shortly after midnight. This is my ritual and I have loved doing it. I will order 6 plus tonight. I will do the same thing with the watch. I am sure all the other companies have great phones but I have never seriously considered them. I have managed

Its funny to me how people with iPhones complain and make fun of people with Android phones and when Apple comes out with the same features that have been done before they think it's something that hasn't been done before trust me people take a look at every android phone and see its the same and don't say they just put it all in one phone

For the Apple users who have never been drunk in their lives, this is how a hangover feels like.

Everyone saying they want bigger iphones now they complain about other stuff

I don't know why anyone would want one of those giant iPhone 6+ phones. I am gonna get the regular iPhone 6 (hopefully on launch day, if the Apple store isn't sold out), but even it seems a little too big. Steve Jobs once said that 3.5" is the ideal size of a smartphone because it is the most comfortable in your hand, and I think I'd agree since my current iPhone 5S actually feels kinda big on its own. I wish Apple would make a normal size screen for people who want a comfortable phone to hold in their hands. If I wanted something giant like the iPhone 6+, I'd get an iPad.

The less popular phones are still better than the "popular" phones.

What a time to be alive.

[tylerwebster]

I'm getting it as soon as it becomes available.

[DudeGamer]

Wow.. 5.5 inch I mean this is THE revolution smart phone for sure. Way to go Apple for making something revolutionary.

I miss the old design but the iphone 6 plus still looks good

[mandyata]

I like Apple, but for my personal use I prefer the Note 3. I've had it for over a year, uninstalled/disabled ALL the bloatware and it hasn't failed me since! 
I like the new iPhone design, reminds me of the iPhone 2G (my personal favorite). Looks like the simple reliable iOS is getting better every iteration, and I have no doubt the bigger screen on the 6+ (1080 HD) will please iFans. All in all, Apple has done a good job. 

Now in other news, Note 4 has some serious hardware! Bring on the comparisons! 

[mister.tomfoolery]

"if you're not andre the giant" LOL

[thedivinehostess]

I like the new memory options! Def getting 64gb

Wow, that double-tap is actually a quite smart solution!

Curious if Apple actually came up with this or it was in Android before as well?

[aoibheannodwyer]

Any 1 else waiting for the 6 to come out so the 5s will be cheeper😂 I'm buying the 5s👏 the 6 looks crap it's to big and looks like a Nokia blockia😂👏
