    Funny how the next iPhone might be designed against *every other principle the iPhone 5S established*. Whats worse, against the established visions of their creators.

    >Don't want to make phablets not popular enough
    >>Here's the iPhone 6+ everyone!
    >>>Phablet is like wet origami in terms of ruggedness
    >>>>Which is entirely against the original model 6 right?
    >>>>>But no let's slam MS for their budget line
    >>>>>>While Apple has no budget line at all and never will

              It's true isn't it? A lot of developing parts of the world have these ingrate children who think they are on top of their game because their first phone (in their life) was an iPhone.

              Sad world.

                  That prediction was using a sales model that turned out to be grossly incorrect.

                  The Apple Watch is selling less than 10% of what analysts expected.

                        I hope there are not any defects in the handsets. If so many are being made there could be a slight defect in the manufacturing process of the handsets. I sally wait till the beginning of the year during tax return season to buy a handset. I like to buy my Iphones when the new models come out and stay behind. I only did it different for my 6 plus because I wanted a bigger screen.

                          Apple expected to sell tens of millions of Apple Watches, yet it turned out that they're selling less than 10% of what they expected, meaning they haven't even sold 1 million watches yet.

                          I have a strong hunch that Apple will severely undersell the next iPhone now that the the high-end market is supersaturated, carrier subsidies have ended, and the effects of the larger screen are ending.

                            The reason why so many Apple users love their products so much is because the majority of them are actually poor. It's all relative. If you buy something that takes a significant proportion of your saving's account, you're going to cherish it more.

                                  I just don't understand why people only look at two of the phones Samsung makes. They make decent mid rangers and entry levels, I honestly could give a hoot about their premium flagships.

                                  That said, why can't Apple take notes from Samsung or MS and make a premium-quality BUDGET handset? I've experienced the 3GS's support after the iPhone 4 was announced, and it was nothing short of disappointing. Running the latest and greatest OS on an older iPhone is weighed down with increased battery wear, dying touch panel, and worsening signal strength -- and the plastic models didn't even use metal to shield the antennae! What a joke! I wish the iPod era Apple was back.

                                    Harmonica is a citizen of a very poor country and thinks a $600 iPhone is a sign of wealth. If you are diligent enough, you can find his posting history on this site about how 'high-class' Apple is.

                                    The funny thing is, the only people in the US who have Apple products are celebrities or poor people who want to look classy and rich.
                                    All the genuinely wealthy people ($250,000+ salary) have Android phones. All the people working at my wall st. bank use windows instead of macs.

                                        To me, that difference is equal to about 2 hours of working.
