Apple Event - Sept 2014

That may be the case, but having an odd device out makes things difficult, i.e. the iPad does not synch, no iCloud, no proper music integration, missing apps and so on.

Yep, once trapped in iWorld, it's difficult for iSheep to escape... so Apple can charge what they like and it's all iLambs to the slaughter...

I could see that would be a case if your an Apple fan, but music, apps I never find a problem.

I find Apple a little overrated these days.

Very under whelmed with the iWatch, could have been so much more.

It just makes life easy with being able to send a photo straight to your tv, play your music straight on Sonos, or even use siri to open your gates with a Raspberry Pi. All toy value of course, but yes - addictive when it all works together.

Seems fairly priced, 64gb 5S was £709 and the 64gb 6 is £619 so an actual reduction. I will need to judge the size in my hand/pocket to see whether it is for me, I like the idea of extra space but don't have huge hands or the desire for something which won't fit into a jeans pocket.

I still like my Samsung watch, had one for a year now and the newer one recently.....use it quite a lot

Wish IOS on the iPhone would change the interface type and let you customise in visual appeal, the home screen. I hate the boring nature of it

I have a 5S and it is way better quality than the 5 was,which Tim quite rightly said was poor.

I am interested in the 6 but not the 6+. It's just too large for me. As Adam says, if it doesn't fit in jeans pockets it's a no no for me.

 

[Adam D]

The 6 let alone the 6+ looks big, http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Apple-iPhone-6-Plus,Apple-iPhone-6,Apple-iPhone-5s,Apple-iPhone-4,Samsung-Galaxy-S5,Google-Nexus-5/phones/8908,8346,7710,4586,2962,8202,8148

The 6+ will appeal to the Asian market in particular! as they love their 'phablets'. Certainly from what I saw in Malaysia recently, iPhones are way less popular than they are here.

 

[Stark]

You need to look at the emerging markets too. And by that I mean people who are slightly older, ie in the 40s who can afford the phones but have now realised that the iPhone is indeed too small and the bigger one warrants the business,

I am pleased to say, Samsung saw this 2 years ago with the Galaxy Note and did just that.....why have a phone and a tablet, when a larger screen phone can do almost both things. I watch films on my Note 3, and there screen quality is far superior.

Am I going to be buying both iPhones, yup of course I am, and then I will sell em in true Stark style. But I need to know what I'm missing first before I decide,

+1 this was partly why I moved away from the iPhone to HTC as I love stuff like the BlinkFeed for news items and live wallpapers etc which just make the phone more pleasurable to use.

I can never see smart watches really catching on here and a little ironic that manufacturers are making phones larger so that you now need something smaller for convenience lol. I'll stick with the Tag Monaco

I think the announcements are really exciting! I will be buying the smaller iPhone 6 and the Watch when I get back from traveling!

I think there were so many cool concept designs floatng around that the final product just looks a bit boring. I would liked to have seen something different, maybe it looks better in the flesh.

That is a good point....if it did, I'd need the bigger one, cos my arse is huge!
