As I mentioned in the Friday post we are going to check out the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, don't know if I'll get one but our carrier here is offering it at a really sick low price, FREE if you sign the 2 year contract! My iPhone 5 has only 8 months left on the contract. Our monthly bill for would go from about $150 a month (unlimited data and we talk for free to six other phones, and for a reduced price to anyone with the same carrier) and that is for my iPhone 5 and the wife's iPhone 5s, if we both switched over our bill would be maybe $165 a month, so we are thinking about it.
Has anyone taken the plunge?
I would get a good case for the phone, I have the Element Sector 5 case on my iPhone 5 now and some of the extra strong glass screen protector, both were a great investment, the phone is still in great shape, the case and that glass have taken a beating, but the phone is mint.
They will have cases for the iPhone 6 out in October, hey that is now!
The cases for the iPhone 6+ are in the pipeline.
So if I get the a new iPhone my choice would be between the iPhone 6 or the 6+
I hope to go and fondle, err.... handle one tomorrow, and see if the much larger 6+ is too large.
To be honest the telephone function on my smart phone is just a part of the phone, I don't even use it much anymore, really, got to have it, but the functionality of the other parts of the device are really important to me, the Google Maps function has saved my bacon for getting somewhere MANY times, driving, walking or on the trains here, and the various apps make it really part of my daily life, I have a board foot calculator on the thing for crying out loud!
I use my wife's iPad mini in the house a LOT and I like it, for reading a book or listening to a podcast/music to surfing the web to find something, so I'm wondering if the larger 6+ is the way to go.
Any input would be great!
Cheers!
