but you want closer to 400 or more if you want better VR experience

VR hasn't taken off yet, especially in iOS.

Well they didn't say anything when they upgraded the RAM in the iPad Air 2 so who knows.

 

 

It can make a difference for video and low light photos.

 

 

I was talking about the functionality. You will still end up blocking your screen with your finger when you do a preview, and a lot of the things they showed do not have to rely on pressure sensitivity to work.

I will remain skeptical. I wouldn't be surprised if very few people use it more than a few times to check it out, and the things they end up using could have been implemented without 3D touch (like the sliding through the gallery).

 

 

 

HOLY CRAP Apple really pulled out all the stops with this phone.

128GB of RAM? Damn...

 

 

 

Damn... That's a pretty big step backwards.

They should have just made the sensor bigger, but I guess profit margins are more important.

I remember when Phonearena did comparison between the 6 and 6+ a year ago they stated that the difference wasn't that huge, but noticeable.

Damn, you gotta pull a loan through Citizen's One in order to go through the iPhone upgrade program.

The camera and Force Touch actually makes me interested in switching.

How is iTunes now? Do you have to use it with an iPhone still or can you be close to independent from it? (When moving files to the phone etc. I know updates have gone independent)

Well the Iphone 6S tiny mogwai battery even with the "low" resolution screen seems by me the worst thing they did. And that 16Gb base model must be a pain for Iphone users.... So whos camping outside an Apple Store xD?

Actually, with iOS 9 being smaller and App Thinning with it I'm curious to see what part of the 16GB is actually usable now.

have you figured out whether you will be getting the s+ or s?

 

S+ (with information that we still have)

-larger screen

-higher resolution

-OIS (maybe in the regular 6s now?)

-much better battery life (I heard the 6+ is a beast)

Well I had an iPod Touch from 2009 to end of 2011, then an iPhone through the whole of 2012 (been on Android since), every time I had to open iTunes I hated it. 

Although it have gotten better that I know. 

That price though.

Theres 4K video now. Some people are gonna need that 128Gb i believe... not just for status or to say that they have an Iphone and wanna make others jealous because its the highest capicity one of course.

OIS is only the 6s+ (check the spec page) 

 

and probably the 6s+. I'll preorder from verizon, and worst case scenario i'll exchange it for the 6s.

I really dislike how Apple refuses to give the iPad Mini equivalent specs to the iPad (non Mini). At the very least they should throw an A8x into the mini 4 instead of a normal A8.

wut? isn't the mini 4 a mini 3 with the air 2 specs?

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

The mini 4 has an A8, not the X version. If it did it would burn a hole trough the back of the iPad and leave you with like 5 hours of battery life. Not that that matters since you have a hole in the back, but still.

Yes, there's a reason selfies sticks are popular enough for them to get banned at major gathering events like music concerts.

Sadly, yes.

I've heard lots of people call the front facing camera a "selfie cam" as well.

i connected my iPhone 5s like 4 times with the PC i think. 

Not much needed for file transfer, i mostly use Dropbox for small stuff, Music, Pics, E-Mails gets synced via WiFi over iCloud (which works very well between iPhone>PC and iPhone>iPad!). 

 

 

I like iTunes. I use it as daily musicplayer. Specially for Apple music, since i got the 3 month free. 

Doesn't freeze like in the old days 

 

 

I'll get the 6S 64GB. Got the reservation for preorder from Telekom here in Germany. I hope i don't have to wait too long.
