I had to walk one of my secretaries through this offer, who also saw the "free" Verizon mailer on the 6, and was excited to get her "free iPhone". It looks like an enhanced trade-in offer, and nothing more. Getting $200 for a 4s is nice, but the new phone is definitely not "free". The credit is...

One other very interesting thing about the 6: http://betanews.com/2014/09/24/if-your-iphone-6-or-6-plus-bends-its-apples-fault/

Originally Posted By: Hokiefyd . . . I wish Apple'd put the 6's internal hardware in a 4 or 5 sized footprint. A modern 64-bit processor and speedy hardware with a 3.5" screen? Sign me up. Don't fret it. This year's model change was not a major processor upgrade. From what I've learned, the...

Schmoe, Between the compressed formats and the portable players that have taken over, most people have been so deprived of high quality two-channel audio for so many years at this point, that it is a total REVELATION when they hear it again. Many youngsters have yet to hear higher resolution...

Sled, Most aftermarket rebuilt axles are garbage. If you had one of them, you would likely have known fairly quickly (2-3 years max). Fortunately, most decent Volvo indys know this and avoid them. I know my indy does. If your indy used a reputable replacement axle, you should be fine with a...

Tbird, It sounds like you had enough space all along, and were simply in Apple's download "queue". This was just released, and the download demand on the servers has been heavy. If there is not an available download when you demand one, it places your device "in queue"' and downloads the...

Originally Posted By: Vikas What in the name of the God, iPhone asks for 4GB free space before allowing an upgrade? Does anybody know how long it will take to download 4GB to start the upgrade? The download itself is anywhere between 800mb and 1.2gb, depending on the device and feature set...

Finally got to see a 6 in the flesh. Very nice, very thin, but to me very big. Too big. About the size of an old handheld calculator. Very glad we got the 5s. Other than the payment feature, they both worked equally quickly and I didn't think the 5s was a step down, just smaller. The build...

Nowadays, a dedicated CD player, even a high end model, is a total waste of money. I have a CEC transport collecting dust at this point. The better way is to bit-perfect rip all your media to HDD/SSD storage (provided it is legal to do so), and then stream it on demand to a media player. As...

Now, I'm NO expert on this, but I've been told the "scent" of any cologne is supposedly shaped in part by the sweat and other "skin chemistry" of the wearer. So any cologne/perfume smells a little different on each person. Sniffing from the bottle is apparently not the same. YMMV, and who knows...

I know they're passe, but the perfect LxW for me remains the 4. The 5 is taller, but narrower. But it's close enough. I look at footprint and weight with cell phones. Everything since the 3gs has been thin enough for me. If dropped, a thinner phone only concentrates impact force. Didn't Jobs...

I don't think the 6 is worse than a 5s for viewing. It's bigger, so is certainly better. But if I can't comfortably read an iPad mini, an iPhone 6 won't be any better for me. There's no sense in going to a bulkier phone that is still a PITA to read. I will on exceedingly rare occasion play...

I want NO parts of this technology.

Tbird, I do think providers are very aggressively pushing people to the 6 for whatever reason. But I got a nice price slash on a 5s, as it's "last year's phone". And we were short a phone, so waiting around for 6 delivery was going to become a problem anyway. Last I checked, pre-orders are now...

Apollo14, If your team's wrong, Al Gore, Michael Mann and Phil Jones should be exiled to Antarctica -- in their underwear. And no, I will not share our blankets with you when that happens. Our two Goldens leave hardly a corner for me and the wife already.
