Your thoughts on the iPhone 6+?

The battery on my 3 (or is it a 4) lasts all day with heavy use or days with moderate use.

Old technology bad, new good!

 

The batteries in the 5 aren't known for being all that good. My 6 will go all day with no real issue. Why not just keep a charger at work just in case?

 

That's like 150 in dog years.

 

or like 3,000 in apple years

 

my battery in the 5s was fine, the one in the 6 is fine. i'd say i'm a heavy user.
what i don't like on the 6, is that somehow the typing doesn't work properly, although the screen is a tad wider.
on the 5s, I nailed the words, on the 6 i have typos all over.

maybe i should get a smatphone.

 

I've got chargers at work and at home, and in my car too.

The problem is that if at work out of the office I can't always count on being able to find an outlet to plug into. I got totally jammed up in NYC a coupe of weeks ago and nearly missed a few connections b/c the phone died.

Bottom line is that I need a bit more reliability.

But the cost is absurd: $24 per month for 30 months = $720 for the 6+. Yikes!

 

you can always get an aux charger pack:

Two of us used the Ballistic BackPack to keep our phones charged over a 4 day work trip (probably could have gone longer). I was impressed.

 

You just nailed the reason why, although I was satisfied with my iPhones (other than the 5, which clunked out early and had a horrible battery), I switched to a Galaxy Note 4, which is great in terms of battery life PLUS has a swappable battery (so you can carry a spare). It also has a blazingly fast charger.

I was initially concerned that the transition couldn't be easy or smooth and, in fact, it was not that complicated. Now I feel I'm free to choose whichever works bests, whether it's an Apple or an Android...

 

Price shipped to 14202?

 

I've had the 6+ for about 3 months--seemed big at first, now I'm used to it and it rocks--the 6 looks way too small.

Warning--get the applecare deal--this new design fairs much worse in minor drops--even in a case--I learnt the hard way. Fortunately, Apple replaces the screen for $129 on the 6+--lucky for me they jacked it up and gave me a new phone under warranty:up::up:

 

the 5's had issues, the 6+ works like a champ, big screen to see instagram and facebook with long battery life

 

+1

 

you mean the 5 wasn't supposed to shut off when it displayed 39% :down:

known battery issues on the 5 was enough for me to get a 6+

 

Seriously, mine will say 79%, I'll sneeze and the damn thing will say 19% and two seconds later it will die.

 

+1 :up:

 

I'm in the same boat. iPhone 3.

What's the potential upgrade that they are coming out with in September? I may hold out until then.

My girlfriend has the 6 and loves the battery life. She's a realtor and on her phone for work most of the day. Phone, Text, email, etc. So far, for her functionality, it's way above her iPhone 4.

 

Based on your geography, you're kinda fscked...
