| ![]() Although I don't like this new iPhone, people will still buy it (cuz, dude! Its an iPhone). It looked like Apple was lying to me throughout the whole keynote. The photos were not taken by an iPhone. The camera remains the same, but it is all new. The screen is 4.7" big (right that's big), it has a resolution of 750p, a Note 4 is 4K and it is speculated to cost less, there is payment using NFC, first phone to do that according to Apple! Plus they don't care about their existing customers, throughout the presentation they made my 5S look like an idiot's phone. The new iWatch is $350, what were they thinking when they priced, they must have gone "You either get the phone or the watch" Still have to get wifey iPhone 6 for her B'day Last edited by thebfg : 10th September 2014 at 15:49. |

| ![]() Apple has achieved what marketeers call 'aspirational class'. Which means people desire it far more at a higher price even if its features & quality more or less match the competitors. Its human psychology that if u can afford it, you want the best item that looks good, feels good & is talked about amongst your peers most as an upmarket object, not a common one. Works for watches, phones, tablets, cars, apartment, furniture etc. |

I think you should go for the 6+ rather than 6, since you are already crossing the 50k INR barrier. | |

![]() That said, Apple has always been blowing its own trumpet, and whilst some things are truly excellent and well thought out, others are just over-exaggerated and made to sound 10x better than they actually are. For existing iPhone users, there's no doubt that all of these things (esp bigger screens) will be a nice upgrade. More so, iOS 8 brings some excellent 'new' functionality to the platform. Custom keyboards!!! cya R @ajay_satpute - the 6+ is 5.5". The 6 is 4.7" (like the Nexus 4). Last edited by Rehaan : 10th September 2014 at 16:42. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() At 55k, I think I will go with Xiaomi Mi4 when it launches. Or the Nexus 5. |

| ![]() Few thoughts from Apple Event: iphone6/6+: Good upgrade for iphone5s users iOS8: Good evolution for Apple Apple Watch: Yet another aspiration offering from Apple, nothing new but excellent design For me the biggest announcement was Apple Pay. Apple seem to have cracked the mobile payment, without upsetting existing stakeholders. Most likely it is going to take off and if it does, then bye bye cash, credit and other cards.

| ![]() I have been using Iphone 4 since 2009 and let me tell you that it is still working like a charm save the recent hiccups after upgrading to the latest IOS and the last ios upgrade for IP4. For people like me I think it makes sense to upgrade to IP6/IP6+ particularly since I like to keep stuff for longer time like cars and I think the quality of iphones do keep up for longer durations. |

I personally find the IOS 7.1.2 little buggy, esp. when its related to the notification center. | |
