Topic: iPhone 6

[johngenx]

you've been working really really hard lately at turning this forum into a miata forum 

... and making me want one too

My general conclusion is that most people who wanted the phones were savvy enough to take advantage of Apple's preorder system to avoid waiting in line. 80% of the people who waited in line were less savvy and looking to make a quick buck by selling it in Asia or other countries where the iPhone 6 is not yet available. I'm watching a bid for an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB, retail price $999 USD sold for $1415. Person made maybe $300 after tax, and it looks like the fellow preordered rather than waited in line for a phone. If one had to wait in line for 3 days, that's $4.17 an hour. Bravo...

I think some people just like standing in line and being the first to get something. It's not for me though. I'd much rather preorder online, but I admit it is kind of annoying that I ordered quite early last Friday and won't get my phone until later this week.

I did preorder. But not an iPhone. I did the new Moto X from the US. Much cooler phone, IMO, then the iPhone 6, much more functional and much cheaper too.

I used to think so too. Everything I have is apple.  But the transition to Android has been quite painless. Except for memory, the Moto X is just way more phone for a lot less money. I just can't see paying $1070 for the 6 plus with 64 gig.

Do not want a 6+ , a 6 will be fine

It's just that Moto X is more comparable to 6 Plus than 6 in terms of display size and resolution.

$1079 is the price point for the 6 Plus 128GB. The 64GB version is $969.

I'm going for the 6 64GB myself for $859. The 6 Plus is not terrible to hold and the screen is absolutely amazing, but it's not an easy phone to use one handed say on transit.

I was including tax when I was talking about the price.

How does the back look? Cause it sure looks about the same as the last from the front.

Looking at your list of cars, I can't fathom what kind of $749-1079 car you'd want. Or is that per month?

[wing]

A spare race car LOL.

Paid $1500 for the last one and $500 for a parts car.

Wing needs to save his money so he can buy the new ~300HP Supercharged H2 engine from Kawasaki for his Radical!!
