when you look at the screen with white borders, it's hella distracting vs black borders.

you'd never get a TV or have a theatre setup with white borders... it's just soooo distracting.

black screen on black face, gives a deeper feel of immersion.

I took my iPad to work and had a call on my cell on vibrate. This ringtone goes off in my cubicle and I was confused for a bit before I figured it out.

but white bezel looks so cleannnnnnn!

it's actually kind of weird how the demand for the space grey is so low. pretty much anytime stock arrives, it's always the SG that's left while everyone snaps up the silver and gold

So what do you guys think of the iPhone 6 so far?
I might be making the switch from a rooted S3, which is still serving me really well.

Yeah, that's the Reachability "feature" that the iPhone 6+ has

The camera

Android phones are great but their cameras have never been their strong point.

Apple has just under 615B market cap and give or take 150B in cash. Apple has some of the brightest execs and designers in the world, including the brilliant and recently acquired Marc Newson. Meanwhile Samsung is still stuck in the plastic era, and the rest of the world stuck with low ppi 720p phones.

Y'all can keep your Chinese OnePlus One (mind you, people were bitching so hard about Chinese phones like Xiaomi, ZTE, and Huawei for the longest time) because clearly some clever marketing, penetration pricing, and flagship specs is what Android fanboys are all about.

I have absolutely nothing against Android, I actually love certain Android phones like Sony's Xperia line and LG's new G3, but sometimes I just feel like Android fanboys have turned into what Apple fanboys were like a few years back.

As for the 6 Plus bending, the 5s bended as well, as well as the 5. What I don't understand is how people manage to bend these phones. Unless your thighs are made of steel and are hella curvy, I wear skinny jeans and I keep my 5s in my front pocket all the time, I have never bent my phone, I also have hockey thighs. Also, the only customers that ever came in with bent phones that I've had to deal with were young ladies, presumably keeping their phones in their back pockets so...I don't know what you guys are doing if you manage to bend your phone.

And in the rare case that you actually somehow do manage to bend your phone anytime within one year, bring it to any Apple Store anywhere in the world and get it instantly swapped out, or with AppleCare+, anytime within 2 years. What happens when you break your Android phone? Have fun dealing with an online customer service rep who really couldn't care less with your RMA process.

Services > specs

/rant
doesn't value specs, call out others for being fanboys, then pulls out the ppi dick comparsion

ip4's retina display was impressive in 2010, since then ppi is no longer apple's strong suit and they're simply playing catch up. For me, quality of the display is more important than pixel count and their IPS is still considered top notch.

you can have all the money in the world for R&D, doesn't matter which brand, to date thin aluminum form factor with large displays will exhibit bending for those that don't take good care of it. I'm sure now that it's int he spotlight manufacturer will figure it out for future hardware releases.

As guys generally carry around phones in their pocket, thinner is always better to a certain point, I feel the 1cm + case is a good balance between stowing away in your pocket and being able to grip the damn thing comfortably

marketing and invite system aside, I don't know how anyone can hate on the 1+1. Flagship specs and good build quality for $300...competition and an affordable option is good for everyone even if it's just a blip to Apple and Samsung, unless you're a shareholder/employee.

Customer service isn't comparable because of the small family of products and physical presence of stores, to me they're only good for the technically illterates that go "HALP my phone is stuck on the homescreen!"

Perhaps someone can chime in about Windows phone and their customer service experience at microsoft stores...probably not that far off from applecare

Apple hiring better structural engineers



They also did a big press tour, trying to temper the "bendgate" storm.
