    Undecided on Buying? What's Keeping you from pulling the trigger?

    Need to charge daily and the rumors that Moto 360 might be released for iPhone kept me from preordering. Then, ha, my older son, knowing my passion for gadgets , told me he'd disown me if I ordered one. Guess he hasn't bought into the concept.

    Who DIDNT decide to get the  watch?

    Battery life. Even though I switched back to iPhone last fall specifically to get the iwatch, when I found out less than a day for Battery life I decided to wait for other options in the future. Charging daily is a hassle, I don't think it would last on my longer bicycle training / events, and...

    Who can't wait to show off their Apple watch?

    It's certainly not attractive compare to other smartwatches showing off? I don't think so.

    iPhone 6 Plus bent.... Now what?

    I started with the Palm Pilot many moons ago and have had ALL the large Galaxy Notes and a bunch of others in between....however, my iPhone 6+ I've owned since November was slightly bent/curved. Of the 20+ smartphones I've owned my wonderful IP+ was the only one that bent. So when people say...

    Next iPhone.

    I'm selling my iPhone 6+ soon and buying a iPhone 6 for summer wear (wearing shorts, running, biking). When Fall arrives I'll sell the iPhone 6 and return to the 6+ since I'll be wearing clothes with more pockets.

    Are there any marks/scratches on your device?

    Yes. Hard to see unless I rotate it under a light but it has 2 scratches. Only thing I can think of is the zipper on some of my winter jackets. I've owned about 15 smartphones over the last few years, have never used a screen protector, never scratches on any of these except my Note 4 and NOW...

    Do you still carry a tablet?

    Yes. Since the 6 Plus was so close in size to my iPad Mini 2 I traded for an iPad Air (last year's version). Use the Air around home to do some business so I don't have to be anchored to my iMac in my home office.

    How is your iPhone holding up?

    One month ownership and VERY happy with my iPhone 6 plus and it's in perfect condition except it does have a slight curve/warp (bent ?) to the frame lengthwise. I've owned most major smartphones starting with the palm pilot and every Samsung Note phone and none have warped except my 6 Plus...

    Chrome or Safari

    Safari on IOS because the control arrows are on the bottom of the screen. Easier for my thumbs to reach on the large ip6+ screen.

    How long does it take for the oilaphobic coating to wear off?

    My phone wouldn've been returned already with the screen issues you mention.

    What case are you using for your iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?

    So many cases to choose from but I am currently using... Apple's leather case (like the size a lot) or Otterbox symmetry (wouldn't consider it thin but it is not too bad)

    iOS needs to add a refund system like Google play store

    Certainly don't want the FTC involved BUT I will say Google Play's refund within 15 minutes (or whatever it is lately) was a very nice feature.

    IOS apps not using dynamic type

    Really enjoying my 3 week old Iphone 6+ but find it frustrating that many of the major apps that I used in Android don't use the "Dynamic Type (scaled fonts)" feature of IOS? What's up with the razor thin super tiny characters??? Evernote is a good example (yes you can zoom into a previously...

    Any Note refugees? Will you miss the stylus?

    Kinda. For these reasons... 1. Used it primarily to scratch out a quick memos (i.e. grocery list) or reminders. (on my 6Plus I now use my finger w/Notability app for simple things/todo's for the day). 2. Easily taking notes during a business meeting (most missed feature) on my Note (2,3...

    Cleaning 6 Plus

    I've done this forever but just want to caution that this was how I scratched the screen of my 3week old Note 4. I had been working in the garage using playground sand to clean up some oil spills and I guess the sand on my jeans scratched my Note4. Oh well...that's why I ended up with a IP6+...
