    Intonation

    I asked Siri to read my text messages and I was blown away by how improved her intonation has gotten over the robotic monotone I've been used to.

    Why did Apple discontinue the 32 GB iPhone Models?

    Re: Why did Apple discontinue the 32 GB Iphone Models? They used to sell the $449 phones with 8GB, so I doubt they'll sell the $399 phone with more than 16GB. They have to justify the markup some how!

    Why did Apple discontinue the 32 GB iPhone Models?

    Re: Why did Apple discontinue the 32 GB Iphone Models? They used to charge $100 more for 32GB, now you get 64GB for that price. Even the 32GB 5s was $499, now the 64GB SE is $499. I'm guessing that in the next cycle, the 16GB models will be replaced by 32GB models, at least for the top end.

    I'm ready to switch to iPhone

    Also, you should be able to sync with an Exchange server, that's pretty standard.

    I'm ready to switch to iPhone

    The SE is supposed to be generally better than the 6, aside from being smaller. There are many journaling apps, including one named Journey, although maybe not the same. I don't know any that use json. You can search the app store on the web before you get an iPhone. There is a basic...

    Re: why phone has vertical lines I agree, this is common if your screen is defective and may be covered under warrantee.

    Where is your phone? Post tracking info here

    As expected, it came while I was out, at 3pm, but someone was here to receive it. I stopped by the Apple Store on the way home to see the Plus first hand and compare the two. My iPhone 6 was waiting for me when I got home, and now I'm on hold with AT&T so I can change the phone number. If they...

    It would be nice if they did this with the delivery trucks so we can watch them drive around and get closer to us.

    Just woke up and saw it arrived in CA an hour ago. Now It has to just cross a bridge. Interesting to use the new iOS 8 keyboard.

    People who purchased through AT&T?

    I don't know why you're paying only 50-some per phone, but you would be paying different tax rates. I paid $60 sales tax in CA for a 16 GB iPhone 6.
