We sure about that Chetan?! Well looks like the iOS 8 beta is going to be bringing me out of my iMore hibernation. I'm super excited for the new additions especially quick reply and inter app communication yeah!

The only thing that really interested me was the integration with their Desktop OS (Calling and Texting from the phone even if it's on the charger across the room).
The rest was meh, cause it's basic stuff that I've been using elsewhere since forever.
I was actually more interested in iOS 8 than I am in the next iPhone, as long as the screen is 4.5-5" that didn't matter matter as long as the internals are at least as good as a 5S. I just needed to see what they were bringing software-wise, and I think the main point of iOS 8 is Continuity. The features are meh to me, and justify a version upgrade. But they didn't seem to be the real focus of things in the Keynote.
Moving forward, I don't even see a point in getting an iPhone if I'm not going to use a Mac as well. They seem married now - almost like a Playbook and a Blackberry smartphone. Almost...
Ugh, this has really thrown a wrench into my hopeful upgrade plans. Guess I keep looking.

You've only been gone for a week or two. The other guys had been gone for months.
I have an iPhone and an iPod Touch 5th generation and I don't have a Mac. You don't need a Mac to enjoy iOS devices.
It's not about enjoying the device, it's about getting the maximum value out of it. And the fact is it's getting a LOT harder to do that with iOS devices when you own other devices running dispirate platforms.
I don't pay a premium for a second rate user experience. $750 is a lot to pay for a device that is functionally crippled simply because I didn't buy my computer from Apple.
Do you know his reddit name?
Well now that the iPhone can have a proper relationship with a Mac there will be a lot of people thinking about going fully Apple
I use three platforms myself and I don't feel like I have a second rate experience. It's my chose but it would be more productive
My tablet use is low so getting a Mac might be my best recourse
It is an entry drug. Using Windows machines my entire life I wouldn't have gotten a Mac had it not been for using an iPhone and then iPad after that.
I don't know, I have no intention on getting a Mac even though family has 6 Idevices in total.

It caused me to get a Mac.
