Waiting for iPhone 6/6+ pre-order pajama party!

[alex.shimp]

I'm sure there is a developer out there right now creating a third-party keyboard to solve the one-handed typing issue with the 6 Plus.

I think swiftkey already has one ready to go when iOS8 comes out I loved that keyboard when I had my note 2

I was thinking about it, but not quite sure just yet.

I think I will start with the Blue or the Red one. Then maybe if Otterbox does a battery case for it.

my first pre order but ive had all the iphones besides 4s and 5s. my question is what the best place to pre order from? apple or carrier?

Depends. I've always done the carrier. Also, if you are buying on Edge (Verizon), you can't go through Apple.com.

BTW - Anyone listening to the new U2 album? First chance I've had to sit an listen to it. Pretty good.

I enjoyed it. Some tracks sounded a bit rough to me, which I thought was strange. Almost like they didn't have them done at a larger studio. Goes with my other U2 songs though.

I did actually and I like it!

I'm so ready. Trying to pick a color right now. The 5s was the first iPhone I've had that wasn't white. I don't know if I'm going for the space grey or the gold. I have 46 minutes to decide lol.

Actually this year if you have Next or Edge you can use apple.com

I'm awake and ordering for me and my husband while he and the kids are asleep. Brutal....

You understand, I'm trying to keep my eyes open, while my wife lays next to me snoring.

 

[iknrisms]

im going with no cases i always do

I was thinking the same especially with it being much bigger (hopefully making it easier to manage/hold) but at least to get accustomed to the larger size while protecting against potential falls

Question... do I need to be wearing pajamas to join the party?

 

[Dennisgarcia]

I'm getting the 128 GB iPhone 6 plus with the midnight blue case lol

 

[jake501]

both will be slow, i recommend just having both open and trying if the other fails.

yep.. also will be trying on the Apple store app...

 

[Redshirt]

Okay. That's it. Time to decide.

I am going with the 6 Plus.

Thanks to you all for bearing with all my questions. You were all quite helpful. I was worried about the texting and bulk but I think the Pro's outweight the Con's. Also, I feel like if you are going to make the plunge to a bigger display, might as well go all the way.

Somewhat defeats the theory of going with smaller gadgetry, but who cares.

For smartphones, screen is everything, and smaller isn't better, within reason. Think of the watch demo, trying to do pinch and zoom.

I brought a tech friend to iMore, hope he stops in to say hello.

If we preorder today are we going to get it on the 19th for sure??

yepp

 

[beef1218]

Also for AT&T customers, if you preorder now and still want to trade in your current device, you can still do that for some bill credit at anytime after next Friday when your new phone comes in. Good condition 5S gets $300 and good condition 4, 4S, and 5 get $200

I think only trading in 4 or 4S is worth it. 5 and 5S worth much more than the trade-in value.

 

[joelrami]

Even if we get it delivered to our house instead of picking it up?

 

[piranhadonna]

Of course you do. Can't have a pajama party without pajamas.

Question... do I need to be wearing pajamas to join the party?

 

[iknrisms]

Anyone going to select the in-store pickup option or just shipping to home??

I hear hints of all their older stuff. It's U2. Even their worst is better than most current acts out there. Ok, maybe not their absolute worst album, but you know what I mean...
