    current iphone thread is out of date. let's consolidate and make this thread for hardware+software+jailbreak, since they seem to be on the same general timelines and it was split up before.

    My 6+ is the GOAT phone

    Not even fanboying b, my friends Note 4s are beautiful but the UI uses like a size 20 font in a lot of spots. Despite them having bigger screens mine fits more in it

    i can't even fathom having a 6+. ready for upgrade, but hesitant to even make the leap from 5->6 cuz of the size. holding out for apple to realize they alienated some folks and left a portion of their market on the table by not continuing to offer a 4" screen.

    The font size thing is an issue with Android. Really bugs the f--- out of me.

    I have an iPhone 6 coming in the mail. Should get it this week. Been rocking a 4s for almost 3 years now, so the size will take getting use to.

    I had the 5s and recently got the 6+.... It's great especially coming from using Samsung and their crappy Touchwiz and the size is fine too.

    I held off on the 6/6+ as I've been running with the "S" cycle of iPhones since the 3GS. Went from that in 2009 to a 4S in 2011 and then to the 5S last year. I'm still under contract with the 5S and I plan on sticking with it until the inevitable 6S comes next year.

    In all honesty, the 5S, technically speaking, is still quite a capable phone. It was ahead of its time as far as processing power when it came out. Aside from Apple Pay and VoLTE (both of which are in their infancy), there is nothing the 6/6+ can do that the 5S doesn't do equally as well.

    I never jump on when there is a new hardware design because there seems to be issues. The 4 had the antennagate thing, and the 4S fixed that. The 5 had issues with scuffing and the 5S addressed it. The 6 has bendgate, and I'm sure the 6S will fix that.

    Bend gate is stupid af lol. I can bend any phone or device if I want to. There is no way you're going to apply 80 pounds of force in to the center of your phone through every day use.

    But the antenna and scuffing issues were all true, especially the scuffing b.

    New rumors suggesting Apple will release the 6s in March or April and the iPhone 7 in September as with their normal release schedule. This will start a 6 month release cycle which all the main contenders seem to be aiming for nowadays.

    Alkaline
    Eclipse 2
    No Slow Animations
    Winterboard
    YouTube Ads/HQ
    Zepplin (only to hide the carrier.)
