Anyone bailing for the iPhone 6 or 6+?

[tlgem]

It sure is tempting for a tech nut like me but Ive been there and cant see going back even if its got a bigger screen now.

I'm really hoping that Microsoft will announce a few game changers soon as well. Otherwise, their market share will drop and people will lose interest. The 830 and 735 are great, but not what I would call "game changers". Still waiting for Microsoft's smart watch too...

Nah...I do want a Microsoft watch.
I'll probably get a Ipad mini later in the year.

Please.

The iPhone 6 is not a game changer.

Give me a real upgrade from my 920 on ATT and my money belongs to Microsoft.

It's funny, the 1520 has a better display than the 4.7", is on par with the 6+, just fewer PPI, more memory with SD card, a much better camera and is $100 less.

If the app story was 1:1 MS:Apple, you'd be hard pressed to justify an iPhone.

While I'm not terribly impressed with what Apple put out today, I will say that they continue to hurt WP at least here in the States. Due to the fact that Verizon is the only carrier selling the Icon, the 930 not being available at all, and the 1520 being too big for some, Microsoft doesn't really have a regular sized flagship or phablet flagship accessible to anyone who wants it on any one of the carriers. I love my 1020 but I'm looking for something a little thinner, lighter, and with a faster processor but sadly that's not an option as I won't buy an HTC out of fear of them not providing updates in a timely manner. If I did bail for anything, I think it'd be for the new Moto X.

And I like the 1520 design better. The 6's look like the 925.

Nope. It's an app-launcher OS on a bigger screen.

The M8 is calling me though. I want to get on my family's plan on Sprint though so come on Sprint, let me know when yo9u are getting the M8!

Bracing for flex durability problems with the 6 "Plus"....

What....explain please I have no idea what this means.

Because of the size and thinness of the 6 Plus, it will have larger flex stressors top to bottom (imagine trying to fold it in half) and also corner to opposite corner (twisting). Some 1520's have some "phantom tap" issues for this reason. Apple certainly has top notch engineering, and with the example of the 1520, the benefit of hindsight, but engineering is ultimately the process of managing failure, not necessarily eliminating it. Apple also tends to give an upper hand to design (form) over engineering (function).

I think more than a few iPhone 5/5s screen breaks could be attributed to their flex stability as compared to a user's experience with previous models.

I was but in all honesty I am mot downgrading to a lower res camera and I was really hoping apple would increase the resolution of the ffc. I like the 6plus but I am staying with my 1520. Besides I hate the colors of iPhones.

I like the screen size of the 6 plus but that bezel is awfully big and I'm still interested in seeing the next generation of top-end Windows Phones. At this point, it's probably wait, 6 plus or Note 4. All is subject to playing with various models in the store, of course.

I'm not "bailing" for the iPhone 6, but I could see myself carrying my 1520 AND an iPhone 6 Plus!
No, I'd never "leave" Windows Phone for another platform now, but I don't see why someone couldn't have both. The best of both worlds! Why? Because I can! That, and I'd have access to all those apps that I've been missing (I came to WP after being an iPhone owner for 4 generations - I had the original iPhone, the 3G, the 4, and the 4S) then switched to WP8 when it and the Nokia Lumia 920 came out... Been here ever since! Upgraded to a 1020, and now a 1520 and LOVE this phone! I'll definitely be keeping my 1520 on this line until MS decides to release a real flagship successor. Until then though, no reason why I couldn't get the iPhone 6 Plus on my other line and have both!

Or not.... maybe I'll just wait a little longer... and wait some more.. Come on Microsoft, we're waiting!!!!

If you call the ip6 a game changer, then MS/Nokia released a game changer long ago with the 1520. Basically what the IP6 is But better!

In your opinion, that is.

 

[badMojo69]

If you are into apps then IP6 is better, but I'd have to say being here on WP most of us are not into Apps.
I love my live tiles and Cortana and the IP has nothing to offer me.

It's just crazy to pay almost a $500 premium for the 2 year old tech IP6+ over the sweetness of the Lumia 1520.3.

I'm getting the 6 Plus. I like Windows, but I want a new phone and the 6 plus will hold me over until Microsoft releases their new flagship phone. There's really nothing to lose by getting the new iPhone. When I get bored with it, I can sell it for more than enough to buy off contract whatever is the latest and greatest Windows device. And while I was really close to pulling the trigger on the M8, being an HTC really scared me off. If Microsoft would have released the M8 under the Lumia brand I would have jumped on it and not looked back.
