Carmichael Dave: My iPhone 6+ review
I'm not one of those I NEED THE PHONE NOW guys.
About two months ago, I dropped my phone while on vacation, and got the famous spiderweb effect, which isn't a good thing. Now, I'm on my phone more than anyone I know. Anyone. I live on this thing. I'm probably going to die of some phone-related disease in a few years that we just don't know about.
I was caught in phone no mans land. I didn't want to pay the money to get the glass fixed (yes it was an iPhone), not with knowing that a new phone would be coming out in a few short weeks. So I waited. And waited. Got through all the nerd froth leading up, and sat through the dumb Apple reveal video that didn't stream properly and had a female Asian translator talking over Tim Cook as he was presenting the newest innovation in phone. Didn't super-excite me, but then I saw the Watch, which comes out next year and I'm sure will have a review forthcoming.
Let me make one other note. I waited a couple paragraphs to make sure those I'm about to talk to were all lathered up, so hopefully the words will sink in and have full effect.
My last phone was an iPhone. My new phone is an iPhone. Yes, you have an Android. Congratulations. Here's a nifty guide for you to navigate the rest of this article:
1. I am aware of Android phones.
2. I understand them, I've used them, I'm not tech challenged.
3. I'm not an Apple disciple, I don't have a Steve Jobs poster on my ceiling.
4. You explaining how awesome your phone is, and how behind the times I am, only makes you look stupid. I'm not going to break into your home, and yell at you for having a different TV or stereo system than I. So save your sage advice.
I've never understood the phone wars amongst people. I like them in a sense, all I have to do is go on Facebook and find the Android vs iPhone threads to narrow down the people I don't like. Its a phone.
You have your phone, I have mine. Shut your face.
You aren't enlightening me. You aren't saving me. So please shut up.
The iPhone 6 Plus is a house. Its not a phablet, its a 4x4. I decided to get the bigger model, well, because it was bigger. The idea of being able to watch things slightly larger and have 1x321 more gigawatts on my pixel stream was attractive. Little did I know I was buying a TV tray with a speaker.
Don't get me wrong, I've had it 24 hours and am still getting used to it. One other issue I have? Awesome that the new phone came out, but can you go ahead and work with some manufacturers on the side to get some cases ready to go out of the chute? Walking around with this phone without a case is like taking a stroll with a thousand dollar bill stuck to your back with a post-it. Scary.
The redeeming thing for me is I have go-go gadget fingers, so I can actually spider my digits across the face of the phone and get away with it. But if you don't possess rubber hands, maybe the smaller model is for you.
To be continued.
