How the hell do you guys with older iphones (6 and earlier) even use the damn things?

My 6 is getting unbearably slow, not responding to presses occasionally and battery life is tailing off.

Looks like I will be getting in on the new phone hysteria.
View Quote
My 6Plus is also getting slow. Reboots some times.
Also battery will show a low percentage like 30% but then plug it up and it shows something like 60%.
It doesn't happen all the time. I've taken care of the phone also.

I'll probably get the X. The question is try to preorder or wait.

Well put!

Looking forward to what Apple announces later that will be copied by MS and Google in 6 months.

Lol @ people complaining over a $1,200 phone

Go be poor elsewhere

For something you use so much some people find it worth it to spend good money for nice things

I bet you spend $1,200+ on rifles that sit around collecting dust but don't complain about that

Lol. Completely useless. Spending $1,200 on a selfie and bejeweled machine.

Other than making calls, getting directions and looking things up on the internet, the vast majority of what people use their phones for is useless, productivity destroying bullshit. The things that aren't bullshit can be executed just as well on previous gen iPhones for a fraction of the price.

yes, the top of the line OLED model costs that much, I think it has half a terabyte of storage too.

Given the new galaxy note is pushing a grand, I'm not really bothered by this.

Yes the OLED model is the one I want to see especially if it comes in a plus version.

Bigger is better in this case.

I'd be happy if they would license watch faces out to developers like Nike or someone. Geez. Who cares about Micky and Minnie although I did hear a rumor they were going to add StarWars watch faces.
The new watch they're saying it'll be LTE enabled. Wonder if it'll have an always on display. I have to say I think my sons Samsung S3 watch is better than my apple watch series 2.

Same here.  I use a phone for talking, texting, and email.  Maybe to check weather or scores, and a few apps for traveling (Hilton, Avis, airline apps).  No games, no pic taking, don't watch movies or anything.  It turns four years old sometime this fall.

My OS is at least an update or two behind.
If I get the X. I'll probably wipe and load my 6 Plus with the latest iOS and make it my backup phone that I take to theme parks and places like that.

I got a 7 as soon as it came out to replace my 6. I have been mostly disappointed with the 7.

I will wait a while to upgrade. If Apple fails to deliver again with the 8, I think the 7 could be my last iPhone. I am starting to believe that Apple died with Steve Jobs.

Nah - you are where I was when the iPhone 5 came out. I was underwhelmed with the 5 so I went over to Samsung (Galaxy S5) until the 6s came out. I cane back to the iPhone and doubt I'll jump ship again.

I'm curious to see what happens with pricing on the 7.

I've been using a 5S for the last three years, and I will probably be moving to a 7 unless they surprise us with a SE update.

I would pay $1300 for a phone that I could uninstall the fucking PHONE app. I don't want to talk on the phone ever.

I work from my phone so $1200 is cheaper than a micro laptop.
