Apple Announcement Sept. 2014
-
It'll be interesting to see if the new big iPhone cannibalizes the iPad Mini market much.
I find a 4 inch screen a bit too small. 4.7 is probably the perfect size for me. Though I only keep my phone in my pocket when I'm walking around. I generally put it on a table when I sit down.
I'd *love *to see a 5.5" iPod, though I don't think that's gonna happen is it?

I guess I'm not technie enough for an Android phone
My wife and 9 year old son both have Android tablets and whenever I borrow them I have to ask them for support. Oh, the shame.
-
I can assure you I'm not an iPhone user for the prestige though. I have no prestige. So you can put me in the 1% there.

I wonder how these new sizes will affect app development?
One thing Apple had going for it for the longest was a single screen size (though I haven't paid any attention over the last several years - so I have no clue if they changed or not).
Of course Apple has already had to deal with this since they had the iPhone, iPad Mini and the standard iPad (in different resolutions). So at bar minimum they've had 4 different size factors to deal with.
I know Android has had multi-sized screen issues for years (thought I don't think they are that bad any more).

Plus it sucks for lefties who wear their watch on the right wrist, as the knob is on the wrong side, unless they have an "invert" function.
I'm a leftie and whilst I haven't owned a watch for years, I've always worn them on my left hand. Why wouldn't you?
I'm a rightie but always wore my watches in the right wrist.

Apple enforces vector graphics nearly always making screen size differences not important.

I guess it hasn't always be that way or why is it if you download an application meant for an iPhone on an iPad it does horrible scaling.

Yeah didn't used to be so much but recently nearly everything is for both.

I have a Windows Phone too but don't use it.

So Apple is going to allow trade in's of your old IPhone to get the new 6. I might just get the 6 on Friday. www.trade-in.vzw.com
You can see what you phone is worth there (only online one I could find). -
Nice. Need to see if there is one for me. Does Dominica's qualify with Verizon?
-
She wont get much since there are things wrong with hers and it's a 4s
-
I think my posting failed here.
-
There was go. Posts going through now. Does Dominica qualify for the upgrade?

Because of the cracked screen, my phone is worth $36.
How much is it worth without a cracked screen? Would it be worth it to spend $75-100 to get the screen repaired?

@ajstringham
Oh, wow, yeah it would be worth it to have the screen fixed, and my brother in law can do it for like $30, but then I'd have to be without a phone for a while, and that probably isn't worth it. Hmmm. It would be worth $200 if the screen wasn't damaged.

Sounds like it'd be worth it to me.
