iPhone 6 and iWatch released

[Falcon29]

I know!
The screen size matters a lot.It so happens that I browse net from my mobile most of the time and due to shear laziness I avoid picking up my tabs.And if I could have a mobile with a screen slightly bigger than the present size then i would not ask for anything more.Though ease of handling also matters to me.
But then why do you plan to buy HTC?
I heard HTC has kitschy and loud speakers.

For me. HTC LCD screen with 450 ppi is an amazing screen. 5 inch screen is also perfect for me. And I like that it is tall. My fingers are long and I prefer tall phones. You need to see how clear it is in person. Also, it has the best android skin out of all androids. HTC sense is now more appealing than samsung skin. It also has the smoothest/lag free android experience because software does a good job. I also like the build quality and two front facing speakers. It fits my needs. I don't need a note anymore. I looked at the note 4 but aren't appealed and want to try HTC. When I get I will do a review here maybe for you guys.

By the way, Apple removed the 32GB model instead of eliminating the 16GB option & using 32GB as a base. The reason for that should be obvious, it's meant to ensure that people don't keep on purchasing the base model because 32GB as a base model is more than enough for the majority, whereas the 16GB is too little space for applications & media.

Oh they aren't the only one....

Verizon offers free iPhone 6 with trade-in, 2-year contract - CNET

"The wireless carrier announced Tuesday that it will give customers a free 16GB iPhone 6 when they trade in their old phone and re-up their contract for two more years. That means a savings of $199, which is the cost of the iPhone 6 with a two-year contract. Verizon said eligible trade-in devices include the iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5C, and 5S. This offer does not apply to Apple's new iPhone 6 Plus."

Is this restricted to one user? If my family has more than one iphone5 users. If they all trade in do we need to pay at all? We are new to Verizon as well.

I don't know the details but you probably could.

Keep in mind you have to turn in your phones. You have to figure out how much your old phones are worth.
If you have a 16GB iPhone 4 this may be a good deal. An iPhone 5 64GB...definitely not.

When your contract expires they will probably offer you an iPhone 6 for a similar amount.

Yes, Apple isn't the only company on Earth using variations in products for managing sales or prices, but it was still an observation worth sharing in regards to the conversation I was having with another member. Verizon's offer is similar in the sense that they won't provide a storage capacity similar to the one being traded in, & that's both to prevent abuse & encourage sales. In any case, the post that you quoted does not in any way imply that Apple is the only company playing around with their offerings to maximise potential sales.

Oh i meant Verizon is just as sneaky. They'll dangle an instant 16GB trade-in at you and when you say hey how about a 32? They'll say nope..only other choice is a 64GB/128GB...and that's extra...like MUCH extra.

I am aware of the point you are making, & to be honest there is nothing wrong with what Verizon is doing. If they were to offer an iPhone 6 64GB model for a 5S 64GB, they wouldn't be making a lot of sales. It's not sneaky, it's just good business sense, & there is nothing wrong with what Apple has done either. Besides you can't really trade in for a 32GB model when it simply doesn't exist in the new iPhone. From what I know, the 64GB iPhone 6 will cost just as much as the 32GB model did earlier seeing as that's the one it's meant to replace. The only reason I mentioned Apple's removal of the 32GB model with the new release was to share the reasoning behind the business tactic with the member I was having the discussion with. In other words, providing 32GB as a base option would deter people from purchasing greater storage seeing as that's enough for most users today. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most people opting for greater storage on the iPhone previously chose the 32GB variant. As such, by choosing to keep 16GB as base, Apple maximised their earnings potential.

Depends about your lifestyle. Also if you own an IPhone it might fit in if you prefer looking at watch for alerts. You can customize the band, they do have very wide variety. So if you're looking for functionality to pair with iPhone then sure get it. It's still overpriced in my opinion.

If you're looking for stylish watches look into Casio Edifice series. Very nice watches that have luxury and sporty look.

That's your opinion but there are much better watches out there in my opinion.

Swiss army, Casio Edifice, Sieko are some.

Of course you have citizen too, which uses high quality material but designs aren't that great.

Yes, I own a citizen ecodrive and I love seiko watches too (mostly because of the way they function, like some work on hand movements while an ecodrive charges itself with any light).
I do love my gadgets and watches. But am not sure I would ever go for an apple watch unless its a completely new experience.
I will wait and watch for someone to give their first hand experience.

Last year at a showroom I had tried a samsung gear watch, but unfortunately in the showroom they did not have a "working" samsung watch. Lolzz
That was hilarious!

How is the pricing on those citizens? I checked some Citizens out before(not sure if ecodrive or not) they had moderate styling, not too oversporty and and not too bland. But I like extreme styling more. Check these watches out($200-500$ price range):

They have many functions, builtin compass, etc...but style to me is very nice. Of course I don't have money to get really expensive watches. If I did I would get this 1k plus one
