Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Wow and here's me thinking do I really need 7 pages worth of apps on my 5s? I can't even picture 70 pages worth of apps. Maybe they don't know to delete apps? grin Regards, Alan Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your parents? Act now! Move out. Get a job. Pay your bills wile you still know everything.

Everything I heard and read points towards this happening if people have 700 or more apps installed on the phone. Obviously some people do have that many although I can't imagine why you would this many apps or for that matter need this many. Maybe they are mostly games and in that case of course those people really need to get a life *smile*. Anyhow, if I were in the market for a 128 Gb iPhone 6 Plus I definitely wouldn't worry about getting one based on how few people are affected by that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jessica Dail Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 6:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6 It's onyly the 128 gb models that have this issue.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
I'm sure there are some stores that may only carry the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6+ and other stores that only stock those two models but Apple is still making and selling the 5s, and you can get it at a lower price. The 5C can also still be had from Apple and many places for even less. If you want a 5s, I'd ask about it. It may not be in the displays and it may not even be in stock, but I'd think it would be the rare store that couldn't get it for you. You could also get it directly from Apple if you have no other options. On 11/04/2014 10:50 AM, Flor Lynch wrote: Many stores don't give you that choice.

RE: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
I decided on a 5s. The cost of the 5s with 32 gig was $149 through Verizon, versus $399 for the 6 with 64 gig. Also, I called to order over the phone and the rep told me that she can only sell the 6 and 6+. An hour later, another rep was pleased to help me purchase a 5s. Go figure.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
It doesn't necessarily or even probably happen to all of them. I have a 128gb 6+ and it hasn't crashed yet. Mine was preordered the night preorders opened and came shortly after they came out. It certainly makes sense to pay attention to concerns. But on the other hand, if I stopped doing things and buying things because of possible risks, there's not much that I would be doing. You just have to read up on a situation as carefully as you can and then decide for yourself. I have Apple Care. If I do devellop a crashing problem, then Apple Store here I come! -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

RE: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Hi Jessica, As Cheryl pointed out, this random crashing issue seems to be happening primarily if not only on the 6 Plus 128 Gb and then it appears to be only happening for people who have huge numbers of apps installed. Everything I heard and read points towards this happening if people have 700 or more apps installed on the phone. Obviously some people do have that many although I can't imagine why you would this many apps or for that matter need this many. Maybe they are mostly games and in that case of course those people really need to get a life *smile*. Anyhow, if I were in the market for a 128 Gb iPhone 6 Plus I definitely wouldn't worry about getting one based on how few people are affected by that. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jessica Dail Sent: Monday, November 03, 2014 6:39 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6 It's onyly the 128 gb models that have this issue.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Ok, since you are UK, as I am, you might want to check out 3/Three's deal, I'm told it is very good. Check out GiffGaff as a PAIG. Check out the 2nd hand buy/sell lists over here, like Recycle-it and Thebargainstore on yahoogroups.co.uk. also, since we are both in the market, we have found an eBay supplier of Class A refurbs for a little over £300, including 1 yr warrantee. They're still £549 off Apple direct. I'll consult with 'er downstairs, sorry, 'er in bed; about the eBay supplier. Finally, www.preloved.com is a fee-free ad service and found a good few there too, though an entirely different risk aspect to trading blind on a site like that. eBay does at least offer some safeguards. So does paying by PayPal if you use this latter suggestion. £300/350 is about the target price for a basic 5S in good condition.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Hi Rob, Yours is such a generous response - thanks! If you could find out the e-bay based reseller you mention, that would be great. I use PayPal and love its security. I am based in Wales so I;am afraid I have to go with EE but I don’t want their phone with contract because it’s far too expensive. I like the SIM only contracts which are much better value.

hi, This openion ight be late but, I went from a 4S to a 6+ just because I don't upgrade often and I wanted the best phone at hte time so that it'd last as long as possable before ios would leave it behind. I would also agree withthe storage issue. I bought the 124 gig moddle of the 6+ just because I'd rahter have too much storage than not enough.At the end of hte day it's all in what you can efford.

I would suggest that it is more important over the long run to have at least a 32gb phone than it is to have a 6. Although we have Apple Pay in the U.s. many of us can't use it because our banks don't support it yet. I will also say that even though people say the difference in the battery life between the 5s and 6 is not that large, I find it to be quite significant. The difference in price between the two phone should only be $100 which I know can be a lot of money. The bottom line is that you need to decide which of the feature changes you care about.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Dear Andrew, My suggestion is to obtain the iPhone 6. I recommend this because the high quality design and manufacture of these devices means that if the phone is protected in a hard case, it will last far longer than the operating systems and apps on the phone. At a certain point, the phone won't support certain functionality and new iOS releases. iPhones have an expiration date. Currently, it is about four years from the time of a new iphone and iOS version until Apple no longer supports the phone with updates. If you were to buy a 5s, you will reach the expiration date sooner than if you wer to buy the 6. I realize your thought process. For the blind iPhone user, the six is a minor incremental improvement. The biggest benifits are in a larger screen and improved camera. The processor is just 25 percent faster. Processor speeds doubled in the 5 and 5s compared to their previous models. battery life is slightly longer in the six compared to the 5s. To me the issue is the useful life of the phone and when it might need replacement.

RE: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Hi Andrew, I would normally agree with Kelly and recommend the iPhone 6. However, given what you said about your financial situation may not make it worthwhile. If you could find a really good deal on a 5S (I would probably wait and see what promotions come around for Black Friday and Cyber Monday) then the 5S will be an awesome upgrade for you. As Kelly pointed out, the difference in speed between the A7 and A8 is not nearly as significant as it was between the A6 and the A7 and for all practical purposes the camera improvements between a 5S and a 6 will be irrelevant for you. Whether the somewhat better battery performance is a major factor depends on how you use the phone and I would say that if you take good care of your device that you will easily be able to use it for the next 4 years even if during the last year you may not be able to upgrade to the new OS any more. I also feel that any smartphone like this doesn't have much more than a 4-year life span and providers certainly make it easy for people to upgrade after 2 or 3 years by offering upgrade options with contract which are either free or cost maybe $100 which is in most people's reach.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Andrew, Besides buying a used 5S, another way to save money on iPhone ownership is in the choice of wireless service. I wrote the article iPhone on the Cheap on AppleVis. by using a carrier other than AtT or Verizon, one could pay one-third the cost of wireless service. Often this means simply switching to a virtual network operator that buys data and minutes from the major companies in bulk and resells them at a discount. Many are paying about $30 or less for service that includes generous amounts of calls, data and texts. Kelly On 10/26/14, Shawn Krasniuk bbssh...@icloud.com wrote: Hi Andrew.

RE: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Hello Andrew and Shawn, Shawn, you made a good point which I forgot. The support for Apple Pay would be a very compelling reason for me to get a 6 if I was living in the States. But as you mentioned, Canada won't see Apple Pay for a while although it would be my guess that Apple Pay will be in Canada before too long as our financial and credit card systems are similar. I fully expect that I will upgrade again next year, but with Apple Pay taken out of the equasion there really isn't enough reason to upgrade from a 5S to a 6. As far as how much of a compelling reason Apple Pay is for you, Andrew, that is entirely up to you. I am very intriqued by it and feel it is very well thought out and implemented based on what I heard about it. It appears to be an Apple product in the old way when Apple would not release half-baked stuff as they sometimes have done in the last couple of years.

I agree with Sieghard about getting a 5S. I know with myself when I got my 5S, I was only getting $60 for my 4S. I wanted a 32 GB 5S but I settled for 16 because it was only $100 so I only had to pay about $40 for it plus $15 for the sim card from Telus. As for processors, I'm not a power user as well. I don't use Safari because I have a Mac to surf the internet with. So the A7 chip is good enough for me. As long as I can use Alex on my phone, that's good enough for me. Yeah sure, the A8 chip on the 6 and 6 Plus sounds good, but like Sieghard said, I don't think there would be any improvements to speed. Also, we in Canada can't use Apple Pay, which is one of the biggest features of the 6 so there's really no point. I'll worry about upgrading when iOS can no longer be upgraded on my 5S.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
I generally agree with the advice to purchase a five s rather than a six. As for those carriers other than the big three, it's great, as long as there is good service in your area. You have to really check into that, or you can be sorry. I don't see any reason to buy a six at this time. I purchased a 5S earlier this year, and I'm happy I did. I expect you will be seeing good deals on the 5S in the coming days. Try to get something more than 16 GB however, because that is rather restricting.

I wrote the article iPhone on the Cheap on AppleVis. by using a carrier other than AtT or Verizon, one could pay one-third the cost of wireless service. Often this means simply switching to a virtual network operator that buys data and minutes from the major companies in bulk and resells them at a discount. Many are paying about $30 or less for service that includes generous amounts of calls, data and texts. Kelly On 10/26/14, Shawn Krasniuk bbssh...@icloud.com wrote: Hi Andrew.

Re: iPhone 5S vs. iphone 6
Although if money wasn't a factor I would choose the 6 over the 5s for the reasons already stated, one factor which I feel is even more important is the amount of memory on the phone. I would suggest that it is more important over the long run to have at least a 32gb phone than it is to have a 6. Although we have Apple Pay in the U.s. many of us can't use it because our banks don't support it yet. I will also say that even though people say the difference in the battery life between the 5s and 6 is not that large, I find it to be quite significant. The difference in price between the two phone should only be $100 which I know can be a lot of money. The bottom line is that you need to decide which of the feature changes you care about.
