I've been with Verizon for over 10 years. My guess is you will lose your current plan. For one thing, going from the iPhone 4s to any new iPhone, you are moving from wireless speeds of 3g to 4g LTE. This will automatically cause you to lose any old unlimited plan. At least this is the way I

Sieghard I think the reason that the 6 feels lighter is the way it holds in the hand. I find it more comfortable to use. I really wanted the better battery life of the 6+ but really did not like its size. On 9/20/14, BrianMiller brianrmille...@gmail.com wrote: I go caseless. It's the only way!

Maybe you're thinking of the balance of the phone? Sometimes, if it is well balanced, it seems lighter. If all of the weight were at the bottom, it might seem to be heavier than it is. --- Be positive! When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're finished, you! really! are!

Hi Daniel, That is not correct. KNFB officially says it works pon the iPhone 5 and up, but several people on the list have reported that it works just as good if a bit slower on an iPhone 4S. This is of course only logical since especially between the 4S and the 5 there is very little

I think the 6 is going to be easier and more comfortable to hold because of its curved edges. I've only owned a 4 and 4S, which both have flag edges. I'm pretty sure I'll still get a case for the 6 when I get it, but we'll see. Thanks, Ari On Sep 19, 2014, at 8:17 PM, Cheryl Homiak

That is a very good question. And it's great to hear Garage Band is working OK. The Fleksy people indicated there is an issue with direct input that Apple needs to fix before Fleksy can work with VO. Maybe they're mistaken, or maybe they use it in a different way. I'm not sure. Jonathan Mosen
