I'll be switching from a different carrier, Virgin Mobile, to whichever carrier suits me best. Has anyone run into any hassles keeping their old numbers?

Did they improve the resolution on the 4.7" model from the 5s? Or do I have to get the shoebox for a better display?

Since there is no pre-order for the 6+, is the only way to get my hands on one early is to camp out? My current phone is biting the dust and I need a new one ASAP

So why is the bigger display model another hundred dollars? Is this another money grab like their memory storage on the devices? I know it will have a little better resolution...

I just think they're just banking on some people really wanting it and they will pay the extra hundred dollars no matter what.

I wouldn't get the bigger one regardless.

For the 5S? Nope...12AM PST and there were no pre-orders. I was out of town and had to get up at 3AM EST to see what shipping was like. I didn't want to wait a week so I went to the mall.

The watch actually looks really cool. Way too silly for me to spend 350 on, but I could actually see these watches catching on in the next few years.

It had a significant battery upgrade over the 6. I want to say it was even up to 60% more.

What were the parameters of that? I've seen most places saying they'd only give me 250$ for my 32 GB 5S. I mean I could easily get 400+ I think on eBay or something but I don't want the hassle of selling it myself.
I'm thinking I want the 64 GB 5.5" but at 250$ I'd still be coming out of pocket probably close to 500$ with taxes and the upgrade fee

The resolution is greater, the pixel density is the same.

It could have something to do with bigger screens with higher pixel density's costing more to make. but what do I know?

Unless Apple's website is lying, then it is not true, both will be available for preorder

is this worth selling my 5S and paying full price?


If you've got about $300 burning a hole in your pocket then yes. Otherwise show patience.

Only for the 6, which has 326 ppi the same as the 5S. The 6+ has 401 ppi
