Which iPhone do you like?

Neither do I like Apple, nor their overpriced and overhyped "products".   I'd go for any other smartphone-brand, with similar features/specs, but not for that iPhone.

While I haven't heard from these sites themselves, these types of initiatives/projects are known to me. I might check them out later on.   Thanks for the links !

Hi there,

They're not exactly the same. For example, the Plus supports full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, whereas the 6 doesn't.
See the differences here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/

I have a 7 inches tablet (Nexus).

I wanted to get a little phone with radio and a decent camera (which is what the tablet cannot do) and I cannot find anything... All new phones are becoming huge, almost as big as my tablet and they remove the radio. To get a little phone with radio I have to search very old models with awful cameras...

If iphone 6 isn't your thing, then you should get a 5 or a 5s. It's cheaper now and it has decent camera as well.
I'm pretty sure if you want radio you can download an app for it.

Completely unimportant. And it comes with having a bigger screen.

Other than this I just see a difference in the camera "Optical image stabilization" The rest is all identical.

//EDIT

These are the European prices in the Apple Store

699€ (USD  896.74) iPhone 6 16 GB
799€ (USD 1025.03) iPhone 6 64 Gb / iPhone 6 Plus 16 GB
899€ (USD 1153.32) iPhone 6 128 Gb / iPhone 6 Plus 64 GB
999€ (USD 1281.61) iPhone 6 Plus 128 GB

How about no?

Would you please use the "edit"-button to add new information to your original message, instead of posting multiple times in a row, Enric ? I merged your posts into one.

And importing stuff myself isn't an option either, since I then have to pay additional import fees/duty...

cheaper than having to sign a 24-month (or sometimes even 36-month) contract...  

intropella wrote:Ahh yes Carlos, I totally forgot about how high taxes are in other countries.
Most taxes are ridiculously high and it's unnecessary. /:

In my case, yes. All these taxes are meant to create a modern version of the so-called welfare & social security state, in which - as politicians say - "everyone has a chance" and in which "everone has health insurance".   In reality though, things have now become pretty much comparable to the US (it wasn't always like that, though !). The only difference to the US being the high taxes, lol. 

Back to topic, yes, the older IPhone models are a lot cheaper, but personally I would still go for something different. Theoretically I don't even need most of these "fancy" features that are generally available in modern smartphones, so I'd go for something more pragmatic.

What's the point of the iPhone 6 ? When the 7 will come out, you'll wonder the same thing.
The new technology is the watch ! The watch ! You wanna invest into something expensive ? Take the damn watch !

Moreover, a phone is a phone. Take pictures ? Good ! Makes videos ? Good ! You are video/photo amateur and don't feel like investing into cameras and all. Invest in a smartphone. Fine. I'd do the same. But really, a FM radio ? I sure never wanted my walkman to be a phone, why would I want my phone to be a radio ??

For that, you need a portable computer ... Those thing still exist.

I like Apple Watch too. I think that's the best watch ever. Other companies do their Watch because of rumors, Apple making one. As you can see, almost all the features Samsung Watch is from rumors of Apple Watch. And then they said that Apple copy it from them?! Srsly. Also, almost all the commercials of Samsung are dissing Apple. But Apple doesn't think about it so much. Apple FTW! 

And even they said that it's only 8MP and other phones now are 16MP+. Apple Phone cameras are for me higher quality than other phone cameras. Picture is not about the pixels it's about the quality.

Cheaper, but still extremely expensive.

Download a radio? xD I was meaning FM radio. I don't want a radio by Internet at all, expensive and pointless.

To simplify a lot iPhones had only two good points (good camera and little size). Now they have one only good point (the camera), so no way.

I won't buy any iPhone or any phone over 300 dollars, just no. I can understand them for very rich people, but for the rest? I just wouldn't dare to go out with something with a so high price. Way too scary. Plus invest more in a phone than a computer doesn't make sense to me.

Disclaimer: Please don't misunderstand me because of my opinion about Apple. I'm only a fan of them. I know all of us is a fan of something. So please understand my opinion.  Thank you.

Why rich people and almost all celebrity bought it? It's because it's a high quality product. Like Admin said. Apple is secure. Even you don't have anti-virus, your phone is safe. Unlike Android devices, there are malwares around their that can steal your content.

Another thing is, Apple don't include FM radio because, most of the people now don't use FM radio. Srsly, I'm not listening to radio anymore. And there are apps that you can download to access radio, like intropella said. Apple knows that WiFi is everywhere now. 3G and LTE too, so they don't bother making radio app built in without using internet.

And some people like being able to listen to the radio in their phone. Why carry 20 things when you can have all of them in a 'tiny' rectangle?

EnricMost people buy iPhones just because it's a symbol. There's a strong irrational worship to this brand. It became a way to say to the world "look at me, I'm rich" without spend so much as buying a Ferrari or a private jet. Doesn't matter whatever the iPhone does, as long as there's the apple logo many people will be happy with it.

Yes, I have heard that. That's an iOS flaw. Pictures are stolen because they didn't secure their iCloud account. E-mails are hackable right? iCloud is like an email too. It's easy to hack. BUT Apple has Two-Step Verification. If you enable that you are now secure. Apple fixed that right away.

BUT what about Android. Have Android fixed their "Fake-ID Flaw"? Their "50,000+ Malware Flaw"? Their "Apps that have malware"? (There are Apps like that until now on Google Play)

All OS have flaws. But iOS fix bugs immediately in their OS compare to Android. I don't say that if you use iOS your totally secure. But I'm saying that iOS are more secure than Android OS.

For Rich thing, Yes other people say that you're rich if you're an Apple user. Because commonly rich people have Apple device.
For me, I'm not a rich person. I'm not buying Apple products so others will tell me I'm rich. But I'm buying Apple because their products are more secure, convenient for me. It's my choice.

It's our choice if we want other device. No one will bother us. We have free agency tho.

Enric wrote: Wifi everywhere? This is not true. Of course, there are more places with WiFi now than some years ago, but this is far from everywhere. And often we are in places with WIFI but yet without the necessary password to use it. The reason because they removed radio is because they want us to spend more money through a 3G connection. FM radios are free so they cannot charge us by that. Just see as Apple has pacts with the main phone carriers to sell iPhones for cheaper in exchange of overpriced voice+Internet plans. Lately other smartphones are removing their FM radios as well, just to make people spend more in 3G.

Additionally. I already lived two phone and Internet networks collapses in the past two years. The FM radio was the only way to stay communicated.

Yes! They want us to spend more on 3G. That's their business strategy. But I don't mind them because internet is now slowly replacing texting or calling. It's more affordable if you call or text a lot. You can call for free now via internet using Viber or other apps around there. So that's their new way to earn more money. You can't blame them, that's business.
