    I had the iPhone 4 & went in last week to look at the 6. I did like the 6 but the size made me go with the 5s. Being on the road 50+ hours it's easy on one hand & fits in pockets well. Lot of better features than the 4 I had. I use a tablet at home & iCloud everything so it meshes together.

    Question. iPhone 5s. I can't get the thing to put apps on it. I go to App Store & I wanted to add Utube app (I will use that one for example) I put search for app. I hit the install & it just sits there whirrely twirrely ' n around in circle. On home page it shows it trying to load. But nothing. I tried on 4g & on our WiFi with no luck. I went to settings & made sure everything was on. Figured I ask here.. Had plan to stop at AT&T. Any suggestions

    Double click the home button, swipe up to remove all programs from memory and retry the download. Either this or restart the phone from Off, not standby. Sometimes they just need reset.

    I went for a walk this morning and decided to shoot a few photos with the new phone, posted a few results online for you guys to see. This isn't a full camera test, just a few photos I took while out on a walk. There were some challenging shots though so figured I"d post them up.

    It was really windy outside this morning, I'd like to go back and try those macro style shots again when it's not so windy outside.

    i got mine 6plus Gold on Last week....I've seen Sal's iphone plus at polkfest and wow it's a big phone.

    I've had it for a 6 days now and i am fully used to the size. I got 16G one because I dont have many apps....I downloaded some apps for my son and apparently new apps are now big in size....my next one will be 64G at least if I want to have any apps that my son can use...

    I finally got my iPhone 6.It's considerably larger then the iPhone 5s.
    I also got the 64g as they still didn't have any 128s available and I'm sick and tired of waiting.
    I find it mad how many people have purchased the iPhone 6 as I had to wait all this time to get one finally. I actually got the last 64g in stock and they are out now until the next shipment which mostly all spoken for. Crazy.

    I agree Dan. I ordered my 128 gig 6 Plus the week they came out and it took them over 5 weeks before I got it.

    That said once I got it I got into MediaMonkey and setup the snyc w my iPhone so I can now not only put my existing MP3's on it, but using the convert settings take my FLAC and SACD and any other stuff over 192bps and have the program convert it on the fly to 160bps and put it on my iPhone (while maintaining the original high rez file).

    I got 10k songs on my iPhone 6 plus and STILL have about 50% space free.

    That converting on the fly is a very underrated feature, iTunes has the same functionality and it is quite handy

    Agreed. Now iTunes won't recognize Flac files will it? My iTunes library was remarkably smaller than my actual library is. I'm assuming it's because I have some Flac and high Rez stuff.
