I can never understand the mad rush to get this new phone,they sit in chairs outside the store all day/night to get one.
My son-in-law has one and after "playing "with it for a while I dont see anything I can use.
My Galaxy S5 has everything I need,why would I need more?
 

I'm with you on this, just like I don't get the people lining up and camping out for any other items at stores as in Black Friday sales and the like. It's just very telling about the mindset of the masses of sheep in society in general. Not that I haven't been part of a herd to some degree or another in some form in life. :dispirited:
 
Like Black Friday if they would just wait a week or 2 they probably could get the same items at the same price or less.
 

Unless I can stick it in pocket to me it's not a cell phone. These new "phones" are nothing but miniature I pads. If I have to carry it I'll carry a labtop or Ipad.
 
I have an iPad and an iPhone, and I can't see why having a larger phone would be an advantage. The phone is still too small for me to use as an internet device, except in an urgent necessity; and my iPad is the perfect size to do that . The phone that I have fits perfectly in my purse, and being larger would not help with anything that i use mine for. I just use mine for phone calls, taking pictures, and the occasional text message.
My daughter like some of the other new benefits that it has; but she didn't want a phone that was larger either, and even the smaller of the two new ones is larger than the older iPhones.

The new ones have a lot more memory storage, and will also have the capability to be used at stores for paying for purchases.
This is what I can see as the greatest benefit for the new phones. Since you do not need to use a credit cart to pay for something, the clerk (or anyone else) never sees your card, so there is no chance of the information being stolen like happened at Target, or just recently at Home Depot.

Ive seen shoppers in the grocery using large IPad,they look so ridiculous.
Cant wait for a specially designed shopping cart for those mini laptops and recharge it by the bakery cupcake section.

Give it time the hackers are working on this one too.
