IPhone 6

What are some of the improved changes that the new IPhone 6 will have??
My contract is up and I have 4S with Verizon that is 3G and want to up grade to a G4 phone and wondering if the 6 is that much better than 5S. I have heard that larger version I think it will be 5.5 screen will be delayed

thanks

  • What a waste of time and money! First, there was the smaller phone and then it became a "brick" again! Too much money spent too often on these devices but that is JMHO.
  • The LG G3 has OIS. Will be interesting to see how Apple does it.

    The rumors I read are that the problems are with the 5.5" model, if we can believe that there is such a thing.

    One of the rumors I've seen repeated about the difference between the two sizes is that the 5.5" camera will have optical image stabilization and the 4.7" model will not.

    But, again, who knows.

    Wow, it that's real optical stabilization it'll change the game completely. I don't know if any camera doing it optically short of a Canon 35mm lens
  • Who cares! The iPhone6 is now (finally) going to come into the Android age. The tiny iPhone simply could not compete in version 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and someone finally got smart enough to say "we need a bigger phone"!
    Genius!

  • Lots of rumor at this point. Supposedly sapphire instead of gorilla glass. Sapphire appears to be very expensive compared to gorilla glass. Current sapphire is not as clear or bendable. Interesting to see the engineering to clear these obstacles. Probably two new sizes. One rumor mentioned each phone size would have specialized features.

    Right now NO Verizon or Sprint iPhone can do Data and Talk at the same time. Apple refused to accommodate 3g cdma.

  • It is all rumor so far. It will supposedly have a 4.7" screen and a 5.5" screen vs your 3.5" screen on the 4S (which I also have) and the 4" screen on the 5S for comparison. It will have a faster processor. It may have the sapphire glass which is supposedly stronger than Gorilla glass. The camera will certainly be better and that is what I am most interested in.
  • You know we RV'rs consider ourselves pretty smart people, but knowing what new products Apple will be putting out before they are announced is really not one of them...

    :B
