new features and specs, that horse has been
beaten to death. I will however go over the
general “likes” and “dislikes” of the new
model. The first thing you may notice when
you purchased it or for those of you who
plan to go purchase it, is that it now comes in
two new sizes. The 4.7-inch display and the
slightly larger 5.5-inch display iPhone6 Plus
which I like but is completely unnecessary.
Thanks Apple rolling my eyes. This is the part
where it seems Apple is following others,
trying to make what they think is needed to
compete with say the Galaxy Note.
Ideas so rare and products so intuitive, that
they force the industry to follow suit. As of
late it feels like they have only been giving
us shinier versions of toys we already have
in our proverbial toy box.

However I like my iPhone6, I do, don’t get
me wrong, but understand after much
anticipation in the months leading up to the
release, and expectations of being blown
away at the developers conference. I have
to say, now that I have my new iPhone6, it
feels just like my iPhone5. I’m not sure if
anyone else feels the same. Taller, thinner,
lighter and faster yes... and don’t let me
forget to mention rounder. It even has a few
additional menu options that probably could
have been added with an update, but still
it just feels like the ghost of smart phones
past.
I will however touch on some of the newer
“more cutting edge” additions that I have
noticed that I like. It’s been out for a while
now and I’m sure you all have had time to
fully get use to it and develop your own
thoughts. There still might be some cool
things you are unaware of. As previously
said, its nothing to write home about, even
though the irony is that I am actually writing.
I hardly doubt it will make it home or that
any one will even care about it if it does.
So I won’t go into to much depth about the
I will be basically sticking to the iPhone6
and not the 6 Plus because although many
people including some of you readers out
there might like the larger version, huge cell
phones is just not my thing. Next thing you’ll
notice is the new beveled glass which I like,
rounder metallic body casing and familiar
touch id home button from the 5S. Another
difference now is the camera lens, which
I’ll get to in a second, and the power button
which is now located on the side. All I’ll say
about the power button is.... although I won’t
say that I hate it the most, I can say there
are things in the world I hate more. There’s
uhmm the well. . . ok yeah I actually hate it
the most. Now on a positive note, the two
feature that I love more than all others is
Apple’s new card payment option and the
new ability to double tap the fingerprint
button to bring everything down within
reach. This can be performed whether on
the home screen, in app, email, text or
