Well I decided, for now, the decision is neither. I am 85% sure I am going to wait for the 6s. After messing around with my buddy's 6...it's just isn't worth the $240 it will cost me to get a 64 GB (which is the storage size I would need). Not enough features (don't really care about better camera or bigger screen) to draw me in.

Best bet is to do the Next program. Especially if you have multiple lines.

Also if you purchase iPhone 6 on Next program before 9/30 you get $100 credit per phone. After 14 days you can just pay the phones off and own them out right. Or continue Next payments.

What happens is people see the $199 price and think they are getting a deal. But really ATT is just charging more each month for the Access Charge. You pay for the phone either way you do it.
I really knew nothing about the program until recently. It seemed like a program for poor people to get phones they can't really afford...

Why do they make your service cheaper for doing Next? Seems so stupid. I hate the thought of paying a monthly fee for the phone. Seems like leasing. Companies don't do things to be nice...just felt like I was missing something. There has to be some advantage to being willing for put down the "full" 2 year contract price up front. I am shocked to learn you're better off making monthly payments. Why do they do this?

What do you use? I have 2gb with AT&T and I can't even use it all. I stream Pandora a lot too. I guess if you watch youtube video all days that will kill your data.

Depends how you look at it. People on the NEXT plan pays full price for the iPhone. I never paid full price for any of my iPhone in my life. I always paid the $199 price.

I have no internet in my music studio so I tether my phone for myself and like 3 other people to use all my LTE haha.

At home my Wifi gets 64Mbps. I ain't got no worries



You're doing it wrong. I'm trading in my 5s this weekend for a 6 and using my upgrade so not only will my 6 be free, I'll have a $30 credit

I went for a 6 Plus 128GB model. Picked up a couple of Saturdays back from my local Apple store.

Overall, I like the phone. I don't have particularly large hands (I would say my hands are on the smaller size) but I have no issue holding it. The camera is great especially with an active 2 year old. Pictures are much clearer compared to my 5S.

The only thing I don't like is that a lot of apps are zoomed in on standard view but this will go away as more developers update their apps to take take advantage of the bigger screens in the 6 and 6 plus.

Now the only thing I need is for Speck to release their cases in the UK.

6 or 6+? Apple lists the 6 as 7-10 business days. If you do store pickup you should be able to get one sooner.

I ordered mine through Verizon and it arrived on launch day.

FWIW, for the iPhone 4 and 5, I just walked up to Verizon on launch day and grabbed one. No lines. No hassle.

As a side note, try walking into your local Target. Many of my coworkers have picked theirs up there over the last couple of weeks.
