Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Re: Ordered new phone

Not in WA... And a hand free is required for using a phone. Err I think even a headset kind which usually only cover one ear

Not illegal to drive wearing a headset where you live?

I use a LG Tone bluetooth headset with my phone all the time. I ask Siri for sports scores and directions while I'm driving. I listen to podcasts and music all day at work. It's much easier for me to have this headset on and possibly an earpiece in one ear than scrambling for a phone that's charging in the other room.

I'd love the better camera, but since I don't wear dress clothing to the coffee shop or carry a briefcase, I suspect I'll have to settle for the lesser one. Or, maybe, save the money and hold onto the 5. Nah, old hardware. I'd be sorry.

Interesting how varied opinions are. After seeing and holding the new phones in our local ATT store I was impressed how unwieldy the 6+ would be used to make calls. It struck me that it would be the choice of those using the iPhone primarily as a hand-held computer. The big screen would be great for web work, texting, email, photos, etc. But as a phone? Not so great. Personally, I'd probably drop the thing trying to put it up to my face. Then there is the carrying-it-around factor. I'm a handbag minimalist. So I'm more in line with the guys wondering how it will fit in pockets.

I won't be in the market for a new iPhone until next fall at the soonest. I hope the darn things don't get any bigger in the next generation. Enough, already!
