or look at this. Now, they know that Apple indeed came out with larger screen iphone which in absent left to android and now they want to come to home. That seems right.
"...many owners of smartphones from Apple's chief rival Samsung are also eager to upgrade their experience."
That sentence right there is music to my ears. There's always been a very vocal minority within the Android community who parade technical specs, marginal features and capabilities (most of which are half-baked, like that bang-your-phones-together-to-share-photos atrocity), but where the rubber meets the road - the larger population - Android has always been a good-enough cheap solution for those who wanted some of what it offered that iPhone didn't, which means larger displays.
You know Samsung, they will release their new phones 24-36 hours before the iP6 comes out in stores. That is how they roll, anything to try and one-up Apple.
I just threw that out, and it's possible. Companies that accept iPhones had said that you could trade your phone now, but keep the phone until you received your new one. That was over a month ago. So it's certainly possible.
But I knew that there would be people here who wouldn't want to read that. You're the first. Congrats!

I doubt that seriously.
1) Samsung announced new projects without pricing or release dates or availability.
2) Even if Samsung tries to ship, as reported on AI, Apple has tied up much of the international shipping for its massive iPhone 6 roll out.
I personally really liked the look of the Samsung Edge.... but that product is a mystery in terms of when it might actually become available for purchase.
Meanwhile the 6 is about to hit store shelves.

Your logic is sound, the reality is we will not know without more data.
While I personally dont think so, I have no data to back up that claim.
Shooting the "messenger" is so child like, fandroids and isheep can only see what they want to...

No, that's a perfectly reasonable thought and certainly possible. Now had you said earlier in the year that even a single iPhone owner was waiting to see the Galaxy S5 before upgrading, well, those be fighting words!
Sorry about the above, never used the multiquote button before....

Of course would you expect them to roll over and play Mr nice guy? Its ALL about marketing what you have (or dont)....
perhaps "appleinsider staff" includes mikey campbell. he says he wishes he could proofread his writing, but he says he can't. i'd guess that all of appleinsider staff "can't".
I for one would appreciate it if people like you would shift away from forums like these as you haven't got a capital thing to add to the topic.

The fact Sammy customers waited is bad news for Sammy. Apple isn't going to get 100% of Sammy defectors but a little but every qtr adds up. Say only 10% of those folks buy iPhones now. That is still > 0.
Samsung trade-ins rose threefold on a weekly basis since two days ago? Okay
I agree. The Apple ship started to sink after the outdated iphone 6 reveal. What is happening actually is that samsung owners after seeing the mediocre keynote they are upgrading to Note 4 Edge which spots some actual innovations.
(Oh, and no, a new type of faux leather is not an innovation.)
The wrap around screen is an innovation. Whether it's actually useful is a whole 'nuther discussion. Get a really big phone so you can look at tiny notifications on the side when it's sitting on your desk? My guess is it will be meh, but I wouldn't look at a Samsung phone anyway. It will be interesting to read reviews, etc to see how it works, if it requires special apps that utilize that portion of the screen for display/controls, etc. People were talking about "it would be cool to see scrolling sports scores" and such on the sliver of screen. To me, that would be as horrible as all the damn stock tickers that show during the news nowadays, it's freaking obnoxious.

32bit is so 2012.
Keep your trash talk to yourself along with your trash phones.
I shall be purchasing the iPhone+ if for no other reason that to migrate my iTunes copy protected library. But I ain't giving up my Note 3. The best device-not just phone-that I've ever owned.

Apple makes a superior product (they've ruled Consumer Satisfaction metrics in mobile since the first iPhone), and then prices it accordingly.
Taken as a total package - the fusion between hardware and software - no other competitor even comes close to the user experience offered by iDevices connected to Apple's ecosystem.
It isn't even close. iPhone users are babied by Apple. Spoiled. It can't even be called a race, because an actual race assumes that all competitors are actually capably fit for the race, rather than counting one or more among them that are completely outclassed.
I've been saying it for months now. With a bigger iPhone there is literally ZERO reason for a normal human to buy a Shamesung phone. ZERO. They will get utter destroyed on the high end (high end phones are already down 20-25% this year). On the mid-level Xiaomi and other Chinese brands will crush them. Samdung has no where to hide. Eventually they will need to cut their marketing budget and that will lead to weaker sales.
Like I said 6 months ago Samdung will be a bit player like HTC/Nokia/Xiaomi by the time the 6S comes out.
You know Samsung, they will release their new phones 24-36 hours before the iP6 comes out in stores. That is how they roll, anything to try and one-up Apple.
The beginning of the end has already started for Scamsung and Fandroids!
We are now entering the middle of the end! The clock is ticking and their time is running out! I am so damn glad!
You can bet your ass that quite a few Android users are going to upgrade to iPhone 6's. There are practically no logical reasons for anybody to buy gimmicky Scamsung phones.
People want security, and nothing beats Touch ID on iPhones. Together with ?Pay, it's a winning and unbeatable combination! Nothing else even comes remotely close!
I have this theory that millions of people feel like they've gotten screwed after buying Scamsung phones, and these people have zero loyalty to Scamsung. Of course many of them will jump ship and switch! What reasonable people wouldn't flee a sinking ship? Only a few rats will remain.
The iPhone 6 is going to do incredibly well, but you don't need me to tell you that.

As part of my job I have corporate security software installed on my 5s, you should have seen all the whining from the S5 owners who couldn't use the fingerprint scanner on their Samsung's and had to set up a password lock instead.
Of course this wasn't an issue for the 5s' Touch ID.
It' s little flaws like this, often overlooked, which catch out the imitators.

I've never tried Samsung's fingerprint scanner of course, as I wouldn't be caught dead touching any Android phone, but I have read a bit about it, and it's a complete disaster. It's a cheap, gimmicky feature that does not work well at all!
Apple's works great, and it is reliable. In my opinion, Touch ID is one of the most important features ever to have been added to an iPhone.
I'm also hoping that the new iPads get Touch ID. I was kind of hoping that they would be announced at the most recent keynote, but I can wait another month or so!
