It's nice and reassuring that there is real reporting out there that reports on the real facts and not some conjured up articles just to make headlines on this website or any other out there including blogs. It's amazing to me that even though the 6s sales didn't match the 6 sales, they still out preformed Samsung and other phone makes by leaps and bounds. I'm not a Samsung hater out there. I love my apple products and their innovation ( even though people will say that Apple is getting lazy in that department as of late ), I just don't like rival smartphone makers practically coping Apple in design and color and now with tech with their version of their pay program and they say that's it's the next big thing. Apple was the first to mention a Apple Watch, Apple Pay, they were the first with a lightning port adapter, iPad, so on and so on and then they say ours is better, get busted by coping them, lost almost every court battle and they still have the audacity to say the next big thing is here and we are outselling Apple. They have lost trust in consumers by coping, then lying and then get caught lying and have to pay out big because again they lost just about every court battle, when really it wasn't a battle at all. That's why you go to a Verizon, AT&T, sprint, t-mobile and they sell you their premium Samsung phone and it's a buy 1 get 1 program. Or you buy their newest flagship phone and then they give you their old version of an iPad that's a few years old and it's the tablet that was in the infringement case and Samsung wants them gone or they will have to buy them back. And they don't want to do that because they are already paying out the A$$ in fines and court costs.
WOW me Samsung, don't copy and say yours is better ( when in reality it's not ) and dont feed websites and bloggers and tell them you are profitable and outselling Apple when again reality your not. If you can do that then you might have my attention.

I haven’t made a post on here in quite awhile because life kinda got in the way, but for me I bought the new 2019 iPad Air. For me it was all about price ( not that I can’t afford the 2017 or 2018 pro’s). I chose the Air because for me it had everything I want. Cellular whilst I’m on the go, the newer processor ( not that I need to have the newest Apple product every year ) but at least it’s a piece of mind that I probably would get maybe 2 more years outta it as far as iOS updates go. Mostly it was bought for more reading, streaming video, app development and every now and again web browsing as well beta testing. It’s my first iPad. It’s gonna be nice to have to use. Kinda gives my 2018 MacBook Air a rest every now and again. Sure you can get a great deal on the 2017 pro models. After all there 2 years old, not that there is anything wrong with that. Like the article stated you are still getting the best of what Apple has and what they and developers can throw at it. So I say, do your research. Get what you can afford or whatever your tastes may be. Just like me with all Apple products you won’t be disappointed.

Never had any doubt. Way to go apple and way to go Tim Cook & team!

Congrats Apple and iPhone. Was a little late to the game with ya. 1st iPhone was the 4s. Brilliant piece of machine, just makes me mad that i never bought the 1st. I have been the " s " model upgrader since my start, now the rumor mill is running rapid with 3 phones and a possible all glossy white version. I know you all at Apple will once again knock it outta the park with this years and many more years to come with the best phone in the world. You reinvented the phone and you reinvented the way we live our lives today, tomorrow and in the future. To all the other phone makers out there....... imitation is the sincere form of flattery. Congrats again Apple and the iPhone team.

64gb in white ordered through Verizon coming my way on nov 3rd.
verizion pre-order was up 5 mins before launch time📱. Here on the east coast.

I think the so called iPhone 8 or Pro or edition or whatever the hell they are going to call it with its 5.8 inch screen size is ideal. Nothing bigger. I can't believe that the iPhone 8 ( for the sake of arguement ) at 5.8 inches is actually narrower than the 7 and future 7s Plus. That to me is amazing, but a phone like Sammys with a screen size of over 6 inches is like holding a iPad mini up to your head.
This company tries so hard to 1 up apple in design and ship dates and cost that they forget about updating software. Only now from what I have read in threads posted in AppleInsider that they are starting to make updates more frequent. We'll see what the numbers will bring both in sales and in Geekbench scores when the new editions of iPhone comes out. Eagerly awaiting any day now for an announcement from the folks in Cupertino. Either will be taking a personal day or streaming on my rusty trusty 6s on the event day.

Anyone else in here shocked by this?..
Next year they will be coming out with an all glass phone, with waterproofing.
Samsung and google..... coping iphones since 2007.

Icrap is a lil angry with me!
Thats funny. 
I read quite a few articles on the web ( including Sammys own website ) and there is no mention of a watch being made in 1999. Now maybe a regular watch but no smart watch. They didn't develop one and started shipping them until 2013/14, after the fact and keynote of apples unveil. They just rushed their product out before Apple did and claimed 1st. Apple made news with iPhone 2007, iPad 2010, iCloud 2009, Apple Watch 2014 etc..etc..
The point I was trying to make is yes Samsung copies Apple, and I guess Apple copies Samsung as far as screen size goes, because everyone whined and wanted a bigger screen size so Yes Apple caved and gave them a bigger screen size, well then just a few years later people again whined that they missed the 4" screen size so Apple yet again caved and gave them a smaller screen size. And now everyone wants a waterproof iPhone. Samsung already has a somewhat water resistant phone but not water resistant enough according to consumer reports. And now Apple must have one. So to sum this up.. Samsung copies Apple, and Apple copies Samsung. Again this goes back to innovation bigger screen sizes isn't innovation as stated in the blog above ( please forgive me I forgot who typed the rebuttal blog above ). It's how you innovate. How's is their music, cloud, pay doing? 

Really.. I hate these things. If you are that lazy to pick up a vacume and sweep up your own floor, then just give up on life. Let's not become the fat people from the movie wall-e.
