Trigger warning: phablets
I have the 6+ which occasionally seems to big but my old 4s feels tiny now.
The mole on the shoal rides mainly on the foal.
I was surprised that the 6 was only as big as the Android phone (Nexus 5) I've been using all year. The 6+ (and the new Nexus 6), though, are crazy.
I have tiny baby paws so I know for sure no 6 is for me.
I like my 6+ a lot. Yes, it's big, but at least I can see the screen. My old-man eyes are grateful.
I'm really hoping they offer something 5S-sized by next year, when I'll be due for an upgrade. I suppose I should hold a 6 before I say that, but I'm pretty sure I don't want a bigger phone.
Besides the fact that it costs serious money, the size of the 6 was the deciding factor in getting a 5C for me. I regret only getting the 8 gig size though.
This may be the whitest thread in the history of the internet.
No way, man. We've had lots of threads way whiter than this one.
Total whiteness, sure, but whiteness per comment?
No fair trying to make things whiter by bitching.
Zoom in on an area where you are familiar with the urban geography.
Or State College. (Saw Happy Valley last weekend. I thought it was quite well done.)
17: This thread about whether Dylan deserves a Nobel Prize is certainly a contender. (Found on a trawl through arbitrary parts of the archives; I'm sure there are plenty more like it.)
My apologies for starting such a boring tangent,
19: Point taken, but I see plenty of iPhones in the majority non-white areas I know of. They're outnumbered by Androids but they're still there.
22: I'm not sure it's actually any more boring than the topic of the OP, but that's just me. I have an iPhone 5S and I like it fine.
23.last: As I read that sentence I thought you were going to claim that we've had a lot more boring tangents than that one.
AIPMANATP*, my nearsightedness is strong enough that I have trouble with really small screens. I haven't taken a look at the new iPhones, but I get nauseous after reading text - even text with largish fonts - on the 4/5 models. The Nexus 4 (which is the phone I've been using for a little over a year now) is just about at my limit, and Android has hitherto had better accessibility settings than iOS, especially for browsers. I might consider an iPhone in the future if they keep the larger models.
*As I've probably mentioned ad nauseum at this point
I have a 4s through work, soon to be upgraded to a 5 and maybe that one will help me understand the love of Apple. My personal phone is a Galaxy 4 and for me it's a way nicer more intuitive device than that iphone.
I'm torn about the iPhone 6. On the one hand, I love that they've finally gone back to curved edges and metal back. It's the first iPhone that feels as nice as the original iPhone. Also, I like gaming on it a lot. But on the other hand, I really don't like the size in terms of not being able to use it while walking, worrying about dropping it when holding with one hand, etc. On the gripping hand, the web was quickly making the old size obsolete as the edges of the screen get filled with stupid bars and ads that stop you from being able to see the damn page. So it's not clear how long the old size would have still been viable anyway.
As far as I can tell, there are no competitors offering top notch phones at the old iPhone size, so even if I decided I liked the old size I don't think there's another company I could switch to anyway.
This thread didn't strike me as unusually or even remarkably white for Unfogged. I guess it may be now because white people love to talk about whiteness.

Yes, I was just doing my fair share.
32 to 31, obviously.
The fun thing about the usage map is cutting down just to blackberries. The USA just disappears. But they are big in Paris.
High usage of Blackberries in Britain possibly reflects that they were standard issue in the civil service until about a year ago and they probably haven't finished replacing them.
Supposedly they are/were popular with young people in the UK because of BBM. There was a rash of media/police ccommentary in the wake of the riots.
A lot of people I know who had corporate issued mobiles had Blackberries until very recently, and yeah, my younger relatives used to have them. Most are on Android or 4S/5 generation iPhones, now.
On topic because internet.
Well-played Google (possibly only works in Chrome).
That's pretty great. And worked in Firefox.
37: Whatever it is, it doesn't work in IE.
Microsoft isn't wasting your tax dollars.
Anyway, it didn't work in IE for me either.
The zoom on 19 is impossible for me to control.
40: It's the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.
I just noticed 19. If somebody living in my old house was tweeting, I could tell what they were tweeting with.
I enjoy that the map has a label for Duck Hollow.
Since everyone is being useless assholes and not entertaining me via comments they need to read and remark upon Slate's "Year of Outrage" collection. #8 "How Outrage Changed My Life" by Andrew Goldman is pretty intense,
In light of what happened after, this is the moment I've thought about every day since, the thing that my mind always goes to when I can't sleep and I need to take inventory of the great mistakes and regrets of my life. How, as a father of two, could I have been so selfish and shortsighted to risk a steady paycheck? It's been 801 days now and, whenever I see 3 a.m., it's still there, hanging on to the No. 1 blackest spot in my soul.yet still whiny.
It's hard not to sound like I'm angling for sympathy, so I'll spare you the gories on the depths of where the mind goes after being declared an enemy of women when you feel confident that you've spent your entire life respecting them. I'll leave it at this: I am less now than I was before. I am older in the worst way. I'm scared to embrace the quality that made my column great--my mouthiness. I've yet to fully recover, professionally or personally.
My cunning plan to induce activity in other threads appears to have worked.
They should also watch this brilliant (and short-ish) piece titled "Unedited Footage of a Bear".
The 6 is my first real cell phone, but I wouldn't want to read text on anything much smaller, and even this size leaves the keyboard a little smaller than I'd like. Too bad about your tiny girlhands, ogged.
48: It's been 801 days now
Contrarian take on the length of a year?
22: stormcrow, it's so white of you to have apologized like that. but--andhear me out--couldn't you have done it in an inauthentic way that tried to signal you were down with the gente, but failed because it incorporated late 90s hip-hop slang? no, early 90s hip-hop slang?
Too bad about your tiny girlhands, ogged.
They were big enough for you at the meetup, but I guess the iPhone 6 is a relatively huge 5.5 inches.
I wanted to get Note, but decided there were so many other things I could spend $500 on that were more important.
37. CSS transforms, not javascript or flash. WOrks in safari on ios 7 as well.
Note that google implemented 3 different transform instances for three different platforms to make this work for more people.
There's tension between people pushing at the edges of platforms like this (how much of a element is actually implemented?) and people working to write browsers on more and weaker OSs.
Dave DeSandro looks to have some interesting work.
Whenever I see someone with an iPhone 6 Plus, I think it it looks like a cartoon phone. As in, that's not actually a phone, right? Just a ridiculous stage prop, like those giant sunglasses people put on for wedding photo booths? Then, to reduce my cognitive dissonance, I just imagine the person as rather tiny, and then it becomes a normal-size iPhone.
I don't know why exactly I feel saddened to learn that even the apostropher now carries a cellular telephone. It feels like the passing of an era.
I agree with 57 - when I've seen people with iPhone 6+s (on the bus, mostly), they just look absurd. Then again, I still use my 3GS, although I keep planning to upgrade - just not sure what to get. I'm open to advice/opinions if people have any to share.
Can you just get an iPad mini that can take calls? Because I don't use my phone for calls often.
