Apple Lines Forever
Size Matters

  

For the past two weeks I've been riding my bicycle past the local Apple retail store almost every day with hopes of being able to walk in and simply look at the new iPhones. I won't stand in line. I thought perhaps today, finally, there might not be any line. I was wrong: a line of about 15 people were waiting outside the door. The store itself did not look all that busy inside so I assume they were "triaging" at the door. The fact that the lines are still there, and now that Apple is selling the new iPhones in China, my hunch is the local retail Apple stores have some inventory on hand. 

Macrumors is reporting:

The iPhone 6 Plus is expected to account for 60% of total iPhone 6 device shipments as sales of the device are exceeding initial expectations, reports Digitimes. The information comes from industry sources observing parts shipments to longtime Apple suppliers Foxconn and Pegatron.

I would have thought the "6" would have been too big. But the other day I was able to hold the iPhone 6 -- I happened to be in a Target store where they had the "6" on display (but not the 6 Plus). I was quite positively impressed. Next to the iPhone 6, the iPhone 5s looked old and clunky. The iPhone 6 was sleek, slick, and not a bit too big. It doesn't feel bigger than the 5s because it's very, very slim, and rounded edges all around. I also thought the touchscreen on the iPhone 6 was so much more responsive than the iPhone 5s. I don't plan on ever buying a smart phone but after seeign the iPhone 6, it's hard not to buy one. They really are incredible.
