See subject. You don’t really _have_ to. Only if you feel like it. ---

Did you hire a native bearer to tote it around, for you? ---

I’m about to have one. Someone ordered it for me today. Er, not a Plus just a regular 6s. I’ve never had a smartphone before - wish me luck! 🙂 (Actually wish my Facebook friends luck because their newsfeed is about to blow up with dog pics! Holla!) ---

Have they started with the “Here are the features in the iPhone 7 that will make your phone obsolete” articles yet? ---

Sure, my phone used to be it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I got isn’t it, and what’s it seems shiny and unaffordable to me, and it’ll happen to you. ---

Eh. I’m not digging the phablets. I wear ladies jeans and pants and the GS6edge I already have barely fits in some of the pockets when I need to do that at work. I could probably figure out something else with my bag, but not so much the pants. ---

Excellent. I’m in the market for a used iPhone5 - I’m assuming the price will be trending gently downward now thanks to selfless people such as yourself 😃 ---

I haven’t seen a compelling reason to upgrade from my 5s yet. Plus I already have a mini iPad and don’t need another one. ---

Awesome. Now watch them introduce something totally insane in iOS10.5 that’s supposed to humiliate both your 6s+ and my 6 , and which neither of us actually needs or has any use for. But who am I to talk, I held on to a 3GS from February 2010 to March 2015… ---

On one hand I wish they’d make an iPhone the size and form of the last couple generations of iPod touch. On the other If I do get a 6s it will be a plus because I like picture/video viewing with a bigger screen and the rotating home screen. ---

My 6+, now a few months old, interrupted me while I was presenting to a group with an important prerecorded phone call from my wireless carrier trying to get me to trash it in favor of a 6+S. Does the 6+S figure out whether the caller is an asswipe phone store grubbing after even more money, and somehow mess them up instead of messing me up? Because if it doesn’t, I don’t see the point… ---

> [@mack](#): > > On one hand I wish they’d make an iPhone the size and form of the last couple generations of iPod touch. FWIW, an analyst with a decent track record of predicting upcoming Apple product features says he believes the next generation iPhone will indeed be closer in thinness to the iPod touch. I doubt any new iPhone would have a screen the size of an iPod touch, however. ---
