The stream is in and out.

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus look great. But they're going to cost a bundle. Sticker shock in 10... 9...

Not too bad on price. I typically upgrade every other cycle, so I always get the subsidized price. My kids get my old phones iff they break theirs. Somewhat unbelievably with 3-4 teens in the house each with iPhone, macair, and iPad, i have a total of 2 non-warranty repairs since 2008.

My decision to not buy insurance and Apple care has been well in my favor.

And...Im due for an upgrade this time

:D :D

Me too. Actually I broke even on my current quad i7 Thunderbolt MBP 15. I sent it in for a new motherboard and refurbishment for $310.

I love this machine. 16GB ram, 500GB SD in hd bay, 1TB HDD in the optical bay. It's 3+ years old and still moves well.

The Apple Watch is interesting. Don't think I'll bite this round.

I'll bite on a iPhone 6, probably 64GB. I'll buy it outright, and continue with Tmobile prepay. I don't like contracts of any sort.

I'm still on a iPhone original 8GB. Hey, it works.
