I read the iPhone 11 review (several actually) and am now quite happy with my choice and can't wait for Friday morning to get here! :laugh:

It's good to know SOMEONE will be willing to listen! :laugh:

I'm more interested in the bigger storage for all the pictures I take, Ron. I've got zero music on my phone. Any music listening I do is at home (on my HT) or in my car (I keep a flash drive of mp3s there). Apple just gave me $60 on the iPhone 6. And while I may have reserved the...

Oh. And I even got an early "check-in" time of 9:30 to 10am. The store opens at 10am. Maybe that's an indication that this year's phone release isn't going over too well with customers? The 10-10:30 window was gone. But most of the rest of the day's half-hour blocks seemed available.

I just pre-ordered my iPhone 11 Black 256GB for September 20th pickup at my local Apple Store! They didn't have any 128GB phones available for 9-20 pickup at my local store so that kind of forced me into making a decision that will, ultimately, mean I am going to be tied to this phone for as...

Oh. I see. That's amazing. How does the surrender of my old iPhone get taken care of? And, the new phone comes ready-to-go? Do I have to switch the SIM card myself? You see, Ron--having never done this before--I figured if I had the phone delivered to me, I would have to still make a...

Is there an advantage to me pre-ordering my phone from Apple to be picked up at my local Apple store on 9-20? In other words, if I go through that process does it make an appointment for me to go to the store at a specific time to go through the purchase...or do I have to stand in line with the...

Let me speak for the posters in this thread to say how really surprised we are, Ron...

I don't think iCloud storage would work for me, Dave. I keep the iCloud setting turned off. I'm fine with regular phone backups onto my laptop. And each time I do a back-up, I go into the phone's storage and directly copy the images onto my laptop. I then just copy those images onto the...

Aw...thanks, Ron! I always smile whenever I see your avatar with your pups! And, I get a kick out of reading your posts whenever these threads come up. I think we can ALL appreciate the internal angst you go through of wanting to do the "responsible" thing and hold out...but that then the...

And the doggie portrait mode could actually be very useful...professionally and personally! The pendulum is starting to swing towards the 11! :rolling-smiley:

Josh and Dave: Many thanks. Lots to chew on there. Like the guy who runs his car into the ground, I run my iPhones until basically forced to buy a new one. I could keep my 6 going for a longer while, but the fact that it won't be able to download the new iOS upgrade in a few days has me...

But back to me...! :laugh: I've been giving this a lot of thought. Based on Thomas' breakdown (which I feel stupid about since all the info was right out there for me to find on my own--if I wasn't so hesitant), I have been weighing a LOT whether to get trade in my 6 for an XR (for $589) or...

Thanks, Thomas and Dave! Your input is very much appreciated and a huge help.. I'll be open to the 11...but the XR already is such a huge advance over the 6 that I'll probably be content with pocketing that $100. Maybe it's a long term bad decision, but I've been known to be pennywise and...

Ok, Tech-heads. The event has been held. Going back to the earlier discussion about my idea of upgrading my VERY-soon-to-be-outdated iPhone 6 (September 19th, I guess) to an iPhone XR. I was advised to wait (even though at the time I could get a $100 credit for trading in my iPhone 6 on an...

I've seen them instore. They are the slim bamboo iHome chargers in the vicinity of $9.xx. In the stores' clearance section.

Staples has some nice iHome wireless chargers in their clearance section right now. I got a couple for Peg's new XR. And...I decided to pick up a few for me, too! So now I guess I'm committed to that upcoming purchase...whenever it makes best sense.

Thanks, Sam & Dave for the insight and advice. Much appreciated. I'll wait it out and see what happens. Like I said, in an ordinary situation, I'd ride out the 6 until it developed issues. But if Apple ends support, it "allows" me to push the envelope (in my own mind) and upgrade to a...

I'm thinking about upgrading to an XR. My wife just got one after her iPhone 7 started to develop major connectivity issues. It's nice. I'm currently using an iPhone 6. Since it is still running like a champ, I normally wouldn't be considering the upgrade. But, apparently in a few months...
