The phone is so responsive to commands, the battery life is amazing, relatively speaking, and the versatility seemingly limitless. I have not truly enjoyed conversing on a mobile phone since the early 90s when phones were much larger. However, with my 6 Plus, I actually prefer to hold the phone up to my face, during calls, as it feels like a normal-size receiver. The sound quality on the 6/6 Plus is awesome, also. I could go on and on about the marvelous properties of the 6 Plus but doing so is not the purpose of this post. Although I never dreamed it would happen, I have to say that I am now using the iOS Apple Maps more than any other, off-the-shelf software GPS navigation solution. Yes, I am even liking it more than A T & T Navigator. Please note that this does not include Seeing Eye GPS as it provides a level of feedback that is unparalleled in that it provides cross-street announcements that sighted travelers do not require. Earlier today, I sent a letter to Apple thanking them for making their iOS Apple Maps so very VoiceOver accessible. I wanted to acknowledge that unlike so many other mapping services, they did not forget those of us who are blind or low vision. At a time when so many of us, humans that is, are so fast to point out flaws and so slow to offer compliments, I wanted Apple to know that I owe a great deal of my ever-increasing independence to their consideration and efforts. So, the reason I am posting is to invite you to send Apple some love by sending in some positive feedback about whatever you like about their products. For example, today I submitted comments about how much I am truly enjoying the iOS 8.1.2 Apple Maps app via VoiceOver. You may send Apple feedback via it's feedback portal at: http://www.apple.com/feedback Let's All Make a Joyful Noise This Year.

Re: How About Sending Apple Some Love
My kids will be inheriting our iPhone 5S’s when our new phones arrive. This will be their first mobile phone and I am actually grateful that they can have a phone of this size because it just seems to make sense for younger ones to have a smaller phone. So, I kind of hope in the future apple will not continue to make larger and larger phones. I hope it does not become a trend for apple to eventually phase out smallish iPhones and only make huge ones. I think the 6 plus is already plenty large.

The iPhone 6 does have an A8 processor in it while the 5s has an A7 processor in it.

Re: How About Sending Apple Some Love
Mark, Thanks for sharing all this info. I have been waiting for my iPhone 6 plus for a couple of weeks now and I am quite nervous about whether I will like it or not due to the size. I keep imagining this giant slab of metal against my face when talking on the phone. LOL! I wanted the extra battery life and the image stabilization on the camera and am willing to give it a whirl. :) I have to get a new purse though. LOL! I have never been able to figure out apple maps. When you ask Siri to navigate to a specific place and she does, is she accessing apple maps? That is the absolute most I’ve ever been able to do. I only do that when someone is driving me somewhere. Otherwise, I’ve tried to use apple maps to take a walk in my neighborhood and then ask apple maps to take me home and I just cannot get it to work at all. Then I can’t figure out how to use apple maps to find out where I am in my neighborhood. I wanted to learn the layout of my neighborhood. :( Anyways, if you know of a good podcast for apple maps, please let me know.

RE: How About Sending Apple Some Love
Hi Mark, I would be quite interested in your walk-through of Apple Maps as well and I'm sure others are, so please do post it online or, if you do a review or Podcast on some place like Applevis let the list know. What I don't logically understand is why Apple Maps on a 6 Plus running 8.1.2 should be a much better experience than on a 5S running 8.1.2. Apart from the larger screen there is little difference between the two phones as far as I can tell when it comes to the components which effect Apple Maps. You said yourself that you did not have 8.1.2 installed on your 5S. Regards, Sieghard -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

Better watch out, Mark, if Pablo reads your message he may shoot you *smile* -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

I have not truly enjoyed conversing on a mobile phone since the early 90s when phones were much larger.

How About Sending Apple Some Love
Hello Everyone, Okay, I am completely and totally in love with my new iPhone 6 Plus running 8.1.2. It's really that simple. The phone is so responsive to commands, the battery life is amazing, relatively speaking, and the versatility seemingly limitless. I have not truly enjoyed conversing on a mobile phone since the early 90s when phones were much larger. However, with my 6 Plus, I actually prefer to hold the phone up to my face, during calls, as it feels like a normal-size receiver. The sound quality on the 6/6 Plus is awesome, also. I could go on and on about the marvelous properties of the 6 Plus but doing so is not the purpose of this post. Although I never dreamed it would happen, I have to say that I am now using the iOS Apple Maps more than any other, off-the-shelf software GPS navigation solution. Yes, I am even liking it more than A T & T Navigator. Please note that this does not include Seeing Eye GPS as it provides a level of feedback that is unparalleled in that it provides cross-street announcements that sighted travelers do not require. Earlier today, I sent a letter to Apple thanking them for making their iOS Apple Maps so very VoiceOver accessible. I wanted to acknowledge that unlike so many other mapping services, they did not forget those of us who are blind or low vision. At a time when so many of us, humans that is, are so fast to point out flaws and so slow to offer compliments, I wanted Apple to know that I owe a great deal of my ever-increasing independence to their consideration and efforts.
