Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hi Annie, I think I am about to take the plunge and get the 6. Are you still finding ways in which VoiceOver is not working the way you expected it to? When you're in Safari, can you go backwards to the web page you were on immediately before? Have you tried the on-screen braille and is it easy to learn to do? Can you, or anyone, suggest pod-casts that address on-screen brailling? Thanks so much, and I'm so glad you are happy with your 6. That's encouraging!

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Yes, Jonathan is absolutely correct! I use to use a bt keyborard all the time with the 5S, but the six plus gives me enough space to place my hands and touch type. And contrarry to what some say, the six plus, does work better with the KNFB reader better than the 6. I have used both extensively to test this, and that was 1 of the reasons I went with the plus. And the battery life? OMG! I only have to charge my phone every 3 days, instead of every day, or day and a half. I thought I would hate the big screen, but now that I have used it, I will never go back!

I heard that to be so from another user with a hearing impediment.

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
I think the bending issue with the iPhone 6 Plus was much to do about nothing. I personally wouldn't worry about it. I suppose if you're frequently sitting on your iPhone then it might be an issue, but the iPhone 6 Plus doesn't bend any more than other devices it's size, and I think common sense will prevail. I didn't think the camera in the iPhone 6 Plus was any better than that in the 6. I thought the only additional feature it had was the stabilization function. I would think the usefulness of this would depend on which OCR app you're using. Can you get a look at the iPhone 6 Plus before you buy it? I'd think this would help you determine if it'll be too big or not. On 11/22/2014 10:08 AM, Christina C. wrote: Hello, I have a 5S and am considering upgrading to 6 Plus.

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hi, I'm not a camera aficionado so can't speak to that In depth but can say that it performs well with OCR and identification apps. Again I can't address whether it does better than does the 6. As for the size while it is larger than I'd wish maneuvering it into one's purse was a funny thought process at first to decide where it'd be safest (girl problems laughs) I can say what drew me to the 6 plus was not its size or even the camera but the battery life. through normal daily usage, I.E. limited use as an actual phone compiled with much use of various apps both which use data transfer and those that do not I can take the phone off charger say on a Tuesday morning and still be sitting around 80% Thursday morning. the battery life is amazing. As to whether or not that'd be enough of a draw for a 5s user to select it over a regular 6 I can't say. That is a very personal choice. I originally used my 6 plus in the very minimalist Apple Genuine Leather case for the first month. Now I have a bit more sturdy protective case with built in screen protector on it similar to the otterbox defender. Either way I never felt at risk of bending the device. However, I also wasn't trying to squeeze it into a pocket that was too small for it, sitting on it or other wise putting it at potential risk for such bending. I hope that helps. Good luck with whatever you decide. Robin -Original Message- From: Christina C. Sent: Saturday, November 22, 2014 11:08 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hello Christina, I thought along the same lines as yourself. However, having seen and held a 6 Plus, I’ve decided I wouldn’t like it. I just listened to the Today In IOS podcast. They were discussing how common the 6 Plus camera freezing and producing blurry images. It doesn’t look like it is a common problem but it is for some people. I would be still interested in the extra battery life. But I’m not so sure about the image stabilisation being that beneficial. Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching.

RE: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hi Christina, First of all, that bending issue was just an Apple attack and totally blown out of proportion. You can bend any iPhone and when this came up independent companies did tests and found that the 6 Plus is harder to bend than some of its Android or Windows competitors of that size. As for the camera, you will be wasting your money upgrading from a 5S to a 6 Plus. The 6 Plus has optical image stabilization which may make a difference in some situations, but I don't even know if apps like Camfind or KNFB Reader take advantage of it. Apart from that the camera is marginally improved, really, the improvements are minor and I doubt you'll ever notice the difference. The 5S has a fantastic camera. Other than that you will find once again a minor improvement in speed, but even in benchmark tests the difference between the A8 chip of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and the A7 chip in the 5S is only about 20 or 25% and once again, you'd rarely notice a difference in real life applications. The only major advantage of the 6 Plus would be very significantly improved battery life since it's such a large phone that there is room for a huge battery. Oh, yes, one other good thing would be that you'll be able to use Apple Pay, but since it's still rolling out and not that much available yet, I don't think you really sacrifice that much by waiting until next fall. In my opinion the upgrade is totally worth it if you had a 4S, it would be a good improvement if you had a 5 or 5C, but if you have a 5S and it is working well and you aren't in a situation where you maybe bought a 16 Gb version and really find you should have bought a 64 Gb version then it's a waste of money and you'll regret it when the next iPhone comes out in the fall of 2015. I just heard that Sony showed off it's newest camera which is a 21 Megapixel camera with all sorts of fancy stuff on it. Apparently it would also illuminate the need for the camera lense to stick out a bit as it does on the 6 and 6 Plus. Since Apple has been using an 8 Megapixel sensor now for 4 years in a row with just improvements to things like the flash and pixel size and so on, I really think that next year's iPhone will get a major camera upgrade and I already read that they could very well go to that 21 Megapixel camera since they are using Sony hardware for the camera already. Having said all that, what size iPhone 5S do you have? Also, from which carrier is it and is it unlocked? If you end up getting rid of it I might be interested in buying it from you for my wife.

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Hi Christina, yes, I absolutely am loving my 6 Plus. Best phone I've ever owned. As Robyn has said, the battery life is enough of a reason in itself. Being able to crank up GPS, music, and other apps when you're away from a power source for a long time and not have to worry about running out of juice is liberating. If you are a Braille user, you may also like the fact that the larger screen makes Braille screen input a breeze, and I think the larger screen also helps for direct touch typing. Both of these options mean I use my external Bluetooth keyboard hardly ever now. KNFB Reader have said on Twitter that the 6 Plus is the best phone to use with it right now because of optical image stabilisation. This is particularly the case if you have issues keeping the camera totally steady when taking a picture. It's also very fast, but of course, so is the 6. I wouldn't like to return to a smaller phone, and hope Apple keeps a device in this screen size in future. Definitely get your hands on one before buying if you can though. It's not to everyone's taste.

Re: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Yes, absolutely for all the reasons already mentioned though I can't speak to knfbreader since i haven't purchased that. The battery life is wonderful! I just love the feel of it in addition to all the practical reasons! -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

RE: Are you loving your iPhone 6 plus?
Jonathan, Someone was here at the house last weekend and had one of the other phones, an older version, I won't mention its name, laughs! It was so large I asked him if it was his notebook and he said no it was his phone. I took a look at it and even without having voice on it I was so impressed with it that now I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on an iPhone six plus. Of course until I am eligible for my upgrade it will probably be the 7 Plus. But I'll take what I can get as long as it is a larger size because I liked what I saw with the other guys but I got to have Apple Accessibility, Smile!
