You might recall that I ordered my 6 plus using the Apple Store app, ordered it early the first morning they were available, but they couldn't get through to AT&T to verify my information so sent me the reservation email. Thus, it was actually the next day before I officially placed my order.

I don't know all of the details about why IOS 8.0.1 was released by mistake, but if it really was just human error then that would trouble me greatly. Large companies, like Apple, when they're releasing an update to a major operating system of theirs, has processes in place to make sure things

To put things into perspective the IPhone 6 is about the size of a 5s with a case on it. It really isn't much larger. Because of its shape it is actually more comfortable in the hand. On 9/25/14, Alan Paganelli wrote: > The iPhone 5 will go by the wayside as it's only 32 bit. > > > Regards, > > A
