I don't care about the new iPhone. I have a 5s and still under contract so probably won't get the new one. But, I can't wait for the new iOS that is coming out. The feature to leave a group text is enough for me to want that upgrade as soon as possible. I just got my 5 back in May. I don't upgrade until left with no choice. But I can not WAIT for the feature to leave group texts. They drive me NUTS! I will love this. While I enjoy some group texts others annoy me. I too am limping along with my cracked iphone 4 so I can get the six. Of course since I could care less about what phone I have I'm taking my daughters 5s so she can have the 6. She loves having the latest phone and as she is a straight A student I indulge her when I can.

What exactly is iWatch? I'm painfully out of touch these days. Nobody knows. Nobody even knows if there is one coming for sure. An Apple "smart watch" has been predicted for quite some time but I personally have never believed they will do one. If they do announce some kind of wearable, I think it's going to be something that is more along the lines of activity bands like Jawbone UP, Fitbit Flex, etc.. Apple announced HealthKit as part of iOS 8 and I wouldn't be surprised to see them release hardware that ties into that some way. An actual smart watch along the lines of the Pebble or those godawful watches from Samsung? That would shock the hell out of me.

... I haven't seen anything online about it. I've read about it several places online, and am looking forward to it. If I'm not already due for an upgrade, I will be in February, which isn't that far away.

My phone seems to have died... I have a 5... i was hoping it would make it until the 6 comes out. But it won't charge and it is my only phone.
Waaaaaaa!

Apparently, I'm living under a rock I have not heard about a new iOS. What?!? Leave group texts!!! That feature I'm gonna love!

I have a 5s and depending on the size of the 6, I may pass on it. Pretty confirmed rumor, there are going to be 2. One with a 4.7 screen and the other with a 5.5. The 5.5, for me is a bit too big, however the 4.7? Give it to me NOW!!!!! I think the 4.7 screen will be good for me, but depending on the price of the 5.5 I might go for it.

While I am hoping for a bigger screen with the new phone, what I won't like is all new cases, all new protective covers, all new chargers, etc. I don't deal well with some change! haa

I have a 4S and am not really in any hurry to upgrade. However, if there is a new IOS introduced, I may have to as I strongly suspect they will not include the 4S in that upgrade. I do hope they offer the new phone in 2 sizes, as I am not interested in the larger screen. I have an old 4, not even the 4s. There will be no upgrading to a new IOS for me- it is a dinosaur. LOL

Apple just moved to Lightning a couple models ago; they are not going to make another change now.

I'll be getting it for sure. I have the iphone 5 and I've just started having battery issues, but of course not included in the replacement program. Sigh.

They just had to go and change it. HA so Im sure when I get the newer one, the charger plug I have will not fit the newer 6.

I have a friend of a friend who has a relative who works for Fedex, the shipper of Apple products. They expect to be quite busy in September, so I think probably it is true. I am putting off my ipad purchase until then, to see what they come out with next. If nothing else, I may save some $$ on the current model.

I have an old 4, not even the 4s. There will be no upgrading to a new IOS for me- it is a dinosaur. LOL I understand. My tendency is to keep my phone and iPad until the bitter end. I hate change and hate to spend the money. DH finally forced me to upgrade from my original iPad at Christmas by gifting me a new iPad Air. He figured he'd better get the latest and greatest because I'd probably have it quite a while! I hear you. I have an Ipad. The only reason? Because the boy's dad (my ex) passed down his old one to the boy. The boy then got one assigned to him at school last year (and the school realistically didn't say only school work-basic rules are no bullying, no terrorism and no naked stuff.) So, since he has the latest and greatest from school, he gave me the ipad from his dad. (hee hee, if he knew it would end up with me he probably would have given to the homeless guy on the street first.) But while it works just fine, it is so old that I couldn't even upgrade with ISO 7.

Thanks eebud! I hope I won't have to upgrade my 4s because of the new iOS making it run slow or sucking up the battery life.
