iPhone 6 Plus “Concerns”

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

So of course you know that I have already ordered my new Apple iPhone 6 Plus. This morning I woke up to the news that the phone bends because it is so thin and that you shouldn’t put it in the microwave.

Are you kidding me?

Smartphones are mini mobile computers. They need to be protected. That’s why most people buy sturdy cases for them because when dropped, they can shatter. When you sit on them, they can break. When you put them in the microwave they can be electrocuted. The “putting it in the microwave” suggestion came from a bogus “bake” App that people actually believed was true. Doesn't everyone know that you don’t put metal anything in a microwave oven?

Personally, I can’t wait until my iPhone 6 Plus arrives, I already have the protective case for it.

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Arrive Sort Of

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

For those who were able to get through on the website for pre-orders some of you got your iPhones today. For those of you who waited in long lines at Apple Stores many more of you got your iPhones today. For those of you contracted with carriers Verizon, Sprint and AT&T and went to your local Best Buy Store many of you were able to get both models without having to wait in long lines overnight.

For those with T-Mobile things were different. On pre-order night, you couldn’t purchase a T-Mobile iPhone in the Apple App store on your iPad or iPhone. Today, if you went to a T-Mobile store anywhere in the Los Angeles area, you might have been lucky to get an iPhone 6, but none of the stores   ̶  I was told by a forthright store manager had any iPhone 6 Plus phones to sell. She said the quantities were extremely limited and didn't expect the iPhone Plus until October. We all know that T-Mobile is the smallest of the major US cell phone providers, however their customers deserve better.

Is this a T-Mobile issue or an Apple issue or both?

We’ll see in the days ahead whether more new iPhone models will be allocated for T-Mobile.

Just asking.

iPhone 6 is a Sellout

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

This should come as no surprise, Apple has done it again! They have set a new sales record for their biggest seller, the iPhone. This despite the miserable and frustrating pre-ordering process that so many experienced last week.

Apple announced that 4-million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Smartphones sold in the first 24 hours. The iPhone 6 Plus sold out before the iPhone 6 suggesting that consumers really wanted an iPhone with a larger screen.

To put some perspective to this, the iPhone 5 pre-orders were 2-million in 2012. Apple didn’t take pre-orders for the iPhone 5s and industry sources estimated that the iPhone 5c sold 2.2 million pre-orders in 2013.

The large number of pre-orders will undoubtedly break more records as this Friday, September 19th when the devices appear at brick and mortar Apple and cellular carrier stores

Were you one of the lucky ones that has an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus pre-ordered?

Or will we see you standing in line at retailers this Friday?

Thoughts About the New Apple Products In My Office Today

Greetings from Mobile Generated News® MoGN!

If you’ve followed this blog for even a short period of time you know that I am not a big fan of “Wearable Technology”. As much as I am a fan of Apple and their products, even if I had money to burn, I wouldn’t buy an Apple Watch.

However, the figures are in from last year. Nearly 1.2 million “Smartwatches” were sold for Android phones!

Think about it, 1.2 million!

There was a lot of talk around the office about Apple’s Big Event yesterday and what it really came down to was Apple vs. Android. The engineering types love Android for its open architecture and all the things they can do with it. I am Apple to the core because I admire the intuitiveness and quality of their products. Although the Apple Watch may not be for me, I will bet that many other Apple lovers will buy it.

Other people in my office “focus group” said they can’t wait to get one and some thought it was too pricey. Still others were frustrated that they couldn’t buy one until next year.

On the other hand, I can’t wait to get my new iPhone 6 Plus…

What are your thoughts about the Apple Watch or Smartwatches in general? How about the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus?
