Good lord picking out the best plan / buying options is a real PITA these days.

Just realized after my first iPhone, all I've ever had were plastic phones.

Alright so I finally sat down and looked at all the options. I *think* we will stick with AT&T since I still get a 20% discount for 'working at Honeywell'.

$100/month for 15GB shared data, two lines at $15 each, and then the NEXT plans being $31 for a 6S 64GB and $35 for a 6S+ 64GB.

Totaling ~$180 a month.

Does that look about right to all of you already on a similar plan?

Whiskers

I bought one to be shipped to me on the 25 and reserved two just for the hell of it. Anyone want to buy two Iphone 6s Pluses ?

Got my number ported to my TMobile phone. Good to go. I love that it supports Wifi calling. Mobile calls from my house no longer sound like

Doom878

Yes that's my plan too. 100GB for 15GB and $15 each line. I own my phone outright though. I get a 25% off from my job from 2008.

^Cool. That's what we are going to do. I'll miss my unlimited but frankly I'd rather have 10 fast gigs than 5 and being throttled. Fuckers.

My buddy who works at ATT said wait and just go into a smaller store on the 25th.

Costco

Kinda excited about this too. New iOS 9 feature

It's just nice to see. It seems as if Apple is trying to add more and more functionality, whereas Android is trying to make things more simplified and cohesive. Both OS's started off at opposite ends of the spectrum, now they're gradually gravitating towards the middle.

thoiboi

of course! I agree completely. I've always hated the Android v. Apple or Mac v. Windows debates.. Just a bunch of damn fanboys trying to outnerd each other.. My whole premise has always been: use the tool that best fits YOUR needs..

I'm glad that they're both becoming better for the status quo...

Doom878

^The only thing is if you buy a phone with the old pricing structure where the purchase price was $200 for a $600 iPhone, they'll raise your per line fee from $15 to $40. I think you're on Next so not an issue.

maharajamd

Android is still a convoluted fragmented OS. Unless you're a POWER user...I don't see why anyone would deal with that crap.

Edit: ^Yea you save money per line by doing Next.

Doom878

^Actually I don't have Next and still pay $15. My next phone I'll just buy outright and probably an older model ~$400. Likely another fragmented phone

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

If you BYOD I think it's $15 per line like the Next. I just don't feel like dropping $1400 on phones right now.

Have fun going to the dark side.

Costco

Yup. I've had devices on both platforms, phones and tablets. Android's update cycle is the most troubling. Nothing is guaranteed, even with a Nexus device (Google/Android's own product)

That said, it's not just for power users. I know tons of Android users that don't tinker at all. It's mostly about choice. When I went from an OG iPhone to a 3GS, other than the feel in hand and the speed, it felt like I mostly bought the same phone again, despite the 2 year gap. We shall see how I feel after a year with the new iPhone.

As mentioned, there's a device for everyone though. It does speak volumes for Apple given how many people have bought that one phone they offer (now two). Much easier to optimize everything when you design the software and hardware.

<p>The Android update cycle is horrible. But if you buy it directly from the manu IE: Moto you won't have to wait for approval on the update from the carrier.</p>

thoiboi

<p>Or instead of waiting for updates you can root it and run custom ROMs and Kernels like Cyanogenmod </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But I guess then again, I fall into the &quot;power user&quot; category... &nbsp;I always jailbreak my iPhone too..</p>

The wait list for buying a Nexus 6 from Motorola was way worse than even when iPhones were backordered at their worst.

I rooted my Nexus devices. I boned myself by getting an AT&T Note 4. Can't update, can't root Lollipop.

All my iPhones were JB'd too

Costco

the Android thread is leaking

thoiboi

How about that iOS 9?? <br /><br /><br />I'm excited to get it with my 6S and connect apple pay with my discover card to get 10% cash back...

Doom878

Yes sir. After JB'ed iPhone 4 gave me too many problems got a Note 2 refurb for $1 with a 2 year. When that crapped out after 2 years, Asurion insurance gave me a new Note 4 with a $100 deductible I honestly switched because iOS at the time was too restrictive vs JB'ed and Android had already a lot of those features without rooting. I understand Windows has even more customization but it's lack of 3rd party support held me back. If iOS opened it up some instead of being stubborn IMO, then I'd happily come back.

Mizouse

iOS 9 is today right?


I'll wait until later before updating. Let the other suckers out there deal with 0-day bugs.

Excellent

Doom878

I had uMlimited but with the slower data speeds even before throttling and it costs more than mobile share, it's not worth it anymore. (One line)

iTrader: (1)

<p>Yea now I'm unsure about what to do. Lol</p>

Mizouse

Worth it for me, I avg 10-15gb/month.

<p>I usually use a lot as well. But lately once I've gone over 5GB the throttle is so bad I just stop what I'm doing.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We'll go in and see what can be done.</p>
