The Wide, Wide World of Apple

I keep hearing from others that iphone 4S and IOS8 are incompatible, and tons of people regret updating.  Itunes keep asking me to "update" to IOS8, and I have to manually decline each time.  It is probably an Apple ploy to make me buy a new phone. 

Is the mob right to refuse to update to IOS8?

You can select "Don't ask me again" checkbox before selecting cancel.

I did notice that box, but I was worried that the default setting is to update.  So I am worried that if I check that box, itunes will simply automatically update my phone to IOS8 next time.

So let's just file this under "Mono is a nutjob Evidence No. 1414324"?

If you're happy with iOS7 then keep it, apps might stop being upgraded for that system in a while, but as long as it works it's going to operate smoother than iOS8.

I don't really use apps, and it has no internet connection (can't afford monthly fees).  It is just a phone + phone book + music player to me.

I've heard some whining about it, but my two cents is that my 4S took to iOS8 just fine.  Of course, with a device that old, the only real perk to upgrading was the predictive keyboard- the 4S can't even do AirDrop, but in my case that was a big enough deal to sell it on its own (I have a really, really hard time typing on the tiny 4S keyboard- it's the main thing that's got me considering a possible 6 or 6+ upgrade).

Oh, and the contact shortcuts on the task launcher, but I haven't been using that as much, since my crazy schedule doesn't exactly leave me a ton of time to use the phone.

I saw a demo iphone 6+ the other day.  I was very surprised that, despite having a much larger screen, the 6+ is actually lighter than my 4S.

BUY IT.

BUY IT.

That's not how it works.  I never buy mobile phones.  The correct procedure is to wait for the wife to buy one for herself, wait for her to get tired of it, and wait for her to give it to me as a hand me down.  My iphone 4S was once hers

Debating whether I should consider a Galaxy Note 4. It seems huge, but someone was showing it to me, and that screen is gorgeous...

If screen quality's your deal, get an LG G3.  Note 4 does still have a nice screen, though.

Yeah my G3 has a really nice screen.  The Note 4 Curve (is that what it's called?) has an interesting little gimmick where the screen curves around one side a little for notifications and shit.  I haven't seen one in person though.

Note Edge.  And it's going to be a while before you do; the sucker's $400 with a 2-year contract.

I don't understand how they are pitching apple pay. While I can understand the transferring of funds to friends (sort of), I don't get why anyone would want to use their phone as a payment device. Too hard to swipe a credit card / pull out cash?
