that could work...they are also making an 18K Apple Watch Edition with the "hardest" gold in the world.

Agree 10k is harder...
I think they meant hardest 18k.

Seems to me the only thing selling well IS smart phones ....in one mall in Houston I counted 4 kiosk and 3 stores.

The new iPhone 6 is hot! I am definitely getting it. Preorders start this Friday 9/12 (assuming the usual 1:00am PST/3:00am EST time), for deliver Friday 9/12. I will definitely be setting my alarm to preorder :)

[GermanyMatt]

Me too provided they will sell an unlocked version.

The markets going crazy today. What's going on.

On another note, why would you spend 350 for a watch that will be out dated every year or even sooner. I must be missing something about this iWatch

Secondary resale market will support. I know a lot of people who buy new a new iPhone as soon as it's released, and they sell their old phone to cover some of the cost.

annnnnd now the stock is down lol

[77T]

I watched the stock price during announcement. I know it's not a perfect barometer but here's my

Up before announcement.

Up some more as iPhone 6 & 6+ are unveiled and stayed pretty steady at that level.

Up again on news of ApplePay and IIRC it was up about 3-4% at that point.

Then "One More Thing" - Apple Watch - and shares began to slip. Kept slipping during U2 performance. Lost all gains during the live announcements.

Then went truly negative when Tim Cook gave away 500 million free copies of new U2 album via iTunes. By my reckoning that was almost $50 Billion USD in free stuff...nice for iTunes customers...not floating institutional investor's boats.

Got it, lol I still have my first few iPhones in a drawer
Thanks Matt I'm considering buying my first Apple lap top in the next few weeks, Mac Pro/Air, ? the one that you can burn DVD or CD.

[GermanyMatt]

I have both - my wife loves her MB Air, I love my MB Pro with the retina display. Really depends on if you need the ultra-light portability or not. I would personally buy the 13.3 MB Pro retina - close to best of both worlds. Buy a USB burner - neither the Air or Pro has a built in super drive any longer.

The new iPhone looks very nice. I may replace my Nexus 5 with one.

[lamscott]

Getting the new iphone. laughing at whoever buys the apple watch.

[Kingair]

Here is what the stock did in the meantime. . .

Yes, you're way overdue for a new phone.

FWIW, the iPhone 4s was a great phone. I really like the weight. It felt like it was overbuilt. The 5/5s felt much cheaper and that was the reason why I sold my 5s. The new phones appear to be much nicer.

[shay2nak]

iPhone 6 is ugly. Thanks for the 4.7 screen. Steve Jobs would not approve. I don't think I'll ever give up my 4S. I just wish 32gb was avail when I bought it. 5S screen is awesome, but the phone is too tall. Apple should have kept the 4" screen and just made the phone smaller. At least have 4" and 4.7". 4.7 and 5.5? What a joke. I'm not blind, but I guess millions of other people are.

[airchitect]

I think the new phones are great but appear to have only caught up to the competition. I had hoped for a huge advancement as I've been waiting 9 months past my upgrade period opening for this thing. Now I'm just not sure.

The spec war is pointless. Although Apple often falls short when it comes to raw power, the way that every aspect of the phone comes together is better than most, if not every Android device.

Going to upgrade my 5 to 6+ in gold

Can't wait.

Yeah I just didn't feel the 5 was a big improvement. That and I bought this cool cherry wood caseback for my 4s that I really loved. I figured if it broke then I would switch, but years later it stands strong like Janay Rice.

Dreambeaux would approve. Gold baby!!!

[HL65]

Can't wait to get the 6!

well, 18k gold is 75% gold. It is difficult to get a good toughness value because of the relative higher gold content.

[watchdog507]

I've already called my provider to get one for me and my daughter. He's putting me on his preferred list.

[Wesley Crusher]

Which version are you guys planning on getting? If everything was the same, my first instinct would be to go with the 4.7", but the 5.5" has some nice upgrades so I am not sure which model to go with.

[sea-dweller]

My wife and I have 5C and 5S, debating on whether to upgrade or not...

[MortgageGuy]

I am in, now to decide between the 6 and the 6 plus... decisions decisions.
