iPhone 6 omnibus thread

Hopefully by christmas. Too bad they said early 2015.

Missed that part.

[Deval]

So, waiting for the store page to update!

 

I want the watch, and now with 64GB as midtier, kickass.

[jroepcke51]

Missed that part.

Thats all right. I am refreshing the apple store to see if Band 41 is enabled.

[nobius]

Love that the mid-tier model is 64GB.  Last time the middle model was 32GB and I'd love to have more.

[jamisonshaw125]

Leaks were really on point this year. Robots. All I can say.

I'm refreshing iTunes because U2 is my favorite band.

Did they say anything about the release of iOS8?

I don't recall those breaking news alerts for a Moto, HTC, or Samsung product.

Interesting...  Still no Band 12.  Poor USCC.  They still can't use their iPhones on their main band around here. 

 

Edit:  But what is even better...  All those T-Mobile customers expecting better coverage when B12 deploys...  Sure hope they don't buy the iPhone 6!

Ah, now I can watch the video on the apple website.

September 17th.

As I said before. Apple basically forced USCC to deploy band 5 because they wouldn't make a band 12 device.

although someone else beat me....

[Deval]

I applaud the move from 32->64GB, just wish it wasn't a $100 pure profit move.

[GoBigRed79]

Has there been any mention of off contract pricing yet?  Wife is going to want this.

[WiWavelength]

Now, what did I tell you guys over the past few weeks?  With this iPhone, you would not get everything -- band 41, carrier aggregation, and band 12.  And guess what?  I was spot on.  You got just one of the three.  So, celebrate your victory but acknowledge your multiple defeats.

[Fraydog]

Cue Magenta complaining about B12 in 3...2...1...

[uecker87]

Glancing through the FCC docs...  Looks like it might be a pretty good B25 performer, average B26, and good for B41.

[S4GRU]

For those of you concerned about B41 Carrier Aggregation, AJ told you all in advance that the new iPhones would not support it.  The chip they are using is limited to only a total of 20MHz aggregated.  Adding up all the aggregated channels cannot exceed 20MHz.  So you can do two 10MHz channels, or two 5MHz channels.  But you cannot do two 20MHz channels...on any provider.

 

Since Sprint is only doing CA on B41 using 20MHz channels, the current iPhone cannot support widths that wide.  So Tmo and VZW 20MHz channels cannot do CA either with these new iPhones.  Or 15MHz channels.  Just two equal sized 10MHz or 5MHz can be aggregated with the iPhone 6 and 6+.  It cannot even do two dissimilar sized carriers, like a 5MHz + 10MHz together.

 

But the B41 inclusion is a big coup for you all.  Welcome to Triband!  Congrats!

Lol, no band 12, so sad. Nah, not really.

Looks like Legere could not sway Apple.  Apple just does what it wants.  B12 would have been good for more than just Tmo, though.  It also would have been good for Sprint, USCC and other rural providers.
