Welcome - this site is a personal blog where I discuss issues related to Tech and Geography (two of my favorite issues) along with an occasional sports comment on one of my favorite teams.  There is no real schedule for updates, I will simply add things as something interesting comes up.  Comments in this blog are the thoughts and opinions of the author, and do not reflect the position of Oklahoma State University or the OSU Department of Geography in any manner.

iPhone 6/6 Plus - a New Beginning

Well, I recently purchased both the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and I have to say that I am unsurprisingly impressed.  This comment is not meant to be a full review, just a few of my observations, so read it as such.

At this time I carry the 6 Plus daily, and after having all 3 previous Samsung Note's, I can say that the new iPhone phablet is in their league.  While it is different (IOS vs Android, the stylus, etc), both provide the user with an incredible amount of screen space while still being pocketable.

I am also impressed with the way the 6 Plus runs in iPad mode when you rotate it to landscape mode.  This is a very nice touch when the apps are built to use the function.  Also, the camera on this beast is as good as any phone camera available.  If you really want to take a top class photo then get a real camera, but for the compromises made in using a phone camera this one is still quite good. 

At this point I may pass the iPhone 6 to someone in my family since I find myself really hooked on the 6 Plus.  This is not a knock on the 6, just a preference - it is a great phone too.  If you are in the market for a new phone and iOS is your thing I can heartily recommend both - pick either and you will be happy.

Finally - my phone is not bent - I do not sit on it!!  This whole issue is overblown - it is just physics - sit on a big aluminum phone and it just might bend.

Have a great week!!
