I just got a new iPhone 6 plus, 64GB. The price in full was $400 (with a 2yr contract). Then they gave me $200 for my old iPhone in an upgrade promotion. On top of that, I've just been informed that as a new Verizon customer, they're giving me $150 credit. So all in all, the cost of me switching from AT&T to Verizon with a brand new iPhone 6 plus was $50. W00t!
I've never owned a "big" phone before. This thing is HUGE. The first day I got it, I thought about sending it back. Even though I have big hands it just seemed impossible to use one handed. A day later and I'm already getting used to it. I have all of my pdf manuals on my phone and it's great reading them on a large screen whereas before I was straining my eyes a bit. And the battery is a monster compared to my old 4S. After about 12 hours of quite heavy use (lots of web surfing) I still had over 50% left.
Sorry to hijack this Android thread by raving about my new iPhone, but it didn't seem worth starting a new thread...
