Any iPhone is a good deal, they are true Life Companions and even better when your friends and family use them too.

iPhone 6s Plus 128GB is R20,999 at iStore, so this is indeed a very good deal.

Lol, I knew it...you're like Candyman for i-devices. Mention them a couple of times and PP appears :)

For completeness, I feel the same about flagship phone prices in general...I wouldn't pay what Samsung ask for an S7 either.

If one spends a lot of time on their phone, a flagship is worth it.

The great thing about iDevices is even the old ones get updates, and they remain fast. They also depreciate much less than other brands. So if you're not after the latest iPhone, you can be confident in buying an older one. :)

And thank goodness for those people. Without them, technological advancements would stagnate.

Let me ask you this. Have you ever used FaceTime, FaceTime Audio, or iMessage?

Have you ever used these from an Apple Mac computer?

Nope, and even if I had an Apple, FaceTime would be no use to me. I can do the same with Skype and I don't even use that...
 
Anyhow, don't want to spoil this thread with our drivel. I'll be happy to continue the conversation in a separate thread if you want to.

FaceTime is much better. And it fully integrates with Apple computers and other friends/family with Apple devices.

Apple makes life easier. Apple frees up time. There is a good reason why most well-educated/well-employed people buy Apple.

And the beauty of it all is that one does not need to keep up with the Joneses, because 4/5+ year old Apple products still work perfectly and receive updates.

Talks about technological advancements then you talk about Facetime? Google Talk/Hangouts and Skype was available for ages before Facetime...

You are taking the bait. It is just not worth it.

You probably don't use the internet the month or so after a new iPhone update comes out.

On a related note, my phone just got a cracked screen, and I would like to be able to use all the apps again, so I suppose I have to downgrade to an iPhone. That's where the best versions of all the apps apparently live.

Specifically 6s 64gb. Any suggestions on network and deal to get?

Meaningless, when Apple are not innovating, they take things and refine/perfect them. Who cares what came out first, it's all about the UX.

What's meaningless is you calling them technological advancements, which they aren't since they have all been in existence already.

Anyway I think this has gone OT for long enough, post them bargains so that I can feel crap for not having money for them! :D
