Looks like I'll be keeping my 6 for another year 
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Chris, you are still an iPhoner? Granted, the Windows Phones have been a bit disappointing, but I assumed you'd be on Android by now 
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I have this weird preference to not run an OS that continues to have serious security issues and shows an inability and lack of desire to address these issues in a timely and unified manner.

Android is less secure than an iPhone? I wouldn't think so.
|
|
|
|

I would.
And I mean that in an overarching way. Android is fractured, badly. Updates are dependant on the manufacturer and are not timely. Apps are not vetted, so you're managing your own risk when you download apps.
Apple has a vested interest in stopping people from jail-breaking their phones. Did you see how quickly they came out with the 9.3.5 patch that was allowing malware to be installed on iPhones? I was pretty impressed. Whether you believe it's to protect human rights, or whether it's to protect Apple's control of the ecosystem doesn't matter to me: it was fixed quickly and every single phone from the 4S onward could get that patch.
cheers

Interesting. I have had an iPhone before, and since then been on multiple WPs. Was considering a switch to Android for my next phone. Thanks for the different perspective.

The thing that depresses me the most is the death of Windows Mobile.
My dream is to have my PC in my phone. ie. Continuum. I pick up my phone off it's inductive charging pad, head home, sit at my home office desk and the phone connects back to my wireless mouse, keyboard, WiFi and display. I continue working on my 27" monitor using a quad-core processor with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage and it's as fast as a laptop.
Except I don't think it's ever going to really happen.
Apple made a statement yesterday about ditching the headphone jack. They said their design team had courage. I totally agree.
Microsoft has no courage. They are so beholden to legacy that everything is the same as it was. They tweak, they refine, they rework core frameworks. But it's all the same.
In 2007 Apple didn't have a single mobile app or a single iPhone. Now they've sold 1 billion phones and have had 140 billion[^] app downloads.
Microsoft needs to stop worrying about what it used to do and do what it needs to do.
cheers

Good points there. And yeah, the demise of the WP has been the most disappointing thing from Microsoft in recent years. After all that early enthusiasm and promise, the money thrown into Nokia, and then nothing - that is sad.

The courage to do something that Motorola and a handful of Chinese manufacturers have already done? 
I realize that the iPhone is on a bigger stage than the other jack-less devices that have been released and thus receives much more scrutiny, but courage (in design) is a word I would use when a design team is the first to do something completely unthinkable.

So if you're not already an Apple convert, or you don't happen to have Windows 10...you're SOL? Seems to me that's the group they should be try to cater to.
Or are they taking for granted that if you're interested in any Apple product, you already have one anyway?

Great product. There's a lot of SSH terminal products for the smart phone, I happened to pick that one.
Why did I need it? I was having a problem with re-establishing a RabbitMq queue after rebooting the server, so I fired up the app through my phone, saw the error message, and fixed it.
Yes, I could have logged the error, but this is on a Beaglebone and I don't really want to log anything, particularly messages that will trigger continuously, every second.
Yes, I could have fired up another computer to SSH into the BB, but the phone was easier!

Something seems wrong here...

At this point you may need to accept that even Apple is trying to tell you something.
At least iThink so.

Why on Earth do you run Safari on your PC? Hasn't Safari for Windows been abandoned for over a year?
Or did you just want to try to be snarky?

From what little data I can find Safari for Windows looks like about 0.4% (at best) of traffic. That's slightly worse than Windows Phone OS market share - which is really saying something.
At what point do you give up support?
