iPhone 6 Plus isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.

great upgrade

I have owned an Iphone 3, iphone 4, and Iphone 5. The Iphone 6plus might be bigger in size, but it is still small enough to fit in my 24 yr old son's pants pocket. It fits his needs so perfectly, that he no longer needs a laptop or a computer. This phone does it all for him. He browses the web, views videos, does online banking and bill paying. The screen is large enough for him not to need anything bigger. The battery life far out weighs the Iphone 5 battery.

No instructions or PDF manual, hard to figure out

Verified Purchase:Yes
Customer help is great, they email back within a day. I wanted a PDF manual and this program doesn't have one! For each part of the program I wanted help, I would get an email for just that one item. Even though I wanted a multi question help. This program is for an expert user, not even an intermediate user like myself. It would be a great program if I could get it to work. At $80, I should have gotten something else, or several somethings to accomplish what this says it can do.

good router for multi device use

I use it in...:Large home
Verified Purchase:Yes
Paid $200 for this router. Could have gone bought the similar router by Apple, but the ability to have up to 6 devices be designated for internet use was the one thing that sold me. In our heavy electronic household, where everyone has more than one way to connect to the internet, ie: desktops, laptops, phones, ipads....ect, we needed something to satisfy everyone. Our old router was sluggish and the range wouldn't access some parts of my house. This router is faster, and internet use doesn't have that drag to it. Plus, there is so much less of internet loss than before. Our old router was a D link. I am very happy with the way the TV stays more connected, and the blue ray player isn't finicky anymore. It did take some time to figure out installation, but after remembering we needed to update the software, it was smooth sailing.

As easy as using my Iphone!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Thanks goodness I already had an Iphone, That made it so much easier to use this Ipad. I did have to ask the people at Apple why my laptop wouldn't charge the Ipad. A knowledgeable worker said laptops and most computers don't have the necessary power to charge via USB, so charging by the wall outlet is the way to go. That's a little inconvenient, but doable. Everyone has already heard all the good things about the Ipad, so I won't go into them, just know I agree with them. One of the more troublesome things I had to learn was how to put my ebooks on it. I have a large library of mobi <kindle> and epub <barnes and noble> books. Well over 2000 total. Being an Apple product, you have to use Itunes to load onto your Ipad for both types. Once I got the books onto the ipad, the reading of them was fantastic. I did download a couple of free fun apps, and that was so easy too. Originally I got this just to read my books on, but as time goes by, there are so many other uses I will become addicted to as well. SO happy with purchase. It took me a long time to make the jump, considering the cost, but I am very glad I did.

everything in an ereader, plus more!

I bought this device as a replacement for my Nook simple touch. I almost got the Ipad mini, but this device did everything I wanted at a better price. It can read mobi, epub, and pdf files. I just had to gt the app for each one, But with the built in wifi, that was easy enough. With 8gb of storage I can keep all my ebooks on this, and not run out of room. Of course, it can also take a micro SD card up to 32gb for added storage, which I did get for under $20. I have my music, my books, even movies in such a small device. The camera is easy to use. It fits perfect into a normal sized purse, just like the nook did. I can connect to any available wifi to check email or browse the web. I am not a guru of all these devices, but this is doing everything I was, and then some. The price was better than the ipad mini. As I listed in the not so great things about this, it doesn't have an external light to say the thing is being charged. I am getting used to that, and all I have to do is turn it on, and the battery icon is displayed.

good quality ink

I bought this replacement ink for my epson printer. I was so easy to install, and the cartridge was sturdy to handle. I didn't feel like it would fall apart on me. After going through the process of head cleanings and ink set up for my printer, I figured there would be a few uneven printings, but that didn't happen. The quality of the black was even with no streaking. I did not get it on sale, but the price was comparable to the other online stores when I was shopping around. I usually get replacement ink online and get generic or off brand. They are never as good as what comes with the printer. I am glad I kept to the Epson brand. It was well worth it.

I bought this replacement ink for my epson printer. The price was average for all the major online stores. It was not on sale. The ease of installation has more to do with your particular printer, but the ink cartridge is sturdily built. I like that it is an all in one cartridge, instead of having to install each separate color. Once I finished going through my printer's head cleaning set up, this ink has been great. No streaking. I mistakenly printed out a 8x10 picture of a project I was working on, and the quality was perfect. No lines or unevenness. I usually search the web and end up getting off brand, generic ink, but I am glad I kept to Epson.

As easy to set up and use as my Iphone, this Ipad is the best invention since the laptop. It does it all. I am a beginner, and the ease of use was amazing. I can use the ereader to read in any format, mobi, epub, pdf...ect. 1000's of apps available to make life better, with so many of them being free, or just a small fee. It truly is the best of all worlds. A clear picture taking camera, a device to check email or browse the internet. It automatically locates my home wifi through my router. I have tons of music on it with all the storage available. Battery life has been great. I leave it uncharged for days. I just got a cover for it, and now the slipperiness of the back of it is gone. I have zero issues with this. With everything this ipad can do, the price is well worth it.

What's great about it: This is a laptop, ereader and camera all combined!
What's not so great: The slick surface of the back of the unit.

Good for University?
I'm thinking of buying one of these tablets for university so I can travel across campus easier (i.e without lugging my heavy HP laptop with me.) It won't be a replacement, just a more portable device, but I need to know if the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will:
1. Allow me to follow along with Power Points (which ALL of my classes utilize) and make little changes + side notes as I go
2. Allow me to create Word documents (and any other feature in Microsoft Office like Power Points, Excel, etc.)
3. Be compatible with pdf and compiled html files (this is the format of some texts I use often)
4. Sync with Dropbox
6. Keep all of my work organized/easy to find
7. Have an expandable memory
Also, what are some good apps that I can download on this tablet for anything like anatomy, physiology, commonly used drugs, pathology.......yeah, basically anything in the medical field that will make life a little easier.
Thanks

We bought a keyboard for our Samsung Galaxy for all the reports my son will have to do in his last semester of college. He wanted all the word document programs you mentions, so we bought microsoft office. That did the trick for him. It is the prefect little portable mini computer. Not bulky like a laptop, has enough storage, connects to the internet so he can email his reports to his professor, or he can put the reports on an SD card, then put on a computer to print out. He is so happy with this.
