Strange how the Kindle app still isn't found in the App store, but I suspect, as I said earlier, it's absence is likely connected with the release of the iOS 10 and new devices.
As far the new iPhone, I'm good to go with what I have. I have the 6 Plus and a 5 for backup. I see no reason to upgrade when either does what I need and want. As long as one or both keep working, I see no reason to upgrade for at least 2 or 3 more years. If I want to take serious photos I will use my actual cameras and equipment, not a crappy smartphone camera. I'm 58 years old and I have never destroyed any electronics by getting it wet. And my phones are always locked up inside an Otterbox Defender case, so I couldn't care less what color it is.  I always get a kick out of Apple and Samsucks and their ads for the latest greatest device. Most device upgrades are small, incremental, unimaginative ones. If the next one will do my dishes, then I might consider it.  |
These days most improvements are incremental rather than revolutionary. I keep my iPhone 6 plus in a mophie case, so I don't really care about the color either, but a lot of people do care about color and being as light as possible. It actually looks like a pretty good incremental upgrade. Twice as much memory and quite a bit faster.
Part of what they are appealing to is the younger crowd who use their phones to play games and take selfies, not to us older types. I generally get upgrades every couple of years, so unless something changes, I'll probably get next year's model. I jumped all over last year's model because I found 64G a bit cramped, but so far, I'm not close to bumping into the limits of 128G.
