iPhone 6+ Straight Out of Camera
Testing the exposure, low light and image stabilization capabilities of an iPhone 6+. For a mobile phone in challenging lighting and with low light shadows, it turned out really well!
Verizon says that I have to wiat for my iPhone 5S contract to run its course through next November to upgrade. I can't even buy the contract out. Technically I could probably go to another carrier and pay some early termination penalties to Verizon and transfer my phone number, but if I do the same thing and buy a phone at Verizon then end my contract on my iPhone 5S, they say in the Verizon store that I would lose my existing phone number.
It's like Verizon would rather see me go to another carrier for a while than sell me a new phone (and make a little extra revenue off of me in the process.
I've been in 2 Verizon stores and a Verizon reseller, plus online chatting with Customer Service at VerizonWireless.com trying to determine the options for the 4 lines we have. It's extremely confusing. I've already bought and cancelled an iPhone 6+ order as details of what we'd get and for how much seem to change.
I'd love to switch to Sprint, but we tried that a couple of years ago and they cancelled our "unlimited data" plan halfway into a 2 year contract and refused to finish out the contract. Now they ofer something similar, but if you read the small print, they give you a lower quality of service, so it's unlimited in volume at a snail's pace, so it's actually limited. Reduced bandwidth is also what you'll get if you look at the small print on their "50% of your current data plan charges" they're currently advertising.
I'd consider AT&T, but they don't have good coverage here in the Eastern Sierra, and rural coverage in general doesn't seem to be a high priority for them... not so great for landscape photography.
