I didn't hear no bell
Anyone else on AT&T having a super long time to activate? I submitted via the web site this morning around 10 am EST and I'm still not active on the new SIM

Edit: called support and entered my phone. Power cycle and my phone is now activated. What the heck

VoLTE is definitely working for me on Verizon. Post post posting while on the phone with only LTE, no Wi-Fi.

Forgot how nice having data while on a phone call was.

I'd still be on AT&T but Verizon was the only carrier to spring for repeaters through our building so I had to switch 2 years ago. :)

Weird question, but does the OG iPhone 5 support wifi calling? I'm switching from Verizon to T-Mobile soon because the voice service is poo poo.

Yeah same. I was using my 5S for Twitter a little bit after I got my 6, just to get up to date with it, and my 5S' screen seemed obnoxiously small in comparison to this one. I don't know how because this one's only .7" bigger, but man, they really knocked it out of the park with this display.

I was wondering this as well. Also if the 5S supports it.

Looks like it does not!

Yeah it uses data, no VoLTE will not work on anything older than the 6. It requires a new radio AFAIK.

The banks have to turn on their support first. So far, I got confirmations that Bank of American and Chase are both working to get it going but no dates yet.

I opened up passbook to see if I could set up the cards and doesn't look like it. Guess it will be rolled out in an update next month.

Came to post the exact same thing. The 5 also feels fat and gross compared to the 6 in almost every way. I remember the same exact feeling when I got my 5 to replace my 4.

Apple Pay was stated to be coming in an update in October.

Actually, with Apple Pay, iCloud Photos, now possibly HealthKit apps, and anything they might add to new iPads, it's looking to be a massive update. Maybe it'll be iOS 8.1.

Next month's update will be pretty big. iCloud photos is next year I believe though which will probably be in 8.1. There were rumors a while ago that some stuff apple wanted to include in 8 would be pushed to 8.1 due to focusing on Yosemite. Guess we will find out.

Being a big feature adding update, it will almost certainly be 8.1 unless there's an 8.1 before that. I imagine there will be an 8.0.1 before then, though, to fix some bugs.

Star War Sex Parrot

8.0.1 is already in carrier testing, I believe.

I hope when passbook is updated, there's an option to add cards that are not payment cards, or even swipeable cards, but just "information" cards. I'd like to add my two health insurance cards and my AAA card to passbook.

Granted, I could just take pictures of the cards and keep them in the photo library on my phone now, but where's the fun in that?

iCloud photos for iOS was supposed to be iOS 8, with OS X support delayed until the desktop Photos app comes out.

The entire feature has been scrubbed from apple.com though.

It worked fine for me at 2:30 EST. I was ready for it to be crazy slow but it wasn't even bad. Maybe people are starting to get out of work and pick up their phones so it's taking a hit now.

I started and got the restore incomplete message. I'll wait until I get home and can do it via the iTunes back up.

It just works for me, I didn't have to do anything special. Make sure they're both signed into iMessage and FaceTime on the same account/contact numbers. Also check that "iPhone Cellular Calls" is enabled under FaceTime.

My wife just got a 6 and talking to her in my 5s is crap. If she has me on speaker, she can't hear me but I can hear her. If not on speaker, she can hear me and I can't hear her...

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
There doesn't seem to be any way to have handoff on and not do phone continuity either. But it's fine I don't really shuffle a lot of stuff on to my work phone anyway.

I suppose the test for VoLTE would be just to make a call and see if it drops to 3G, and then maybe for kicks try to use data while on the call.

Cool. Seems like data works just fine when you make a VoLTE call :woop:

edit: as long as when you make the call you are on LTE, the other side can be on landline or whatever and it would still do VoLTE

The curved glass in my 6 almost makes text look fake like one a dummy display phone, at least with the Awful app. It's crazy.

I remember getting the 5 demo unit before it came out and thought the same thing about that, excited to see how the 6 looks. Did they improve the brightness or color reproduction or anything on it this time around?

Doesn't help that Awful is using blow up text.

What am I missing. I just got my 6. Turned it on and went through the whole setup and it's currently restoring from iCloud. However it's not picking up my at&t service. My 5 is still working, do I need to turn the 5 off or something?
