Tell her to take the plastic off.

(You may think this is a joke, but that actually happened in an iPhone thread before)

Hmm, that didn't seem to do it. I've powered the 5 off, and the 6 off/on a few times, still no service. Time to hit up at&t I suppose.

edit: Had to activate it through at&t's website. Guess it doesn't do that during the Apple setup process.

This thing is gorgeous!

Remember when "better vibrate motor" was a keynote feature going from 4 to 4S?

I switched the text to 90% scaling and its a bit better. Not ideal (and the reply text is still obscenely large) but it's a decent fix for reading in the meantime at least.

Is there anyway to import all of my messages from Hangouts (on my Moto X) to Messages on the 6?

They definitely improved everything about the display. It looks really good. Not that the 5/5s display looked bad...

edit: also yeah it's pretty noticeable when an app is being scaled. I remember some reviews saying it's not as bad as the switch to retina, but I still really want all the apps to be updated for the bigger display ASAP.

Got my 6, love it. What's the best way to get rid of my Verizon 5 16gb? Gazelle seems the easiest, but 165$ doesn't seem like a lot.

Try Verizon. The money will be in a gift card but you can apply it to your account to pay your bill for a few months.

We'll probably have to wait for the Displaymate review to find out.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I posted this in the pre-order/launch day thread but it actually might be better to ask it here: I synced a bunch of music to my 6, and when it was almost done, I got stuck on Step 4 of the sync process in iTunes (Waiting for changes to be applied). I Googled the issue and tried a bunch of different things that were suggested (restarting the phone, restarting iTunes, deleting device backups in iTunes/resetting sync history, etc.), but none worked. Every time I try to sync now, it's getting stuck on that same Step 4.

Do you guys have any ideas as to how I would go about fixing this issue?

I've had one group text turn into a green bubble thread and another group thread drop replies from one of the members in messages on my Mac, so yeah, I'd say the mix of iOS8 and before is causing problems. :(

Agreed, I'd expect it to be higher.

Speaking of which, I'm having a hard time pricing my 2 week old replacement iPhone 5 16GB AT&T that's unlocked. Craigslist makes me think $300 would be fine, but $400 seems to be the going rate on Ebay. I guess when you back out 13% fees + insured shipping, it's only a $30 difference.

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.

I held my wife's six for like 30 seconds (my plus comes next week) and already hate my 5 like it crossed me.

The 6 will feel like a huge upgrade from my 4S already, but since I'm using my 3GS in the meantime it's going to feel even better. I hate this stupid fat 5 year old idiot.

I've got an iPhone 5 that is waiting to get the sleep button repaired (waiting on a loaner to come into the Apple Store). Was kind of holding off on getting the iPhone 6, but... I've just had a sudden wave of commercialism wash over me, reminding me that I have a credit card, and that I'll recoup most of the money through selling my 5.

Could I get better than $200 for a 16GB AT&T 5 on Craigslist, or should I just do a trade-in for that amount? Every two years, I sell the iPhone I've had (3G, 4, and now 5) to help get the new one. I'm wondering if I should try to get $300 on Craigslist, or if nobody would bite and I should just take the easy route through AT&T or Apple.

It's not officially out yet. It's kind of crap shoot if it works or not currently. I had it working when the iOS 8 GM came out but then it stopped. Supposed to officially go live next month in an update most likely around when Yosemite drops.
