Even the OG iPad came with a 2.1 amp charger, phones come with a 1.0 amp one (I think, I haven't personally inspected the iPhone 6 charger yet). So yeah the phones will charge faster with more juice available.

So I've got 7 hours of usage and 28% battery left on my 6 Plus (I use my phones as my main internet consumption devices, and I spend far too much time on the Internet). This is the first time a phone has actually matched the battery life times reviewers quoted.

When I a, in the car and use my Bluetooth to call someone, I never hear the phone ringing before they answer. I just hear them pick up. Started happening on my 5 when I updated to iOS 8 and my 6 does it too. Not a big deal just an odd thing.

The bluetooth in my Rav4 doesn't actually engage until the call circuit is actually completed, so usually I miss the first ring. I'll have to test it, but I'm pretty sure I get the same behavior with my headset.k I think it might be how it works with Apple's BT implementation.

Alright, I'm curious, anyone loaded up any apps that haven't been updated since iOS 2 or 3 on their iPhone 6? I want to see how comically bad they look (if they'll even launch.)

The app "Ausgamers" (a news page app, basically) never got retina updates, so that would be a free one you could try.

Is anyone else getting brutal wi-fi slowness on their iPhone 6? I noticed it was slow last night and again tonight. Speed test on my MacBook showed about 40mbps, but my phone came up with 0.11mbps. When I switched off Wi-Fi and tested LTE with my phone it was also around 35-40mbps. Edit: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings seems to have fixed it for now, although people are saying that's a temporary fix and the slowness comes back. prom candy fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Sep 23, 2014 |

It's amazing to use when driving especially if you use your phone for GPS like I do. I just wish you could make it so the Siri screen dismisses on its own.

Is there a reliable way to deal with hosed-up-ness between iTunes and iOS with regards to Music storage? At first I transferred my entire music library onto my 6, but as I played songs through the day iOS 8 would continually delete them. Then I un-synced music and re-synced, and now I have 50 gigs of music and 50 gigs of 'other'.

My iphone 6 doesn't do inertia/momentum scrolling. I was having a miserable time using safari/chrome and didn't know why until I realized I was having to constantly scroll with my thumb. Did they disable this in ios 8 or something? This is my first iPhone so there's a good chance I'm just an idiot.

Inertial scrolling means swipe with a flick and it will continue to scroll, right? There's no difference in Safari or Chrome on my 6 than on my 5. E: the scrolling isn't as fluid as the Awful app or like Instagram but it's still "bouncy" ShoogaSlim fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Sep 23, 2014 |

I double checked and you're right, inertia scrolling is working, but it's not nearly as fast as I remember it being on my iPhone 4. I'm pretty sure I was able to do a quick fling and get thrown halfway down a page. It's not scrolling very far at all now, and it's worse in the upsampled apps.

Inertia works great in Facebook Messenger but Chrome and Safari barely move at all past the that inertia point.

I rather like not having such fast scrolling on web pages. If I give the screen a flick I can get just far enough to read the next part of the screen instead of flying down to the bottom. I am experiencing some audio hiccups, though. Got sent a link to a YouTube video in Facebook messenger and while watching the video the audio was cutting out while I continued to get messages.

Hopefully this is just another iOS 8 bug and not something wrong with my new 6: Sometimes when typing in landscape, if anything covers the proximity sensor, the screen stops taking inputs. It only happens in certain apps--so far, only zoomed apps not optimized for iPhone 6. Is this a known thing?

I just realized that carrying a 6+ while working out at the gym gives off the weirdest looks. Should I look into getting an armband (which looks pretty dumb), continue to hide the 6+ in my pocket, or is there any other advice you guys can offer?

Feenix posted:iPhone 6 is selling more on the grounds that there are less Pluses in existence to be sold. I purchased the 6 plus because I wasn't pleased that the 6 grew in size so if I'm forced to go bigger I may as well look like a drat droid. After a weekend with the plus I will never go back to a puny phone. My 5s seems ridiculously small now. Reachability owns and anyone that says otherwise hasn't used it.

Not that I play games (especially games that push the GPU hard) on my iPhone that much, so I don't much care, but I was really surprised at the FPS differences between the 6 and 6+ in the 3DMark tests over at Anandtech. I'm also surprised no one is discussing it. You can see the exact numbers, but basically when in came to actual FPS in the tests, the 6+ had put out only around half the FPS that of the regular 6. However the other benchmarks that gave number ratings were mostly about the same. They surmised the lovely FPS has to do with the down scaling the 6+ has to deal with constantly. I figured the 6+ would take a hit in GPU performance due to the scaling, but yeah, pretty surprised how big the hit actually is. I'm sure it only noticeably impacts the performances of the phone in games with complex graphics, so you likely won't see it in normal day-to-day usage. Hopefully.
