I hope the next iphone scandal is that they are filled with the ebola virus, so I can combine this thread with one of my favorite GBS threads.MrNonacho posted:Happening to me too. I've asked my coworkers and no one else seems to have the half-loading picture issue. I notice it happens on the same pictures every time though. Maybe I'll just take it to the apple store during lunch.

nate fisher posted:Jesus Christ I just visited the denim thread. The first few pages seemed fine (I could care less about selvedge jeans) so I skipped to the end, and I swear to God some Goon is wearing his jeans in the bathtub to get them to fit. You got me on that one. This is actually a really cool and fun part of denim ownership, though you can accomplish the same result by wearing them in the ocean for a bit.

Bottom Liner posted:You guys are trying real hard to make it sound like only hipsters with skinny jeans and back pocket phone carriers are capable of bending the phones, yet someone in this very thread with "normal" pants claims he has a slight bend already. No iPhone before this had this issue, so you can't tell everyone to just be extra careful all of a sudden. The video makes it clear that it doesn't take a ridiculous amount of force to cause it, so I think this might be a serious design flaw. When enough users have a problem that kinda ruins a device, it stops being their fault and becomes an issue with the device. And mark my words, this issue will get much bigger very quickly as the next shipments of 6+s get out in the world, as they were pretty limited at release and this is already a huge PR disaster. I'm curious what Apple will say/do, once the mainstream media makes a fuss about it they will have to do some damage control. No phone before this you say? http://www.cultofmac.com/297404/get-bent-shocking-history-bent-smartphones/?utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter Iphone 4s Iphobe 5, 5s Galaxy s4 Xperia z1 Evo Bb Q10 Oppo Ipod touch http://youtu.be/VDOfsVdB2Tk gohmak fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Sep 24, 2014 |

I think part of the problem is that once an image fails to load completely, it still gets cached as if it was, so even refreshing won't load the whole thing.

I will not discount the bending thing but folks pointing to the bending video on YouTube need to stop referring to it as "easily bent". The dude is white knuckling it. I'm pretty sure I can white knuckle bend my iPhone 5.

As someone who finds the regular iPhone6 too big (though I'll probably get one) , I'm amazed that many people are putting the Plus in their pockets to begin with. Regardless of durability that sounds uncomfortable as hell unless you always wear cargo pants or something. I assumed most people who were buying the plus carry a bag with them or put it on a belt clip.

In response to Bend-ghazi, Apple should release something like a shoulder holster for the 6/6+.

You're not serious, right? You see the folds in the material as the pants curve around the hamstring? That's cause by the curvature of the leg. Same thing happens on the top of the thigh. Your phone is flat, your legs aren't...

The phone bending is an intended feature to accompany HealthKit meant to get fat people to thin down their thunder thighs. Seriously though, that video of the guy bending it is ridiculous. I can snap my MacBook by breaking it over my desk but I'm not making a YouTube video of it and getting linked by the Wall Street Journal.

I'm inventing a case that is basically a splint holding the phone straight. Please invest in my Kickstarter. If you pay for the premium tier I'll tape a wallet to your case before shipping it.

I seem to recall someone here mentioning that Apple stores keep a supply on hand for this type of swap out though. They confirmed that it's a hardware issue and they're bringing me a new phone right now.

smackfu posted:For non techies who have upgraded to iOS 8, what are the complaints? I can definitely see the camera roll changes... anything else? iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad mini (all A5 devices with 512MB RAM) may have noticeable performance issues. Maybe iPad 3, as well (it has 1GB RAM, but is still rocking an A5-level CPU).

Just an FYI for people who potentially have hardware problems, iPhone release time is the best time to bring in your phone for any issue you're having. They keep stock of replacements handy for customers having issues, and are more likely to immediately replace it on the spot and send it back to Apple so they can analyze potential problems.

So Siri lets you easily bypass the lock code/thumbprint deal. From the lock screen tell Siri to "open safari" or whatever, when the app opens you can simply hit the home button to get access to the entire phone. I've been trying it with different apps & only once did it not work (with Amazon), but I tried it again with that app and was able to bypass the lock code numerous times. Has it always been this way? Id never used the lock code before having the iPhone 6.

beanieson posted:So Siri lets you easily bypass the lock code/thumbprint deal. What's actually happening here is when you're activating Siri from the home screen, Touch ID has already read your print (since you're holding the home button for Siri). Open Safari just seamlessly works because your phone is unlocked. If you want to verify this, go to Settings > Touch ID and turn off the switch that lets you use it to unlock the phone. She will now ask you to unlock your phone first before going to the Safari app. Pretty cool that it works so seamlessly like this.

Yeah, I tried it using my left thumb, which isn't in Touch ID yet, and it says "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first."
