Kobayashi posted:I kind of agree. Coming out of WWDC, after seeing iOS 8 and Yosemite, I was thoroughly impressed by how Apple seemed to be executing on a unified vision. These past few weeks have been a real bummer. In addition to the points you listed, I'd add the iCloud hack, the fact that enabling iCloud drive basically breaks iOS-to-Mac synchronization until some undetermined time when Yosemite is released, the naked money grab that is a 16 Gb base model iPhone, whitewashing the camera bulge on the iPhone website, and the 8.0.1 debacle. I'll add Yosemite handoff not working on non bt4.0 machines.

tuyop posted:I don't know why people have a hard time conceiving of the force exerted on a phone in a pocket. The 6+ has the disadvantage of being big enough that the pant folding at the hip acts as a pressure on the middle of the phone because the top of the phone is above that fold and the bottom is below. To the untrained eye that seems like that person is begging for trouble and should reconsider pocketing his Phablet.

Does anyone else have issues with streaming music or podcasts where the playback will just stop and you have to turn on your phone and press play again? This happens all the time with Spotify and Iheartradio.

As much as I hate to continue the bend talk, wouldn't any type of hard case help with this? If you are doing something to bend both a case and your phone I don't think you can consider that normal use.

http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/25/apple-responds-to-bending-issues/ Apple has 9 complaints, 9. If we're extremely generous and say that 25% of the 10 million sold are Plus models, that's 9 out of 2,500,000 or .0000036%. Can we all shut up about it now?

Well everyone knows people who have broken phone screens but everyone keeps buying phones with screens that can break, so I'm assuming that most people really don't care that much.

GSMArena article comment section regarding the iOS 8.0.1 issues:quote:I can even give you bend break issue more s3 has it too so stop trying to defending a serious case like this cannot be joke around. quote:Ebola attach Apple OS so they don't have solution yet to it until they get another version. Fake company bad pricing and stigmatic customers and bugs software. quote:All 4,5"+ will bend and break, just the userbase is not mature enough to even try to realize it. quote:people that thinks things like: iPhones has a premium quality so we can ride over ir, set in it, let the dogs have fun with it, wear thight legs and put your expensive device in your front pucket, wear this device as a cap, and others stupid things like this makes me think, why would you pay all that money in a device and wouldn't get a protection for it?

Shut it down, pedos http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...3527_story.html quote:“Apple will become the phone of choice for the pedophile,” said John J. Escalante, chief of detectives for Chicago’s police department. “The average pedophile at this point is probably thinking, I’ve got to get an Apple phone.” I think he meant to say "discerning" instead of "average" Edit:

So as an owner of iPhone 6+ and playing this new Asphalt driving /runner, knowing about the 3d Benchmark framerate performance, I find myself wondering if this is a badly performing Gameloft game or if this runs much better on the 6 instead of the 6+...

So not even a week into the life of my 6+, and the phone is stuck in headphone mode - despite never being used with headphones/dock or anything of the sort. I've tried inserting and removing a pair of headphones several times, blowing dust out of the headphone jack, restarting, resetting settings etc. and nothing seems to work.

Take it into the store (make an appointment), they'll have stock of 6+'s and swap you out with a new one.

Whirlwind Jones posted:I love all the stories coming out now about how law enforcement is all butthurt that they can't bully companies into giving up your personal data anymore. It's even better considering how much pressure those same law enforcement organizations have been applying to cell phone makers to implement improved security features in an attempt to limit theft. So they want just a little more security, but not too much!

The guy who did the iPhone 6 Plus review for wired.com has a slightly bent phone after 4 days. Don't know his inseam, unfortunately. But he seems like the kind of guy that would use a million phones as part of his job and probably not do much intentionally destructive/dumb with them, ya know? (Except have his life "hacked" by people getting his password reset through Apple  ) E: "But the biggest downside to me is that iOS 8 just isn’t as productive or customizable an operating system as Android is. You may be able to bend this phone, but you can’t bend it to your will."  8/10 still, haha

Ok here's a question for you all. It's to do with loving iTunes. Been adding music to my new 64GB device and I've got it almost full of music. I go to delete some stuff and move some new stuff on *(through iTunes). It takes forever to sync, then finally, when done, shows up as my phone having 0 gb of music, 50+ gig of Other. Now, what the gently caress?! I hard re-set my phone and replugged it into iTunes, synced it, and now it's half restored to how it was, 25gb of music, 25gb of loving other. What in the name of gently caress?!

I got a text from a coworker to gossip about the fact my CEO is getting a plus and it was going to bend and I'd be annoyed with her, except, I had overslept and the text woke me up, when I was on the way to sleeping until like 3:00 PM otherwise.

I gotta say this whole bending phone thing makes me a little apprehensive about my 6+ order; I guess that's one advantage of getting my phone several weeks post-release, it just seems that there is a lot of conflicting information out there right now. The whole reason I stopped getting Androids was to avoid having to worry about this kind of manufacturer fuckups (and carriers messing around with software updates-the Verizon Galaxy Nexus was not a fun situation).

It's not a manufacturing fuckup at all. It's the reality of owning an extremely thin device made of light material. It's so thin, and so light that you can put it in an ultrathin clear case and it is still thinner and lighter than it's competitors. Overall, it is an expensive device meant to be treated kindly, not thrown around like some cheap droid.

I had it happen to me back with the 4S and I was told at the time I didn't let it "sit" long enough (I moved about 50GB at once) so that it could index all the music. I let mine sit overnight and then it was fine. I couldn't even access the music to play it. Can you? It might just be iTunes being idiotic (which it very well could be that piece of poo poo software). If it's just a couple albums and it fucks your entire music collection, then I'd say take it in to Apple (or call, I suppose that might use slightly less gas and time).
