Look at this dumbass, forgot to press 1 for English and now the government is gonna give his phone to some illegal immigrant. Who will probably send the monstrosity back to Mexico so the other 35 people in his family can use it as a raft to cross the Rio into the U.S. THANKS OBAMA.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I tried syncing like 110GB of music on my 6 all at once, which took a few hours and then would never seem to finish syncing after all the files said they had been added. Eventually I cancelled it and started manually adding music one row of my iTunes library at a time. That took a lot less time and everything completed successfully.

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).

This issue has been blown pretty far out of proportion in the echo chamber. Apple has only received 9 actual complaints (out of millions of phones shipped) and has been replacing them under warranty. Most of the pictures circulating around are the original ones posted on MacRumors days ago, or are pictures from people running their own "tests".

Even the original "bend test" video has been put under scrutiny, so I would say just take a step back from it all. Receive your device, and use it as normal. You have 14 days to return it and Apple has some of the best customer service in the business.

Got it.

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).

cheers man. I remember having similar problems with my iPhone 4. I blame iTunes. I'll restore it and see if that helps then hit up the motherfucking geniuses.

Right now the thing that is bothering me the most on the 6+ is the tiny folder size versus the gigantic screen. It seems Apple forgot to make use of the enormous screen when opening folders and you can still only see nine applications per folder screen.

This means that 75% of the screen is useless when a folder is open.

Yeah same here. This was a huge problem for me on my 4S and it continues to be a problem on my 6. I guess it's just the OS running out of memory and closing the app (an Apple app that's currently playing media... what the gently caress why does this still happen?) Fixing this would make iOS way less frustrating for me.

Like its been on the iPad since iOS 7. It's dumb as hell but there is no "forgot," they clearly give no fucks.

Figure it's either a fixed 8.01 or an unfuck-things patch so that the 8.01 features can come in 8.03. But the patch notes seem rather generic compared to yesterday's notes for 8.01...

So I just switched on LTE for Voice and Data. Does that mean every call I make uses my data now? Or just that I use double-data if I try to use the internet while on a call?
