I've been using the god drat Gmail app ever since it's been available and I haven't gone back since what the gently caress is so confusing about it why are there 500 "where's my push email" comments in this thread holy gently caress. Sometimes I get email on my phone faster than when I'm sitting on my laptop with the Gmail site open.

I'll have to add a line to my evening prayers where I say thanks for my normal sized hands that can hold something the size of a 6+ without bringing tears of frustration to my eyes and giving a quivery lip

You know... I was about to point out my most disliked flaw of the Mail app being that you couldn't add an attachment from the compose message screen. But I wanted to test the theory before I posted and I realize you can if you tap, hold, then hit the right arrow and select "insert photo or video." For something so simple I feel like that's a sloppy implementation however it actually allows you to add attachments to the body of the message without it just being added as an attachment, which I rather like. My whole world is upside down now, you guys. e: though Gmail auto filtering Social and Promotions has really saved my sanity since I don't get notifications from those emails at all. If I could find a way to add that functionality to the mail app I would switch back to it. All in all it doesn't really loving matter whatever

So I have an appointment at an Applestore to (hopefully) get my iPhone 5 replaced under AppleCare+ due to the sleep/power button issue and what I think are reception issues due to a couple of drops it took. I bought a 6+ and already upgraded to it - my hope was to replace the 5 and then sell it. Is the fact I already upgraded going to have any impact on being able to replace the 5?

Your warranty with Apple is separate from your cell carrier. The only caveat: if you intend to apply for a carrier unlock on your old phone, do it before you get a warranty swap to avoid extra hassle with the device ID not matching.

Because you have AppleCare you may have a better experience than I did but Apple basically told me to go gently caress myself when I brought my iPhone 5 in to be repaired for sleep/wake button issues. My phone's serial number showed up as eligible for replacement on the Apple site but because I had a minor MINOR dent on the bottom end of my phone they said they wouldn't be able to replace the screen and that there was literally nothing they could do for me. YMMV though but just a head's up since you said you've dropped your phone.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:So the whole thing was blown out of proportion?! Nah, consumer reports uses a 3 point bend test. Apparently, a 4 point bend test (which is basically what you do when you try to bend the phone with your hands) does a better job revealing weak points on the phone. Another bending vid show the 4 point load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-58g-sMrkys Explained more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8375841 quote:This test shows a severe lack of understanding of flexural strength testing. This test is a bastardization of the three point bending test that is commonly performed for peak bending strength analysis of materials. quote:Civil Engineering Grad student here. Agreed, four point load test allows for uniform bending moment distribution between the two loading point. Which can expose the weakest point in the phone (in iPhone6+ near the volume buttons). The link below is the moment diagram for both load test. http://images.slideplayer.us/5/1566057/slides/slide_20.jpg

A tomato posted:The antenna lines are exactly as bad as you thought they were when you saw the first leaks; before you convinced yourself they didn't matter. The non-flush camera is bad. My emails don't get pushed to my phone anymore and no, that isn't old news, I really was getting push emails two days ago on my 5S. Non-updated apps look like garbage and make me angry. I've hit a couple of weird bugs that disappear with restart, but maybe those would have presented on my old phone too. 128GB of storage is probably overkill but totally rad. The curved edges feel really nice when swiping left and right; I like that a lot. The camera takes great pictures and I love the new slo-mo video. The 6 is probably 2/10 of an inch too big and the 6+ made me actually angry when I held/tried to hold it in the store. I like the big display for pictures and a handful of websites, but it doesn't change my Twitter game and I'm using the reachability shortcut a lot. The iPhone 4 was a museum-quality piece of art and these phones are nowhere near the same caliber of design. Are you really still reading this? Sorry. I'm giving the thing another week before selling it for a new 5S. I'm actually interested in your weekly report, seeing as I'm about the same level of aspergian insufferability. Your concerns seem to be exactly like mine, and I'm in loving love with my current 5S (which I liked from the moment I saw it and held it). Interested to know if you'll still sell it in a week. I always thought the sweet spot was going to be 4.5 and killing the bezels on top or something, but Apple probably would never allow the phone front face to be asymmetrical

When you put your 6+ in tight jeans and it bends in your pocket, it's not a 3 point bend, the stress is applied across a larger section of the phone. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Does iCloud sync video between devices? I have photostream and the Photo Library beta turned on. I'm on a PC with the latest iCloud software (so I have iCloud drive). It doesn't look like videos are automatically synced anywhere that I can see.

Trip report: They didn't care about the dings/dents/removed material along the material band and said that wouldn't have caused the signal issues I was seeing (?), but they did confirm that the power/sleep/lock button was suffering the recent issue, and gave me a replacement. I was expecting to have to pay $49 but they didn't charge me anything (guessing because of the button issue?), so hey, a new/refurb phone at $0 cost that I can potentially sell for $250-300 sounds good to me.

It basically only tests the point beneath the center point. A four-point bending test tests every point between the two center points, in case the weak spot isn't exactly at the center of the thing.
