Seems too good to be be true, but worst case scenario, you spent no dollars on anything.
It actually works on anything under $19.99 :laugh:

There are going to be a lot of cancelled orders in the morning.

If they cancel my order, i will tell my grandma to drop service and switch to Sprint solely out of spite.

The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

Even though I already have 3 lightning cables I put in a $0.00 order for one, because, why not?

Probably a 99.99% chance they will cancel the order, but whatever, might as well give it a go.

Nothing to lose really. If they cancel the order maybe you get a coupon or something.

Of course. As soon as it hit Slickdeals dudes in my lab were running around trying to order as many as possible.

I've never had Touch ID before the 6. Is it supposed to feel a little laggy at times? I've somehow been conditioned to just rest my thumb on the home button for about a second and then lift my thumb back up even though the phone doesn't unlock for another second or so.

It never did with my 6 until a couple days ago and now I've noticed it does this every so often. Maybe 8.0.2 borked it a bit? Because on 8.0 it was always instantaneous.

Just remember that Verizon, according to their Terms of Service, have the right to cancel orders that were the result of mispricing or bad coupons. Even if you were charged, they will just refund it and they owe you nothing.

Will the Apple store sell me a Verizon phone for full price off contract? I am not currently a Verizon customer. I just want to walk into Apple and buy a Verizon 6+ for the full price. Possible?

I asked this on their chat support. They say you can do it in the retail stores but not online. Guess you just have to ask for it.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

There's still basically zero 6 Plus phones in Australia :waycool:

Coming from a 4s this 6 is comically oversized. I wish there was one around 0.25 inches smaller.

Otherwise it's nice, the 4s had lots of stuttering issues when I switched to ios8.

Since I can't find a dedicated iOS8 thread I'll ask here.
I'm trying to save a few pages to the reading list so I can view them offline while on a plane. It works but the articles always disappear from the list right after I first view them offline. Is there a way to keep the articles in the reading list until I manually delete them?

It's fine for me. I won't say it's better than my 5s, but it's definitely no worse. Have you tried putting in your most-used finger twice? That supposedly helps.

What is the normal size for "Other" data in iPhone 6? I had around 2GB which I couldn't find a way to get rid of, so I completely restored my phone as a new device which helped a bit but it's still showing as 1GB. Is this just a normal thing or can I free up the space somehow?

Do you need that 1-3gb right now?

I don't think so. I think you can set up Pocket to automatically download the web view, though if you're fine with an "optimized" version of the website it does that right out of the box. I appreciate that Safari has optimized view and reading list, but for anything more advanced than "I want to read this thing offline once at some later point" you're best off installing a third party app.

No. I'm just wondering what is taking up 1GB of space even after a full restore. I have a 16gb model so every little bit helps.

Other is app cache as well. I've noticed when I used Phonecleaner, I'd get back about 700MB-1GB, but as soon as I start opening apps it goes away.

Also Album art, I think? I'd regained about 1 GB following my iOS8 update, but I also notice anywhere where I'd downloaded album art from iTunes (as opposed to embedding) the art was missing from my phone. A resync later and my other is back up to 2.5GB.
