So, how does Apple Pay work for those of us with an iPhone 5? Can we still use it to make online purchases and whatnot, and maybe even in stores if they have a starbucks-esque barcode scanner? Or is this 100% exclusive to the iPhone 6?

My US Bank card didn't work, my Chase card did.

Since US Bank was on the main list of supported banks I'm just gonna assume they haven't turned it on on their end yet.

It doesn't. The 5 has literally none of the hardware it needs.

You can solve that for brick-and-mortar sales by pairing it to a nice, attractive Apple Watch, however!

Speaking of cables, are there any good knock-off lightning adapters that are as good as Apple's "We'll charge you $35 because gently caress you" adapter? I couldn't find one on Monoprice; it's for my car, so I just need the adapter, not the cable.

I don't have that brand, but I have one of those cloth-covered cables for my old iphone and it's been excellent. Mine has this humongous base-piece, though, that surrounds the cord where it reaches the charger, which I'm guessing prevents it from getting twisted around. My OEM charging cable is a shameful piece of equipment that's just begging for an electrical fire; it's twice as bad as this one that got ridiculed earlier (but it still works).


Hey - those are my cables! Apple replaced them, too.

Jesus, I know it's no big thing... but the letter/number recognition overlay when you scan a card is freaking neat looking.


So futurey!


[edit] I have 2 Chase cards. One my own, and the other a joint account with my wife. My joint card keeps saying "Card not added, contact your issuer for more information."

Weird.

It's quick as hell too. One of my cards is old and beat up and has none of the original "paint" on the numbers and yet it still picked it up in about 2 seconds.

Does Apple Pay work at any of those PayWave NFC readers or do they require Apple-specific stuff? I've seen conflicting information around the internet.

If the business supports the NFC wave card thing then they automatically support Apple Pay. My work has the NFC terminals but I don't think we support the actual thing so I don't think it'll work. I'll have to try later.

So how's this supposed to work now? I don't want to embarrass myself at a fine dining establishment like a McDonald's drive through. I see my cards in my Passbook. I can't like, DO anything with them here/now. When I get to McDonalds and they wave a reader near me will it like, auto-prompt me to pick a card and thumb-scan? Or do I need to load something up orrrrr?

The Starbucks App is supposed to be getting the in app version of ApplePay soon, so none of the fancy phone waving tricks but one click refill payments is still nice.

Well I'm going to go see what happens at Walgreens. Wish me luck.

iCloud photos syncs all your photos between devices. I was able to enable it on my iPhone 6 on 8.0. I guess it works well. After enabling it took a day or so for my 2,500 photos to sync to my iPad.

What I really need is an easy way to go through all my photos and delete old/irrelevant ones I don't want anymore.

If I delete them in the browser will it kill the original on my phone?

It's under the iCloud menu. It'll just eat up all your iCloud storage unless you actually have an iPad.

The iCloud photos beta option has been up in my settings for weeks, kind of odd how it's enabled/disabled at a different pace for people.

If you end up doing it (or needing to) on your phone, I have to recommend Flic. It's 99 cents but it's made the process really, REALLY easy. (and kinda checks in with you every month to see what was just utilitarian junk you may no longer need.)
