The apple website says the only option for getting the 6 plus contract free is with T-Mobile. Is this the same in stores? (I have Verizon)

I have big hands and was all about the Plus. For about a week I doubted (slightly) my choice but cut to now and I can't even pick up my wife's 6 without thinking it is smallish. Whenever a delivery guy whips out a 5, (or lord help me a 4,) I feel like I'm handling a child's toy. Not to disparage other phones, it is only to say that it becomes perfectly normal to use a Plus in short order...

Yeah I carried a 6 plus for about a week and I'm glad I went down to the 6. If you can't get an iPad or tablet then yeah it might be good.

The 6+ feels like the phone I always wanted the iPhone to be. I laugh when I see regular iPhones. Why would you want one that small? Seriously though, it's comfortable for me to hold and read on in a way that I didn't find with the Droid Turbo. I must have monster paws and terrible eyes. Plus the battery life is great. And I keep it in my coat pocket. Back pocket when I take it to the bathroom to play some stupid game for 10 minutes while marinating in other men's fart cloud stink. Not a big deal.

I keep an iPhone 4 around to test software on and I like it. I'm just fond of it. I think the 5 is a great size too, but I would take the 6's size over it for sure.

I'm going snowboarding in January and I was wondering if there's any iPhone apps out there that can give me cool info or whatever without needing a internet connection. Not sure what I'm looking for really, just general suggestions of neat apps that might enhance the trip a bit.

Trace snow does top speed, distance, calories, and has some maps depending on your resort. I never ended up using it but my friend wouldn't shut up about it.

Anyone have any recs for good iPhone 5s cases? I had a Speck Candyshell one or whatever it's called and now the rubber has pretty much rubbed away and parts of the plastic shell has fallen off. I also dropped my phone a fair amount. Any good cases for a clumsy person like me?

I like the Impact Mesh case that's on the Apple Store. The buttons kinda have to be broken in some though.

So yeah. I have to eat my words. After having 6 plus for a little over a month, I am conceding that 16GB is, in fact, *not* enough space. As I'm finding myself using it more and more in place of my iPad, I slowly ate up what space I had with work documents, annotated PDFs, and other various bric-a-brac. I still use cloud services and storage extensively, but there's enough that gets cached locally or just makes sense to have on the phone locally it began to impact my workflow as I constantly had to make space. Fortunately, I was able to go online to the Apple store and order a 64GB model that my Apple store had in stock. So after an iCloud backup and restore I'm back up to speed. I guess my dad will appreciate the 16GB one  EDIT: because words are hard. Proteus Jones fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Nov 26, 2014 |

I've got a basic Photos/iPhoto question, so it's also a Mac app question. Let me break it down: 1. I take a photo with my iPhone, and it's added to the camera roll and my photo stream. It stays on the photo stream for 30 days or until I take 1000 more photos (assuming this is my first photo). 2. I turn on my Mac, and the photo appears in my iPhoto Library. It's listed in the category 'Last 12 Months' and in the 'November 2014 Photo Stream' folder in the 'Events' category. 3. Back on my iPhone, I go to 'Albums' -> 'My Photo Stream' and delete the photo. Does this also delete the photo in my iPhoto Library? If so, what can I do to permanently archive the image inside my iPhoto Library without having to also keep the image on my phone or on my photo stream? I ask because it's my understanding that photo stream only keeps 1000 individual / 30 days worth of images, and I've got the psychotic urge to keep every photo I've ever taken on my iPhone. Question Mark Mound posted:That's mostly my plan, I was just thinking of stuff like offline maps that show the courses in case I get a bit lost (first time ever boarding on a real mountain), or tracking maximum speed or whatever. I've always liked this for use when I go hiking. It's got a shitload of different map datasets you can download, and you can create waypoints, track your coordinates and elevation, etc. It's a $10 app. I use it for work as well so I didn't mind the price, but be sure and check it out to see if it is worth it to you before buying.

iPhoto archives all photos it gets from Photo Stream, so feel free to delete whatever off the phone.

So if I see it in iPhoto's library, it's safe? That's good to know. I had read a discussion in another forum that made it sound like the photo would be deleted from iPhoto if I deleted it from my phone. I also noticed something strange just now. There are a handful of photos from about a week ago that are present on my phone's local storage, and on my photo stream when viewed on my phone, but that do not appear in my iPhoto library. I can plug in my phone to my Mac and see the photos in iPhoto, but they haven't been imported to my library. I have to import them manually while connected via USB to get them into my iPhoto library. They were taken with the camera app like any normal photo, so why wouldn't they get saved to my iPhoto library automatically?

Very peculiar. I'm an OCD clean-freak and I've totally given up on Touch ID. No matter what I do, what Internet advice I follow, it works roughly half of the time. I've seen enough reports of people with similar problems that I think there may be a hardware issue with certain devices.

Wow, don't know what is going on with all you dudes, but Touch ID works like, fantastically well for me and always has. I have it set up for my thumb and index finger on both hands and it only fails me when I don't put enough of the pad of my finger on it, which is my own fault. Seriously TouchID is like magic.

Furthermore I find when I go into the App Store half the time it won't let me use my TouchID and says something about having to enter your password the first time you buy something after a reboot only I haven't rebooted my phone in several days but it's told he that thrice today alone.

That's happening to me too but it's not a big enough annoyance for me to worry about. That's without touch id ever having issues recognizing either of my thumbs, which are the only two saved on my 6+. I've been oddly lucky with iOS 8, so thanks Angel Steve

I delete photos off my iPhone after transferring them to my PC, so there's currently nothing on my 6. However, Settings/Usage still shows Photos & Camera using 1.8GB, which is the sum total of photos and videos I've shot since restoring my phone as new last week. What the hell? edit: There's a recently deleted photos folder now. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Nov 27, 2014 |
