I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I'm having some problems restoring my phone, specifically the verifying my identity part. After it asks for my iCloud password it asks me for a verification code which it's supposed to send to my iPad but I'm not getting it. If I choose skipping the verification and signing in through the settings app, I get the code just fine but then it doesn't restore any of my apps. Any ideas? Edit: Nevermind, I just logged in on the website and turned off 2 step verification and that did the trick. croutonZA fucked around with this message at 22:43 on Aug 29, 2015 |

The screen replacement I got last weekend for a misaligned FaceTime camera had a dead pixel/dis rinse the screen, so I took it back to get re-replaced today. Apparently, they would have just given me a refurb  but they were out of my ATT gray 64gb.

Regarding this whole misaligned front camera thing that I keep seeing people post about, does it even have an effect on the functionality of the camera? I have a 6 and I can easily see there is a crescent shaped spot on the upper right of mine but it has no effect on the camera.

I'm trying to get back into running before the summer is over. I typically try to jog after work, but my 6's battery is at like 30-40% when I get home so the thought of going out with GPS, music, and cadence counting for another hour is honestly not that appealing. There's obviously the solution that I just keep it on a charger at work. That's fine and it may come to that, but I don't like the idea that it's something I might forget to do. The other option is to throw my 6 into a battery pack but I hate keeping my phone in my pocket while I'm running. Are there any decent battery + armbad combos? Honestly I think I may just get myself an iPod Touch off Craigslist and run with that, though I'd prefer to keep my phone on me.

What running app are you planning on using? Strava should easily let you go for an extra hour with the screen off while tracking your ride/run.

Yeah I realized that as soon as I left the house after posting it. Looks like I'll just try to form the habit. I'm using iSmoothRun. Let me configure my C25K runs and lets me use my Wahoo heart rate thing.

Your issue is the GPS tracking; motion tracking and playing music will last several hours from 30-40% I don't have any data on it, but I suspect the values from the M8 are on-par or better than GPS tracking anyway, which is always janky as gently caress at low speeds, under variable cover, with changes of direction.

I think I'm going to go via online instead of dealing with the local ATT store. I'm upgrade eligible and did Next with my 5s, should I be ready to preorder at midnight PST in a couple weeks?

I have no idea what's going to happen. I want to upgrade with Next using the "pay off phone, keep it" option on another line on my family plan. That way they can keep their phone and all, but I dunno what Apple will charge me or what AT&T will do once the new phone comes in. I could, alternatively, pay off that phone and pay the ETF which is only around $200 now (1 year into the contract) and then just start paying on Verizon or T-Mobile or something.

Stay up until at least 4AM EST trying to order one. It'll be easier to order on an iOS device using the Apple Store app than by a computer (unless they fixed it up a lot with the site redesign). They'll probably go live for preorders at 12AMPST/3EST on the 11th with deliveries aiming for the 18th of September. If you miss the preorder online, be prepared to wait in line at a store on launch day for a few hours. If you miss that, be prepared to wait a month.

I feel like Apple has really got the supply chain thing locked down for the 6S and also are way overestimating on demand to be safe. I would be shocked if it were sold out for more than a week or so. How long did the 6 (which was supply constrained) last for preorders? I got one on launch day and I don't remember staying up late or running into any kind of hassle.

Anyone ever preorder at the same time you're switching service? I'm currently on a t-mobile prepaid plan with an android phone that seems to have one foot in the grave, but with this year's mediocre lineup of android phones I'm thinking I might give an iphone a try. I'd probably be going to AT&T and getting a 6s, I'm just curious how the timing would work out if I preordered the iphone and said I wanted to port my number to at&t at the same time.

I would be shocked if it were sold out for more than a week or so. You are a total dick for starting shipping times chat before the phone is even announced. A hilarious total dick. Personal anecdote: At pre-order launch there were traffic issues that led to over an hour of hitting refresh on both att and apple’s portals until a preorder could be made that still took 3 weeks to arrive. If you are willing to try the store everyday at open you’ll almost assuredly get a phone in the first week or two (due to returns and how Apple manages their inventory in the first place) but those without such luxury were waiting until mid-November for certain models and colors. if you find that you picked the one that has the longest wait and decide to switch, you’re back at the end of the queue so it’s still not so simple.

So if I want a 6S plus on the first day they are available for sale, should I try to preorder one, or just go to the nearest apple store when it opens?

Preorder at the exact time preorders open and be home* the day it is delivered. EDIT: No, they do not do preorders for store pickup last I checked. *Alternatively, have the UPS/FedEx redirect service and get it sent to the nearest location convenient for you, and pick up there. This is actually the better option since iPhone delivery day is horrible for delivery people and they like to not even bother knocking if it even remotely looks like no one is home.

When you order via the Apple site you will provide details about your AT&T account and the line that has the upgrade you wish to use. You'll be prompted to enter either a 2 year or NEXT plan and then the ordering is the same from there. You may not get the 2 year option but it was kinda random for me.

Google released an Android Wear app for iOS, it seems it largely will interact with Hangouts, Inbox, and the other Google ecosystem apps. It only works for now on the LG Urbane, which is $350; so it's actually more expensive than an Apple Watch for less function.

Yeah, and the LG Urbane is surprisingly decent looking, unlike the Apple Watch. And considering how little actual function the Apple Watch has, it's kind of a wash. Don't buy smart watches.

The Android Wear app for iOS at least pairs just fine with a Moto 360. It also is extremely limited, especially in that the watch has zero means of finding out if you acknowledged a notification on your phone. So every notification gets echoed onto the watch, and then you have to manually swipe it away. I surmise the Pebble probably works in the same manner because of the same limitations in ANCS, but I've never tried one. Music controls seem to work, and that's about all I've otherwise tried. In a one word summary, "meh."

People seem to forget that the original iPhone didn't do much either. I think the main reason it took off is that it had a reliable browser that was easy to use and could load almost any webpage. That and it didn't constantly crash like every other smart phone at the time. I see the same thing with the Apple watch. It doesn't do everything yet but it sure does a lot more than a dumb watch just as the original iPhone did a lot more than a dumb phone.

I think it's biggest accomplishment was treating the phone experience as its own unique thing instead of trying to make it a small computer like WinMo and Palm had been doing, likely just as an extension of the PDA philosophy of being a "productivity" device first and entertainment/leisure device second. Edit: To be clear, anyone trying to argue that Android Wear on iOS is anywhere close to the functionality of the Apple Watch on iOS is bonkers. Google will always be limited in how functional Wear can be on iOS, but it's nice to see them at least try.

I agree with that, and I don't think watches are going to become a necessity like smart phones have. Though I'm sure it'll be a cool gadget for the people who use it. I haven't got one yet (other priorities keep popping up) but I do plan to get one. Before it was announced/rumored I was planning on spending around $300 on a nice dumb watch. I don't mind stretching my budget by $100 just for notifications, apple pay, and seeing the weather on my wrist.
