Was debating doing the upgrade program but figured I'd just order directly through verizon. I'll let people try it out for a year and then maybe pick up a 7 with it next year.

Quantum of Phallus posted:I'm from Ireland and U.S. data plans are literally criminal. I pay the equivalent of around $30 a month for unlimited data/texts/same network calls and other networks are free on weekends. In Australia a sim only contract from our highest quality carrier is $95 for 6gb. I typically get LTE speeds around 80-100 megabits though.

So I wasn't able to keep my grandfathered unlimited att plan through the app or the att website. It only would let me do next/full price on the app and full price on att website. I ordered it through apple on next. Any chance I can call up att and explain the problem to them? If not I'll just cancel it and go through att over the phone.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Awesome, thanks! I know this is late, but either way is fine. Edit: I guess I should have posted this on bold letters before today: ATT still does two year contracts, but only through the att.com website or through ATT company owned stores. Apple cannot do two year contracts. Zetterberg: the two year pricing is more expensive on the mobile share plan you are switching to, so you didn't lose out anyway.

spongeworthy posted:Couldn't order since I have one payment on my AT&T Next plan left before eligible to upgrade. Oh well...not ready to give up my jailbreak anyhow. Guess I'll wait and see what happens on that front with the new phone. You can pay it through AT&T right now and still order to get the phone on the 25th. Or bypass the whole thing and schedule a reservation to utilize the iPhone Upgrade Program

Ordered the 6s 64gb at 3 am and woke up second guessing myself thinking maybe I should go to the 6S Plus. I haven't ever wanted to carry a television screen around before but now, for some apparent reason, I'm interested. To those of you who have the Plus, how is it in your pocket or at the gym? I guess that's the two things I'm worried most about since I'm afraid it'd be just to massive.

You should still be able to do two year contracts over the phone, in store or on att.com, assuming you're off contract currently.

So what's the consensus for us with prepaid plans? I'd love to do Apple's upgrade program but I'm not seeing any solid information on how to do it if you're not on the big names. Edit: Oh, GSMArena also lists the phones as having 2gb of ram? When did that get confirmed? cage-free egghead fucked around with this message at 14:55 on Sep 12, 2015 |

From what I've read even the apple reps are giving different answers. I didn't want to reserve and then be told my tmobile prepaid plan wouldn't work with the upgrade program, soI just went with a Verizon plan this year, I'll see what the details are and decide if I want to hop on that for the 7.

Apple finally put up the terms of their upgrade plan: http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/iphoneupgrade_us/ Don't see anything super crazy, other than a line suggesting taxes and applecare+ fees will be due on the first payment and you can overpay each month to meet the equivalent of 12 months of payments if you want to upgrade early. I assume that means you can pay off the loan in full whenever you want but it doesn't state that clearly. If you do upgrade, Apple will pay off the rest of the phone for you and it's out of your life. Nothing in there about activation requirements which is kind of annoying. Still not sure if I'd be buying a no-contract phone or not.

TealShark posted:No red leather iPhone 6s Plus case this time? I really liked the weathered look the one on my 5s had after a couple of months. They're still available everywhere but the online Apple Store (retail stores still have them, I'm sure). Just go buy one now and if it doesn't fit for some reason (highly unlikely), return it. That said, if you like the weathering, I bet either of the browns (or even rose gray) will look pretty good.

I have my appointment setup 1030a on 9/25 for a 6s silver 64gb. I think the carrier requirement is there to not rock the boat. I hope in the future apple will drop the carrier requirement. (MVNO rumors!)

Yeah gently caress ATT for not letting Apple do the 2 year agreements or keep unlimited. I had unlimited but I gave it up to get on a 15gb mobile share plan, which ended up being cheaper.

Walked into an empty T-Mobile store at 10 this morning, walked out at 10:30 with two order confirmations for two 6Ss. No stress or lines or refreshing madly.

So I reserved my iPhone no problem (no money down because I want to do their new program) but I"m curious about something. Since it says a activation with a major carrier is required, and I am trying to keep my prepaid T-mobile plan... What's to stop me from activating the phone normally with a new number in store, walking out of the store, canceling my new T-mobile plan, and putting in my prepaid sim? It's an hour or two of headaches, but that seems like a legit way of getting around the big four as long as you have a compatible sim. (I do).

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Yeah gently caress ATT for not letting Apple do the 2 year agreements or keep unlimited. Eh, this I would disagree with from experience. I worked in management at ATT right above an Apple store in one of the largest malls in the US, and honestly, Apple employees were awful at explaining the differences. I had so many issues of "I was never told this," that I think it is the better option. Now, some of the issue is ATT made things complicated as hell, I don't think Apple employees purposefully lied or anything, but I think that was a big reason they changed policy (the other being they do want to upsell away from two year contracts).

Yeah, I totally get it. It's just that every year since unlimited had been a thing, I could just go into the Apple Store app and click buy iPhone and "keep current voice/data plans" and be on my way. Now I have to go through ATT's terrible website where it's a total crapshoot on if you will get a phone delivered on launch day.

I stayed up till 12am est like a dummy, then thought I set an alarm for 3am, woke up at 7 and got a 64gb silver 6s Plus from Verizon with a 9/25 delivery, I'll take it! Almost went space grey but I like the lighter phones.

So how can you clear out the junk on the Podcasts app? There's about 120MB – on a space-starved 16GB – in Documents and Data but I can't seem to delete it in any way.

I just checked in with a few friends: ATT still offers two year contract through company stores, att.com and phone orders. So if you are told no, they're probably just trying bullshitting.
