I'm not surprised, even at a lesser known store like the one I used to go to in suburban Phoenix was usually pretty swamped. It usually took a few minutes of waiting before I could sign in for a service appointment.

So as far as selling my old iPhone 5, I'm going to do a factory reset, remove it from my Apple ID and Find my iPhone, and then take the sim card out, is there anything else I'd need to do? Speaking of the sim card, since I didn't need to put it into my new phone, do I just cut it in half and call it good?

I got an email this morning saying I needed to activate my new device and it would only allow me to activate the correct SIM and IMEI number combination. Now both of my phones say "No Service". Reboot your 6S. Same thing happened to me. Once I rebooted, it pulled a signal.

So I got a 6s, and I'm having a couple issues, and hoping someone might have ideas. First, every time I power cycle the phone, it asks me for my iTunes password. It works fine once I input it - I can download things, etc - but it asks for it every time. Second, my Apple Watch displays a loading icon instead of the tap/heartbeat icon for my wife, and it never changes. She has a 6 with a 38mm watch, I have a 6s/42. Last, I was hoping to use the vastly increased storage to fix the problem I have because of apple changes. I like to keep all of my photos, and I've always backed them up to my PC. Plug in, copy over, etc. Recently it seems that apple changed iOS to store photos in iCloud rather than on the phone. I changed the setting to download and store originals, let my phone restore overnight, but it doesn't seem to have actually downloaded the photos. Is there a way to force it to? Alternatively, is there a way to download them from iCloud (on Windows) that isn't saving them one at a time? (It's ~4800 photos, so photo stream doesn't help.)

The Lord Bude posted:I'm amazed you made it more than 5 feet into the store without a staff member asking you if you needed anything. Every time I've ever been into an apple store they have an insane staff to customer ratio -even staff per square meter. They usually have like 20 staff. It's pretty impressive the way they all whip out their iphones and complete your transaction then and there though. I'm surprised in the differences here to my experience last week (in the UK). I went in the store to buy the new iPad Mini and had to speak to 3 different members of staff and wait around before I could get served. The first person I asked said he couldn't help me and took me to a 2nd, who took my name down on an iPad and said someone else would be with me in 5 minutes or so. Both of them then went back to standing around doing nothing - I don't understand why they couldn't go and grab one from the stock room for me. Neither of them were geniuses or the guy signing people in for genius appointments, just seemed to be regular floor staff. GutBomb posted:That's a thing? How do they prevent shoplifting? While waiting around I saw something for the first time that's maybe linked to this. A plain-clothed guy with an earpiece came over and asked me if I needed help while I was stood around holding an iPad cover, maybe I looked shifty or something. After that he went and had a hushed discussion with one of the floor staff, gesturing towards the entrance. So maybe they do have "stealth" security.

Is buying AppleCare on new iPhones a no-brainer these days? Looking to upgrade from an iPhone 4s(!). Thinking I'm going to be pretty blown away by upgrading to a 6S+.

AppleCare isn't the free ride it used to be but it's such a small percentage of the cost of the phone I do think it's a no-brainer. If your phone takes a swan dive to the pavement it'll save you a lot of money.

It makes less sense if you swap every year (since then you're paying for twice the coverage you need) and you're not clumsy. You can break the screen once and come out even. If you are accident prone or keeping the phone for two years, definitely worth it.

Ok good to know. I'm on a three to four year cycle at this point so seems like a good idea. Just trying to decide on the 64gb or the 128gb. With the 4K video and the likelihood that I'll keep this phone for three to four years seems like the larger phone is the way to go.

Pivo posted:I'm using the Ookla speedtest app on the phone and speedtest.net on the laptop (same thing). I wonder why download over ac is so slow on my phone. I speedtested over 50mbit down over LTE on my iPhone 5... No reason my connection should be so slow on WiFi. The only thing I can think to suggest, is to turn off WiFi assist and try again. It's possible you're using cell-data on the phone without realising it. It's more likely however your antenna is simply better in your laptop; they very commonly are. Have you performed the test within close proximity to the router, to troubleshoot?

Rhaegar posted:You still pay? Guess I don't know how AppleCare works. Yes. You pay "less" up to 2 swap outs in 2 years. But now that lots of folks are on a yearly upgrade plan, 2 years of service may be extreme especially dependent on what a cold/uncovered swap out may cost ( if it's close to, say, $230, that it would cost you to cover and replace the S phone once.)

Rhaegar posted:You still pay? Guess I don't know how AppleCare works. Yeah, they added in fees for replacement a few years ago when people were abusing the program to get a pristine new phone prior to selling it on the secondary market. It's still not a horrible deal, if you shatter a screen without AppleCare it's $250 or something to get it fixed. It's just insurance. If something goes wrong, you won't have to pay as much. If nothing ever goes wrong you wasted money.

I guess I don't see how it's worth it at all in this case then; if you pay $99 for Applecare and you still have to pay $129 for the screen replacement, aren't you really only saving ~$20?

In the UK, the AC+ deductible is £55 for the 6, and £79 for the 6S. Meanwhile, a replacement screen is £65+VAT They *really* want you to consider using a claim for a screen to be a bad idea, presumably to prevent deliberate breaks.

Does anyone know how wifi assist definitely works? Shouldn't the wifi indicator disappear whenever the mobile data radios are using data? If not and there is no clear indication of what radios are using data at any given moment it's a broken feature imo.

Notes from someone coming from an iPhone 5s to 6s: 1. It feels lighter, even though I know it's heavier. Maybe it's the thinness and that the weight is more distributed because of the larger size. Or new phone placebo. 2. This thing is smooth. Feels really good to hold. My new "idle tic" is rubbing the corners of the front glass, where it curves into the side. It's also slipped out of my hand a dozen times (into my lap while sitting or onto my chest in bed) in the last 24 hours. Definitely going to need to get a case. 3. The rose gold isn't that pink. It really is rose gold. Depending on the light, angle, and color of what's being refected, it sometimes looks gold, or champagne, or copper, or silver, or pink, or grey. I like it. 4. It's faster in that it's as fast as it should've always been. It keeps up with you. You'll still see the UI of some apps refresh after you get "in", but not as often.

The battery usage screen was actually very surprising for that reason. hitze posted:Use one of your nine other fingers! I enroll both thumbs and both indexes, so it would be a little awkward.

AppleCare+ is $129 up front plus $99 per swap in the case of accidental damage. If it's a true defect (like the misaligned camera on the 6) then the repair or swap will be free like it is for AppleCare on Macs. The + just means accidental damage protection as well as extended warranty repair.

The problem is, most people don't have / want unlimited data. At full 4G speeds you can burn through a data cap in literal minutes if you're thinking you are on wifi. I think a speed test alone is about 50mb a pop. It's a great implementation in a theoretical world where wifi data and cellular data are equivalent, but they're usually not.

Rose gold is an actual alloy of gold and copper, not just pinkish gold. Calling it rose gold implies that they're trying to mimic the metal's light behavior rather than the color.

I think it's pretty obvious that they skewed the rose gold color toward pink so that they could sell a pink phone without calling it "pink", which I assume they feel is a color name that's "beneath" their flagship device. They could have made a more copper rose gold and deliberately chose not to.

I've got a question about LTE stuff. My friend wants to buy a 6s (the T-Mobile version) and then use it in China. Does anyone know if the LTE will work there? I checked Apple's site and it seems like it should work just fine. My friend's planning to use China Mobile as well, I know China Unicom should work okay.
