Endless Mike posted:This might depend on carrier. iPhone SIM cards are provisioned for visual voicemail, while ones that came with an Android phone may not. Initial setup should transfer your account to the new SIM card, so it's not really any easier. I could be wrong, though, it's been awhile since I've done it. I'm mostly just wondering if for any reason I have to roll back to an old Android phone at some point. If it's easier just to transfer to the new SIM I'll do that instead.

I'm not too sure but I remember reading somewhere the SIM cards in iPhones also have an element for Apple Pay.

As someone who upgraded from a 3GS to a Galaxy Note and then later back to a 5S (current) and doesn't follow the news. Does Apple literally only release phones and products in September? The 6 and therefore the 6S looks like a horrible piece of plastic Samsung abomination even in the hand-sized version. I desperately need to upgrade to a new phone when my contract changes in Feb and as of right now the only phones I can stand looking at 365 days of the year are Motorola Droids (or play/plus/x/whatever the hell the varieties are in Color combos literally not available to Canadians that I would have to pay to import) or a Note 5. Do those D skins do enough work to make the 6/6S look decent again? Anyone have real-life-non-marketing photos of their phone (preferrably a 6 or 6S not a plus) in anything? Wood grain? plain col? I'd prefer to keep things simple and keep the ease of use of imsg and all my various paid apps i've bought. Though switching to Android is basically like writing yourself carte-blanche for anything you can download as an .apk

I've been looking at my phone while I'm working (outside) and seen my battery status drop from 80 to 30 but it still lasts me through the day normally. Cold weather messes with batteries. As they chill the reactions that produce the electricity slow down, reducing output.

MonkeyforaHead posted:So here's my scenario: iPod Touch 5G running iOS 7.0. Becoming increasingly reluctantly tempted to grab the current iOS for expanded game/app support. I haven't jailbroken and frankly don't have any reason to, but my main reservations are: how badly on average has iOS 9 broken the older, no-longer-updated apps, and does iFunbox 3.0 play nice with it? I know IFB 3.0 was introduced specifically to address the lockout introduced with iOS 8.3, but I can't find any straight answers one way or another as to whether that's an ongoing back-and-forth or if Apple's decided to ignore them again for the time being.

I switched my T-Mobile SIM form an android (HTC One M8) to an iPhone 6 and had zero issues. Literally just popped it out of the android and into the iPhone and that was that. Visual voicemail and Apple Pay have worked flawlessly.

I've been looking at my phone while I'm working (outside) and seen my battery status drop from 80 to 30 but it still lasts me through the day normally. Depends on your definition of "cold" as well. There was another poster who was having battery issues in 30 degree weather thinking that was considered cold. It's not. I've used my iPhone in -10 to 15 degree weather for hours at a time (backcountry snowboarding) and have had zero issues with my phone's battery and battery sensor.

Still getting all setup and used to how weird and different iOS is, but everything seems pretty much in place. BeWeather widget seems like it more or less covers what I need (wish it was a little more tweakable but it's fine). The Widgets aren't quite as nice as Android in general, but they aren't bad for the stuff I use them for. Stuff that will probably take me a while to get used to: - No haptic on keypress - Can't cram more than 4 icons on the home row (I swear I've done this on a different iOS device, might have been an iPad?) - Can't lock icons in place on the home screen and they move all over when the phone rotates ahhh First mind blowing thing: Deep touch the keyboard to slide the cursor around. So good.

It's only Apple's fault that you can't install anything but the current OS, even on hardware it sucks on. And that they were selling that five-year old phone new a year or two ago.

Google Music Manager seems to be hopelessly incompetent for some reason and I can't even get it to work on my PC. Is there a recommended app to use instead of iTunes to just load music onto my iPhone without hassle or ads/malware?

They haven't sold it since 2013 and people would equally complain if they stopped releasing updates on their phone they just bought. It's very much a case of damned if you do damned if you don't and Apple is in the right for offering patches that fix security issues.

Well I think the issue is that they only sign 9.2 so if you upgrade to it and find out that it runs like poo poo on your lovely phone then you're kind of stuck. Also it's very possible that I don't know what I'm talking about, but couldn't they keep patching security issues for iOS 8 or 7 or whatever? Or would that be too much of a hassle to be worth it? dik-dik fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jan 1, 2016 |

Nope, security patches for old OS releases are super common everywhere else in the world except phones. Makes no sense to me but I'm not an Apple CEO. Eventually support is killed off.. but it's after several years. Not the instant a new version is released.

I think it's because they prefer that you to buy a new phone as soon as the old one feels slow.

I'm seconding the vote of iPhone 5/5S as the best design. Personally, I couldn't go back to the 5S from the 6S screen size wise, but the 5 series definitely looks better to me then the 6 series. I think it's the top and bottom glass.

The texture of the 5/5S was better too, it didn't feel as slippery. The bevel was made out of styrofoam though, if you looked at it wrong it would scratch. I liked the power button on the top way more as well, I am constantly bumping the side power button when watching videos on my 6s.

I keep having issues with Siri. She will recognize what I say but then can't act on it- for example if I try to make a call, it will show on the screen what I said and after a few seconds she will say "Uh oh, I couldn't make your call." Anyone run in to this before?
