I mean, anyone's battery life will be pretty amazing if they hardly use their phone at all while at work all day as it seems like you do. Even my 6S+ would be around 70% after a 9-5 work day in an office with good reception.

Well also I sit across from a window where kitty corner there is a cell tower array so I guess that helps too. Still, it's pretty neat to have 100% after ~5 hours of standby time.

Right now you can now only buy a 64gb SE if you're into rose white. Stupid media told me the response to this phone was tepid but it turns out everyone's sold out. Here I was thinking the days of this kind of thing were over.

Went to the fruit stand to check out the SE and wow, I'm ditching my 6S as soon as possible. Talked to about a dozen other people who are planning on doing the same thing.

Unfortunately, as soon as possible appears to be three weeks from now :argh: .

Having cycled through all three sizes in rapid succession, I found the 4.7" form factor to be pretty worthless. It's a pile of annoyances in exchange for a minor increase in screen size. Go SE if you want portability, or straight to the 6S Plus if you don't mind physically micromanaging your phone.

I'd totally buy an iPod Touch Plus if they didn't skimp on the panel, though.

Also the Space Grey SE looks kinda hideous compared to the 5, I broke down and wrapped a piece of dead animal around it.

I still find my 6 is the size I never knew I wanted. Using an older phone afterwards just always felt so cramped in comparison. As awesome as everyone selling the SE makes it sound, I think I'd miss my daft jumbo phone too much.

I thought the 5 was the perfect size, but I would still Internet in bed with my laptop.

Since getting a launch day 6, I pretty do everything on my phone. I just wish my hands were bigger. :(

My wife is having a strange problem with her 6S. If she misses a call, to get the voicemail, she has to restart the phone. She's only had it since November. Is this a fruit stand problem, or is this an AT&T problem?

Did they change the color of the orange silicone case? I tried to exchange mine for a broken off corner and the only options they had at the store were a pinker orange and a red.

(They said the corner wasn't actually covered under the warranty but were willing to exchange it anyway but I like the color of mine more than I want a non broken one.)

Edit: I guess they had Apricot and Red in stock but not Orange. Too many colors!

Why the gently caress does resetting my network settings on my phone also delete all the wifi passwords on my laptop? Who thought that was a smart idea?

Is there any way to recover them?

Do you have iCloud keychain enabled? It probably synced the deletions.

Assuming it's in decent shape you could sell your 6S and buy an SE. Apparently Walmart is selling them for $300.

A 6SE sized 7 would be the best thing ever.

I'm really tempted. It's a hassle selling/buying a new one, but having a normal sized phone again would be very nice.

Just sell it on Swappa. I've used them a few times (both buying and selling) and it's really not that bad. Also fyi it's just called SE not 6SE.

Looks like they don't have orange anymore.

They knew it was just too stylish for the majority of the proles that buy their phones, and replaced it with apricot. It's a shame, but at least we will always know who has excellent taste in phone cases and definitely are not pedophiles.

A real Portlander now
My 6 has been getting super hot recently when using it fairly normally. I probably wouldn't be able to hold it if it didn't have a case on it. Also battery has been poo poo recently.

Time to cash in AppleCare for a new battery?

Is it common/normal for the phone to shut off due to low battery at anything other than 0%.

Other day said I had 9% then shut off due to low battery. Then earlier today had 5 or so % then shut off.

If it's really that bad, it might be a warranty replacement, anyway. May as well take it in and have a battery diagnostic run. (I think you can even do this from home.)

Yeah. One more question. If this phone is an on contract phone through Verizon do I go to Verizon for help or Apple Store? Always see people talking about going to the Apple store on here but never sure if it's people that bought their phone outright. Used to Android where I always had to go to my carrier store by default.

Think for Yourself, Question Authority.
Why the gently caress are the only two options "select another network" or "use without Internet" when your phone auto connects to a wifi that has a splash screen to connect? If I'm in the middle of something I either have to authenticate to that wifi or be forced into settings to quit out and go back to Safari.

Verizon store if you hate yourself, Apple store if you don't.

An Apple product is an Apple product is an Apple product. Your warranty is through Apple. Doesn't matter where you bought it.
