Anyway sorry just venting. Angry that there was no system in place, like contacting the Carrier Account number and getting their authorization. Or sending a picture of me being ripped from her womb.

Yeah it was cathartic. I fully admit to melting down. Long day. Woke up at 2 to order the phone, slept a little more, spent all day in the OR in a bullshit case. Now I'm tired and grumpy and need a drink

I keep seeing a notification for Target Cartwheel, I'm near a target, but I keep getting a notification that it's near. How do I turn this off? I already turned off notification for the App Store.


I think it's the Wallet Pass that is doing it. Open Wallet, go to the Pass that's in there, click the little "i" in the corner and try flipping the "Suggest on Lock Screen" toggle.

Anyone know how the Burlingame Apple Store is on iPhone launch day? I'm going to be flying out of sfo at 11 and I'm thinking of lining up around 5 or 6.

Unless you are signing up for the Apple Upgrade Program or doing some malarky to buy a Verizon phone so it's factory unlocked, I'd just go to your carrier store.

If you don't trade your old phone back in you'll have to pay off the remainder of the cost (at least 12 payments).

I am a new enrollment in the program.

Edit: just saw the other post saying there was no requirement to trade in if you newly signed up. So yep this 6 will go on Craigslist or SA mart once my new phone comes in

I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data ATT plan and pay $62/mo before taxes/fees with my FAN discount. I'm on a 6 so my contract is expiring, but since ATT isn't offering subsidized plans anymore, should I consider switching carriers? If not, should I buy a Verizon 7 for better resale?

Can't you just continue paying month to month with your current plan? I honestly have no idea how it works but I recently just bought a new iPhone outright and I'm in your same situation (contract officially done Sept 12th) and I guess I have no idea what will happen going forward.

You can buy a phone at full price and just swap the SIMs. Your plan + its features are really great.

Yeah that looks like what I'm going to have to do. Although I guess I could do either the Apple or ATT payment plans?

I might just hold off until next year's 10th anniversary phone since the camera is the only upgrade that matters to me and I take my cat pics in near darkness anyway so the larger aperture won't help enough.

So I did the apple upgrade program and gently caress apple. I share an account with my Mother who lives 300 miles away, when I bought the phone at 2am it wouldn't let me change the shipping address to my billing address. I just spent an hour on the phone arguing with them, getting the phone call escalated. They have no way to change the order shipping address, the Phone has to ship to the AT&T Billing address on the account, not to the person who bought it, put in their social security number, and took out a loan.

I have some apple hookers private email address and extension who's going to continue to try and fix this somehow but I'm doubtful, she kept telling me sob stories of her "other clients" getting hosed over by this.

I bought the new watch too, I spend $2000 dollars on a phone and watch and they cant loving ship me half of what I paid for.

So apparently I was supposed to have known to log into AT&T, quickly change the billing address to my home, order the phone, then change it back.

I know it's been addressed already but I wanted to comment on this. I'm in a similar situation. I'm on my brother's ATT plan because he has a lot of lines on it plus he gets a far better FAN discount making it cheaper for everyone. When I ordered my phone last night from Apple's website, it explicitly says during the checkout process that the phone can only ship to the account holder's address and it shows multiple times where it is shipping to. So, sorry for your poor reading ability.

That being said, you may not be screwed. This also happened to me last year. Once the phone actually shipped and I had a tracking number, I was able to contact UPS and have it re-routed to me. It delayed the phone by a day I believe. Give it a shot. YMMV.

Only Apple. ATT Next will make you switch plans from unlimited, I think. I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan and signed up for the Apple upgrade program without any issues last night.

AT&T at least *used* to allow people on unlimited use Next, but they didn't get any discount on the plan, functionally paying twice for the phone. That may not be the case anymore.

Not from what I know, but I imagine it might be on a store-by-store basis unless it violates policy.

It's mostly just that the stores are never that busy. The line at my local Apple Store was about 20 people deep with hour long waits, but my AT&T Experience store had little to no people in it. No lines, nothing.

Few thoughts on iOS 10 so far:

Very snappy. New animations are great.

New control centre is really bad. Not sure why Night Shift needs a button spanning nearly the entire width of the screen for something that's supposed to be automated anyway...

Music app is a mixed bag. The context menu for songs is AWFUL:



Look at this garbage. I know they streamlined the iOS 9 music app after a while so hopefully they do that with this soon, at the moment it's WAY too cluttered. I'd also love to see metrics for who is ever clicking Share Station...

Looks like in both the control center and the context menu they're trying to draw attention to new features. Hopefully that means they'll b changed eventually.

They finally fixed my iPhone upgrade eligibility issue and I can schedule my appointment correctly but they're out of everything, thx Apple. I'll get on chat and see what they can do.

Is it possible to order a sprint or t-mobile iPhone and it will work on AT&T? I thought they had a version that was compatible with all bands and carriers.

I just did this this week and am not looking back. I hate the Spotify app so much. It's battery draining ugly trash. I used SongShift to bring my playlists over and cancelled Spotify real fast.

No more "..." when I start the app with no service but want to listen to cached music.
