fordan posted:Hell, I went on to the Apple Upgrade Program last year with a year remaining on my Verizon contract. Verizon doesn't care if you upgrade your phone before the 2 years is up as long as you aren't looking to get another subsidy on the upgrade. It does mean you'll still be paying the higher subsidy line rate assuming you're on a plan that has a difference like More Everything/Verizon Plan in addition to your AUP phone payment during the overlap. Oh okay, I assumed switching phones at all would cause an issue. Thanks!

Seriously, I never leave until they are there. Starbucks is two blocks away, they can sit for five minutes while I walk over, especially since they (like this guy) are always at least 15 minutes late anyways. While sitting there waiting for the guy to look over the phone, I got texts from other people wanting it, so whatever. He found a little scatch on it, and started to make a big deal of it, and I just said "well, it's two years old, has applecare+ go get a new phone."

Swappa or Amazon trade-in for me nowadays. How much would Amzon give me for an unlocked iPHone6 64gb? Gazelle was like $200, and with Swappa you have to deal with all the lowballing comments that ask you to lower the price, and then you have to pay them and for shipping, so any money is minus $20. I think $350 cash is worth twenty minutes, since I'd have to go to the post office and wait inline there anyways. I've sold a ton on CL, baby stuff, bikes, etc, and it's always a pain, but I reported it more for the comedy, not for the PSTD.

So has there been any rumors or grumblings around the internet about when the 7+ will be readily available at Apple/phone carrier stores? I've never been up for a new phone around the time of a big release like this and don't really know what to expect regarding availability and all of that jazz.

Yeah, I've been monitoring iStocknow like a hawk the past few hours. I had the chance at the general manager holding me a Rose Gold one, but I got hesitant about having a pink phone. Now, I'm totally cool about rocking a manly pink phone that it's gone.

I up until yesterday I would have suggested selling it on Amazon as I have done every year since the 4S. That is until I checked and my years of history and 5/5 rating doesn't qualify me to sell apple products unless I pay $40/month on top of the usual fees. At least Verizon will give me $650 for the phone albeit strung out over 2 years.

I've never been up for a new phone around the time of a big release like this and don't really know what to expect regarding availability and all of that jazz. Probably mid November. The latest ship dates I've been hearing don't go much farther than November and the initial boom will have died down. The holiday season is coming and that hopefully comes with higher production and definitely a shipping industry that's ramped up. No way to really tell for sure, but once all the people have to have it near release have theirs Apple should be able to catch up.

echobucket posted:Well my UPS flight landed in Alaska. One interesting thing about this whole shipping debacle is, I learned a lot about how cool flight tracking is nowdays. This site has 3D flight tracking The 3D thing is cool (didn't know they did that), but it relies on ADS-B transponders, so the technology itself is quite simple. Airplanes broadcast their call sign, their location, their information (altitude, etc), and amateurs with radios hooked up to their computers listen to it and automatically upload it to the website. That way they have a database of where commercial aircraft are, wherever they have volunteered. I think today or yesterday they announced they are going to partner with a sat constellation to do space-based ADS-B, with 100% worldwide coverage, so they will be able to track flights that are pinging ADS-B worldwide without the need for volunteers with receivers on the ground. I suppose I shouldn't have said it was simple. The idea of a transponder asking the plane's GPS "where am I" and broadcasting that out is pretty simple, creating a network of civilian receiving stations and then even doing it from space, that's pretty complicated. edit: It's FlightAware that is doing space-based

Got my fingerprint edition yesterday. Getting a leather case today. It feels great with out a case but holy poo poo is it going to get scratched to hell and back. EDIT: Is the storm gray color new? I don't remember it last year. I had the saddle brown on my 6s+ but decided to go with something new this year so I picked up the gray. I like the new case design a lot better this year.

It's only for people who are using the iPhone Upgrade program. if you plan on using anything else, you're out of luck. If you're a current iUP user, you can use something else, but if you want to reserve a phone for your carrier and then use carrier financing devoid of any mention of the iUP, they'll turn you away.

Anyone else having issues with iOS 10 freezing/crashing? I restored from backup on my 7+ and I'm getting either a complete freeze requiring a hard reboot or a crash to a black screen with the the spinning dealybob about once a day. Going to try resetting and starting out fresh I guess.

Has anybody had a problem with their iPhone 5s being picky with how they're being charged? My girlfriend's iPhone has had issues charging, starting when we were on vacation in Indonesia. She left it to charge from a wall adapter overnight and it only charged up to 36% until it stopped. Since then, it's been really picky on when it wants to charge. I have a battery bank with 2 outputs, one 1A and the other 2A and the phone only charges from the 2A output. So we used this till we came back home where all of a sudden, it's not charging from the 2A output but it now does from a USB wall plug with two outputs, but only if it's the only one plugged in. It will stop working once the other USB socket is connected.

My poor man 5c has trouble charging for liek the first 5 seconds that I plug it in and then it fixes itself. No lint or debris in the charge port either, but you could check for that in yours. Just get a paper clips and go crazy.

Anything showstopping, I can walk away from the order. Anything that needs patching, I'm sure the worst stuff will be worked out by November.

I cancelled my black 7+ order and picked up a black 7 since it was available in a store nearby as I'm visiting family. Seeing the plus in person for the hundredth time I still feel like it's too large to do a lot one handed. Matte looks fantastic though and is very close to his the slate color of the 5 was. I actually really like the new home button after using it for a while and holy moley it's fast. As a side note, it was done through IUP and I had initially canceled a jet black IUP order and reordered a matte one because Apple couldn't change it, but it seems like they only ever did one credit check for the first time, fortunately.
