The auth for triple the monthly payment is to check that you have at least three months available. The authorization will fall off in a few days. You'll then get another charge for the first month and taxes.

My Amex was just auth'd by Capitol One for triple the monthly payment (also got an auth from Apple).

They do a temp authorization for 3-months as part of the credit check process. It won't post.

When you backup an iphone to itunes is there a way to backup apps as well? Restoring an iphone takes forever as it forces you to re-download all of the apps from the app store. Is there an easier way?

Portrait mode is pretty janky. It can be hard to get it to work properly, and at times doesn't pick up the edges of the "in focus" objects very well. I'm impressed with it overall, but it'll be better once it's a bit more polished

Yeah it can be a little difficult, and it gets it wrong sometimes, but when it's good it looks great

Just a follow up on my Touch ID stuff: the issue where one account couldn't purchase with it was resolved in the latest update, must have been either an edge case or a cache that was wiped during the process.

Now to gaze lustily at the 7 displays at the store when I figure out my clacky screen stuff. :allears:

I'm pretty sure if you have the apps downloaded to your computer it will just copy them over

I feel like the Touch ID is more responsive on the 7 than the 6. With the 6 it refused to recognize my prints unless my finger was immaculate. Even the least bit of sweat from walking or working out and it'd send me to passcode.

No, when you press on the touch id sensor it doesn't bring you to the spring board anymore, it just unlocks the phone but leaves you on the clock screen.

Yeah there's that to, but like, I dunno I guess I'm just that pedantic asswipe.

I liked the 6 being able to tap the home button and only see the home screen when I wanted to because TouchID was kinda slow. There were times where I wanted to unlock the phone so I could just press once but leave my finger there and go to the homescreen too. It's not a bad thing or something I'd list as a con on newer phones, I just liked it.

Maybe that was the why, but the end results are pretty cool. Emphasizing doing things with notifications on the lock screen works really well once you get used to it. The widgets in the swipe right screen are way better too.

The frequent apps widget has basically removed my need to go to the springboard. I'm might be a little happier if I could put a static list of apps in there because I'm kind of compulsive that way but so far it's been pretty smart about suggesting things I actually use so I can cope.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Hey friends -- I'm on the same iPhone 6 I've had since launch and pretty recently my wifi connectivity just, like, totally poo poo itself and died. Speeds haven't seemed to change or anything but my range is suddenly TERRIBLE and I have to be , like, within a few feet of my router to pick up a signal when previously I could connect fine all through my house and even out in the yard. Other devices in my house still work fine and my phone is having the same issues if I try and join wifi networks elsewhere so I'm 100% sure it's some sort of issue with my phone and not my network.

I've tried resetting network settings, wiping and restoring the phone, etc, and nothing's helped. The problem didn't coincide with me updating iOS or like dropping my phone or getting it wet or whatever and I'm pretty stumped at this point .... seems like it almost definitely has to be a hardware issue but that would be such a weird and incredibly specific one and I'm not sure what could have triggered it. Anything else worth trying before I bite the bullet and get a new phone? I've googled around it strangely I haven't seen many people with the same issue, at least not with the same severity.

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.

I think it was Rose Gray last year but I don't see mention of that poo poo anywhere now.

I have tried to update my 6+ with 10.0.2 twice now and it has failed both times, what am I doing wrong fellow goons? The error was something of the lines of 'failed to unpack installation files' rather than bad connection or anything.

Do it through iTunes? Or just don't bother. It's just a minor bug fix and the only major fix probably doesn't apply to you.

Can someone explain how the music widget works and what songs and/or playlists go on there? I haven't found anything that actually talks about the music widget anywhere. Also, is there any way to just disable my icloud music or am I stuck just going to the Downloaded Music option from now on?

Because its $0.99 a month and you never have to worry about what you are dealing with right now.

Also if you don't backup your photos you probably wouldn't even have to pay the $0.99.

What problem exactly are you seeing? I've always been able to restore from backup with iTunes when getting a new phone. Maybe you need to update the OS and iTunes for it to recognize the 7?
