The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
Does the free Camera+ promotion still work for anyone else? I've been trying randomly over the past few days and although the offer is still there, it gives me a "no longer available due to high demand" error - though I'm sure people have posted in here that it worked for them since then.

I haven't used Camera+ since I found out about VSCO Cam. Literally the only thing I miss is Camera+'s stabilizer thing. VSCO has so many more features, it's more intuitive, etc.

Touch ID on my brand new 6+ stopped working, even after a reboot and deleting the one fingerprint I registered. The sensor has simply stopped registering my finger – any ideas on how I can get this thing working again?

You can try a wipe and restore. But unltimately, I think you'll have to take it to the Apple Store. Or call support if you live too far from a store. Sorry.

Wipe and restore didn't work, erase all data and settings didn't work. I'm taking it to the Genius Bar today.

Sad thing is I'd gotten so used to iOS 8 being a buggy piece of poo poo on my old iPhone 5 that this doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

You can also hide the "purchase" from iTunes if you think you'll ever listen to it. (It's not terrible, but also not great.)

WhatsApp really needs a retina upgrade. I got a 6 today and I feel like the Zoom function in the Accessibility menu is on while using it.

it's probably an adaptive layout upgrade it needs, not a retina upgrade, but yeah. It's doing the same thing as the zoom function because it's probably running it in upscaled iPhone 5 resolution.

Trip report: I went to my appointment at the Apple Store and they replaced the entire screen, since it contains the Touch ID sensor. Both employees I talked to said they'd seen the same problem before.

Sucks you had a defecto. But imagine if it had been another product or brand. You may have had to wait days or weeks for resolution!

To be fair, Apple's customer service is top notch. I am however lucky that I'm 20 minutes from an Apple Store. And other than the busted sensor, this 6+ is completely awesome and may very well turn out to be the tablet replacement I hoped it would be.

It's not *quite* there for me yet. I use the iPad for a lot of document creation and note taking, so the bigger screen of the tablet is still a necessity. Plus I'd feel weird propping up the phone and pulling out a BT keyboard.

However, for everything else, the 6 plus has already replaced the iPad. Videos, web browsing all that kind of stuff.

What's funny is that it was the banks that needed Apple Pay to have custom card graphics. They said that their card branding was very important and couldn't be ignored.

And then I have a Citi Forward card that has a generic image.

Tried Apple Pay for the first time at Jack in the Box last night. I held my phone close to the sensor, the Touch ID thing came up. I scanned my fingerprint like 8 times and it said "cannot process payment" like 8 times before I just gave the dude my CC. Am I supposed to be doing anything other than just scanning my finger print?

You just hold it up to the sensor and authorize with Touch ID while in range of the sensor. Occasionally I have moved my phone while authorizing which will cause it to leave the sensor's range and the payment won't go through. Maybe that's what's happening in your case?

I have a question about battery usage. I have an iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1 and my battery drains faster than I'd expect during the day at work. I have background app refresh disabled, and changed all push settings for mail/contacts/etc to fetch (30 mins). Location services is on (but apps only use when active except for weather apps), wifi is off. Battery usage reports 19% home and lock screen, 15% podcasts (a few downloads, a couple plays), 9% mail "low signal" in subtitle, and various others. What else can I do to minimize battery drain, other than airport mode?

I do have very poor signal at work and worry that fetch services may be retrying too often. Not sure if changing back to push would help or hurt.

The answer is actually airplane mode. Just turn it off to check every so often. That's almost certainly killing your battery as the phone is constantly searching for a stronger signal. I work in a dead zone too, and I just leave it on airplane mode and walk out into the hall every hour or so and let it check then.

No amount of fiddling with your settings will fix the cold hard reality that this is the major reason why your battery life sucks.

In my opinion you're better using your works WiFi. It's more than likely more battery efficient than using the cell network.

I'd also wager one of those MicroCell towers from ATT or a Samsung Network Extender(SCS-2U01) for Verizon would rectify the situation. But I'd probably just use wifi and be happy.

Well, where I work Wi-Fi, as well as the network at large, is only to be used for company assets and actively blocks anything that isn't asset tagged. Actually, I'd recommend either bringing your charger or getting another and just leaving it connected to power all day, if you can't deal with airplane mode.

similar situation for me. I'll probably just downgrade some settings further and use airplane mode more. Don't want to leave it plugged in all day as I understand that's hard on battery longevity.

You take it off when you're at home, don't you? As long as it's not constant it'll be fine M-F. Hell, don't charge it overnight weeknights since you know it'll be charging the next day.

This used to be the case for me, but then Verizon ponied up the cash and ran IT-approved repeaters through our buildings.

So I requested a sim unlock from T-Mobile for my 5s, do I really just plug it in and run iTunes in 24 hours and it'll unlock? How does the phone or iTunes know? :tinfoil:
