I've had my 6+ for about a week now and holy poo poo the battery life is amazing on this thing. It really does have an all day battery and I love being able to surf for 10+ hours before even needing to think about charging it.

Not sure where I found this but if you are trying to track a phone down use this site.

I used it for a few days and was able to find a 6+ in the apple store near me.

While expensive I really love the apple leather case for the 6+. I bought one of the cheaper spigen cases but I felt like it added too much bulk.

Oh yeah and I truly love the battery life on this 6+. It's drat amazing. It's really almost iPad level.

Not sure if this was posted here yet but if you were looking for some better backgrounds this site is pretty awesome.

It has options for all of the iPhone screens.

I'm trying to figure something out and I'm not quite sure if I have it right. I have my old off contract Verizon 5s that I'd like to give my girlfriend who is on Sprint. Everything I have read tells me that my Verizon 5s will work on the Sprint network but do I need to unlock it or can I just take the phone to a Sprint store and they can activate it?

I know for a fact the iPhone 5 was unlocked on Verizon and I was able to use it on ATT. I imagine their 5S is the same.

Awesome! I was thinking as much but I wanted to make sure.

Sprint won't activate a Verizon phone or any phone not branded with Sprint. Sorry.

Wait what the gently caress? How can they do that?

And now that it has been several months with the 6 and 6 Plus's out on the market....6 Plus users still glad they bought the bigger iPhone? I had convinced myself I was going to go with the smaller 6, but the battery life and camera might last second audible me back to the Plus.

I still love my 6+. I never want to go back to a smaller screen.

It depends on that person's settings. You can choose to send iMessages from your phone number or your apple ID.

I must be blind because I don't see that setting.

I'm getting really tired of the messing app crashing nearly every day forcing me to do a force close on it. Does anyone else have this issue?

Messaging? No.

Could swiftkey be causing it? A guy I work with is also using swiftkey and he gets the same lockups where he has to force close the app.

Edit: I'm on a 6+ and hes' on a 5s.

I have SwiftKey and this happens to me at least 2-3 times a day with Messages. I'm curious to see which side is causing the freeze.

I'm leaning towards Swiftkey being the culprit here seeing as how it seems to be the common denominator.

Please let me know if third party keyboards work correctly. I am itching to go back to swiftkey.

If you just want to keep the phone from getting scuffed up then consider the Apple leather case for the 6/6+. It's the closest thing to not having anything at all.

I agree. I love the leather case on my 6+. I've dropped the phone a few times and it's done a great job.

You can't, but I can. I can type and access the full screen with my thumb no problem.

Also, why the gently caress don't third party keyboards work yet? I constantly touch a text box and get no keyboard in all apps. Infuriating.

It's a little better in 8.3 but my understanding is that it's an API issue.

Also I never use reachability.

Are you like a child, because I can use my iPhone 6 plus one handed, it's why I got the phone, the 4 was just absurdly tiny for adult use.

Yeah I'm not a huge dude by any stretch and I use my 6+ one handed all the time.

Yeah a microcell is your best option. Sometimes you can get them to give you one or give you a decent discount on one but it just depends on which CS rep you are talking to.

May as well learn from the pros. I got an old 4s i want to give to my 5yr old to play apps. Is there a way to lock everything except the apps I want him to use? I'm not finding anything super obvious.

I sure if you jailbreak it that would be possible.

I highly doubt it's possible with the stock OS though.

Managed to order my 6s+ on the verizon business account at 12:04.

Business accounts can't do the edge program so I had to burn my upgrade.

How is the Amazon prime music app? Anyone tried it? I'm expecting it to suck but I'm not going to subscribe to Apple Music or Spotify so if it's half decent then I guess it'll do.

E- just started checking it out and it seems very hit or miss.

Well its free so you really get what you pay for. Downloading playlists is pretty easy with it though so I'll use it every once and a while.

DND mutes everything.

Edit: You can have exceptions for you DND though if one of your favorites calls. I wish that DND would let a text alert for a favorite through as well.
