On the AppleCare+ discussion. Keep in mind that if you are using some credit cards (e.g. Amex) to buy your iPhone, you get an additional year of extended warranty thrown in for free by the CC company + usually some sort of accident protection (amex does 90 days). Obviously it doesn't work as smooth as smooth as just showing up at an Apple store and getting your device swapped (you gotta file a claim with the CC company) but it can save you some bucks.

XyrlocShammypants posted:Well multiple outlets are reporting now that the 6+ will have 2GB of RAM, so that's nice. Maybe they are full of poo poo and this is echochamber stuff? It seems pretty reasonable. That would be disappointing...I went for the 6 because I assumed that the hardware (other than OIS which I don't care about much) was identical to the 6+... Although i haven't seen any concrete evidence that would confirm the 2GB memory rating, it could be just sites parroting each other...

vyst posted:The problem is it's not a watch, it's an accessory to an iphone. There's a difference. They've stated repeatedly that the watch retains some functionality without being around an iPhone. Cook said on Charlie Rose that you can (for example) stick music on it and listen via bluetooth while going on a run without lugging the phone with you (and the watch will keep tracking of your fitness stats in the meanwhile). Also, Apple's releasing an API and seems to be handling the Watch in the same way they handled the iPhone once they realized the value of third party apps: Make a platform that looks good and works well at the basics, has smoothly working hardware (and fitness sensors in this case) and let third party developers come up with the killer apps. I have much higher hopes of the Apple Watch turning into a useful gadget than I do for Android Wear because the later has been around for a few months and still basically only functions like a notification proxy for your phone.

Kiwi Ghost Chips posted:Except that it piggybacks off the iPhone GPS, so it's not very useful for fitness stats either. The pedometer and heart rate monitor still works. If you want to geolocate your run then you carry the drat phone in an arm band. It's not like gps enabled fitness trackers are all the rage...

Because the magical device that incorporates a phone, a watch, a GPS tracker, IO for wired headphones and a battery that will a full day while fitting comfortably on your wrist hasn't been invented yet.

ArsTechnica reviews are OK but a lot of their other content tends to be very click-baity... AnandTech reviews are the best, super objective and editorialism kept to a minimum.

Do you need to have active network connectivity (over cellular or Wifi) on your iPhone in order to pay via Apple Pay? More than a few of the places where I'd like to use Apple Pay at have crappy reception and no WiFi. On the other hand, I'm thinking that the implementation could be such that it doesn't require any connectivity on the part of the phone (when you add the card to the system the card provider just pushes the token generator which is stored locally on the device and can be executed independently).

Endless Mike posted:Can I ask why you care why you can't use Apple Pay for apps on 5s when you can still use TouchID to use the card attached to your Apple account? Because the 5s probably still lacks the tiny bits of silicon used to store the generator parameters and generate the single-use transaction tokens that are used in lieu of your credit card number when using Apple Pay.

Henrik Zetterberg posted: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?

Neurophonic posted:Press the home button and it should enable the touch screen again. Don't kno why it happens but that sorts it for me. This happens on literally every single capacitative touchscreen phone I have ever used from iPhone OG to iPhone 6 and a bunch of android devices. My theory is that the touch screen does some sort of self-calibration every time the phone is woken up which is messed up by resting a part of your anatomy on the screen at just the right time.

The battery life on the 6+ blowing me away. Unplugged it at 10am, back home at 11pm and I'm at more than 50% battery life.

Flameingblack posted:I've got an 5c and the camera keeps freezing every single time I try and use the back-facing camera. It either freezes entirely, or a solid purple line covers up 4/5ths of the screen and then it freezes, too. Is there a fix to this? Resetting the phone and closing the app doesn't fix this at all. I don't have a case over it. Phone has never been dropped. The camera is just non-functional. Should I take it to get repairs? Sounds like a bad camera module (had similar symptoms on my 5 after a screen repair). Take it in.

I used to be one of those "16GB of storage is good enough for me" people. Then I swapped my 16GB 6 with a 64GB 6+. Not having to juggle storage for apps, games and photos around makes the phone so much more useful.

JAY ZERO SUM GAME posted:I figured this, I just didn't know if there was some ATT Next blah blah that linked a phone to a particular number. It would be dumb were that the case, but this is a cell carrier we're talking about here. Should be fine. Just FYI, if you bought your iPhone 6 between Nov. 1st and Dec. 25th, you're probably eligible for the extended return period that Apple's got (till Jan. 8) so at the end of the day you might be able to just return your 6 for a 6+ swap (http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund).

feedmyleg posted:The big problem I'm having with my iPhone over Android is pausing audio on the lock screen. On Android I can pause some audio (say, Pocket Casts) and when I return the phone from sleep, I can just click play on the lock screen regardless of how long the audio has been paused. On iPhone I constantly pause things for a minute or so, then when I click the top button there either aren't player controls or I see the player controls but they disappear immediately. HOW do I fix this? I need to constantly pause audio on my iPhone but its so annoying to me when I have to unlock the phone and either swipe up or go into my podcast app to start again. Generally, you can control media playback from mission control (slide from bottom) even if the controls aren't visible directly on the lock screen.

Michael Scott posted:6+ is too big, don't do it. Unless you put it in a purse all day long. The 6+ fits in regular jeans pockets just fine...can't vouch for how it feels if you wear those testicle-constricting super skinnies though... For me it's also very useable one-handed for web browsing / navigating the UI...one-handed texting is tricky though...

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:Link? I considered the expensive stuff by Twelve South. I dismissed the surface pad mainly because it doesn't look like it offers much more than basic scratch protection to the screen. The BookBook looks really cool and i like the fact that the interior shell case detaches. However, it didn't have a magnetic clasp so i thought the front of the case would flop around a lot. I ended up getting this: http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Verus-...e+iphone+6+plus Decent amount of storage (3 credit cards, a few banknotes, insurance card + driver's license without looking too bulky) and it's got the double small style" magnetic clasps (aka not the 1.5 inch-long single one that just flaps around when the case is open). And it's $20. shodanjr_gr fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Feb 13, 2015 |

You could fold it back with two hands or do some weird wrist twist to swing it back and catch it, but all in all, it's just not built for it. I use my wallet case one-handed all the time...you just let the wallet/cover flap hang...
