How do I order it with apple's payment plan instead of AT&T Next? It's either that or pay full amount on the app.

You have to do that "check reservation availability" thing that shows up at the top of the page.

edit: Or at least there is a link in the app. It doesn't seem to be there on the desktop website.

edit 2: Ah, there is a Reserve to buy in store button below add to bag for the desktop website.

Man does the upfront cost of buying an iPhone stings. I know it's cheaper, and I can easily cover the cost, but I'm tempted to do the payment plan just because it doesn't hurt as much.

:eyepop: I'm looking at this email confirmation and feel the exact same way. Too bad apple wont let me do it through Cricket Wireless :(

Does the carrier even matter now? Shouldn't you be able to select one of the carriers that gives the option of the payment plan (like t-mobile) and then just drop in your cricket sim?

So people who liked having a small phone, but jumped to the 6+ size. How did it work out for you? Ended up adjusting and never looking back? Or jumping back down to the 6 or something smaller?

I've used both at work for testing stuff, but the 6+ never feels comfortable for me. But I'm not using the 6+ as my actual phone, so I'm not being forced to adjust.

If anyone is interested Costco has a $100 mail in rebate on iPhone 6S/6S+ for T-Mobile customers and $50 for Sprint customers. Cashback comes in the form of a Costco cash card though.

Someone did a mockup for a top bezel



Right looks 1000% better than the piece of poo poo on the left.

I like the mockup someone did where they just made the system bar black background.

You don't need glass to get wireless charging. Plenty of Android phones do it with plastic backs.

Somehow I don't think Apple is ever going to do a plastic backed phone again.

SnazzyLabs has a decent video about his opinions about iPhone X UX (excuse the clickbait thumb and title, you pretty much have to do that on YT these days)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvoXDSHO-mA

I agree with him about 3D Touch being the natural solution, but Apple doesn't allow 3D Touch to be used for features exclusive to 3D Touch... I'm guessing for accessibility purposes? Still, he is right about the fragmentation in UX!

His comment about Marquee having issues with the control panel was spot on, Marquee brings it up in his latest vid.

Has anyone made a smartphone with a carbon fiber body yet? It works well enough on my dell latitude and it would be yet another justification for $$$$ phone pricing.

Yes, Vertu and they were $$$$ to $$$$$

For a data point, T-mobile 64gb black off the Apple store just now. ETA 11/10-11/17

Too bad it's for work. Still have to go to the physical store to try and get an unlocked dual antenna version for personal use.

Do airpods fit snugly in people's ears? Or are they supposed to feel like they are resting loosely in your ears?

I went to try them out and it felt like they would fall out. But at the same time, I had to shake my head quite a bit to make them actually fall out.

Does Apple have a timeline for when they start offering the simless version of an iPhone? (If it the option wasn't already there at launch?)

is there a recommended/accepted small tripod for cellphones?

Depends on what your requirements are. I got this recently: https://pocket-tripod.com/ as portability was my primary concern. So far it's been working out.

Check out Halide, it’s a paid app but has a 7 day free trial.

Yeah, Halide is super nice. But, jeez that price. Getting grandfathered in on the Mark 1 purchase was a steal.

It'll pop back up in 16.1 or something who knows.

I can only hope. Everything feels a bit too flat.

Really what I wish was in iOS16 is a way to hide the home swipe bar. It's been 5 generations of home-buttonless iPhones, please Apple.

The search being right there is legit kinda annoying.



It just seems so out of place

It's the change in dismissal behavior that's super annoying. Before you could swipe up anywhere to get rid of the search view. Now you've got to swipe up from home bar.
