Since I got my launch day iPhone 5S, I've had it in this card holder case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AFGTCJO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_VoUeub0ZDETVR And now that I've ordered a 6, I realized I don't carry my wallet with me anywhere at all. Tried ordering a Shenzhen special of similar but tackier design but it won't be here until probably October. Here's hoping The case selection improves as the dimensions have all been confirmed.

Don Tacorleone posted:After some thought and serious meditation on a mountain away from men, I've concluded that (coming from a 5S) I'm a bit underwhelmed with the new offerings. Basically bigger numbers. Even the design is not driving me crazy, while the tall phone seemed beautiful from the start. I will miss the shiny edges too. The bigger screen is not a selling point for me, the 5S seems the perfect size already for my hands, there is still a 10% of the top right screen where I can't reach comfortably but it still works. You have sufficiently Defended Your Purchase

smackfu posted:Personally, I just need 32 GB. I was hoping Apple would increase the base model, so I could spend $100 less. They did not. That's a minor annoyance. Well, congratulations because Apple is now giving you twice the storage for what would have been the cost of the 32gb model!

AlternateAccount posted:It's more that the online support offered to swap it out in a cross ship and this dude thinks I have nothing better to do than sit around an apple store for an hour and a half. "That sonofabitch can't fix objects instantaneously, what a dumbass! I'd much rather coordinate and then wait several days for someone across the country to ship me a refurbished phone and the send the old one back and then go through the hassle of restoring a backup." From the sound of it, you do literally have nothing better to do.

I'm liking that the battery life is better even on the 6. I'm chalking it up to the standby time being better with screen off due to the increased battery size.Nostalgia4Infinity posted:

Neither my 4 nor 5 were bastardized with a case and they both survived countless drunken nights out as well as the occasionally drop on the floor/ground. Neither phone suffered any screen damage and only minor body imperfections.

Obsidius posted:Shortly before the PS4 was released people were bitching and whining about the console having a wobble. Console releases and people forgot it exists because the whole thing had been blown out of proportion. That and you probably aren't handling your PS4 every day. With an appliance-type electronic you can just use the time-tested sugar packet support system.

Shroomie posted:My last iPhone wobbled because I got drunk and used it to open a beer bottle, which bent the metal casing. My current iPhone wobbles because I got drunk and dropped it and dented a corner. Thank got I'll finally be able to buy an iPhone that wobbles no matter what I do to it.  Maybe you should, uh, lay off the booze a little bit bud.

Oh yeah and a heads up for anyone using the new keyboards llike SwiftKey and having issues with the regular keyboard coming back: you can just remove the old original keyboard in the settings and rearrange SwiftKey to be the first option and it will always default to it.  The old keyboard will still come back for when you have to enter a password but otherwise it will always come first.

Mister Fister posted:Cool, so with iOS 8, I would be able to use Google Now as the default voice app instead of siri and have it do things like turn on timers, put events into my calendar, etc.? There is the Google app which has Now functionality and notifies you about stuff like traffic and all that. And I imagine that it will be updated with a widget that gives you info in the Notification Center. Siri does all that other stuff you mentioned.

mowhonic posted:The surface of the glass on my 6 seems to allow my finger to smoothly glide around, and it feels so much better than my 5s. That will go away after the oleophobic treatment on the screen wears from repeated use and cleaning over the first few months. After that it goes back to being a fingerprint magnet just like the 5S

ShoogaSlim posted:Bingo. If I have multiple notifications and want to unlock to a specific one I don't want to swipe then unlock. Touch ID being all or nothing is pretty lame. I don't need to have a lock on my phone. If someone steals it I can just remote wipe it or something. It's not worth the extra half a second over the course of three billion unlocks over the life of the phone. Slow mo at 240 frames per second requires very short exposure in order to capture the frame. Try 120 fps and it may be marginally better.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Ah, alright. Thanks for clarifying. At least it was one more thing that impressed me about this phone in the first few days of owning it bronin posted:Like others said the conditioning isn't necessary with newer battery technology anymore. It's just so ingrained in people's minds back from the days of nimh batteries. Whirlwind Jones posted:Ahh, so you are crazy. withak posted:Your phone battery requires no maintenance. A laptop battery may if it is in a situation where it literally never gets unplugged otherwise. Dewgy posted:Li-ion batteries don't need to be conditioned, I think that was a NiCd/NiMH thing. Apple recommends you fully discharge your phone at least once. It may not be about conditioning the battery so much as calibrating the battery power meter for the OS. *Braces for everyone to rush in and tell me how stupid I am*

I see girls put their phone in their back pocket all the time, but it usually only works with an iphone 4/5. I can only imagine how much booty it must take to make the iPhone 6+ seem like a reasonable thing to put in your back pocket and not stick out significantly. I'm talkin a whole lotta rear end. Nikki Minaj-level rear end.

I don't think they should be announcing that Apple is replacing bent phones based on a chat with a single customer support agent. That seems really clickbaity. Has anyone tried bending the phone back into shape?

Bottom Liner posted:Yeah, turning the 5 off and restarting the 6 did nothing, restarting it again. You done hosed up the game son. You were supposed to turn off the old one first, remove da sim card (for good measure), and then turn yur new one on. Since you flipped the script and set it up through itunes you gots to call up at&t and feed em the information on the sim card since you didn't do the process right. If you had, your phone would have had you select your carrier from the jump.

I wonder if the screen resolution or size will go up considering advancements in screen/bezel reduction and their new use of the curved glass on the edge like on the 6. Like, I bet they could fit 4.25" of screen in the same dimensions as the 5s currently

As in, if there's public wifi nearby, it more than likely has a disclaimer I have to agree to and I don't wanna do that - I want to use LTE at all times unless I've signed into the Wifi network nearby before. Set the "ask to join networks" switch on
