I like Apple Maps but Google Maps has some features I wish Apple would crib. Like on the fly rerouting to avoid traffic. That poo poo was clutch when driving back from Alabama and routed me around a giant accident.

Yeah it saved me from a 2.5 hour backup by having us get on an access road when I was driving through the desert from Las Vegas to San Fran.

Has anyone seen a photo/video with the SE's keyboard? The only thing holding me back from swapping out my 6s for the SE is the fact that when I used a 5s for a week I couldn't type an "s" to save my life and I'm hoping that they slightly improved the keyboard.

It's going to be the exact same keyboard as the 5S because it's the same screen. Get a 3rd party keyboard like noted above. Fleksy os good too but has a steep learning curve of you're used to swype.

where's the best place to get rid of my old broken 5s? it's got a busted logic board or something so doesn't work at all, and I want to recycle it rather than having it sitting around. it's still got data on it (apps, photos, etc.) but I'm assuming it's inaccessible due to the phone being broken; there's no way I can see to wipe it myself before getting rid of it

I'm thinking about getting the SE solely because the quick as hell TouchID introduces more problems than it solves for me. I just want to wake my screen up so I can pause music or skip a track, not unlock the poo poo. I wish I could create a safeguard where if there's music playing or headphones in the jack that I don't have to worry about the phone unlocking when I wake it up.

Touch the button on only a portion so your whole finger isn't covering the sensor works fine for me

Next they'll fix the touch ID sensor to be active at all times without tanking the battery, so something like touching the ring will wake the screen, and pushing the button (or force touching it) with a valid finger will unlock the phone.

Or they'll just add an option to set a small delay between when the button is pressed and when it activates the sensor.

When I updated to 9.3 I started getting battery issues. When I open the camera and begin taking photos or video it drains the battery meter really fast, like it will show a loss of 30% in the space of two minutes. I took a video that was 4 minutes long and it went from 88% to 6%. When I plug the phone in the meter jumps to 40, then I unplugged and replugged and it jumped to 75, then again and it goes to 84. Same deal if I restart the phone it goes to where it should be.

Is this a known issue or should I take it in?

I have a launch day iPhone 6 btw.

Case wouldn't matter much, and distance doesn't matter much. It's glass. It shatters unpredictably because normal bumps and drops create fractures that can turn into full fledged shatters with seemingly minor taps.

Basically glass is shatter proof, until it isn't.

Anything that increases the length of impact aids in reducing shatters. Soft materials like leather increase the cushioning and make the moment of impact longer, reducing the force applied to the glass. Hard cases, not so much. Its the difference between falling rear end first onto a pillow and falling rear end first onto a wooden board.

Kinda crossposting from the other thread -

So a few weeks ago people were saying "iPhone 7 has nothing, wait for 7s as that has real innovation coming round the corner based on some leaks!"

Is this true or just bullshit? I have a 6 and want to see if I should use my insurance to fix it (it's been dropped a bit) or just get a 7

I get it'll always be something but for some reason I remember people saying that the S will just be THAT MUCH BETTER THIS TIME but I hear that all the time and it's just like, oh an extra megapixel. I just want a phone that goes faster

Every new phone is going to be better than the old phone. If you want a new phone now then get the 7, and if a year from now the 7S is that much better just sell your 7 at 70% of the original price and buy the 7S.

Every curmudgeon here is going to say that the announcement was a bust, apple is dead, iPhone 7 is terrible, etc. But they're also the same people that are negative about everything so you should take any recommendations with a grain of salt.

Moral of the story: treat yo self.

With Apple's iPhone upgrade plan, are you allowed to put money down to reduce the monthly payment, or do you have to do $0 down?

Why would you pay extra into a program designed to let you trade in the device halfway through the payment plan? You'd be getting half the value of your upfront payment.

Auron posted:

What? That just doesn't make any sense. Putting $200 down right away would be like paying $200 over a year...just with a lower payment. Its not like you're magically losing money when you trade in.

The iPhone upgrade plan is a two year repayment schedule. So if you pay 200$ on 900$ then the payments will be 700 stretched over 2 years.

If you pay nothing down on $900, it will cost 37.50 a month for 2 years

If you pay $200 down on $900, it will cost $29.17 a month for 2 years

After one year you can trade it in and begin your contract over again.

So after 1 year with no down, you have paid in $450

After 1 year with $200 down you have paid in $350 in installments + $200 down = $550 total

So yes, paying 200$ or whatever up front is literally throwing half of the down payment away.

I decided to check out the delivery dates when upgrading through ATT this morning and they quoted the matte black 128gb 7+ as shipping between Sept 23-30 as compared to the order I made through Apple that said between October 4-10. I went ahead and cancelled my order through Apple and am excited it will arrive a week earlier.

If you have ATT it may be worth it to check that out instead. I think the Rose Gold 128's were still showing September 16 hard date so if you don't mind the pink phone and white face, that's a good choice.

Hey so I wasn't paying attention to "getting on ios10 early" because I was going to save my "FULL EXPERIENCE" for when I received my new iPhone next week. But now that my 7+ isn't coming for a few weeks, I kinda wanna tinker with iOS10 now. I read a bit about 10.0.1 throwing a kink in that.

Is there ANY way, without serious hurdles or costing me developer program money, I can get on the GM release today?

no, and I can tell you as someone with the GM that you're not missing anything. None of the cool features like the messaging changes and such are useful until it's released to the public at large

So I've never waited in line on release day, because preordering, but since I want to get a Verizon phone and am in ATT, that might be my only choice. How bad were lines last year? Is it still a cluster gently caress? I really don't want to camp out for hours.

Depends where you're from. Last time I waited was for the 5S and I was behind a large family of Chinese people and when they came out to give out the reservation coupons (limit 2 per person), they brought out like 4 toddlers from their car and got 8 more coupons on top of their already 8 and bought the entire stock out. When I went to the next closest Apple store there was another large family of Chinese doing the exact same thing. So... Get there first I guess.

What was the last iPhone innovation that was legitimately amazing and had everyone freaking out about? Siri (lol)? Retina display?

Some would say, though they may be Chinese (not that it matters), that the greatest innovation Apple ever had was convincing people that their phone was so good that you could make a ton of money buying them and exporting them back to the very country in which they were assembled. It was an innovation that brought many a family, of all types of ethnicity, together, in line at an Apple store.
