Only if you do that upgrade again in 12 months plan, otherwise it's a straight up $40, based on my purchase.

Give it 6 months and Apple Pay will be accepted everywhere Isis pay is. Give it 6 months after that and no banks will loan card access terminals that are not NFC equipped. All the while Apple will laugh all the way to the bank with the tiny cut from each transaction they've made, knowing well that it was never the businesses that needed to be convinced. But the banks that allow the businesses to stay in business.

Come on credit unions, get with the times.

Mine had said in September they were thinking about it, then yesterday announced they were going to support it, but didn't announce a timeframe. They have a good app and are generally good with technology, although the location nearest me cannot keep their goddamn ATMs working for anything. Anyway I hope it's soon.

edit: goddamnit my local grocery concern looks like an MCX partner from what I can find, they have NFC terminals that aren't on. Seems like more places around here than I would've thought support regular NFC payments, though.

They're probably trying to protect their image. If Apple had just said that it works on any NFC terminal and people go out to whatever restaurant or store and the transaction fails for some oddball reason, people will assume that's a problem with Apple.

By providing a whitelist, Apple ensures that people will have a consistent and good experience with this new feature/service.

Also there are a lot of stores that have NFC capable terminals that are waiting for that dumb MCX rollout to turn them on, but yeah I think this is the overall reason.

Front USB ports are frequently garbage. Two phones in a row (5 and 6), I've had to re learn that mine are not reliable enough to sync my whole library. Switch to a port on the main board, works fine.

I am enjoying the keyboard improvements and the quick switch. If something you are doing opens a different app, you get a little button up top where signal strength is to go back to your previous app. So if you go to a web page from mail you can just hit that button to go back to mail when you're done.

Also it gets rid of newsstand.

Will there be any real way to play h.265 video on a 6S? Every google result I see for HEVC iphone app looks like a Belorussian scam, and I thought that phones depended on a hardware decoder for that anyway. The only thing really pushing me to get a 64 over a 16 is that I have a couple dozen hours of video I would like to have available on my phone at any time, and if h.265 playback will be possible on it then it may not be worth the extra $100.

It seems like most people who got a 16 gig 6 on here wound up regretting it.

For everyone saying just use the new adapter in the car, unless it also charges the phone (can't see how that would happen) dropping the headphone jack would just because I can't listen to music and charge my phone at the same time.

Most newer cars have a USB port that does both, I think is part of the answer to that.

With Mazda they make you do the firmware update at the dealer so far as I can tell. Took about two years of updates before it stopped crashing and rebooting when I plugged in my phone via USB.

That's insane. I just ask them to do it when I get my oil changed (which the dealer does for free) and the biggest pushback I've gotten is "why, is it not working?" Once they even knew to do it as part of a service bulletin.

I wouldn't put anything on it though, too many stories of the leather bubbling up when people do that. Or maybe just the same guy telling the same story over and over.

The new leather case (for the 7 and 7+) has metal buttons that feel just like the phone's buttons.

This explains a lot about the complaints I was seeing, because I just got my first leather case with the 7 and the buttons are great, but I've see a ton of complaints about them that puzzled me. Didn't realize they'd changed the case.
