This just seems like a worse option to me, personally. For example, if I'm out and about, I can see myself using my phone with two hands, doing all that cool two handed poo poo people would do, but at home, I'd like one handed view if I'm lying in bed or just using my phone for a few moments.

Wait until people realize you can't sit down or climb stairs with it in your front pocket. Its like the Note all over again - 2014 Apple style.

You must have been so ANGRY 12 years ago when you discovered your shiny white iBook could only mirror its screen.

3) a slightly thicker phone with a battery that improves on the 5S, not just compensates for the bigger screen

Oh no, can't do that, my hand hold feel requirements need < 7 mm, not 8 mm!!

Apple to replace bent iPhones

A lot of what Apple has integrated into the OS thus far has origins in android.

OIS is nuts. I ran alongside my kid in the grass and the video looks like the camera is on a loving dolly or something.

I think the way notifications are managed is something that needs a major overhaul.

I'm not sure what the answer is but there must be a better way, one that doesn't involve a long list of dozens of apps and multiple sliders for each.

That's a very personal opinion - I think android's system is far superior. Much prefer the ability to glance and look for a notification than have to pull the drawer down and scroll through to do so.

Also, iOS badly needs a clear all button.

Permissions are all there. Redownloaded the app. Nothing. Whatever.

Next topic: I'm sitting here looking at my iPhone 6 screen and it's already become a greasy fingerprint magnet. Oleophobic coating is gone, apparently. The screen is still really smooth to the touch, though.

I hope everyone that supports dropping the normal headphone jack for lightning headphones never needs to charge their device while listening to music.

Do people normally just leave Bluetooth on all the time? Unless I'm in someone's car who has Bluetooth connectivity I have no need for it and leave it off.

I've been thinking about the notion that a protruding camera lens makes it more susceptible to scratches when you set it down. I'm not sure that's true.

When the lens is flush with the back of the phone, the entire surface back makes contact with the surface its laid on. But when the camera is protruding, the lens doesn't make contact - the edge of the housing does. So while that edge may experience more wear, the lens does not, and you reduce otherwise conspicuous scratching on the back of the phone.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

I experienced the most annoying bug two mornings in a row now. I'd wake up normal to my alarm, but I've been feeling sick so the last two mornings I opened up my default timer app and put in a 30 minute timer. Fall back asleep and wake up to the timer. Next step I'm not sure what happens but I somehow end up dismissing the notification on the lock screen but the timer is still ringing. I open up the timer app and there is no current timer set. There is no way to turn off the ringing unles I reboot the phone.

It's a loving rubber band

ShoogaSlim posted:

It blows my goddamn mind that there are people who don't understand the concept of turning the screen off when they're finished using the phone for a period of time. Like just goes right into their pocket or purse or whatever until the screen naturally goes to sleep. I've met at least half a dozen people in my life that didn't even know you could turn the screen off or that it saves battery or anything. Un loving believable.

The fingerprint scanner, at least isn't new to the S6. The S5 debuted it at Samsung and doesn't work anywhere near as well as TouchID.

I gently set my iPhone 6 Plus face down on the garage floor today to act as a light as I was working under my car. It's in one of the Apple branded rubberized cases. When i picked it up afterwards I noticed a bad scratch on the white bezel above the screen. Oh well. I guess I deserved that, setting my phone face down on a garage floor. Even though the case sticks out a little bit in the front I guess it wasn't enough. But then I made a phone call about an hour later, and while I was on the phone I heard a crack sound. Looked at the glass and sure enough, a crack appeared perpendicular to the scratch going right through the middle of it. It still manages to avoid the actual screen area. Is the glass so weak that a scratch is going to weaken the glass enough to crack, or is this just a coincidence. Has anyone else experienced any "spontaneous" cracks?



note, the peeling case is unrelated, it just tends to peel on the corners and edges.

Apple is repairing the cameras on these phones only. They're not replacing the phones.

Feenix posted:

iPhone/Apple store guys (or anyone who knows...) I have AppleCare+. Does my phone have to be appreciably damaged to get the 79 dollar swap? I want a mint one for a resale but it feels... wrong... to damage mine more than the one or two dings on the bezel.
