We were in a similar situation last year where we got 4 random config space grey 5S's and 10 random 5C's I remember last year, the entire area sold out of 5S's within minutes of opening their doors that morning, with the exception of HH Gregg who had several left in the late afternoon. Reason I suspected is because nobody expected a place like HH Gregg (discount electronics store) to have any stock to begin with. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Sep 13, 2014 |

ShoogaSlim posted:I've been stewing over which screen size would be the better choice when heading to the ATT store early tomorrow morning. These two responses kind of seal the deal that the 6 is a better choice than the 6 plus. The Plus may not be a choice for you if you're planning on getting one tomorrow in an ATT store. I work for an ATT reseller, and we received one 6+ for tomorrows launch. The official ATT store in town and the one a town over claims they aren't receiving any.

I'd like to add my two health insurance cards and my AAA card to passbook. There are websites out there that will let you generate your own passbook cards. I haven't used any of them since passbook came out but a quick google search should bring up a few.

Not just stickers, but the black apple stickers that come with the new Mac Pros. I bought both the 6 and 6+ (was going to give the 6 to my wife, but she likes my old 5S and says the 6 is too big), and while I prefer the 6+ and had just planned to use the 6 when I'm working out or doing yard work and whatnot, those eBay prices have me intrigued. e: as far as the bending issue, I've owned every iPhone, and all of them from the 4 on have had a slight bend to them after a few months. When the specs of the 6/6+ were released, I remember saying to my coworkers that the plus was likely to fold like a piece of paper. So far, I haven't had any issue with it, but its not like it shouldn't have been expected to some degree. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 05:22 on Sep 25, 2014 |

The 6 plus is awesome and I've never felt the need to use reachability, even on a smoke break. And Apples keynote streams have always had issues, though maybe not as bad as this latest one. I'm sure it's one of the main reasons why they have been spotty on even having live streams over the past few years. It's just too difficult knowing how many people are going to tune in. I know I sound like an apologist, but it seems logical to me (though the Chinese translation during the keynote was pretty weird).

appropriatemetaphor posted:Yes phones literally bending from being put in a pocket is something someone should expect. Not necessarily, but again, the past 4 iPhones I've owned have gotten a curve, and my pants aren't skinny or even slim; just normal slacks and straight leg jeans.

Avocados posted:The iWatch is the stupidest looking thing ever and if I owned one I could probably think of two actual uses for it. (Maps and reading messages). But I said the same thing about touch screen phones and plenty of other things and here we are. I think the iWatch is a natural thing to come from Apple, but like many first gen products its gonna be wonky. I think it's pretty nice looking, though I wear a metawatch as my daily driver and it's pretty ugly. Still, I have a small collection of pretty nice watches, but if the apple watch is as nice looking in person as it is in the promo pics, it may replace even my most formal watches for most situations (though I've been burned too many times by being an Apple early adopter so I may sit the first year out).

13 employees in my store, all with at least one device that uses lightning cables, and not a single one has had a frayed lightning cable. We've had cables go bad, but not a single one fray. However, we swap out frayed lightning cables for customers on a daily basis. We're all mostly convinced it's how people are unplugging their cables, but who really knows.

The reason 8gb are sold is because of people like my mother. She has Facebook and solitaire installed. She could care less about storage. She takes a few pics and puts them on Facebook and then they're gone. 8gb is fine for a large portion of people who own iPhones. The power users know better.

flongofthenight posted:I don't know if it helps, but I had a similar situation last year after getting the screen replaced on a 4 in Borneo. When I got back to the UK I did the "pay £120 and replace for a new phone" thing. I accidentally mentioned that it was a 3rd party repair (not knowing that was a bad thing) and the apple store guy told me to not mention that again (or I can't do the swap). Otherwise it was pretty much no questions, just pay and get the phone. This may have worked on a 4, but now Apple is going so far as to do component serial number checks, so even if the screen wasn't an obvious 3rd party part, if the serial number of the screen doesn't match up with the device, you will be denied service.

If she can prove without a shadow of a doubt that she was the original owner of the phone, Apple can circumvent the FMI lockout, but I understand that it's an extremely rare occurrence when they do and is somewhat of a hassle for the customer.

Notes is one of my top 5 used apps, and I wouldn't call it lovely at all. Your problem is that you've associated it with your work email. Can you not just copy/paste your notes over to a different account (iCloud for example)?

A few years ago, ATT just sent me a microcell for free out of the blue. They told me I was apparently in the worst 8% coverage area at the time, even though I never had any issues making calls at my house. They have since upgraded the network in the area, so the microcell has been sitting in a closet for several months.

That newApplePay unlock is buggy in the betas. That double tap the home button deal is extremely sensitive, especially in the first beta, and every time I would attempt to unlock the device, it would pop open ApplePay. It's better now but still happens regularly.

I don't know if the glass screen protectors protect that much better than traditional ones, but they sure as poo poo feel better. That's worth the price to me. On the older phones, they seemed to add a little more edge impact protection, but not so much on the 6 and 6+ since they don't go to the edge of the screen.

It's also worth pointing out that if you send the device to a data recovery center, you won't be able to send the phone back to Apple within the appropriate time frame, and you will end up paying full price for the replacement phone.

As someone who performs these repairs every day, they aren't going to hand you another phone unless they find something else wrong with the device. The cameras get replaced. Michael Scott posted:
Most likely no and definitely no. Lately I've seen a few replacements get all new warranties, but it's usually for a majorly faulty phone and after the customer raises a stink. Typically, it's either the remainder of the existing warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer.

Nut Bunnies posted:Up until a few years ago they gave customers the option to add Applecare+ on the first case of accidental damage. It would use the first case. This was when a replacement iPhone 5 was $229 instead of $269 as well. I vaguely remember a few years ago when there would be a button in GSX that would give you that option, but out store had just started handling iPhone repairs, and I think upper management told us to just ignore it for the time being. Then it just went away for the most part and the subject never came up again. It has been just in the past two months that I've seen warranty extensions. The few that I've seen were always preceded by the customer calling Apple and making a fuss. Don't remember ever seeing that happen before tho. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 05:18 on Aug 24, 2015 |

The OG iPhone was limited, even compared to my treo 650, but it was still the coolest phone on the market, and its main selling point besides it's beautiful multitouch screen was a decent web browser. That alone was worth it back in the day. My experience with the six: I preordered the 6+ within minutes of the preorder through ATT, which was the first store I got through. After a day, I was looking at a month turnaround. Release day came, and I bought a 6 from the company I work for, who obtained a few phones of random specs. I got my 6 before the store opened, thinking that my 6+ was a month away. The weekend went by and Monday morning, the 6+ shows up on my doorstep. I give my wife the 6 and everything was cool. The point is, it's unpredictable. You may order your poo poo minutes after the preorder and you don't know until you're holding it in your hand. App Store through the phone seems better than most, but that doesn't guarantee you anything. It's all in the game. Edit: a few months ago, I had to use my treo 650 for a few days, and it sucked, but at the end of the day, it did what it needed to. I got my email. I could search the web for basic poo poo. I could make calls and send texts, and the texts were chat like. It wasn't that bad. For basic functions, a pre-iPhone smart phone did its job well. I even played an old school version of madden and it was fun, as well as the NES emulator that made punch out fun again. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Anyone know when Discover is going to be supported by ApplePay? I'm running iOS 9 developer beta, and when you're on the initial splash page to set up a card, Discover is shown along with Visa, MasterCard, etc, but it still won't let me add my Discover. I know they announced that it was coming soon a few months ago, but has an exact date been announced? I'm assuming no.
