The rose gold is looking to already be the "hard to find" iPhone. Seems to be back ordered at multiple carriers (mid to late August depending on the model).

Phew. Space Grey supremacy (bring back the true black :( ).

Is the iPhone 6 prone to terrible antenna's coming with it? My girlfriend picked it up last month and it's had weak connections to both the WiFi in her house (even sitting right beside the router) and the cell service (taking forever to connect to Spotify, texts not being received until much later (tested this by sending a text and it didn't arrive for 20 minutes - we even had our phone right beside each others and I took a pic with her sisters showing nothing sent)).

We took it to Apple and the guy was hemming and hawing that it could be anything but I made sure to eliminate whatever I could: case / no case, environment (I bought a WiFi range extender, not for this, but to help in general and it still wasn't good), resetting the phone. Her 5 never had these issues nor does my 5S at her house. We are on different carriers but I messaged my friend and he wasn't having issues with his.

Unsure where to go with this right now - I was reading about others having issues with their 6 and poor reception. I might first try getting a new SIM but if it's loving up WiFi that won't fix it.

This is the glass screen protector I use as I saw a co-worker who had it and it feels like it just belongs. Looks great on there too and it's good added protection.

Google Music crushes all when it comes to variety and deeper cuts. Unless Apple has changed up their algorithms for the stuff - I ain't going back.

Speaking of bluetooth speakers. I notice mine sometimes stutters and disconnects at random. Is that on the iPhone or the speaker itself?

It's just that which I got for $100. It sounds perfectly fine and loud otherwise but I hate when it gets spotty.

It feels like the sensor that turns the screen off when near to your face is ultra sensitive after updating. The same movements I’ve always done like when pressing back at the top left turn the screen off.’its ultra annoying.

Do you need your Apple ID when restoring from an encrypted backup?

The reason I ask is that my gf upgraded her phone and at the Telus store (:canada:) the guy took an encrypted backup with the simple "password" as the password for it. This seems sketchy as hell and any employee can just restore peoples phones to sift thru their poo poo. I bought this up and the guy was like, "we delete these since the drives are very small". That seemed sketch as hell too!

Based off this: https://www.top-password.com/blog/restore-iphone-from-encrypted-itunes-backup/

You just enter the password and bam, done. If it seems sketchy to you all too I feel like I need to make a call.

I submitted the issue to Telus and they are taking it very seriously now. :3: It's not policy to be doing what they do at that store.

After thinking on it on and off in the evening. And even jumping to Android I’m just gonna wait another year with my 7+. It takes great photos, still very fast and my battery is at 90% efficiency according to this thing.

It’ll let me save more too for whatever monstrosity comes out next year.

And yeah, hopefully the notch is gone too.

OK, I’ll just get one then to use in the car. Because while I have a tray to use the phone with a six inch lightning cable for Car Play (Sony unit being delivered Tues) testing has shown the leather case flies off into the passenger side foot well when you even *think* about turning left.

I may end up getting a slightly longer cable and using the cup holder (which I don’t want to, but if it works)

I've had a white one and believe it or not - it's still nearly pristine after a full year of use. The bottom corners has the white stuff peeling a bit but otherwise it's great and not sticky at all.

I'd recommend getting it!

E: pics







I didn't bother wiping it to show how it can get after being in a pocket. That all wipes off easily though. I am surprised a white case remained this clean - this thing repels dirt!

Hi all, selling the XS Max is harder than any other phone. Thank you for tuning in.

How muchhhh?

E: Found the thread. Hmm, since its unlocked it should work up here in Canada if I pop a Rogers SIM in it, eh? I can prob pick it up at the border too so shipping is fine.

I'll see what I can do.
