Can you get an AppleCare swap at 23 months if your battery capacity falls below 80% or something? That's almost a guaranteed fresh phone in two years if you're not inclined to upgrade by then.

xzzy posted:Nope.. what worked for me was getting apple's old to new adapter that has a short cable (like 4 inches) on it. Their price for the adapter is absurd but it works, just lay the phone down next to the alarm clock. If it makes you feel better about the price, that adapter has an audio DAC and circuitry to translate iPod controls jammed inside, since Lightning carries no analog audio.

Reporting on my purchase: the Monoprice $6 polycarbonate case is slim, but feels solid. Good fit and good cutouts. I think I'd prefer something with a bit of a raised lip so I could place the phone screen-down without the glass touching a table, but this thing retains that nice rounded glass feel.

William Munny posted:One of my friends has somehow managed to scratch the screen on his 6 after having it for less than a week. He's saying that he didn't have anything else in his pockets at all. He has applecare+ on it, so he should be able to pay the deductible and get a new one, but what are the chances of apple switching it out for him for free and telling him not to ask again? Wait till he blows his AppleCare on minor scratches then actually breaks it. eddiewalker fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Sep 25, 2014 |

SourKraut posted:So I have an appointment at an Applestore to (hopefully) get my iPhone 5 replaced under AppleCare+ due to the sleep/power button issue and what I think are reception issues due to a couple of drops it took. I bought a 6+ and already upgraded to it - my hope was to replace the 5 and then sell it. Is the fact I already upgraded going to have any impact on being able to replace the 5? Your warranty with Apple is separate from your cell carrier. The only caveat: if you intend to apply for a carrier unlock on your old phone, do it before you get a warranty swap to avoid extra hassle with the device ID not matching.

For three different-shaped iPhones, that's been my favorite sub-$12 slider style case. Elago promised Twitter that the 6 version is coming "soon." That "maxboost" thing is the same style, but who knows what the fit is like.

clockworx posted:I think it may have been some intermittent manufacturing issue. My wife and I each ordered one in different colors. She got a rash, and I was fine. I liked her color better, so I asked her to send mine back instead. After wearing hers for a while, suddenly I got the rash, but I never had any issues with my initial one. Not to mention, they were pretty quick to start offering refunds, and the recall program paid above MSRP. I made $50 on the deal. If that poster above still has a rash, he should probably see a doctor.

I've heard some complaints about Bluetooth on ios8/iphone6, but I'm actually pretty impressed. I have some Bluetooth devices that had sketchy range with my iPhone 4 and 4S. Like audio dropouts if I got too far away in the same bedroom. Suddenly I have solid range with the same devices a room or two away. Maybe the 5/5S were this good too, I don't know, but I'm happy.

voltron posted:I called ATT and the rep mentioned you have to be off contract for 60 days before they unlock your phone. I wasn't thrilled to hear that. AT&T has unlocked my last two iPhones within the week after my 2 years was up. They just unlocked my last one a few days after my contract was up AND a day after I ported away from AT&T. I know they're not just blindly approving every request, though --they denied me on the last day of my contract.

I just accidentally walked through a TV commercial shoot for MLB+MasterCard set to air tomorrow during the World Series tomorrow. They were using an iPhone 6 to ApplePay at a Kauffman Stadium concession stand. You think they just got lucky with iOS 8 dropping the day before the WS? ...You think the production crew scheduled their shoot based on when they could get the prop phone updated?

So updating to 8.1 flips the wifi calling setting off. I assume so you can try out Call Handoff since the two features don't work concurrently? Cool, except now wifi calling won't re-enable. Flipping the setting goes to an error page no matter what I try. I was looking forward to having wifi so calls and texts would actually work at the World Series tonight. Nope.

It would be really cool if there was a setting so wifi calling is enabled only when cellular service is unavailable. That way I could still use call handoff when I'm at home with good LTE and wifi available, without having to dig into settings to disable wifi calling. It doesn't seem that that would be difficult to implement.

Rubiks Pubes posted:So at two different places now I've tried to use Apple pay and did the touchID and it says Done but the transaction didn't work. It was like nothing else happened. Did I pull my phone away too quickly or something? One was at PetCo and the other at McDonalds. I just had one seem to go through, but show a "-" in the amount on my purchase history. The cashier said she had to hit a button to approve tap payments but her manager doesn't want them hitting that button. Awesome. She also made me swipe my card but I don't see a double, at least.

In my car I have an old Belkin 30-pin charger that has a mini-jack output and play/pause/track controls on the face of the cig lighter plug. It's a clean way to do a single wire connection tidy with a hardwire aux-in and the buttons eliminate some fumbling with the phone while driving. Does anything similar exist for Lightning or has the DAC circuitry required scared off accessory makers?

kitten smoothie posted:Seems like in a pinch you could just get a lightning to 30 pin adapter and go to town with what you've got. That's what I'm doing now and it works. The Belkin thing is starting to separate at the plug and is intermittent on cold mornings when the cable is stiff. Plus I'd like a similar setup for the second car without having to buy another $30 adapter as well.

I copy one more over and half of the albums disappear from my music app and apparently go into "other" since, at the same time, my "other" section jumps to 22GB. Tried restarting the phone and re-syncing, not sure what else to do. Make a playlist and sync that to your phone. That way you can offline-edit too. I've been using the same evolving playlist to sync iPods and phones without issue for almost a decade now.

I may be completely blind, but I remember there being a general settings page in the official Podcasts app that had a toggle for whether to use cellular data or not. I had it on, but started using too much data and now I can't find the switch. Anywhere. I've been looking for weeks. I found the "what apps can use data" page in the cellular settings and turned that off for the podcasts app, but now I'm getting constant data errors, I assume as Podcasts tries to use cellular but is stopped by the OS. Any ideas?
