I've used mobile phones "naked" for like a decade now but I'm going to get a case for my 6. I like it, but it feels like it has the perfect amount of slipperiness and size to go flying out of my hand at some inopportune time.

RhoA posted:Is it the new design/material of the phone that makes it feel that way or is it the size that makes it feel less secure? I don't use a case on my phones either, so having to make that change will be interesting. A bit of both, for me, but primarily the latter. The center of gravity for the 6 is much higher in my palm than the 5s, so it feels much less secure in my hand.

Xenomorph posted:People keep saying the older devices lack hardware, but no hardware is required for Apple Pay support in apps. To use Apple Pay at card readers and online, you need both NFC and the secure element. Which the 6 and 6+ have. To use Apple Pay online ONLY, you need the secure element. Which those iPads have. Because the 5s has neither, it can't use Apple Pay until the Watch comes out, which will have both of those and can be sort of tethered to it. (I think this is right, correct me if I'm wrong.)

Candy Dawn posted:I don't know about the iPhone's but I was dumb and upgraded my iPad 2 and Safari has become unbearable, I wish I never upgraded. I wish I could downgrade. Yeah, my 3 wasn't much more useful with 8 than 7, and it definitely was slower. One thing you should try is to go to settings -> general -> accessibility -> increase contrast and turn on reduce transparency. It helps.

noirstronaut posted:I could be wrong, but I think Apple Pay just works anywhere with NFC. Lots of places here never jumped on board, but a lot of places in the city (even smaller ones) utilize it out the rear end in a top hat. No, it should, but some spiteful retailers and restaurants have the ability to take Apple Pay but turned it off. It's annoying.

Keystoned posted:Are there any tips to getting the finger sensor to reliably work? At least 1/2 the time it doesnt recognize my thumb scan and frequently it misses it multiple times so i end up having to input my passcode. It should be fine now. There were minor problems back when the 5s was released but for me at least, TouchID has been pretty bulletproof since. When you're getting the prints set up, make sure you're following the directions carefully. The first round should be basically you aligning the middle of your thumb with the middle of the sensor and lifting it up and down a few times. The second round is where TouchID gets the edges... so you'll align the left-middle of your print, right-middle of your print, top-middle of your print, and so on. I suspect this is where your problem is going to be, but it's a lot easier to show than tell. Still, good luck!

enojy posted:Was able to have my display replaced today (that just randomly stopped working last night) in about an hour under warranty. A blessing in disguise, really, since my original screen had a nasty uneven top fourth when rendering darker scenes in videos and images. The new one has it slightly towards the bottom, but it's absolutely agreeable compared to what it was like before. Did they tell you what was wrong with it?

It’s too bad there aren’t any amazing trade-in deals this time around. Going from the 6 to 7 was absurdly cheap, at least if you took advantage of the T Mobile launch deal, but I haven’t seen anything as remotely good right now. Best I’ve seen is $300 for the 7.

I don't know if this still works, since the last time I had to do it was on a 5s, but if you mount the phone as a drive with a USB cable, you can poke around and find all the MP3s. They will be completely disorganized and albums will be confusingly split across unrelated directories, but if you copy everything over to your PC, whatever you use to import them back SHOULD rearrange everything properly again based on metadata.

Please check my math on this because I'm actually not sure-- 1280 x 720 (720p) = 922k pixels 1792 x 828 (XR) = 1,484k pixels 1920 x 1080 (1080p) = 2,074k pixels Which puts it just slightly closer to 720p than 1080p, but to say it's just a 720p screen is nuts, as you're getting 60% more pixels. ...Though I suppose it's true that if you love your 1080p video you would rather not watch it on an XR. I watch minimal video (and when I do, it's not 1080p) so not too big a deal for me.
