Apparently the 6+ is selling out faster than than the 6.

Now I'm not sure if this means they made a lot fewer or misjudged sales or what but it's interesting.

I'm looking forward to iPhone 10, the cube phone. 5 screens. 2 hour battery life.

The first few generations actually looked nice after being worn but id be hesitant without a case nowadays...

Has anyone gone caseless?

I've owned every iPhone and the last case I had was for the 3G that I stopped using a month in. I've dropped them all a million times and never cracked a screen or back cover. There are dents and scratches on them but I don't care since I've never sold one either. I just pass them down to the kids.

But I always buy AppleCare plus.

You are correct. The big thing with Applecare Plus is the accidental coverage but people tend to forget it also gives you a full two years of the regular warranty too.

Yup. This is important also.

When I went in to the Verizon store to pre order my 6, the 16GB in all colors had already slipped 2+ weeks -- everything else was still available. Obviously the average consumer doesn't give a crap about the storage increase on the other models, but folks with too much time on their hands like to feed into the perpetual outrage machine.


See also: bitching about the U2 album. I guarantee that 99% of iPhone users don't care as they're not obsessing over every detail of their cell phone.

They have forced me to break my steadfast rule of having nothing post 1990 by U2 on my phone temporarily. And for this, they must be admonished.

Just learned that the 6 is just a shade too tall for the spot my phone used to go in my car. I'll adapt I suppose. :v:

Pro Clip are really great solutions for this. I was in a rental for a week or so and missed mine so badly.

If you aren't already familiar with them, they come in two pieces; one for your specific car and one for your specific phone. If you replace one or the other, you only buy the piece you need.

They take less than 5 minutes to install with no tools. They have sales all the time too, usually around every holiday, minor or major.

I've been having a problem with my Verizon 6 where it will just lose service. It will show 2-3 bars, but be unable to go online for anything. This has even happened at home with it on my wifi. I've reset network settings and all that... do you guys think I should take it back to Verizon or take it to an Apple store to get it replaced? Power cycling the phone solves the issue but it's happened about once a day since Friday.

My wife's 6 is having similar problems. It won't connect to the Internet over cellular and won't connect to LTE at all. Taking it to Apple in 2 hours.

Please let us know what they do. I'm on the phone with VZW now and he said VZW stores won't have any replacements to give since they're all on backorder. I seem to recall someone here mentioning that Apple stores keep a supply on hand for this type of swap out though.

They confirmed that it's a hardware issue and they're bringing me a new phone right now.

It looks like it's designed to press the phone into the hanging canvas, so I assume that they can emulate the pressure of any pair of jeans, from the baggiest Jyncos to the tightest leather assless chaps (do not put your iPhone in the pocket of your tightest leather assless chaps, goons).

Has anyone noticed that they no longer get a download progress circle on the home screen when they're installing apps after installing iOS 8? There used to be a circle that appeared over the app icon when you started downloading it, and when it was about 80% full the icon label would change from "Loading..." to "Installing..." Now it just sits at "Waiting..." with no progress circle the whole time it's downloading, then when it starts installing the circle appears and immediately goes to "Installing..."

Happens to me too.

Honestly, there is no good reason why the default mail app doesn't support push Gmail. For whatever reason, it is missing IMAP IDLE (which is what every other mail client uses to push Gmail unless you are using Exchange). My loving Palm 755P had IMAP IDLE 7-8 years ago... Seems like its a middle finger to Google, plain and simple.

You've got it backwards. Mail is capable of pushing gmail but Google won't allow it without whatever that call they're paid account. We all had it and then Google gave us the middle finger.

Yeah, they had no way of knowing who had a legit liquid damage case, versus who had an improperly triggered liquid indicator and had to pay out of warranty but shouldn't have.

So if you paid an out of warranty replacement fee for liquid damage at all during that timeframe, then you got money back.

Thanks. I'm not sure I'd have ever figured that out on my own.

I've tended to get the bodies scratched up quite a bit, which is why I'm going with an ultra-thin, clear case for my 6+, but also keep my phone alone in a front pocket, so I've never scratched the screen. I think I scratched my 4 a few months before I upgraded, but since they switched to Gorilla Glass, my 5's screen has been perfect since I got it.

It's been gorilla glass since day one.

I'm looking for a very specific type of phone mount. I currently use this SCOSCHE mount and while it does everything I want it to do, I realized that I do not like using a case on my phone. I also don't like sticking that magnet like thing onto the back of my phone. Therefore, I'm in search of a mount that has a "sticky" backing, like the SCOSCHE, but doesn't require a magnet. I've had bad experiences with vent mounts (broke off a few vent tabs), so it has to be a sticky backing. Any ideas?

It should be in the OP.

Pro clips. Best mount there is. You buy 2 pieces; one made for your phone, one fitted to your specific vehicle.

Hey all, I have an old iPhone4 I want to give to my 7 year old to use as an iPod and such and would love for him to have a data connection and am considering adding him to our group plan since it's so cheap to do so. Can you disable the phone portion of the iPhone either through traditional means or jailbreaking? We want to lock the phone down as much as possible and don't see the need for our 7 year old to have a cell phone at this age but being able to stream music and videos would be great in our opinion.

Appreciate any insight offered.

Just connect his phone to your hotspot and he always has data.
