i saw a bad video and i guess the 6s+ takes like 80lbs of force or something to start bending while the 6+ takes 30lbs to start

they probably just did this because they got a better deal on the new aluminum all tim cares about it making process more efficient

prediction: big ad companies will form some sort of standard for non-poo poo ads that sites can promote so they look non-lovely but it will also be a massive data sharing exercise and will include mandatory email, text and phone # access

the other option is that it will start being genuinely non-lovely but will then slowly walk its way back to status quo

this was in the first iOS 9 beta (used two fingers i think) but they removed it to keep the functionality exclusive to the 6s. lol

it might also have been because dragging with 2 fingers on a phone screen sucks since they left it in for the ipad

I'm finding my 6s pretty needs suiting but the hugeness still feels a bit off, might be the case I got the apple leather one and it's pretty much as slippery as a naked phone anybody got a deece soft-touch case? [no silicone poo poo] [must be kawaii]

also I was pretty surprised I could just walk up and get one sunday at 5pm, I just did an "appointment" and it took fewer than 10 minutes until I was out the door.
