yeah, this annoyed me when I got my phone replaced. Is there some way to pay and reeenable push through the mail app?
LTE is actually more efficient than 3G so you'd best turn that back on. Every browsing battery benchmark I've seen LTE lasts about 1-2 hours longer.
So my understanding is that Touch ID actually allows you to skip the Slide To Unlock, right? I mean that's unnecessary now, right?
If so, that's a much bigger revelation than skipping pass code. It's a different, but effective way to solve that problem, seeing as it was about preventing accidental unlocks on a pocket.
So you unlock your phone by simply sticking your finger on the sensor? That is, never having to press any buttons at all? Or do you gave to click first to bring up the lock screen and then scan?

The people lining up to buy iPhones on launch day just aren't the people who are going to buy the 5c, doesn't mean they won't sell. People like cheaper stuff.
If it's locked you have to click the home button to wake it up.
And prior models DID continue to sell for a long time. If nothing else it'll probably be a fairly popular Christmas gift.
Will try!
Noted!
Oh wow. Really? It never serves to disable it? Good to know!

Keep in mind, 5 bars of LTE will give you better battery life than 1-2 bars.
Got the 16GB gray one I wanted from Best Buy. Still not a huge fan of the two-color back, but it's otherwise very nice.
I'm realizing that I should be upgrading basically every year given that my parents are never going to use their upgrades and they're fungible; this ended up only costing $100 total after trading in my old phone.

What's odd is I thought that activesync deadline was actually extended - I readded it to my iPhone 5 just a week ago - but it seems not to work on the new 5s.

Any thoughts on the cases? seems less of a ripoff than the old bumpers. is it nice feeling and got nice leather smell, grippable, drop strength, etc?

What was your old phone?

I've been doing this for the past couple of days, and it seems to work all right.
I'd love to see some non marketing shots of what the texture/finish looks like on the leather cases.
I think I'm going to try out this case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A9LVC2K/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Gotta show off the gold baby.

An iphone 4. They gave me $140 for it so I ended up paying about $70 for the 5s plus I'll have to pay that $36 AT&T upgrade fee.

anandtech said it got scuffy after a week.

Wow, wish I could have sold my 4, but there was a crack in the screen unfortunately so they couldn't take it at all

Cracks in the screen are easily fixed, last time I checked.
the 5 will work, same dimension.. maybe the button cutout might not fit, but should be close.
huh? why can't you? i added gmail as an exchange account and it pushes.

So no one at my local Target this morning to sell them. My brother goes back later in the day only to find out that they never got any and don't know when they will. Pretty peeved.
Since i did online preorder I got hosed and couldn't use my phone for trade in credit. However, I will be listing on craigslist until the 14th of october. If nothing happens I will send it off to gazelle for 155. Already got the box from them.
Except if you have a 2 year you won't benefit from resigning. So you will have to pay full price.

You'd be under contract still...
Not on newer devices though. Push seems to be done unless you use the gmail app.

$300 for a used 5 is a joke, you should easily be able to sell it for that much next year.
I had ordered online from Best Buy too, but the guy was willing to cancel that order and ring it up as an in-store one such that I could use the gift card they gave me for my old phone.
i use my icloud account for things, so that wouldn't work well for me.
I was told that it would not work unless i waited 72 hours after cancelling my order. This is frustrating. They could have done it and they didn't. I will call corporate later and see if anything can be done.
that’s what happens when you double speed each year for three years. 5S should be 8 times faster than the 4…
Apple’s speed bumps between the original iphone and the iphone 4 weren’t so many. But they’ve been doubling speed every year for 3 models now.

Push works on my 5 for sure, even after completely wiping and restoring it for iOS 7, but I can't remember when they discontinued active sync support.
Doesn't work on my 5 with it set up as a Gmail account. The only options are Fetch and Manual.

Ended up ordering mine over the phone through Verizon, because I got a 5 a week before the massive "New iPhone to be Announced Sept 10!!!" rumors and I returned it, only for the douche at the Verizon store to apparently not report it as "returned", making me ineligible for an upgrade because already "got" an upgrade that I didn't even have.
I should have mine "no later" than Oct 7, in the color I wanted. Wish I had it sooner but I can live by with my cracked-ass 4 for another ~2 weeks.

It wont when you are done with that phone.
It works on my 5 now (with gmail set up as Exchange) but it wont work for anyone trying to do it now or if you get a new phone.
From my messing around with a 5 & a 5s side by side, iOS7 is not even making this thing break a sweat. Can't wait till we see some apps made with it in mind.

So it's tied to the device even if you wipe it and restore? If I bought a 5S, restored it from my iCloud backup, push through exchange wouldn't work because it's a new device?
