Apple iPhone 6 [OT]

It wasn't that bad
The answer is iOS, I know it's fashionable to hate on iOS but it's the gold standard IMO. I still love it after all these years.

Had a 64 iPhone 6 Space Grey on reserve at the Apple Store - got tired of waiting for my gold Plus which is 3-4 weeks delivery.
Rolled in, played with both the plus and the regular and going with a plus is a no brainer, it is longer by the width of one finger compared to my work blackberry z30 which I have no problem carrying around daily. Cancelled my reservation.
My hunting shall continue...still don't know what color to go with, I am more impressed with the gold right now.

She has to login to iCloud and do something to unregister her old device. It's a kinda involved process when you don't have your old iPhone anymore.
And yes, no matter what your dad does to get it to work between them, until she fixes it all other iPhones are going to think she has iMessage.

The Holy Grail of phones.
They will all work beautifully together once Yosemite launches. Continuity is the feature I'm most looking forward to, being able to text and answer calls on the mac is going to be so useful. If you've already got a mac and iPad it would be a no brainer to get an iPhone.

How many rows of icons fit on on the home screens of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus? Is it the same for both? And is it 5 or 6 rows?
Including the dock it's 7. Same for both phones unless you're in zoomed mode where it's 6.
If you still have the 4, go back to it and turn off iMessage. If not, contact apple support with her Apple ID and they will disable it for you.

apple lawyers must have got to them or something is up.
It has to be seen in person and held to appreciate it, it doesn't look so hot in shots but in person it's a beaut. The slim profile and the curved design (both cassis and screen that meld into each other) are so nice when you're actually using it. I still don't like the camera protrusion, but surprisingly the bands on the space grey one doesn't look bad IMO, it actually looks decent.
They are mistaken. For starters, again, every single Verizon LTE phone is unlocked out of the box. That test was completely pointless. This was a requirement when Verizon purchased the spectrum. Further, if you pay full price at the apple store, the phones also come unlocked (Except for Sprint). Doesn't matter what pile it is supposedly from

Dang, so I saw a Gold iPhone 6 and I have to tell you want the gold now. I wonder if the 6Plus still looks good.
I don't get why landscape mode is only for the 6+. I tried out the CNN app and they have a landscape two pane mode for the 6 and it worked great. There's enough screen real estate on the 6 to do it effectively (just shrunk a little vs the 6+). I hope Apple add it to the 6 eventually with a software update.

On the site they also sell small waterproof bags, but I don't know if you'd want to use that as a solution
Hmm, I think I would still prefer that over an armband. Seems like I could do more varied workouts since my shorts don't have pockets. wearing an armband or holding the phone while lifting is so silly.
Well darn, I want one of these now.
I always stress about what to do with my phone when working out.
Can CDMA phones work on GSM networks?
No, thanks. Gotocha. What about the 1x thing? Just as a reminder, when i hang up it quickly shows 1x and then goes up to LTE, is that just a network (or data) reset when you get off a call? Just new to the network and curious.
With the iPhone 6 and 6+, Verizon now supports simultaneous talk and data. Just need to go into your account settings and activate it. http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/19/verizon-volte-now-enabled/

So I recorded a video on my iPhone 6 today and uploaded it to Facebook via AT&T LTE. I looked at it later and for some reason the video looked like garbage. I don't mean like not 1080p garbage, I mean like it could easily be mistaken for a 480p video.
So I thought, well that must be ATT being idiots and limiting my upload via LTE. So I re-uploaded to Facebook again via my home wi-fi. Looks just as bad as it did earlier on LTE.
What the hell is going on here?

Torn between the regular 6 and the 6+. On the one hand I like being able to hold my phone comfortably in one hand. Using it whilst going running would be easier for example, and fitting it into a tight pocket would not be an issue with the 4.7'.
On the other hand, I want that 1080p screen and longer battery life (really important to me), and having a larger screen might make me ditch my iPad 3.
Gah! Why did they have to give us choices?

Settings -> Facebook -> Upload HD.
No however the iPhone 6 has both CDMA and GSM. So buying the iPhone 6 from Verizon is probably the easiest as they come unlocked right out of the box. In fact, I am currently using a Verizon iPhone 6 on AT&T. All I had to do was get a micro sim from AT&T (which is free)
AT&T will unlock if you call them but they may give you some BS about waiting 30 days. T-Mobile will unlock too if you ask but I think their version of the iPhone is GSM only so it wouldn't work on Verizon (It was true with the 5s, not sure about the 6) Sprint will not unlock the iPhone
1x is what Verizon used to call Edge which is 2G. It's just the network reconnecting. Verizon does support LTE calling now but you have to enable it. Thankfully it's free. You can do it online.
Highest I got on Bell here in Canada with full bars was 66.36Mb down and 26.83Mb up. Really great numbers, never got anywhere close to that with the 5. Obviously you'll never hit the theoretical 150Mb/s that the LTE chip can do, but that result is pretty great. Would love to see what it's like with some US carriers with full bars.

So I went to the Apple Store yesterday because I had to get my dad's iPhone 5 serviced and when I was pulling up, there was a fucking line. I went through the backdoor so avoid the line and sure enough, the employees there were asking you what you were coming in for.
Anyways, after they gave me a replacement phone, I checked out the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and I'm completely satisfied with my 6 Plus decision. It feels so awesome in my hand. It is huge, but I don't think that'll prevent me from using my phone. Hell, the iPhone 5 took some getting used to with it's 4" screen, don't see why the 5.5" will be a problem. I also bought a Galaxy S5 temporarily and loved the size of the screen, so the 6 Plus will be perfect for me.

Where would I find these options? I just searched the website and my phone app and see nothing related to video upload quality.
Wow I have 3 out of 5 bars with ATT and I am getting 6.65 down and .60 upload... hella slow yo WTF ATT!?

I'm getting about 18MBPS down and 7 up. 3 bars
On wifi I'm basically maxing out at 99.6MBPS down and 5 up.
Phone settings, scroll down to the apps section. Select facebook, then 'settings' inside there

Wondering this also. If I buy a Verizon off contract version and just throw my At&t sim in do I have to do anything else?
On my wifi (Comcast Blast cable internet) I get 124mbps down and 9 mbps down. I was expecting 4G LTE to be atleast half the speed of this...
