Apple iPhone 6 [OT]
- Thread starter OriginalThinking
- Start date
I'm guessing you'd know if you tried it!
It means "Say Nazi."
All previous iPhones only accepted 1A.
I feel like my 5S charges a little bit faster using my 12W versus my 5W charger.
Nah, nah, definitely still getting the phone. 6 Plus. Just in silver instead of gold this time.

Yeah but PMIC's have improved. In some industrial chargers the ILIM is increased upwards of 4A.
I'm saying that Apple has chosen to some how lock it at 1A.
Yeah but something tells me that Apple doesn't want you to spend 3-4hours charging your phone... at least I hope?
Yes I agree, hopefully they don't do this for the 6s.
I tried dialing *611 but nothing is going through.
Edit* Damn it worked and was able to call but my order is on backorder yo....

Yes. If there is a EEPROM on the PMIC, then they could probably program it. But since it's an apple, it would be a custom part with a 1A channel of so.
If I wasn't at an outdoor concert I could research and get a better answer.
If the rumors are true that they had to scrap the 2amp wall charger at the last minute because it wasn't ready then they probably wouldn't change the internals of the 6 Plus to restrict it to only allow 1amp.

Yeah, just qualifying the device at the manufacturing site and getting through the PG process can take almost a year depending on the process/design complexity. It's far easier to have a wall charger backup plan than have a PCB board with 2 circuit placements. In fact, it's highly unlike because with the newer wafer scale chip packages on these chips you have to follow very close layout rules.
So it didn't even give you an estimate?
Haha.
I can't decide either, im leaning gold if only because it was the more exclusive 5s colour.
I think the new iphones will surprise people when they get to see it up close.
the edges of the phone are curved now after 4 years of straight edged phones. But its not chunky like it was in the iphone 3 days. its slimmer again and its going to be nice to hold with that little bit of curve.

See the color thing doesn't matter much to me minus the face of the phone. I put a full case on mine.

So my Apple.ca estimate is good as gold right? As in when they say 3 weeks, it ain't changing?

Gold 5S looks great because it had the white stripe at the top and bottom. It stops the phone from looking too tacky. The two tone approach helps stop the champagne color from being too overpowering.
The iPhone 6 on the other hand, it's completely gold, and that's just a bit too much for me I think. If it still had the completely white parts at the top and bottom I'd jump on it.
Ah I see. I didn't get the Gold 5s so I never noticed it had the white stripes. It does look different without them.
All I've seen are the renders online, so I hope it comes out looking great in person. And I'd buy a green iPhone 6 in a heartbeat if they were available.
I didn't know what SS was either but on the phone, it asked me what my account billing password was so i punched that in. I don't remember what numbers i pressed but i picked the option that said something about tracking information. That gave me a tracking number to punch into fedex and fedex gave me a ship date. I called again and pressed the option to have an email sent to me with the same information.
Did you go for the iPhone 6 or the 6 Plus?
I expect month-out estimates for the iPhone 6 will wind up being two or three weeks at the most.

Agh. Where are my ios 8 optimized apps? I updated and want them now!
You updated to the GM too early. They should be out next week.

apple ones or in general? I'd imagine many will be dealing with the 6plus transition in the coming months.
Golden 128GB Iphone 6+
Item Status shows: Preparing for ship but it's still showing the November estimate release.
its the curve screen that has me iffy.
the 'safe sides' of accidental drops is drastically decreased from before.
And i've got quite a few chips on the front corners of my iphone 5 which would definitely game over the phone screens.
hmmmm
Got through, got to the last step with my order # and it just wants to transfer me to a customer service associate :/

Yep. 64 GB Silver from Apple's website. Currently in the "Preparing for Shipping" stage.
I'm getting a Space Gray iPhone 6+ at launch.

Case and Protector I ordered for my iPhone 6+
Is this overkill? Thoughts? I have a Spigen case on my Nexus 5 currently (just sold it) and I feel like it's a great case, but I believe this is a little different. Wish there was a video.

Always use a case
I haven't ever used a case and don't intend to start now.
I've always gone caseless, too.

I'm referring to 3rd party apps/widgets. I want my SWYPE among other things.

Chose my 6 Plus case and it's en route to my house. It's a clear flexible silicon case from Spigen.
That's basically the type of case that I rocked on my 4S. It's the best for me because it still shows off the color and style of the phone itself (Silver, btw!), while still protecting it. Props to those who like to personalize their phone with a unique case, but I like something that shows off Apple's design.
And soft shell cases > hard cases, IMO. They don't scratch, and absorb shocks easily. The only downside is that they yellow... and Spigen claims this one has an anti-yellowing design. We'll see!

Anybody coming from Android getting this? Debating whether to make the switch with android L close to release, not sure how much I'd miss it.
Link to item? I have gone the clear route for my iphones as well just to see the metallic apple logo.

Guys someone talk me out of getting a Plus over a normal 6. It's really tempting but man what if it's too big?
You have 14 days to try it out.
If you don't like it after 10, take it back and get a 4.7".

The reason I went with the 6+ over the 6 is mainly because it may fundamentally change how I use my phone day to day.
- More likely to want to fill it with video content for viewing on the go
- More likely to want to read on it
- More likely to play meatier games on it
- Better web browsing experience
...all of these seem to really cater to this new brick of a 6+.
4.7 is bigger, but not so much so that it would really change the way I use my phone. At least I don't think it would be.
I'm willing to give the + a shot and always think that I could return it within a couple weeks if it doesn't work out.

I guess Spigen Canada is shipping now, but American one is a little behind..
