My 6S Plus won't be here for a couple weeks, but I want to figure out a case before it arrives. I have a Diztronic TPU case on my 6. I just want something slim, something that won't easily get stained, and something will keep my lens/screen from touching when I set the phone down.

Do you like your current case? If so, that kind.

 

[bionic77]

Anyone else having issues with activation via AT&T?

Is there anything I have to do? Before it was just automatic...

 

[Kaisersalsek]

I'm not gonna lie, I love this phone. Gone from 4s to 6s, it feels like I've finally entered the 21st century.

 

[Scarphace]

I'm sorry but that really just made my day lol. If I knew I was expecting something , I know sure as hell I'd be out to give him the heads up I'm here.

The lady called me and said the package was never on the truck and I won't be able to pick it up until Monday

 

[Ensirius]

Do you have to turn on Live Photos and where do you do that?

On the camera app tap the circle thing to enable.

 

[Kaisersalsek]

For everyone who wants 3D Touch firmer or softer: there is a setting for this in the accessibility settings!

I love this phone!

Thank you for this, I was finding the medium too hard - soft works a treat for me :-D

 

[Lord Error]

Mine was really hot too while transfering everything over to it and setting stuff up. It has been cool ever since I finished all that stuff though.

Can you try putting the phone on max brightness, disable auto brightness, and start scrolling through some gaf multi-page threads that have lots of screenshots and anim gifs. As soon as the images load, keep scrolling, then going to the next page, images load, keep scrolling etc. Do this just for about two minutes and see if the phone gets warm? Also please note if the brightness gets dimmer on its own, which it will if the phone gets hot enough.

UPS is taunting me. Deliveries always come before 11am... it's 2:13pm...

 

[dodgeme]

Mine was here at 9am this morning. UPS didn't do me wrong this time around.

 

[Roberto Duran]

Got my new iPhone . God, this thing is fast.

 

[exmachina64]

Still waiting.

Hurry up, UPS!

 

[Akira]

Has anyone used the Move to iOS app on their Android yet? How did the transfer go? Does it transfer apps? Not sure if I want to do that.

 

[RDreamer]

My iPhone arrived at my house!

Unfortunately I am 1400 miles from my house

I noticed no heat issues with the 6S Plus yesterday, as my friend didn't transfer any apps or music just contacts via iCloud. Really sounds like indexing.

 

[WordAssassin]

Shouldn't have to do this; if you want to add more and more angles just go in to the settings screen for touchID and without doing anything else put your finger on the reader, you'll see that finger "flash" on the settings screen and the angle/etc. you used is added to that fingers database.

Dude you just changed my life, just added a ton of new angles and now Touch ID works so much better on my 6+ omg (not that it didn't work in the first place but now it's like crazy good). Thank youuuuuu.

 

[RastaMentality]

My sister says she's not able to press in for peek on the messages app icon. Is there a way to enable this?

 

[Kibbles]

So got my new 6s and activated it on att site, says it coudl take up to 2 hours to do it. But the service is already gone from my old phone.....

Yeah I played around a bit then rebooted the phone and when it booted back up it had service.

it tells you to do that! yeah it works really well.

 

[robotrock]

With how fast Touch ID now is I really hate that Apple did not include it in the iPad Pro. I hate how slow and unreliable Touch ID on my Air 2 is compared to the 6S.

I think Touch ID is on the iPad pro

 

[Scarphace]

Reading the UPS delivery stories remind me why I tell everybody to have time sensitive items held at a UPS service center so you pick it up at your own convenience.

I've learned my lesson, definitely will do when the 7 comes out

 

[empyrean]

Man iPhone 6s Plus Adblock fast is lightning browsing neogaf. So much quicker than even my laptop!

 

[Incitemaybe]

Does the 6s+ have a significantly better battery life than the 6s regular size?

 

[exmachina64]

Does the 6s+ have a significantly better battery life than the 6s regular size?

Yes.

Edit: 1715 mAh vs 2765 mAh

 

[sk3]

I was hoping there would be some haptic feedback to go along with force touch, but it seems like it just vibrates the phone. You can kind of tell the vibration comes from some motor near the bottom of the phone.

I really despise the UX patterns of hidden functionality that come along with force touch, I will probably just ignore it for most apps, kind of like Siri.

 

[Barzul]

On the camera app tap the circle thing to enable.

Thanks!

 

[subrock]

with normal use, I usually end the day with ~50% battery on my 6+. Really it's the only reason I went +.

Maybe not a good thing to talk about?

My phone arrived today..very happy that the Apple Leather case still fits the thicker size.

 

[Serick]

Can you white list stuff with Purify?

 

[ZeroX03]

Can you white list stuff with Purify?

Yes. Use the share button, hit more options and whitelisting is in there.

Also hold down the refresh button to reload pages without content blocking.

Sweet thank you, I'm sure it's been answered before but I didn't want to search through thousands of posts >_>.

Neogaf is literally the only site I whitelist but wanted to make sure I could do it before I spent $4 on it.

 

[gruenel]

Holy shit. How long has "request desktop site" been there?

 

[Leona Lewis]

Anyone else's phone still "Restoring from iCloud backup" after 4+ hours?

It looks like everything's already long been downloaded, so I'm a bit worried because I can't update the firmware until the restore is complete...

Also, my iPhone 4S has been stuck on the same screen (Apple logo with a bar under it that's maybe supposed to indicate something) ever since I did the "Erase All Content" thing. No idea what's going on, and I need to have this shipped to Amazon soon.

Anxiety double-whammy.

 

[darkazcura]

In general the phone has been pretty great. 6S Plus over here. I'm seeing very slight stuttering going from one home screen to another.

3D Touch has been amazing, though! Every app so far has been perfect with it except the Messages app..when I peek on a thread and pull up to do the quick reply, there is massive amounts of stuttering. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[jaydogg691]

UPS is taunting me. Deliveries always come before 11am... it's 2:13pm...

This.

I remember getting stuff early in the morning too, according to the UPS time frame given the latest it would be here is at 3. I was looking at The My UPS options and there's an option to pay to get packages within a 2 hour time frame. Shit. Waiting for this phone has already taken a chunk of my day.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

Damn it, UPS> Hurry up

 

[TylerD]

Not much to dislike about the 6s+ after my 3 hours with it. It's a huge iPhone but not unwieldy IMO and the touch ID is super fast. That's a pleasure to use. I wish there were some even lighter settings for 3D touch than what is available but its a really nice experience. I'm very happy with it.

 

[kaskade]

So how is everyone who upgraded from the 6 to 6s+ feeling? Just curious how the increase in screen size feels. I really like the feeling of the 6 in terms of the size but I want that screen real estate.

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Are there any Ingress players here that can comment on battery life on either 6 or 6s? How's it holding up during gameplay?

 

[Lima]

I think Touch ID is on the iPad pro

Yeah but the last gen version.

It's all about that 1080p/60fps Touch ID now.

 

[Erebus]

How are the notification vibrations coming from the Taptic engine? Are they stronger than say iPhone 6?

 

[Valus]

Stupid question everyone...how do I activate the phone? I've never done this myself and have always had it done at the store. I did not switch carriers, I just want my service to transfer to the new phone.

 

[Sir Abacus]

Yes and yes.

If they didn't activate the included SIM to the carrier's line? Take the SIM out of the old phone, put in new phone.

But first just fire the phone up. If it came from a carrier it'll automatically activate and switch the service over.

Make sure you have a valid sim card in the phone and connect to iTunes on a computer.

 

[S¡mon]

Fun reading all the hands-on experiences! Going to try to get a 6S or 6S+ (still undecided :\) tomorrow... no reservation.

 

[toohectic]

How is it known what generation of Touch ID is going to be in the upcoming iPad Pro? They don't label the Touch ID version on the spec sheets.

I currently have a Lumia 1020 and now got the 6S+. I fired up the phone and I went through the setup, but it didn't ask for service info or automatically transfer it over. I made an apple account and stuff (first time iPhone user) and now the iPhone sits at the home screen and stuff, but says no service at the top.

It doesn't sound like I need to replace the SIM card as you mentioned, but I'm not sure what I did wrong?

You're not the first one to say the same thing. I hope it's the phone doing some initial background task like indexing or whatever.

 

[Doosi]

For those who are hesitating
6s+ is godly

Who is your cell carrier and is the phone unlocked? Carrier specific phones usually have the settings in place for you to just pop the sim and get service. If it's unlocked, you can connect your phone to a computer and get carrier settings through iTunes.
