Squished image on the side of the tank, screens were off.Well props to the guy doing the video then - I can't see how he faked it so well.
edit: of course there's always CGI

but you see, how its a shallow tray, and how they just sat with almost no movement.
but this doesn't tell you the phone is waterproof or even water resistant. it only says it didn't short out this time. it only takes one time then you've got a dead phone. like i said, you could do this with a lot of things. water resistance is different. if he had plugged in headphones or touched a button underwater it probably would have fried immediately. a rain test is more realistic.
anyways if the thing was water resistant Apple would have been screaming about it in their marketing and i cant believe this keeps coming up every year. and i am one that really hopes they do add some real water resistance. but this ain't it.
edit - and of course you can see the reflection. screen seems off. so there you go. kid is an asshole.

I saw a video of the regular ip6 beating the GS6 in multitasking.
I'm on my phone, but I think this is it:

Wow I expected S6 to do better because Samsung is using the next gen mobile storage. Unless Apple is also onboard?

Hey Siri was only usable when you were connected to a power source until the 6s, so it literally is a battery hog.

You mean ram or flash? I'm not sure how flash storage would help multitasking, if that's what you meant.
Random read performance when loading apps in storage.
It was a battery hog, they changed the hardware with the 6S and with the M9 is integrated into the A9 it's a pretty nominal battery hit.

Ok. I'm getting fucking annoyed. Can someone tell me if any of this makes sense?
I tried getting my iPhone again last night. But I was already in the process of dissolving my family plan so I went to the Verizon store first to get my own plan.
I roll up in the Apple Store with my own plan, everything is going okay, Verizon randomly calls me for verification while my sales rep was talking to someone else on the phone. The Verizon rep approves me and I already get the iPhone loan charge on my card.
Then all of a sudden my rep grabs the iPhone and leaves for a while.
Like a long while.
He finally comes back and tells me he can't give me the iPhones because theres a three day hold on my account since it's technically a 'new account'.
Even though the line has been with Verizon for...6 years.
Is this right? I was so annoyed that I was gonna blow up on the Verizon rep in the store but he was just an old dude. I spent like 4 hours at the Apple store....

What's the trick with Live Photos can't seem to get it to play when I 3D Touch a photo I took
Post your usage screen.
I was estimating %. It's actually 27%. Not that it makes it any better. I was hoping for 9-10 hours like I've read about.
You have to do a firm press.

You have to 3D Touch them in the Photos app and hold it down for the length of the Live Photo.
Didn't you say you were using it for multiple hours browsing and then Netflix while on 3G?
Scroll up and show the top used apps, the 1%ers aren't very helpful.
1 Netflix tv show episode and some gaf yes.
Is that normal? I'm sure my 5S had similar battery on release.
Lol I was showing my hours. Not really accurate since I charged it over night and the usage includes the apps before that.
Mobile usage is a huge battery killer.

One little thing I like is there's a quick Handoff link to the Music app on the lock screen when I plug headphones in.
Safari and music/video streaming kill the battery hard so seeing those usage numbers is probably the most important thing. Not as bad as 3D games (and poorly optimized third party apps) but still pretty bad. Especially on network.
Even the web pages load a bit faster. It's probably crazy fast with a content blocker.

so what you guy are saying is that

Ah ok. So it's standard for the plus? I was expecting more but maybe with more moderate use it'll be good.

I meant the flash storage, the new UFS in S6 was supposed to be like the move from HDD to SSD.
You're in San Antonio? I got the 6S, and the improvement is VERY noticeable. In my house, everyone else gets 2 bars of Edge, whereas my iPhone 6S it's 3 bars of LTE. The difference is insane.
The 6 was already up there.

Anyone ever unlocked an iPhone on T-Mobile? Made the switch to VZW, her phone won't work, and she's pissed.
Is the phone paid off? They'll unlock it if it's paid off, if it isn't they'll unlock it and put you on a payment plan to pay it off per John Legere.

It's paid off and I put the request in through customer service; STILL haven't received authorization. Refreshing my email like crazy in the meantime.

It's different - Samsung and other Android makers utilize tech that allows it to charge to a specified percentage really quickly, then top the rest off slower. Like 50% in 15 minutes or whatever. The 6 and 6 Plus just have the ability to accept a 2.0 A charger (iPad charger or many third party chargers) and generally charge nearly as quickly to a full charge.
It's really very quick, imo. Just make sure to get a 2 A charger.

What magic storage is Apple using to get that kind of read/writer speeds?!!

jesus, it's awful the original 6/6+ was only 1gb. DAMN YOU USELESS RELIC.

You pay tax on your first payment, which is billed 3 days AFTER you receive the phone.
So my initial payment on my 64gb 6s was about 95$ (35.68 first month + 7% NJ Sales Tax).
