Is it true that there aren't dedicated 6S cases, and that I can and should just use cases for the 6? I found an Apple leather case for 50% off at Rogers and it seems to fit. A little snug for sure though.

 

[samn]

edit - and of course you can see the reflection. screen seems off. so there you go. kid is an asshole.

Watch for the start of the video when the phones are placed in. You can clearly see the phone screens being distorted by the water. This effect would be too time-consuming to pull off just for a prank video.

The reflections of the screens could well appear dark at a particular angle, perhaps due to polarisation.

My wife is using my 6 plus cover for her s plus . I would only buy dedicated s cases if they were hard covers but soft covers snug in 6s quite well

Wow, 6S beats S6 in multitasking

The S6 lost to the 6 in multitasking. The Zenfone 2, One M9, etc beat the 6. The S6 is probably the worst example to pit it against for multitasking, even with plenty of idle RAM samsung likes to bump things out of memory for some reason.

Tried to reserve a 6s+ since reservations opened up again. Zero iphones of any kind in California :-(

It's slightly true. I think you will only have issues with cases that had a really snug and precise fit for the iPhone 6/6+. Otherwise, most cases will fit just fine. I just put an old iPhone 6 Plus aluminum case from Spigen on my new iPhone 6s Plus and it fits it just fine.

Holy shit, you weren't kidding. There is NOTHING in California

 

[ZeroMaverick]

I feel like the 6s battery is worse than my old 5c or something. In just 3 hours, I'm already down to 78%

 

[Kama_1082]

Took advantage of the local AT&T store offer of a $50 iPad mini 2 with purchase of the phone. Just picked it up this morning and it's pretty damn awesome.

 

[Sir Abacus]

Keep in mind that the stocks refill at 8am each day. They don't take on any more appointments than they can handle.

 

[Nephtis]

And they reassured us AZ-Tucson would have more phones today...

this bs is starting to dissuade me :\

 

[Magnus]

Is it not an option for you guys to get your iPhones via your carrier stores and not from Apple? I had a totally painless experience going right to Rogers, one of the major carriers in Toronto/Canada.

They've got a whole bunch at stores across the city for walk-ins too.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Ha, I checked at 7:58. Now California has stock

And then they ran out of stock at my store for the model I want as I was putting in a reservation

 

[Owari]

Yea it's jaw droppingly good.

Best phone I've used by far.

There are definitely frame drops though. It's not 100% 60fps. Hopefully they fix that. And the heat.

I haven't had a single hangup on the 6S. How much slower than 60Fps does the 6S+ do?

 

[Nephtis]

I may have spoken too soon. It looks like they're updating the stock realtime?

 

[Enco]

I haven't had a single hangup on the 6S. How much slower than 60Fps does the 6+ do?

Cant say for sure but below 30 I'm guessing. Only briefly but still annoying.

The hang ups are worse. Every now and then my phone locks up for a few seconds.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Stock gets updated at 8AM PST every morning. And yes, in real time

That's extremely disappointing. I wish that screen was just a smidge smaller so the CPU could keep up.

Yeah my 6S is a little weaker with battery than I expected and I'm coming from a 6. But it'll take a while for the battery to go through some charge cycles and get to its optimum. And I can't stop playing with the phone too.

 

[Kama_1082]

It's probably new phone syndrome

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

I haven't reloaded an app yet. This additional ram is sort of Amazing. I'm actually realizing I actually enjoy the additional heft to the phone, idk why but it just works for me.

Battery life is similar to the 6 I upgraded from, so whatever magic they used to make the 6S battery smaller but give the same usage is cool with me -- I routinely make it through a day without needing a charge.

 

[BokehKing]

I have not used an iPhone since the 4
Been Goog Set Droid Gang for awhile

With that said, the culture shock is so god damn refreshing

I just wish swift key was shown the same love on iOS that it gets on android...

Def not a fan of the keyboard, I want to long press for #'s and symbols not hit a different key to get to them

Oh yeah, I guess I've been messing with it more lol

 

[Nephtis]

Seems to be plenty of 6s 64gb models for Verizon, but no 128. Damn.

Tmobile does have some, but I don't wanna go back to them D:

 

[Your Entertainer]

I know you're just trolling (and doing a terrible job), but in now way is the hardware in the 6S Plus insufficient to drive that res - it has to be a software thing at this point (if it's a thing; ie he's not indexing/has the same usage patterns you do etc)

I'd even go as far as to say the same for the 6 plus

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Damn it, my local store ran out in seconds.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Picked up my reserved model. The leather case is slippery as hell and I feel like backing that bumper Kickstarter.

 

[Dougald]

My display has a small grey blob that gradually fades when the display is static. Taking it in tomorrow, I may win prize for first faulty 6s at my stores Genius Bar.

 

[Aurizen]

I'll have my phone before my case I was hoping I'd get them on the same day.

Do it! You only have 5 days to do it but they will only ship it on November.

Idea for iPhone 7


Remove the home button. Force touch bottom of screen to wake phone , log in , go to home screen.

I'm pretty sure they have a patent to integrate TouchID into the screen itself

 

[uncleniccius]

wat

No

This hoax was accepted last year and people dipped their phones in water

My bad. It seemed to be real, but the thing is that *if* it was waterproof they likely would have advertised it.

I was just thinking today that I'd love for them to get rid of the thick top/bottom bezels and eliminate the Home button, but I can't think of a way for it to feasibly work. The Home button is too ingrained in the whole OS at this point. Apple Pay/Siri/App Swicher/Screenshots/Force Shut down/etc

 

[MRSA]

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.

You also have to restore your phone when it is unlocked.

I'm saying the home button would now be virtual instead of physical, bottom would just have a round etch where you put your finger, rest is all force touch

Battery life is a huge downgrade from a 6+ but I knew that going in.

 

[Reckoner]

You went for a 6s this time right?

 

[Aurizen]

Battery life is a huge downgrade from a 6+ but I knew that going in.

I know it'll be a huge upgrade for me going from a 5

 

[Juice]

Man the 6s+ is so much faster even for web browsing. I'm pretty sure I'm not in an area that t-mobile has any of that sweet 700mhz/band 12 spectrum either, but nevertheless the radio is clearly much much faster.

 

[Got the Shakes]

At my "appointment" to pick up my 6s+ and I'm in a line with an estimated 2 hour wait...

 

[subrock]

Oh man I was accidentally set to Zoomed all yesterday and i couldn't figure out why everything seemed so weird. Standard is definitely my jam

 

[Sir Abacus]

Which store is that?

 

[exmachina64]

Creates the potential for the phone to be unresponsive when the software freezes.

Edit: As in, "Fuck, I can't reboot my phone!"

 

[riotous]

Yeah; and to anyone new to the 6 line they should definitely find and adjust the text size setting.

I put it at the smallest possible and apps are still incredibly easy to read. WhatsApp looks ridiculous for instance unless you lower it.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Which store is that?

The Apple Store at Somerset Mall in Troy, Mi.

 

[Kibbles]

Do it! You only have 5 days to do it but they will only ship it on November.

I've been backing it and they just said it won't work with Cinder which is disappointing

 

[Jugendstil]

3D Touch really is so cool, especially while browsing the web. It's especially great for reading content behind a cut tag on a blog. I can't wait for more apps to support it.

 

[kaiiri]

Mine is busted too. Followed every trick online - sans restore. Hopefully it works itself out by tomorrow night

Ya I've tried everything I've seen online too. It's really annoying that something like this isn't working. Tried what was said below as well with making sure old phone was wiped and I've tried turning the settings off and on yet no luck. I've talked to apple.. now I'm talking to AT&T.... and they can't seem to figure it out either. Pretty depressing when getting a new phone.

He said his 6S+ was dropping below 60FPS and having hang ups. I'm not trolling, lol.
