Apple iPhone 6S |OT|

Just the phone.
That's a good question. Usually, it's just that I notice the Battery meter is yellow. But there's nothing immediate about performance (that could change if I notice it interacting with the Watch differently) that reminds me about it. Maybe it's a good thing that Low Power Mode doesn't affect my usage too much when I pick my phone up for serious usage?
I do wish there was a quicker way to turn it off. As a matter of fact, that's one thing I hope Apple includes is integrating more of 3D Touch throughout the actual UI. Force Touching the battery meter to induce/disable Low Power Mode, or force touching the quick toggles to go directly to their settings menu...maybe in iOS 9.1 lol.
vs 10 millions iPhone 6 in the same timeframe last year.

Figured as much. They just could not produce enough iPhone 6 for that launch. I got screwed in both this launch and the last one unfortunately, but I've seen a lot less people going without phones this time around.

Another option would be to set a location based reminder with Siri. Have it set something like "Hey Siri, remind me to turn off low power mode when I get home." In theory when you walk into you place you should have a reminder pop up.
It shows up online, closest store to me says OOS, but $5.98
I would have bought one for every day of the week at that price.
I like this. I really wish that you could tell Siri to "Turn off Low Power Mode when I get home" and eliminate the need for a reminder. That's when Siri will have reached final form.

Yeah that obviously would be much more convenient. Unfortunately this is the best we have right now.

I've posted this a couple of times both here and in the iOS 9 thread but no one pays attention because the thread moves fast.
iCloud backups do NOT work for a lot of people on iOS 9.

What's a good durable case without going into the "I'm a dad that works in construction"

Good god this phone is a beast. Can only imagine what the A9X will do in the iPad Pro. Apple is so good at silicon it's scary.
My poor, poor Nexus 5... totally DESTROYED in those tests.
My new 6S Plus is a monumental upgrade. Wow.
I thought that I was having auto backup issues but last night my 6S auto-backed up at 5am. That's the first auto backup it has done since getting the iPhone on Friday launch day. But at least it did it.
Tips: Make sure you have enough iCloud space (if necessary delete the old backup of your last iPhone) My 6S backup is 8GB. Plus I'm sure you know the usuals (wifi on, locked & plugged in).
Does a manual iCloud backup succeed?
BUT my iPad 4th Generation would never auto-backup ever since I put iOS 8 on it a year ago. All conditions being met. It would also only manually iCloud backup if I set the screen-timeout to 'Never', or else the backup would fail when the iPad locked itself. It never fixed itself after putting iOS 9 on it. I've since turned off iCloud backup on the iPad and just do cable backups to my comp.

my perf completely shit the bed when I updated. I'm going to do a factory reset and see if the perf changes. I don't mind the data loss, just intrigued.
I had a momentary issue of this on iOS 9, turns out for me it was a combination of having been on the public beta track and the beta profile sending incorrect device info to the server (deleting the profile + my existing back up solved this part) and secondly, I needed to accept the new iCloud Terms of Use which looks to have been pushed out in the last few days. It only popped up an Accept/Disagree dialogue once I went into manage storage.

is there a fast way to get to low power mode
instead of settings, battery, low power. I was hoping it would be in the control center next to airplane, blutooth and wifi

Well that actually looks really nice.
I only turn it on when the battery percentage goes down to 40%
Yup.
I ordered my Space Gray iPhone 6S Plus 128GB like 4-5 days after preorders started and still got mine on launch day.
My mom ordered her Rose Gold 6S Plus 128GB probably 3-4 days before RELEASE day and her's arrives tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. No idea why they didn't put it in there.

Outrageous. Can anyone post Snapdragon throttling to put this in more perspective? I'm on my phone.

Got my 6s+ on Saturday replacing my 6+. This is the first time I didn't wait two years to upgrade and I couldn't be happier. The performance difference is immediately noticeable, and I'm using 3D Touch enough that it's going to be weird using my iPad Air 2 without it.

It's harder to get the 10 minutes of an 810 but you can match the X positions.

Is anybody else a Swype user from Android? I can't stand the regular keyboard because I like typing with one hand on Swype/Swiftkey but they are gimpy and a little buggy on here. Sometimes the predicted words panel doesn't pop up.

How long did it take for carriers in norway to sell the 6?

Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up getting the bump case. It has a must more prounounced lip than the the previous cases that almost feel flush. I have a tempered glass protector on it so it makes the screen a bit taller but this still provides a bit of a lip. Feels sturdy and doesn't seem like it will slip out of my hands. Thank you!
It's because it's the 128 mainly. When I talked to some friends at the att location I used to work at they're saying the 128s are easiest to come by because they're more expensive. It was the same when I used to sell these, the high memory model was always easier to get than the lowest.
make sure all previous backups are deleted from your account. It's not iOS 9 per se.. I've had this in previous iOS versions also. Check to see if it's a space issue.. if it's not a space issue, the other thing I'ev come across is a failed backup stored in icloud preventing further backups, and one time I swear I had a previous iOS version backup (from an upgrade) preventing my current backup from working.

Now that iphones are officially more powerful than a 360, can we please get the desktop version of Civ 5? Should be doable on low settings with a few optimizations, no?
It's okay. I tend to want to trust the general design of these things. I usually try that first for a while, and use it as intennded. However, the battery was slipping by at a speed on par with my 2-year old 5S. I feel like that shouldn't be the case and I have no idea why. And when I say I govern my functions thoroughly, I just mean that I turn shit off when I'm not using it for a long stretch. For example, I only use bluetooth in my car on my commute to work and home. I don't need bluetooth on all day when sitting at my desk. When I'm sitting there for 9+ hours, I turn it off.
Location Services is a battery vampire for me, but it's also buried too far in menus to be worthwhile to disable when I really want to. It seems silly it's shrouded so far down in the system when it's one of the biggest drains in the phone's daily longevity.
