Apple iPhone 6S |OT|
- Thread starter Nasser
- Start date
Crashing/lagging/reloading etc. Its well known and exacerbated by ios9.
Here are the iOS9 and iPhone 6 OT threads where this is more relevant anyway.

Very correct. In my ground floor flat I don't get a signal much. Thank goodness the 3-intouch app is decent.
When I was on O2 It wouldn't work properly. Probably better now I guess.
Mrs got her 6s yesterday in rose gold. Super jealous it's a lovely phone

What's confusing is that in Europe we just called HSPA 3G and LTE 4G.
Where's in the US you called HSPA 4G and then call LTE, LTE.
Good I was worried
What about on the 6s+? Surely Apple at least made landscape 3D touch multitasking work on that?
Man, I'm not impressed with my new iPhone 6. It have lagged and crashed multiple times in Safari and Chrome just loading GAF threads. It almost feels less smooth than the LG G3 I had before it.
And I'm almost getting cramps because it isn't that wide and I got rather large hands. But I'll get used to it for sure.
If you're talking actual app crashing, like dumping to the home screen or restarting, I didn't see that on my 6 (or still don't, as my wife has it now). If you're talking about the tab refreshing or 'encountering a problem' and reloading then yeah that I did see. I would also turn off embedded video in mobile gaf and maybe hiding gifs as some threads are really bogged down with them.
Can't speak on Chrome as Mobile chrome has usually sucked in my experience on any device so I generally avoid it.

It sounds like the iPhone 6 you bought came with iOS 8 or 8.1, god that version was a buggy mess. At the time, I had the 6 Plus and the girlfriend had the 6, and we both experienced random app crashing and restarts, it was so fucking annoying. It got better once iOS 8.4 rolled around, a lot of bugs got ironed out and the only thing that bothered me was the lack of RAM on the 6 Plus and some stuttering here and there. Girlfriend has no complaints now on her 6, except she now wants the 6s. 😁
Actually yes. Quite regularly the iOS versions of Google's apps get updates and features first, and arguably are higher quality than some of their Android counterparts. See: Maps, Chrome & Hangouts point revisions in the past few months.
I couldn't find an Apple OT for this, so I guess I'll ask this here. I'm selling my Nexus 7 and taking the funds from that to buy a used iPad. Are iPad 4s still any good, or should I fork over the extra ~$70 to get an Air?
Pls don't yell at me if this is the wrong place to ask thanks guys :3

If you can push a bit for the Air, that's definitely worth going for.

Go for the air. I have an air and a 4 and there's definitely a dividing line there. The 4 is starting to get slow while the air still feels "new" so to speak.

LG G3 was no slouch, so that comparison was tough for the 6. In fact last year I tried both phones and went with G3. I'm now on a 6s and feel like they hit the sweetspots in specs, camera upgrades, and 3D touch to make it an easy switch.

So I call the specific number Verizon calls me and...
they had no idea what was going on.
"Yeah it seems like you were already approved on the 25th.... there's no hold on your account"
"uhh"
*asks me a bunch of security questions that already happened*
"yeah you should be able to do it... like in 15 minutes maybe"
goddamnit verizon.
GODDAMNIT I JUST WANT MY IPHONE AND TO NOT STEP FOOT IN THE APPLE STORE WHERE MY EX GIRLFRIEND WORKS JESUS

I'm still not getting automatic backups overnight, and have to force manual iCloud backups. Anyone else having this issue? Hoping 9.0.2 fixes this.
Holy shit. You are a lifesaver. The micro stutter during pull down search have been driving me crazy. Thank you!!!

I eventually had to talk to her and she ended up saying "well see you in 30 days" -____-

It doesn't. I'm having the same issue
Hell, my sister is having an issue where iCloud thinks her last backup was 0kb (so she doesn't have one) and every time she goes to back up it says she's run out of iCloud space. Something's going on with iCloud backups these days
Verizon still has zero 6S+ 128gb phones in my local apple store. What the shit.
Could it be that she placed the hold to fuck with you?

Anyone who got a 6S+ want to share their thoughts so far? How is performance/battery life?
What are the most common issues so far both software/hardware wise?
Also, if your old phone was something the same size as a Nexus 5 (4.95", 445ppi, 70.8% screen/body ratio) then how does it feel moving to the 6S+?

What really irks me, is it's specifically the 6s that has this issue. My 1st-gen Air? No problem. My 6? No issue. I'm totally stumped. There's no way it's a hardware issue with the 6s, right? It's gotta be a software thing.

Actually it's not working for me on my Air 2 either :/ I'm going to go a couple days without manually backing up and hopefully they kick into gear. And also nothing happens to them

It's snappy, the display looks amazing. I came from a smaller phone (5S) so the size change takes some adjusting, particularly when trying to text with one hand, etc. But the added size feels luxurious, so I'm not complaining about the functional aspects as much.
I do notice some animation hitches here and there, but they're only really noticeable if I'm actively looking for them.
Basically hardware is ace, software is fast and smooth in spite of the occasional mini hiccup. Doesn't affect performance overall though. And 3D Touch is pretty amazing.

This happened to my on my 6 last week, right after I upgraded to the 50GB iCloud plan. But once it did an overnight backup eveything was fine...

I would say so but I'm pretty sure it's Verizons shittiness.
And its the only apple store in town

What are you talking about. My 6 is even faster than d1 with iOS9 and i did the OTA update, also tests around the internet show a pretty small bump in speed for daily use when going from 6 to 6S and that's pretty normal tbh. The phone is still a beast, G3 was a laggy mess according to pretty much anyone who owns the device, i don't know if that chaged now but it used to have big problems with the ui. Maybe try to add Crystal to Safari, then let me know if you still see any lag on the i6 while browsing the web.Man, I'm not impressed with my new iPhone 6.

People who need a new phone should obviously look at the 6S, but if you already own the iPhone 6 you have a pretty fucking great phone and that won't change anytime soon.

did she delete that 0KB backup? If not that is likely what's causing her problem. Go into iCloud/backup storage management and delete the 0KB file.

I can confirm this for the G3, UI was an annoyance and the overheating was almost a hazard to health (to the point I would wake up from the heat when I fell asleep next to it).

For the record, I also went in and deleted my 6 backup (wasn't 0kb, but the point stands), and that didn't help either.

Don't.
Us "tick"s gotta stick together! Don't you want to pimp out the 10th gen iPhone with me next year? Won't it feel mind blowingly fresh?
Don't join the "tock" side!

Tweetbot 4 just launched as a universal app for iPhone and iPad. Quick, someone tell juxapollo that it supports the landscape view on the 6+ and 6s+.

Tweetbot has been my favorite. So much so that I've bout hit on all of my devices and in some cases multiple times because they've had a few paid upgrades.
4.0 got these features. It's a universal app now. Quick reply from notifications, landscape on 6+ and 6s+, slide over and true split screen multitasking on iPad. Also redesigned profile pages and a neat new activity page that shows how many retweets etc you've had. It's on sale for $4.99 right now and it's the app I'd recommend for Twitter.
Not having any iCloud backup issues since the GM of iOS 9 but have people tried signing out of iCloud and signing back into their account? That usually fixes other weird issues with iCloud. If not then they may need to do a manual backup and restore of their iPhone on a computer as it could be something software related causing the issue.

What if I am still trying to get the hand of twits? Still worth it?
Nope, on the 6s+ here. It almost seems like an oversight.
