i'm having a weird issue re: sounds. my phone still rings, but all other sounds (messages, email, camera, lock click etc) are muted, even though they are still on under settings. it was working fine until a few hours ago. any idea? tried the old fashioned turn-it-off-and-on-again but nothing. dnd is not scheduled either.

I was getting this with my 5S after 9.0.1 or whatever update and updated to the 6S as result. Haven't experienced it on the 6S yet.
Have not experienced this on my S+.
The phone has been perfect for me.
If it persists maybe return it.
Do the sounds work with headphones in?

Is it cheaper to buy a new iPhone Plus 64GB or leash with T-Mobile Jump on Demand if I plan to upgrade every year?
The Apple's 6S+ 64GB cost $917 after tax. I saw the price of 6+ 64GB that's going for ~$514 on Craigslist now, so its value went down by $400.
Will I save more by leashing with Jump on Demand or buy to own the 6S+ then sell it when the 7+ comes out.

I've got a 2 second freeze twice since I got it. Not too worried, should be ironed out soon enough.
Call..
Are you near the store? Might be worth it just to walk in and see what happens.
I've done that already and it didn't work.
I found a phone in my desired color in Chandler. Fuck it. I'm gonna make my way out there and get it.
[edit] I looked at my confirmation and somehow I must've selected T-Mobile when I wanted Verizon.
That's it. I give up.

Usually in the app itself there's an "add boarding pass to wallet" option.
Alright. Hmm, there's absolutely nothing in the Norwegian app. I'm gonna investigate.

Good question. On Android phones there's an app that will temporarily unlock your phone. I know some carries like Verizon and AT&T will loan you a phone, but that was a long time ago and don't what's up with current policies. I haven't been outta country or let alone overseas, but T-Mobile should have some new policies about overseas usage. They were promoting it a while ago about having data usage in certain countries with no fees, but you have to be on the right plan. Also, there is no charge for using Wi-Fi calling which iPhone does support.
You should hit T-Mo and see what they have to say.

They have been known to unlock when traveling abroad. Not sure if you would need to show proof of your travel or not.
Just ask them in-store for the best chance of success.
Are you connected to a Bluetooth device?

It is not a consistent issue and doesn't bother me. It's not a hardware issue, could happen even if I get the phone replaced.
They have pretty decent international rates (I think 20 cents a minute?) but you get unlimited texting and data (2g only). Obviously I would prefer to have at least 3G coverage and a prepaid SIM would be cheaper most likely.
I was having freezing issues; waited 2 days because I read spotlight search indexing can cause it, but 48 hours to index a phone with hardly anything on it made no sense.
Did a factory reset and my freezing completely went away, other than one or 2 brief ones the first hour or so (which was the indexing most likely.)
Biggest problem I am having is I get service about 5% of the day while sitting at my desk at work; constantly switching from LTE to 4G (with no data) to no service, which also kills the battery.
Service at my work sucked with my 6 but generally worked fine at my desk.
It sucks because it's POSSIBLE it's the tower, or some other change to the environment at work.. but it would be quite the coincidence that it timed perfectly with me getting a new phone.
The other strange thing is it works fine when I get to work; I'm there earlier than 90% of people.. so could be the amount of people using the tower, or could be that the bright overhead lighting which is turned off until about an hour into my day is somehow messing with my signal.

Anyone that got a 6s+ 64gb on T-Mobile, was your lease monthly payment listed at $32? This is for people that didn't get on the cheaper plan over the summer with the 6.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
I don't think you will regret it. The bigger screen, way better battery life, and camera makes the 6S+ a far superior phone to the regular 6S.
Although you can do wifi calling with some operators, you'd think with smartphones having pretty much constant wifi access indoors, that there would be more support for calling/texting over wifi. I have really bad reception across all operators in my house, and I'd jump to almost any platform or operator if that would work reliably.
I can't use my work wifi on my phone.
I had to turn off Siri Spotlight. It's fixed in 9.1 PB3.
Mines freezes for a couple seconds coming out of lock screen about once a day. 6S+ 9.1b3

It took me 2 days to get used to it. I sold my 6 and was boxing it up and it felt tiny in my hand.

Peeking and popping threads in Neogaf is cool, but the real gamechanger is peeking quotes to see the entire quoted post without losing your spot in the thread.
If you're buying unlocked, the T-Mobile and Verizon are the same model, so should work either way. (I bought the 128GB Verizon 6S+ unlocked and use T-Mobile).
T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint all use the same model. AT&T has its own, but any carrier will work on any model, since the AT&T model only adds LTE band 30. So really only if your AT&T subscriber should you really worry.
Of course, if you're not buying unlocked, this doesn't apply.
Well, we returned the 6S's. Without kicking off another ios vs Android debate, we were just frustrated with how difficult simple things were to do. Wife installed Zedge, to get her favorite ringtone on the iPhone. Apparently Apple locked even that down, to force you to get ringtones via iTunes. That was the final straw.
Surprisingly, they let us keep the Mini 2's GSM for $100 each. I kinda hoped they would, but thought no way.
I would've been fine with using the iPhone, I looked the look, felt good in my hand and the OS wasn't horrible. They were nice phones, just not for us.
New easy way to find out if you have the Samsung built A9 or the TSMC A9.
Install Lirium Device Info Lite (free).

On the front screen:
n71ap = Samsung
n71map = TSMC

And for 6S+, it's
n66ap = Samsung
n66map = TSMC
I have the TSMC. Any reason I should care?

Nice thanks man! I have TSMC in my 6S 128GB.

FWIW, .m4r files are just .aac files renamed .m4r. Just email them to your phone number at the carrier address and add them from Messages:

What's the difference?

So TSMC is 16nm and Samsung 14nm. Does that mean an iPhone with the Samsung chip could potentially be a little more power efficient?
That's what some of the boys over on the Macrumors forums believe.

Man l'd be pissed if that's true. I've got the TSMC chip
You were (presumably) perfectly content with your phone 5 minutes ago, lol. It's a 1% difference of anything, don't worry about it.
