Yep. It does auto-adjust, but it doesn't seem to be very active as the 4 and 4S were. I wonder why that is.

At a guess, it's done for less battery drain eg. slowly adjust it to an even light situation rather than knee-jerk up/down adjustments to account for all sudden/temporary changes in the environment.
The servers are probably getting slammed. But i've been used it a few times today and it worked alright. A bit slow sometimes but I didn't get the 'try again later' error I was getting on my phone the other day.

LTE is even faster, but this isn't horrible for what you folks are basically calling fake 4G.

There absolutely needs to be a follow up to this.
Everything this lady says... how is it even possible??
She convinced me to buy an Apple 5.
Has anyone watched this:

It would definitely explain the issues.

I don't know, in most cases, the display is brighter than it needs to be. There was only one instance so far where for some reason it adjusted itself to the lowest brightness.
Anyway, one other thing that's annoying is the screen doesn't seem to turn itself off if the phone is plugged in to charge.
Wow. The pics at least in there look legit, unfortunate if true.
You're probably fucked. Unless you bought it with Apple 4 of course.
what!?
my 4S does not rattle, whats the difference?
I do not want to buy a phone with moving parts
This is amazing.

Only problem with the video is that the headphone jack is on the wrong side to the production version.
Are you talking about the render pics (the macro-style ones with the wooden surface)? The fact that they even use those shots as purported leaked photos is sort of questionable anyway.
Well at least she knows what phone she wants.

Updating apps without a password is not what I wanted 
sometimes an app has a shit update or something is removed, now knowing that my little bro or nephew can come along and update them when they play is bad thoughts.

But do they direct music into the ear?

...hate me...
That doesn't make much sense. They can already delete your apps which will make you lose your app data, and you'll have to get the latest version of said app if you don't have the one you want on iTunes anyway.Updating apps without a password is not what I wanted
Not saying that you shouldn't do it, but if you handle your phone to children (or anyone really), shit can always go down. But you can at least enable some restrictions if you want to, including to the app store.
I guess you could enable restrictions, though that'd be annoying to do every time you give them the phone. Or don't give them the phone to play with! :|Updating apps without a password is not what I wanted

If it's not a setup then...damn.
My mind is trying to protect itself by telling me it's a fake, but my heart is whispering to me the sad truth that it's real.
Either way it's really something.. but I hope to god it's staged.

Loving that homescreen wallpaper.... Can you post it please?
Anyone know anything about why "iCloud Service" uses so much data over cellular even when connected over wifi? I'm using Dataman Pro to track data usage and this iCloud Service stuff is adding up. This is just one hour's worth of use, with my iPhone connected to wifi the entire time (left column is cell data, right is wifi data):

How do you get to that screen? Now that I'm not on unlimited this would come in handyAnyone know anything about why "iCloud Service" uses so much data over cellular even when connected over wifi?

Are you sure it's connected the entire time? it's been my experience that iOS releases the wifi signal while the screen is locked.
Perhaps. Broader question: why is there so much communication with iCloud over cellular in any situation? I turned off iCloud -> Documents & Data -> Use Cellular Data and iTunes & App Stores -> Use Cellular Data.

It's an app called Dataman Pro:
http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/dataman-pro-real-time-data/id433617332
iOS dumps the wifi signal when the device is locked to conserve battery.
I would guess it uses the traffic because iCloud pings/syncs (in addition to the Docs&Data stuff) Mail, Contacs, Calendars, Reminders, Safari user state/bookmarks, Notes, Passbook, Photo Streams on a regular basis, only if turned on of course.
there won't be a map for you to see unless you turn on data. it'll be a blue dot on a uniform grid.
there are apps that have offline maps that allow you to navigate with the GPS and no data
Ah, right. Thanks. Most of that is disabled but I do have Safari syncing.
Maybe bumping up my data limit would be worth avoiding all this anxiety.
You can use apps that download maps. Neither apple maps or google maps has that option I think.
MotionX does as well as others. I used it when I went to Mallorca last month.
but you do not have to put it on airplane mode, just select to turn of mobile data, then it only access internet/data while on wifi and you still can use it as a phone
Verizon LTE is amazing in Manhattan. Typically getting 15Mbps down, but my highest speed test was 32Mbps. I've already chewed through 8.2GB of data since Friday.
Paying retail for the phone to keep unlimited was definitely worth it for me. Over a two-year period the $450 subsidy works out to $18.75 a month, so I'm effectively paying $42.75 a month ($30 less 20% work discount for data, plus $18.75) for unlimited, unthrottled LTE.

I know it's not ideal, but the caching in the new maps app seems to be good. Even the 3D stuff, I find are still browsable without a connection. As long as you have the basics cached, there may be no need for data.

I believe the navigon app has maps stored on your phone that you can use without data.

Auto just pushes your brightness setting up or down a little depending on ambient light. The brightness level of the bar is still the overall/global brightness.
