Took 2 days from there for me.

My 128GB was also near full so I opted for a 256 GB model. I have 10800 songs, 6 videos, 3561 Photos, and 36 apps. I'm currently sitting at 113 GB used.

I used the Anker tempered glass on my 6s+. Super easy to put on and $10 at Amazon.

Why on earth do you need that many songs at once?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I've officially been using my Jet Black 7 Plus without a case for a full week. While it does show fingerprints like a mother, I'm happy fo report I have no scratches - and even in direct sunlight, no serious "microabrasions."
It will scratch. No doubt. And a lot. But for now, it's holding up better than I expected; knock on wood.
Just FYI.
Typical use is sitting in a jeans pocket, sitting on a desk, being sat on a treadmill to watch while I run, and thrown in a cup holder when driving.

For lots of reasons. Because I still like almost all the music I've bought. I want to be surprised when I decide to have random on. I don't like having to go into iTunes and select which artists, playlist, or album I want to listen to in advance. I don't know what kind of mood I'll be throughout the day for which album I want to listen to. And so on. Why restrict myself?
Do you back up the cloud or on your pc? If the cloud, how much do you pay for the extra storage?

I opted for 256GB solely for the music space

I can't speak for anyone else but I fly frequently and I like having a large selection of my music available offline for that.

You must really like music on the go.
What headphones do you listen with your iPhone?

I think the new home button is definitely one the biggest improvements for I can open my phone or switch apps without having to give it what feels like a massive button press on the 6 plus now.

I'm on the subways almost everyday, maybe in 10 years NYC will have wifi in the actual subway trains

My latest purchase was a Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 but for the most part I just use some bang and olufsen ear buds.
This is also a big reason I like to keep a lot of my music downloaded to my phone.

I have my backups on my 512 GB MBP. Although, I'm thinking about switching over to my Hackintosh since space is becoming an issue on my Macbook too.
I currently am using Audio-Technica ATH-ANC9 headphones. I'm probably going to be getting the Sony MDR-1000X once it's released.
This is another reason I opt for storage. I don't want to rely on using Verizon to access all of my music.

It came!
I'll buy for $1250!
sure, but do you really listen to ALL Of it?
I download a playlist of my most listened to stuff at the moment so i don't use data while driving around.
I just don't feel like I need every album i own downloaded to my phone at all times anymore.

I don't need every single song from my library on my phone, although I'd like that, but I have a big collection of music with a ton of variety. On a long flight I like having the ability to be able to listen to as much of that as possible.
Just try it at the store and I will skip this model mainly for the home button.
I loved the appearance of the mate black but as I said hated the button, probably it's a matter to get used to, but I tried a long time for my standards and I didn't like it in any of the three press levels. At the other side I loved the 6s of 32gb, did they actually changed something about the phone or just upgraded the memory?

Yeah, the home button is honestly the biggest flaw of the 7 to me. Hate how it feels. Reminds me of shitty capacitive buttons on old Android phones. Hope it's just a stopgap till they drop the home button completely next year.
The only difference in the 6S is that it now starts at $549 and comes in 32 and 128GB flavors rather than 16/64/128.

friend who was est oct 4 - 10 just got a dispatch notification and tracking number... but it says estimated delivery is in 8 days. wtf lmao
where could it be coming from?

I actually felt the same way when I used someone's 6s the other day. It actually threw me off. The taptic "click" is so consistent and smooth feeling now.

I think the new home button feels fine although let's talk again when it's the middle of winter and I'm not wearing capacitive gloves.

I think it perfectly fits their goal to encourage touch ID use. In which case capacitive gloves really do nothing to help anyway...(if you just want to view your notifications you can tilt the phone up, but unfettered access is going to need your fingerprint)
This is why I use the Podcast app when I ride the subway.

Or enter your password w/ the touch-glove

why did they fuck up the music app but leave the podcasts app in perfect condition
why are there two different media player interfaces but they're both official
aaah

Sure. But six digits on the glove is pretty awkward, have to admit I'd rather take my glove off.

Obviously I'm not listening to thousands of songs every subway ride, I just like the option of having instant access
Still waiting on my 7 Plus shipment but getting a case beforehand. Is the Peel the most recommended right now? I used to have the Apple leather case on my 6/6S and wouldn't mind getting the same one for the Plus. I don't really need much protection aside from scratches and usually keep my phones in pristine condition. So the thinner the better.
This is how I feel. I don't know why the idea of having my whole music collection with me is odd. Sometimes I just get the desire to listen to something and I want it when I want it. I'm not always able to get to my PC especially if I'm out of town.
How do you enter your password now they removed swipe to unlock?

Press the home button or try to open a notification without activating Touch ID.

I went for a Spigen Liquid Crystal. Its a soft and transparent case. Seems nice. I'll tell you what it's like on my iPhone 7 Plus when it arrives in 500 years.

I recently traded in my iPhone 6S. Is it normal for it to appear as 265 ?
Bruce Springsteen
Member
you mean trade in price of $265 at the the apple store? you should get double that on craig's list

Sorry. AT&T trade in promotion. I was told that it appears as 265 because of how the promotion works but there isn't any mention of the 650 I'm supposed to get on the receipt.
