iPhone 6S/6S Plus User Thread

[MacinJosh]

Finally got me an iPhone 6s Plus. Yay me!

 

Anyway I've been seeing posts here about how the field test screen on the 6s models are not showing the correct information. Today at work I went to the field test screen a couple of times while on 3G and for the SID of 4148 it normally shows 1900 PCS for the band class but on the new phone the field test app showed it as being 800 SMR.

 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes, except my 3G connections always say the non SMR 800 MHz. Apple almost completely killed the 1x Field Test Screen.

I feel that the 6s is handling data not as nice as my old iphone 6. Not sure why but it seems slower and even close to a tower, I get slow speeds.

 

My 6S Plus works better than my 6 Plus in terms of handling data. My connections are far more stable overall.

Finally was able to the Apple Store and pick up a 6s Plus 128GB.  I believe that I was able to connect to a second carrier in Nashville with 55dn/15up.  It is the fastest speed I have recorded on LTE.

Just ran ##UPDATE#. PRL updated to 55030.

Well, its been about a week now since my phone went for a swim and it's still running smoothly. Guess the 6s is slightly waterproof like they said.

Is there any way to manually update the PRL? I'd like to change to a 56*** PRL for 3G roaming.

As far as I know, there is no way to change PRL's with a jailbreak anymore.

Really liking the new wifi antenna.  When Comcast is working correctly at home, I have seen 126 down/25 up.  I would guess the down speed is the max for the phone.

I've been getting upwards of 200 mbps on my 6 Plus on my 300 mbps Time Warner connection.

If I bring my unlocked iPhone 6s (model A1633) to Sprint, will I also have all the features you have including HD Calling?

Thanks dor your quick response. Does Sprint give less priority to customer's who bring their own device? I'm talking in terms of data speeds.

No.  But you will need to have the card internally in your phone changed to Sprint.  They should be able to do that for you at a Sprint store that does repair work.

Is this 100% accurate? It's the 6s and supports all networks and bands. Do you mean the SIM Card?

I do it constantly while it's in my pocket. No wonder my battery dies quick.

Yes, the SIM card

Was with AT&T and now back with Sprint at half the price, I regret I even switched but now I'm rocking a space grey iPhone 6S which is unprecedented considering I've been in the Android ecosystem since the beginning.

iPhone 6S noob here...how does the 3D touch work?  I have tried pressing on icons (camera app) but the only luck I get is all the icons start to shake, what gives?

It's all about different levels of pressure. One way you can play around with it is in the messages app. There you can see the "peek" and "pop".

Yeah *scratches head* 

 

 

 

 

This is my first iPhone, since the days of smartphones I went from Blackberry (2008) to Android (2009-2015).

I have to admit, I really love the live pictures on this phone more than I though I would when Apple announced it. It's really awesome thinking you just have a picture of a special moment, and then press it to get 3 seconds of video with audio of that moment. [emoji106]????
