iPhone 6 omnibus thread

The push to amazon was definitely an accident since it's now gone. They probably have some kind of automated posting system, and the iphone stuff accidentally made it's way into the rotation.

Still up there for me... http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Non-Slip-Japanese-Protector-Excellent/dp/B00JH87ZSQ

 

 

Also, notice on that one which is the black phone and you can see the buttons which are not the same color. They're chrome?

Yeah, they look chrome. I wonder why these are up? Someone said it earlier, and it's true. This phone is the worst kept secret ever. But it's phone porn for us Apple fans.

It's a wonder why apple wants to start using robots instead of people to assemble the phones entirely.

I am pretty excited for this phone to get released...  Having an iPad and a MBPr, I could definitely use an iPhone as my daily driver so everything is available for me at all times. 

 

I went with Android when joining Sprint just for the tri-band LTE.  If this has B41, which it should, I will probably be going with the 4.7" variant.

 

Anyone have any comparisons with the 5S and the iPad Air in terms of RF performance?  I have the cellular version of the iPad Air and it gets the same or even better LTE connectivity than my Nexus 5 does on the .15 radio.  (Probably worse on B25... Unable to get to any engineering screens)  I feel like the iPad must be pretty strong in B26 though, which is probably the most important at this moment.  Basically, if the 6 can pull in LTE in places my iPad Air does and has B41, I will be a very happy camper.

I was looking forward to the iPhone 6 but now I feel myself wanting to go back to Android, it's going to be a hard decision to make come September, then again if the 6 doesn't have B41 it's not even a question of going back to Android.

That's the reason I've been dabbling on the android side for 6 months. I got bored and needed the larger screen for work, and band 41. I love my m8, but still switch back to my iPhone 5s at least once a week.

Apple Placing Unprecedented Amount of iPhone 6 Orders

 

The paper also states that Apple's first iPhone 6 order will consist of 68 million units, with the device finally entering mass production later this month. This is consistent with earlier rumors about the mass production of the 4.7-inch device, although it is unknown if this newest report is referring to joint production of the 4.7-inch and larger 5.5-inch iPhone 6. 

 
Apple is likely pushing for a large initial order of the iPhone 6 in order to avoid the supply issues that surrounded the launches of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5. While some reports have suggested that Apple may launch the 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6 after the 4.7-inch version due to issues with display technology and battery life, a recent report from Bloomberg suggested that both devices could launch simultaneously. 

 

That's a lot of phones.

The new Google L/Android L design language that was previewed at I/O this year was the first time that I'd ever considered switching out of the Apple Ecosystem. It looks outstanding!

It looks great, I've just pretty much grown tired of iOS same thing every year.

For RF prowess, handsets and tablets tend to be two different animals.  And there are solid reasons for that.

I feel this way too sometimes. I like iMessage to much though. Since the 6 will have b41, I am pretty much stuck with iOS for another 2 years. That's alright though, I am completely enveloped in the apple ecosystem. Never thought I would be, and then it just....happened.

iMessage is rather pointless now with unlimited texts lol.

When I say I love iMessage, I am saying I love the functionality of it. My messages are almost always instantly delivered and I can see when people have read them (if read receipts are on) and when they are delivered. I can send picture messages on wifi or good service at an instant. I can even send long videos which would normally take an eternity over normal text, vs a few seconds or so depending on the size the video if on wifi or a good LTE signal. 

 

Group messaging is easier. I just like iMessage. Texting normally vs iMessage is like night and day for me.

And just wait until Messages in iOS 8. It's such a great overhaul -- I wish they'd take it to iCloud, too, so I could have searchable histories of conversations, photos, videos, and audio that's sent/received. 

 

SMS/MMS is pretty lame by comparison.

I don't even use it, and I often switch to my S3 so it just causes issues with the bug that still hasn't been fixed.

Personal preference. When I'm in bad data areas I turn it off and switch to normal texting because I know they'll work. But 99% of the time, I prefer iMessage. That and I type through messages on my mac when I'm using it. It's easier.

If you have a mac and are signed into messages, they store on your computer. I once had about 8gb of "other" files and I figured it was about 6 gb of messages saved. The rest is mail or crap I can't seem to locate.

Have you seen Chatology? That's the kind of search I'd love to see integrated into Messages on Mac OS, iCloud, iOS.

TSMC is shipping A series processors to apple using their 20nm process thereby allowing Apple to diversify their suppliers.

Something tells me that MDM 9635 is getting minted using the same process :).

Hey Josh, is everything still quiet on the FCC front with the approval of the phone?

 

Has Apple officially announced the phone?  If not, the FCC OET will have nothing until Apple does.

The section where it says the CPU is quad core is contrary to most rumors and reports that I have seen. I have heard it will stay dual core, but have a higher than 2 GHz clock speed. But of course, that's just a rumor.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). The do have a reserve level. It is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  They did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, RVs in Walmart parking lots where mobile needs all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71. 93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline in June for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio iirc. No reported sightings.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
    • Was true in my market. Likely means a higher percentage of 5g phones in your market.
