Vince Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I used Apple Pay for the first time tonight at a gas station. It was by far the easiest thing ever. Not a single hiccup. It's nice that it's always ready, and you don't have to fumble around with an app, or an NFC toggle. Sent from my iPhone 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusherb Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I had an interesting experience with my iP6 yesterday, while driving up to the city my phone decided to just lose signal all together and then connect to only 3G! All the while the iPhone 5 sitting right next to it stayed latched onto strong B25. I didn't get LTE back until I cycled airplane mode. Has anyone confirmed yet if the iP6 utilizes eCSFB? Cuz this experience I had sure sounds like what people's experiences are when eCSFB fails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBigRed79 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What is so stupid is that there is a Walgreens right across the street from every CVS in this town. Not like you have to go out of your way to just start going to Walgreens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretton88 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I should note that Target and Walmart are also part of this competing standards group. It has nothing to do with data, it has everything to do with trying to avoid paying merchant fees to the credit card companies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once people start to realize that, it'll die pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you'll eliminate is a system like in California where you pay extra for transactions with a credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when their cloud system gets breached? It's annoying to have credit/debit cards reissued, but would be terrible to need to close and open new bank accounts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying to have credit/debit cards reissued, but would be terrible to need to close and open new bank accounts.The app has been demoted to 1 star on the App Store. The funniest part is the obvious attempts to sway the reviewers to thinking its a good idea. It's clearly not. This app has failed before it was even released. Perhaps they should consider changing things up. Sent from my iPhone 6 on Crapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying to have credit/debit cards reissued, but would be terrible to need to close and open new bank accounts. This is the way Target's Red Card works. I used it to buy a tv for the extra 5 percent off but stopped using it because it took too long for purchases to come out of my account. If I went shopping on Friday afternoon the money wouldn't be taken out of my account till Tuesday. I like that with Apple pay the money comes out immediately.

I'm already on my 4th Bank of America debit card this year due to breaches at various retailers, with one of them being Target - a CurrenC partner in the MCX. Good luck with that, guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I want to try this just to see how easy it actually is but my us bank card isn't supported.. Yet. Hopefully soon. Edit. Last I looked they didn't have a date. I just looked again and they're claiming early November. Woot! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaQue Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 FYI on another forum some Sprint customers who ordered on 9-19 are getting emails that Sprint has not received expected shipments and they hope to get your 6+ out in 1-4 more weeks. I don't know if this means I could be waiting 10 weeks now or still just 6, I ordered 10-13 Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthawks Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Maybe you guy's can help me. My roommate is on Verizon with an s5. He loves it. Loves the s5 not the cost of Verizon. Anyways he is looking to transfer too Sprint for the iPhone 6 and the fifty bucks a month plan. The only other reason why he is ditching the s5 for iPhone is he had a Mac, Apple tv and something else that is easier for him with Apple. So can you guy's give me some good selling points got him coming over to Sprint and getting iPhone 6 over his current situation please.

First of course check the coverage and make sure he is going to have decent service. Obviously it won't be Verizon like service because that's hard to do right now, if ever. iPhone, Mac, Apple TV and iPad literally interact with each other in the easiest way possible. With handoff (if he has a 2012 or earlier Mac product) he will have continuity between all his devices. Apple TV interacts with the iPhone through wifi and can act as a remote. Honestly, just tell him to watch the Yosemite video and iOS 8 video lol. Plus, spark. Lower bill.
