iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus User Thread

Yup. Strangely, my 5S has gone back to PRL 51104 from 55022. Hmm...

 

On the bright side, after 2 weeks of trying, my 5S is finally unlocked by Sprint. I have finally reached the promised land! Now to go sell it so I can get a 6 plus.

Hmmm.  With all of the updates, I am still on PRL 51104.  Even updated (##UPDATE#) after iOS 8.2.

Same here. I have not seen a different PRL on my 6+

The 6's and 6+'s never got it. It was the 5S's that got it, and I had just figured they would have gotten it in the future.

I'm really only noticing one issue with 8.2 so far: tapping the home button takes like 3 seconds to light up the screen. Anyone else? That's kind of annoying.

Mine seems to be instant, so it could be something that is going on with your phone. Have you tried a soft reset?

So, iOS 8.2 seems to of noticeably improved my battery life on my 5s:

 

 

I would be below 40% more than likely with this kind of usage usually.

Yeah, it's doing it, then it won't, then it's back. Maybe the OS just needs to "break in" for a little bit. Other than that, it seems nice and snappy.

Mine seems fine so far. Just installed it though.

And yes. It does feel way snappier as a whole. Even typing is responding way quicker.

I've noticed it this evening. Especially in the dark. Screen comes on but won't show the home screen for a bit. I found that toggling Touch ID for unlock helped for me.

Exactly. What did you do? Toggle it off then back on?

Am I the only one that feels like the Apple Watch icon on the home screen doesn't fit at all?

Yep. Haven't noticed it since.

It's funny, I have 8.3 beta 2, and didn't get an Apple Watch icon. 

 

Also have 18.0.1 carrier for Sprint.

It does seem out of place.  This is also true with the health app.

 

Look at it this way.  If we all want the stylish watch, it is only $10K...  I would rather have a Rolex....

For some reason I've never been able to use the SprintZone app. What little of it I can see looks nice though! One of these years I'll get around to calling Sprint, but with the app being pretty bad in the past I never had much of an incentive to want to use it vs the mobile site in Safari.

 

For you guys that use the Sprint Zone app, what permissions do you have under your sprint.com account (log in to sprint.com > My Preferences > Allow access to my account > Permissions column)?

 

Support is telling me to take my phone into a service center but to me this seems more like an account provisioning/access issue.

 

My permissions are:

 

Manage users and account

• Allow access
• Change plans
• Add a phone
• Pay and update your bill
• See minutes used
• Check upgrade status

Well, it's time to take my phone back to Apple. It's overheated 3 times. 1st was one evening and my friend made a call and couldn't hardly have it near her ear, and the 2nd time was yesterday and the third was today.

What's your carrier listed as on Sprint with 8.2. Still 18.0?

Same over here. I've been on 18.0.4 since Bete 1 of 8.3

So who is getting the Apple watch? I'll prolly end up getting the 42mm sport space grey once I see one in person and try it out to know I like it for sure.

When I get a job that'll be my first big investment. I'm trying to decide to between getting a Gold MacBook or a 13/15" MacBook Pro.

If you are going to do anything that needs high performance, nothing less than the 13" MacBook Pro.

I'm not sure what size yet, but I know for sure I'm getting it in Sport with the Blue band.

Animations are sluggish in 8.2. It's painful on my 6 at times.

I have a watch that's 38mm now and it's a little small on my wrist. I want something a little bigger so unless the 42 is unruly that'll be what I go with. Being in a professional sales setting I don't think the colored bands would be appropriate for me I gotta stick with the boring colors unfortunately. [emoji34]

A few of you guys have said its slow and sluggish. My phone has been pretty damn good to be honest. Maybe try a restore? I restored mine a little bit before the update came out and I've had zero issues so far.

[Vince]

These are by far my best stats at 50% battery remaining since I've owned the phone. Looks like 8.2 is pretty solid with battery life
