iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus User Thread

[smalltimehack]

After using a note 4 for a few days I decided I really want a 6s+ or whatever freak name they're going to give the thing. Having a bigger screen is starting to become a must for me. Having bad eyesight and a smallish screen kinda sucks. Considering selling my phone outright but I agree with you guys. I don't want to have to worry about coordinating all of it just to be taken on fees and all of that crap. Guess we'll see how I feel when the new ones get announced.

I haven't googled or anything but has anyone heard anything about the next apple watch? My credit card got a bump in its limit and I've been itching to swipe it somewhere.

 

Super long post edit. I think I said I was going to try the new Moro earlier in the thread. Android seems to have lost some of its polish to me. Notifications aren't the same as they were iirc and it seems to just not be as smooth or efficient as iOS. Don't think I'll waste the time or effort on any of the new androids.

Been using the s6 edge now for a few bours. It's nice... I keep on hitting the return button tho which is really annoying...

 

I am excited to run around and see if I can find some CA.

Just turned in this $29 LG Sunrise StraightTalk Wireless phone:

 

And walked out with this 64GB iPhone 6 Plus:

It's crazy how fast these people testing this phone out are eating up data. I wonder what happens when we run out?

I was told you get only 2gb of data for the test drive phones according to the samsung rep. They said if you go over you'll be responsible for the additional usage. My phone came today but won't get to it until later tonight.

So it's set to that much but I won't be able to use over 2 gb.

That sure is a very low number when the usage text says 1154GB. Very interesting question now.

I know. I even asked if I could just activate the phone on my like for the 30 days and they said I couldn't. I'm going to think they the rep thought I had it with Verizon or AT&T.

I'm upset I missed this promo. Anyone know if free hotspot is included?

Im at .15 go of usage. If everyone gets 2 gb that means there are over 550 lines on this shared data plan haha

Noooooo don't say that lol!!! I can't fully enjoy that phone on 2gb. I'm going to try and do a phone swap on my line tonight if it's true with the data. Well I could just disable the data.

I believe so. Phone is updating but I'll take a look after...

 

Edit. Yes it is included. Have my iPhone on it right now. Lol

Man... it's now up to 40 gb of usage. These people are viscious. I kind of just want to do speed tests to see if it'll go over 2 gb but it seems a bit wasteful

If you look at both screenshots, you'll notice the shared data allotment change from 1132GB to 1154GB. Maybe with each new activated test phone, they add 2GB to the pool?

This test drive thing is going to be a mess within itself since it's shared data.

Yeh.... just gonna have to see how it works I guess. If they cut me off at 2 gb I'll be sending the phone back a lot sooner than 30 days later.

 

Edit... now at 42 gb usage

Right. I think that's what's going to happen with me. Kind a hard to keep track of your own usage when it's shared like that. I know I'm not paying for what I go over if it's managed this way.

its going to blow up in their faces if they didn't make it clear to every one that they only get 2 gigs, they are kinda screwed either way, if they cut people off they will be pissed... if they charge them overages they will be even more pissed off....  i have to imagine since its a "test drive" people are going to use crazy amounts of data just trying it out... should be interesting.

I wonder if Samsung realizes that a lot of people will use this to test other networks, not to find out if they want a s6 edge or other Samsung device . Don't get me wrong, the phone is nice...but I just feel people want to use it as an extremely inexpensive way of testing out a network they are considering on switching to.

That was my same thoughts. When signing up it states nothing about 2gb. I had to find that out via a rep. People are going to run crazy with the data because it's not their line.

that is %150 correct they might... might get some switchers but nothing meaningful, people who have iphones are generally invested in the eco system (itunes, app store, icloud).  same goes for android except people are not required to be brand loyal, they can easily (relatively) switch from HTC, LG, samsung, if they get any switchers i think the majority will be from other android makers.  also a side note, any one have and "edge" device?  is it useful or just a gimmick?

I have the s6 edge. I so absolutely 0 function to it. It's purely aesthetic. In fact, it makes holding the phone more difficult and distorts images and videos. Nothing too serious , but I see no functional purpose of it

me either, i was talking to a sprint store rep last time i was in... I asked him to sell me on the "edge", he had nothing to say other than its the only curved phone!      I also do not understand the benefit of a curved tv, yes the look nice but in a living room with every one at multiple viewing angles it will drive the people on the edges of the tv nuts.

I see no point either besides the cool factor. I looked at a curved TV at best buy and got dizzy just looking at it.

Funny that I am now holding my iPhone and enjoying it much more. I noticed a lot of UI lag with that edge. Even scrolling on websites is full of it. And in messages. Actually, everywhere.
