My wife's shows delivered, but I don't think she knows it's out there right now.  UPS came real early this morning.  Usually they don't show up until 6-7 at night

 

Edit:  Just got a pic of it, but not activating until she backs up and we figure out what to do with getting the $1 deal.

It always seems like on days like today the UPS schedule is kinda off.  Usually we get late deliveries also but the last couple of times we had iPhones delivered they came around noon.

After speaking with chat, the only way we would qualify for the 1$ deal is if we paid off the lease. At this point we already have a killer deal with our loyalty credit and the buy back credit so Im just going to stick with it. 

 

And to qualify we would've all had to been eligible for our 2 year upgrade, or had our phones paid off. Only 1 device had the 2 year upgrade. And none were paid off. So I think the loyalty credit route was a better way. 1st line was just activated on our account. He's currently setting everything up now.

Got lucky and walked into the local store this morning at 8 and snagged the last 6s Plus 64G (space grey). Had problems with the Reps getting the new promotion prices to work, but after a few calls they got it all worked out. Restoring from backup and then time to play play play!

 

Rumor: I work for a cell tower construction company and was aware of Verizon banning all service affecting work from midnight last night to Monday, but my boss told me today that Apple has demanded all carriers implement this for this weekend just to help guarantee that all iPhone 6s users would have no issues. All mighty Apple!!

We had 1 6s+ in stock earlier this morning. Sold out right away.

I got mine delivered to me at work and got it activated right away. So far I love it. Camera is awesome. Peek and pop are going to change the way I email for sure.

I'm kind of on the fence about the 6s+ though. The extra heft and size are certainly noticeable compared to my old 6. Going to give it a few days to see how I like it and go from there. Besides that I'm impressed.

 

Edit. I sound contradictory. Lol. I love it but hate it in short.

No CA that I know of around me. At work I'm on B26 so idk if I would even connect to it. To be honest I don't even know what CA would look like in the iPhone besides the higher bandwidth number and the speeds being faster.

Interested to see what my phone does for speeds when I get home. If it doubles the 45mbps I get on B41 I'll be an extremely happy man.

 

Field test doesn't fill the screen on my 6S+.

The serving cell info is most valuable one..    On the 6, the FREQ BAND INDICATOR will show what band you are on (25, 26,41).  Yours is showing 1092552756.  And with your speed, you are likely on B41 CA.  Maybe a funky number in the FREQ BAND INDICATOR indicates CA..

 

Keep your eye on that serving cell screen for us please..

 

-- EDIT - the screen I meant was "Serving Cell Info"

    • Just revisiting the RCS issue and discussing another point I find odd.  Yeah, my family and close friends and most coworkers still mostly use whats app in our chats due to the odd RCS issues.   Some have Apple phones, some Samsung.  But using Facebook Messenger or Whats App handily eliminates those issues.   But the other thing I find odd is how all the information out there states that to use the Smart View app to mirror your phone to your TV that your TV and your phone have to be on the same wifi network.  That is 100 percent untrue.  I've historically not had wifi at home and only use it in our common areas in our community or occasionally at work.  But primarily I just use my phone for everything and do not have wifi at home.  It's because I haven't needed it.  I've been using all my Samsung phones for the better part of a decade now as my entertainment center because it's simple, effective, portable and absolutely does not require a wifi connection for my TV in order to cast all the content from my phone.  I'm not sure why it is stated that it is required.  The two devices - as we all no doubt know - create a wifi direct connection between the two devices in order for smart view to work, however, no general wifi network is required at all.  Again, I've been enjoying the feature for close to a decade but I find it odd that they say that you need wifi at home to use it.  Samsung television sets, Roku TV sets, LG TV sets (I cast to all of them at work regularly, again, sans wifi) and TCL TVs are all compatible.  There are likely more but these are the ones that I regularly screen mirror to, again, without the two devices being on the same network (this is separate from the notion of creating a wifi direct connection between the 2 in order to enable the service). This is the sole reason I only buy Samsung phones.   I tried a Pixel device before the Pixel 8 (which was the first to allow display out via wired connection for streaming) but it simply did not offer the same feature.   I wonder why they say this.  It's interesting if nothing else.  
    • Yeah, I probably see it through a Washington/Oregon market lens. And maybe a little Nebraska too.  These are the only places I have monitored Tmo overlay of USC closely. Tmo has already added service on 80% of the same towers that were unique to USC just 5 years ago around here.  The 20% left are either too close to an existing Tmo site, or, probably already on Tmo's plans to collocation.  But there is one USC site on the beach where our family likes to go that I am dying for Tmo to add service.  There won't be a lot of new coverage added here. But I have not done really any review in other USC areas.  But I definitely think it's a good move. Robert
    • Found Ericsson C-band+DoD in Brooklyn. What tipped me off was when I mapped a new eNB in this area on Halloween but I didn't see any permits for a new site in the area and the sectors I mapped matched the existing site that was there. Drove by it today and sure enough it's an Ericsson C-band + DoD site, likely one of the first in the city.  This is eNB 110340, formerly eNB 115257. — — — — — Also a T-Mobile new build in Queens. The permit for this one was submitted last year as a replacement for another monopole that got demolished nearby. It must've only recently got installed because it was offline when I drove by it.
