I want a new AppleTV! Shut up and take my money Apple! Sent from Josh's iPad mini using Tapatalk

My feed keeps dropping. I lose 2-3 minutes at a time waiting for it to load back up. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Nice iPad. Not interested. Let me know when Apple releases a touchscreen MacBook Pro. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

I am actually going to be in Vegas tomorrow for a cardiologist appointment less than an hour before the Hey Siri event starts. But the odds are too against anyone to bet in Vegas. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

So my suspicions are correct. My 6+ is factory unlocked. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

by Josh McDaniel Sprint 4G Rollout Updates Friday, September 11, 2015 - 9:45 AM MDT As most of nearly the entire world is aware, Apple announced the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, and a number of other devices earlier this week. Most notably, iPhone 6S/6S Plus debuts 3D Touch, which is an enhanced version of Force Touch on Apple Watch. However, for most S4GRU readers here, there was one burning question that was not answered in the keynote. As iPhone models have progressed on Sprint from the iPhone 5 in 2012 with Band 25 LTE to the iPhone 5S in 2013 with dual Band 25/26 LTE to the iPhone 6 in 2014 with Triband 25/26/41 LTE, Apple has oft been half to a full generation behind in supporting the latest Network Vision enhancements. Last year's iPhone 6, for example, did feature the inclusion of Band 41 LTE but not quite full compatibility with CCA/RRPP bands. And Band 41 LTE 2x CA on Android handsets was just a few months around the corner. Well, this year's iPhone 6S includes Band 12 LTE for full CCA/RRPP support and Band 41 LTE 2x CA on Sprint! Now the latest iPhone is fully up to date with all Sprint bands and current technology initiatives that are currently released. Notable Specs & Sprint Interband 2x Carrier Aggregation Yes, that's right, iPhone users now get to enjoy 2x Carrier Aggregation on the Sprint network! This will lead to a doubling in B41 performance in Sprint Spark markets that have CA deployed. Up to 150Mbps in the most ideal signal and network conditions. All you wireless enthusiasts who want to know about radio performance, read further for RF testing information. The rest of the notable specs on the new phones are listed below: A9 processor 2 GB RAM (just like iPad Air 2) 12 MP iSight (rear) camera with 4K video recording 5 MP FaceTime camera with Retina Flash and 720p video recording 7000 Series aluminum body Rose Gold color option Only 1/10 of a cm taller, wider, and thicker than last year's iPhone 6/6 Plus And now for an RF testing sidebar from S4GRU's technical editor... As always, the usual caveats about lab testing versus real world performance and uplink versus downlink apply. The figures represent my best averaged and rounded estimates of maximum uplink ERP/EIRP test results provided to the FCC OET (Office of Engineering and Technology) in the authorization filings for the device(s). These ERP/EIRP figures are specific to the A1688 and A1687 models, which are the Qualcomm Snapdragon X7 LTE (MDM9635) Category 6 and CDMA2000 equipped iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, respectively. Separate Band 30 enabled models exist for AT&T, and while those models are disclosed to use the same antenna arrays, they were RF tested separately in the authorization filings, thus may possess different ERP/EIRP figures. So, this data and analysis should not be extrapolated to cover any other iPhone 6S models. Since this article covers two different iPhone 6S models with two different antennas each, I have put together a table for easier viewing and comparison. (Click to Enlarge) To provide further analysis, the green shaded cells represent the maximum figures for each LTE band across both handsets and both antennas. As we can see, the LAT -- with one or two possibly anomalous exceptions -- is the primary antenna on both handsets, possessing greater maximum ERP/EIRP and/or higher maximum antenna gain. Both iPhone 6S sizes look to be at least good to possibly great LTE performers -- especially in their high band output. For the uninitiated, 30 dBm equals a full 1 W. Mid band is good, and low band is at least average. Hopefully, this expected solid LTE performance plays out in the real world and is not compromised by carrier bundle firmware, as some S4GRU users have reported previously. For a comparison of the two sizes, bigger, apparently, is not always better for RF. Somewhat of a surprise, the smaller iPhone 6S is the superior RF performer of the two. It generally has greater maximum ERP/EIRP and higher antenna gain -- as evidenced by the greater number of green shaded cells. Moreover, the LAT to UAT consistency is much better on the iPhone 6S, with relatively less drop off between the two antennas and always higher UAT maximum ERP/EIRP than that of the iPhone 6S Plus. This means the RF "death grip" loss on the iPhone 6S could be much smaller when it has to shift between LAT and UAT. And now for the best part, you could win a new iPhone 6S... S4GRU is in currently in the throes of a Start of Autumn Promotion to help raise money for the site. We are currently planning to raffle off a new iPhone 6S to one lucky winner who donates a minimum of $10 to support the site. All donations go toward S4GRU Sponsor status and future upgrades. However, S4GRU Membership is not required. Click on this link for more details. It's a Win-Win-Win for everyone! You get to support the leading Sprint/Wireless Enthusiast site on the internet, you get a chance to win a brand new iPhone 6S and your donations count toward Sponsor membership upgrades.

Ok. Due to other obligations, I'm unable to update on this thread for Wednesday's event. If you want, we can break it down to different sections that you each take to post on, ie Intro/iOS 9/WatchOS 2/(Mac OS X El Capitan?); iPhone; Apple TV; iPad Pro?; etc.

Well, I'm going to take the chance and get it and go add a line to my account and just put my current phone on standby and switch my Framily Plan to my new line. I can't sell my phone anywhere that requires Paypal because I have some issues with fraud claimed against me.

I know this phone isn't on the buyback list. Did you have any issues afterward with your lease price changing?

It looks to be. Check this: http://forums.imore.com/ios-9/338312-upgrade-ios-9-public-beta.html

At least I'm not alone. I just got done rebooting my phone too, and still nothing. Weird. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Anyone get an iOS 9 update notification this morning, but nothing shows up in Software Update in Settings?

Well, at least you had your phone paid for. My 6+ sale pays off my Easy Pay, so no Apple TV for me yet.

Sounds like an issue at the switch more than local towers. I hope they get it resolved soon Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Should be fixed within the week. Most call issues I have here in Nevada are fixed within 3 days Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Wow, the response from those who will help is great. I'm planning to be able to do it, but I won't know until around 9am that morning. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Who's going to volunteer as backup to do the liveblog for next Wednesday. I may or may not be available. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Looks like the next generation of iPhone could very well have a larger FaceTime camera. http://9to5mac.com/2015/08/28/iphone-6s-photos-better-camera-force-touch/

Where I was at it was 5 dots of LTE, so I know the tower was close, so it should be easy to find it. Too bad I don't have a CA capable phone. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

2 carriers of Band 41 LTE found in Henderson, NV today. Anyone in Vegas with a CA capable phone want to see if CA is enabled. Message me for location. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Thanks all 3 of you. And sbolen, individual developers do have to embrace app slimming in their app code to chop down the overall size of the apps. Apple could help that along too if they were to work with those game engine developers to allow the engine, like Unreal, to be installed on iOS. Then all games that use them would slim down dramatically too. Sent from Josh's iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk
