Yes unfortunately Apple didn't include the 2.1amp charger ( it comes with the 1amp block) - supposedly due to packaging- although it's well known the iP6 and iP6+ are the first iPhones to officially support fast charging. I've noticed there are also many good 2nd party brands with fast charger available - both for home and auto..

Looks like China alone will likely break the record 10 million iPhones sold on opening weekend just 4 weeks ago.. http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/iphone-6-pre-orders-top-10m-in-china I edited the post and cut out some of the quote to ensure I wasn't reposting the entire article ..hopefully this is ok now since it's not subscribed website and has the link first. Thanks..

While searching apps on my iP6+ I found that iOS8 users have more keyboard options.. "Popkey" let's you send animated gifs in text or to post ...from a list of categories or your camera roll... "Fleksy" let's you change color of keyboard plus change the size of the keyboard from small medium to large and has a quick (swipe backwards) delete function Also found a great Journal program called "Day One"...It lets you record a journal while auto keeping track of your weather and location and even motion... You can insert pics and it has a timeline feature to help navigate

That only leads to more questions... Maybe they own some of be smaller companies that make "cheap" iPhone 6 cases.. They let the desperate buy those and make profit there ... Then many weeks later they bring out their case and rake in more cash... Yeah sounds like bs.. But the other reason can only be failure to bring product to market on time - which is a cash loss

I don't know whats taking Otterbox so long.. but why in the h*ll are we waiting so long for a case that should've been out 3 weeks ago? .. I'm sure they get specs in advance.. I mean many cases were out on day 1.. I got my Wife iP6+ case at bestbuy on day 3.. Ive got a cheapo on my iP6+ now protecting it some.. but I need ottterbox defender

I think they are much better now .. I cant wait to see what another year brings.. I love the HD voice. I used to wonder why I waited patiently for the NV... but now im glad i did.. no service is perfect everywhere all the time.. but just to let you know "Im keeping it real" I didnt always feel this good about Sprint

I havent had this experience here in Ohio yet with my iP6+. When i went to Florida over the summer and I had a chance to see where the towers were in relation to the map.. it seemed like the sites were maybe a bit further apart.. might be wrong.. but with it being flatter its possible Sprint spaces the towers further apart like Verizon, so to speak. Ceilluar signals go much further when its line of site.. In Ohio its hilly in comparison ...and in many places the towers are closer then I observed in Florida..switching to the nearest tower if closer could explain why B41 hasn't yet held on this way for me.. and there is a decent amount of b41 here..Again i might be wrong.. i could experience this at some point

Im still waiting for the otterbox defender for the iP6 +......

I edited my post above yours re read... Att has just as much right to call it 4g according to the ITU... Until maybe a year ago LTE wasn't even recognized as 4g by the ITU... All those techs ..wi max as well.. Were marketed 4g..

Att was the company that marketed HPSA as 4g ... And Verizon to market LTE as 4g .. And Sprint to market WiMAX as 4g.. But the organization that sets the world standards ( ITU ) didn't even recognize LTE as 4g technology till around a year ago, when they backpedaled some..admitting that all: WiMAX, LTE, and HSPA were being used to designate marketed 4g technologiies.. So ATT has just as much right to call HSPA 4g ...as LTE But speed for TRUE 4g standards were around nearly 1000 Mbs ( not a typo) http://gizmodo.com/5680755/the-dirty-secret-of-todays-4g-its-not-4g http://www.strandreports.com/sw4334.asp

The "S" stood for speed ..Thats how Jobs marketed the S model on the 3Gs... but I dont attribute it to the 3G.. There was an iPhone 3G first to show it was a 3G network phone right ? ...The iPhone 3GS had the S for the faster speedier processor.. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Apple-iPhone-3GS,Apple-iPhone-3G/phones/3774,2962 I know Tim cook said the S iPhone 4S stood for Siri ... ( I never heard them say S for sensor when labeling Apple "Touch ID" though but its possible he or someone else did ) .... Back to my first sentences - all S models have one thing in common - an incremental processor performance boost....making them faster then the non S models.. thus S for speed on all models wouldnt really be wrong.. .. but we already knew that - THANKS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS !

Our iPhones could use the range boost of 8t8r then.. when 8t8r comes does it affect all bands or just b41?

.... Oh

Although it could've been better it seems the app updates are churning out.. I'm sure over the next few weeks they'll be many more to come

I'd think if a b41 site is performing like a b25 that maybe it's still on old wiring or microwave versus the new fiber which allows the spectrum of b41 to utilize it

They didn't make the news - because they werent apple.. but anyone doing a google search shows the Sony Xperia and HTC One have forums of users complaining of bent phones. All this proves is anyone who is careless can bend any metal phone. What I found more interesting is Samsung did a Note with metal in the frame like iP6 ..

I said above 23 Gb for MS over drive.. But it says I have 30Gb of space

Never knew it existed, kinda gave up on that on my wife's last blackberry.. It took more work to transfer files from that micro sd card to the computer once I was used to the wireless wifi syncing on the iphone..now cloud takes that even further.. I use Apple free 5gb and u can pay .99 cents a month for 20Gb but why? I downloaded MS One Drive to my iP6+ and you get like 23 Gb for free (15+ another 8 as a promo).. That's where my pics were back up

Yeah read this the other day.. And although iPhones don't go on sale in China till 10/10.. I read an article around then that said 4 million reservations had been made for the iP6.. Later I beleive I found another article that claimed it was near 5 million

Sounds like a bad experience, but I've only had to go directly to the Apple store locally - where they diag and fix. My wife's iPhone 5 had the power button fall off after 8 months.. we laughed because she wore it out from facebook.. but apple replaced the phone on the spot - no charge. Then my iPhone 5c touch screen would jump all over.. touch one place and it was like you touched another.. it was 10 months old.. they diag'd it on the spot and replaced it as well no charge. Both of those were covered under basic warranty ( I had no Apple care on either ) because there was no sign that those things were my fault or hers. But I must confess I didnt think they would fix ( far from replace ) my iPhone 5c - because I had dropped it in the bathtub weeks before - it turns out the water never made it inside.. I'm sorry to hear your service experience with Apple is less then good. You should try and escalate this, perhaps writing a polite but frank email to Apple . It's too bad you couldnt take it to a local store where they do most of that plus - in my experience - they just replace 'em on the spot. I know they do screen repairs in apple stores which usually you pick up hours later.. I know this was someones fault - the screen.. but in store they diag the phone and tell you "Its just the screen" or not.. Unfortunately, what Ive found with almost any company is the level of service depends all too often on if you're dealing with someone who doesnt give a crap. And some work whatever job they do just to get by, regardless of company philosophy or protocol. Apple has alot of good people from what ive seen.. obviously I cant say it sounds good from your pov

Also mentioned above was China's cheap upstart phones are hurting Samsung in China.. the people who can't afford HTC's, Galaxies, iPhones will buy these cheap phones.. supposedly China is working on their own Android OS clone as well.. Samsung has tried twice.. Tizen is their answer to Android. Samsung would prefer to not answer to Google and control all its assets like Apple.. Tizen seems to be off to a slow start, but so was Android.. if Samsung get Tizen penetration in asian markets they can grow it over many years.. The 1st two years of Android were slow

"Seoul, South Korea – — The world’s biggest smartphone maker is suffering a financial decline in the face of intense competition from Apple Inc. and upstart Chinese brands. In a preview to earnings due out this month, Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday that its quarterly profit is estimated to have fallen to its lowest level in more than three years, dragged down by weak sales of its flagship Galaxy phones." http://www.detroitnews.com/story/business/2014/10/07/samsung-expects-year-low-profits-sales-slow/16893503/

Sorry that'll teach me to post without reading the entire post in replying to

I didn't read his entire post at the end.. My bad !!

Well you're wrong dedub... Uecker, I have my dBm showing permanent by doing the home button trick.. iPhone Signal Strength Step 1: Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call. Step 2: You'll now enter Field Test mode. You'll notice a signal strength indicator on the upper left hand corner of your screen. You can toggle between signal strength bars and a number by simply taping on it. At this point, press the home button to exit the app or if you would like the feature to be permanent, continue on. Don't worry, the process is completely reversible. Step 3: Hold down on the Power button until you see the ‘slide to power off' bar. Do NOT power off the device. Step 4: Press down on the Home button until the app closes and you return to your home screen. That's it. Even when restarting the iPhone, the signal strength can be toggled between bars and numbers. The closer your number is to zero, the stronger your signal is. The lower your number, the stronger your signal—but don't include the - sign when evaluating (so, if the signal says -60, that's better than -90). To return to the default bars permanently, follow these steps: Step 1: Dial *3001#12345#* on your iPhone then press Call. Step 2: Press on your Home Button once.
