I actually kind of hate the redesign right now. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I have to re-learn where everything is.

 

I do like the correct scaling though.

Dang, jumped the gun I guess.

 

Ah well, I got mine in September so now my upgrade date is slated in the same month as new releases. I'm ok with that.

 

(Also on easy pay because best buy wasn't doing the lease at the time)

well I am into my fifth week for my order. some people in the sprint forums are saying they have gotten an email saying they have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks. Sure hope that is BS. There are a lot of upset people posting on the sprint forums. I think most of them are blaming sprint for apples problems.

I actually cancelled my order and found my phone at a Best Buy, because of the delay. While the delay isn't the carriers' faults I did find it pretty silly that the phone was available for walk ins but not available for those that preordered. Apple's fulfilment of these phones is a little confusing, to say the least.

That was another concern of mines with the scaling of apps that aren't updated. How blurry are the apps?

They aren't blurry at all in my experience - just big. Here's a screenshot of Tapatalk from what I'm doing now:

 

 

Here's a screenshot from a properly scaled app:

 

 

See what I mean?

I have a iPhone 6 right now but I want a 6+. For those who have the 6+ what is your honest opinion on it both pros and cons?

It's BIG. To the point where my iPad gets little use anymore.

 

The battery is great. I regularly get 10-12 hours of usage out of it and standby is phenomenal.

 

The camera is very handy, because it's such a large device taking pics one handed needs the extra stabilisation.

 

Con: many apps still look weird on it (scaling), and interestingly when apps update to accommodate the larger size they look funny at first, because you get used to the scaled look, heh.

I'm sure this has been brought up but I find it stupid that the Target app accepts apple pay but the stores don't. Too bad they don't let you shop for everything they have in their retail stores through the app for in-store pickup, heh.

 

I can't even personally use apple pay right now (bank's expected to support it in a few weeks) but I still find CurrentC far, FAR too intrusive and if I were to only have that, cards and cash as options I'd use my card 100% of the time anyway.

Haha. Oh my god. That is just amazing.

I actually LOL'd.

 

Again, this crap is why I won't give them my personal information. Its been proven that even swiping my card could be a risk, but getting a new debit card number is a lot less of a hassle than dealing with identity fraud.

I don't see how any other system would ever beat NFC at this stage in the game, considering android devices have had it for a while and with apple's market share screaming at the top of their lungs.

 

I admit it, I downloaded CurrentC just to give it one star. I feel like a brat but hey, there's no way I'm gonna give some weird third party my SSN, date of birth and bank account information. They are out of their minds.

I have heard horror stories about them never even mailing orders to people if you order direct from them. I have a spigen case but I ordered through Amazon, fulfilled by Amazon so I got it in 2 days.

 

Any company that untrustworthy doesn't deserve my money but at least Amazon will take care of me.

How are you loving your 6+? I know this is annoying, but any notice of bending? I still haven't noticed anything on my 6 and I take it out of my case all the time.

No bending whatsoever. I have it in my back pocket more often than I should, too.

 

It is in a case at the moment, so I suppose that helps.

 

I love it except for this stupid iOS 8.0.2 random reboot bug. That's pretty annoying.

One time a guy at the Apple Store handed me a new phone for a problem I couldn't replicate in store. They usually go above and beyond; I hope they don't charge you the $322.

I've been watching our data usage on the sprint website since we started having more ubiquitous LTE. It's amazing how fast the amount of data you use goes up once you have a more stable LTE connection. I find myself hardly trying to connect to wifi when I'm out. I am at about 3 gb of LTE data usage this month, mostly from speed tests. My brother and his gf are at around 1.5 gb which is still more than it used to be for them. They used to average around 1 gb or less. This is with us all always on wifi at home too.

 

Edit: I should say, this statement which starts on the 15th? Definitely did not rack up 3 gb in 6 days of october lol.

I doubled my usage in 2 days after I got my 6+ so I totally understand. I used 1.4 gb until September 25th and by the 27th it was just over 3gb, hahahaha

I have a spigen air cushion case and a folio case at the moment that I got off of amazon for like $6. Heh. They do the job but I don't like the color of my spigen case - I bought it intending to get a silver phone and ended up with gold so now the colors just look weird together.

 

I'm waiting for lifeproof to come out with their 6+ case. I've had nothing but good experiences with them in the past and want that level of protection with that type of low-profile case.

So I will retract my comment about the gold iPhone 6/6+ saw it today at the Apple store. Pretty damn sexy and my favorite color I think. The dream I had was telling me something. Or it subconsciously made me like after seeing in the metal.

You know, I wasn't excited about the gold at first either. But when I was getting mine they had gold and gray and I prefer the white bezel so I said screw it, I'll get gold because it'll be in a case most of the time anyway so if I don't like it I'll just get an opaque case.

 

The color has grown on me. I still think the antenna lines look better on silver but the gold is subtle enough that it works. And I like the gold detail around the home button.

What storage do you have?

128gb

 

 

Sent from my shiny new iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

My battery life is pretty variable on my 6+. If I do anything graphics intensive it drains, as expected, and since I haven't even had it a week i pretty much can't put it down, haha (right now it's on the charger).

 

However, with my 5 on a day like today when I have class, it would be dead without an external battery around 3pm (I record lectures during one class and I watch Netflix in the gym), but today when I got home around 4 or so it had 68% battery. I call that a success. (Of course, when I got home I promptly killed it playing games, hahahahaha. Still got 8 hours with 18% left when I plugged it in).

I've heard October, potentially around Yosemite launch.

Really? Cool. I thought that was just continuity features from phone to Mac and SMS continuity for iPhone/iPad/Mac

Did you order online or in store thinking about getting the 128 in space gray. 2 weeks sounds way better than 4-6 weeks

Local to me there's a 128gb space gray at best buy right now. May be worth a call if you're looking at getting one a little faster.

Just ordered the 128 Gb iPhone 6 Plus in Gold with the White face.. Sprint said 2 weeks although they mentioned the iPhone 6 128 Gb would only be 4 days till ship

I have the same phone you ordered I got impatient and found it at Best Buy, hahaha.

 

I'm shocked Sprint has updated order times to 2 weeks. Their site ( sprint.com/ship ) still says 4-6 weeks for a 6+

Thanks. I know their policy. Just wanted someone to confirm by trying. So is it safe to assume that a sprint sim won't work in another carriers model?

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It might but I doubt it; however, the Sprint model has more LTE bands than the other model so I'm not sure if the other model would be the right choice for Sprint's network - the other model doesn't have B41, for example.

Not sure of this has been answered/asked in the thread but is a sprint iphone 6/+ unlocked to use a verizon/tmobile/AT&T ? And are the other models unlocked to utilize a sprint sim? I've read on other forums that a tmobile and AT&T 6/+ can use a verizon sim completely. Thanks !

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At this time sprint does not unlock iPhone models for domestic use. You can have it unlocked for international use but not for AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile.

Why in the world couldn't they return the phone and sell it back to you through Easy Pay? That seems ludicrous to me.

 

 

Sent from my shiny new iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

Which means that everyone will know where I live, because that area is dark blue. Lol

Heh.

 

It just means someone's tested in that area is all. My hexagons from my tests (that wasn't there before yesterday, so I know it's me) cover my entire neighborhood.

 

 

Sent from my shiny new iPhone 6+ using Tapatalk

So is that testing part of IOS or and app?

It's an app, RootMetrics. They have a coverage map similar to Sensorly except RootMetrics will actually allow you to add data information to the map from an iPhone.

What was your last device? If it was an iPhone 5 or <, you're probably experiencing band 26 for the first time. That, or, your local tower just turned on band 26.

 

Edit: I should have just read your profile. You had a 5. Welcome to the band 26 party!

 

Sent from my iPhone 6

Thanks, it's lovely to actually use my phone off wifi now and then. Before I moved here I had signal fine on band 25 (used to live north of Dallas, TX) but here there is a lot of 26 and just under 10 miles north of me is the border of the Sprint Spark zone so I should easily see decent signal all over the place now.

 

THIS is why I'm an early adopter of technology. It makes my life easier.
