Wow. I got the same thing in gold there for $750, and I thought mine was a steal. Someone really wanted to get rid of it quick. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Damn. Isn't Detroit 20x20? You're missing out on all the LTE fun there. Time for an upgrade. Sent from my iPhone 6+

My battery life has gone to hell recently. I give up trying to make it better. Maybe a fresh install is in order this weekend. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I don't get the point of these bend tests. They prove nothing. I could probably bend my 65" led tv, but I won't. What would it prove? Sent from my iPhone 6+

Sprint is the only provider in America using TDD LTE (Spark). Everything/everyone else is FDD. Verizon's "XLTE" is just a fat swath of FDD in band 4, and T-Mobile "wideband" is the same. AT&T's largest spectrum license is (I believe) 10x10. They don't have that wide "pipe" like everyone else. Sent from my iPhone 6+

The general layout and settings usually load first. It's all the app restores that take forever. Sent from my iPhone 6+

There's a new Tapatalk update right now. It's actually not bad. They've rearranged some things, and added a "compact card" mode to save space, and added a notification tab, which unfortunately, doesn't have a "mark all as read" option. I upgraded, and was hit with 176 notifications that had to be cleared one at a time. Edit: Just a few notes: they appear to have removed the page swiping feature, which seems absolutely ridiculous to me. You have to scroll all the way down and hit the page arrow. Also, I'm getting a lag/stutter when typing occasionally. I think they're getting somewhere with this app, but we have a ways to go still. Sent from my iPhone 6+

That's Chicago's second PCS carrier, too. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I just saw a new advertisement on one of those electronic billboards near O'Hare saying: "now #1 in data at the nations busiest airport." Along with some other text that I didn't get to read because it changed advertisements while passing. Probably something like "according to RootMetrics." Sent from my iPhone 6+

If they actually did it, and did it properly, it's usually instant with a profile update. If not, give it an hour. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I knew of the FIT and Ocean, but I forgot about the RadioShack deal. Well, good for Sprint and Chicago. Sent from my iPhone 6+

http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-releases/mayor-emanuel-and-sprint-announce-more-than-300-jobs-and-major-infrastructure-investment-coming-to-chicago.htm A very interesting article. Hundreds of new cell sites, and 115 new stores. Didn't Sprint just close a ton of our stores last year? It doesn't make sense. "Chicago will be the first Sprint city upgraded to an even faster network with the deployment of LTE Advanced technologies. These faster speeds are expected to improve the performance of video and other bandwidth-intensive applications, including new generations of online gaming, virtual reality and advanced cloud services. New cell sites will be located in neighborhoods throughout the city and include the areas around Rush University Medical Center, along Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) subway routes as part of the project to upgrade the wireless network in the City’s system, and areas surrounding Garfield Park."

I doubt it's service related. I just don't understand the Chicago connection. Did they Twitter other cities, too? Sent from my iPhone 6+

Do you not live near an Apple Store? They would have swapped it out on the spot. Sent from my iPhone 6+

It looks the same to me. I don't think it's new. Sent from my iPhone 6+

I occasionally had a low volume issue, and then I discovered a fix. The Facebook app was causing some kind of interference with audio output. I'd be streaming Spotify or SiriusXM with the low volume, close Facebook, and the volume immediately returned to normal. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Video @ 60/slow-mo @ 240 is the way to go. 240 was one of the features of the 6, as the 5s is only 120 capable. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Also, I'm sure most of you know about it, but the hidden option, buried in the settings menu to record video at 60fps. The videos that come out of that option are just insanely clear and smooth. It bothers me that you can't quick toggle it by clicking "60fps" in the video record mode. You can toggle this way between 120/240fps in slow-mo mode, but Apple decided to bury the other one. This bothers me. If you're not recording in 60 (settings-photos and camera-record video at 60fps), you're really missing out. They take up more storage, but well worth it. Sent from my iPhone 6+

iPhones in general have always been the best camera phones available. I've taken photos with most of today's Android flagships, and they just don't compare. Sent from my iPhone 6+

They all have that gap. After "bend gate" was discovered, we quickly learned about "beard gate." That gap pinches the hairs off of your beard while on a phone call. I've had it happen, and it sort of hurts. Heh. Sent from my iPhone 6+

The most current version isn't actually that bad. The font is terrible, and there's wasted screen space, but it works, and doesn't crash. Sent from my iPhone 6+

Sorry to quote such an old post, but I was just browsing the Vegas thread, and came across this. When I was in Vegas in September, inside the Mirage was the best service I had on the whole trip (I didn't really leave that area for 3 days--stayed in Ballys). They might have a DAS in there. LTE was fantastic, and I didn't want to leave because Ballys was 3G/1x/roaming the entire time. Sent from my iPhone 6+

They must have been hard at work bringing the additional spark carrier online, and fixing band hand offs when someone spilled coffee on their computer. It happens. Sent from my iPhone 6+
