There are lots of different third party cloud services. I need the ease of use and OS implementation that Apple provides. It's just better, and the reason why I don't use android. If I want to backup my stuff, I don't want to have to do it through some other app with a separate login.

I need some help... How do you create a new topic in tapatalk? It used to be a clear + button but now it's gone.

Go to the forum you want to create the topic in, press the three dots, then "new topic."

Excellent. Good precautions to conserve battery life on apples part...at least until LTE gets as fast as wifi in most places.

Not everyone has unlimited data, so I doubt Apple will stray from this wifi uploading method.

i have the 20 gb. Got it the day it was available because I was tired of deleting photos for back ups. Now I haven't changed my iCloud settings for a while and still have plenty of iCloud space.

 

As for the beta photo library. How does that impact your battery? I take a lot of pictures, and I would hate to be in one of the less good areas here for service and have my battery drain 5% as it tries to upload a gigantic photo over slow LTE or 3G..... Especially if I take a lot of them at a time, which I often do. I think I had some 70 pics by the time I got off the safari ride at Disneys animal kingdom lol.

Photos and videos only upload on wifi. So if you're out, and take 30 pictures, you'll notice it says something along the lines of "30 photos to upload. Waiting for wifi connection." I also love it because it keeps everything in the right folders (if you use folders). It restores to an exact copy which is great because just adding the photos to the iCloud backup never did that.

I use that for my photos. It's incredibly convenient and easy. I'm obsessed with having things backed up. It's also nice that it stores a smaller version of it on your phone which takes up much less space. When you open it, it downloads the full version. And, you can't beat 20gb for $1/month.

I just hit 1% and I'm at 11.5 hours usage, 24 hours standby. I don't think I've ever had a phone last for a day with moderate use. I was worried earlier when I was around 50%, but that last half held on for me.

United Airlines to purchase 23,000 iPhone 6 plus' for flight attendants in 2Q 2015. Pretty neat.

What would be considered good battery life on the 6+? It seems to drop 1% every few minutes while using, with a good standby time. Am I expecting too much? This is my phone right now at 50%. Thoughts?

I might switch over to the 2/100 offer, looks interesting. I wonder if the non lte data is also unlimited? i.e. is there a cap on 3.5g ?

There is never a cap on the throttled data. That's how T-Mobile gets away with calling most of their plans "unlimited."

Now I want one. Wahhhhhh

It was only an $80 upgrade for a bigger phone and double the memory. It was almost foolish not to do it.

I would also like to gripe a little about the slow developers. We're just about at the three month mark, and I still have too many apps that I use daily that aren't optimized, and they look so much worse on the plus than the regular 6; almost cartoonish.

Sent from my iPhone 6+

Yeah, so this iPhone 6 plus is awesome. I'll definitely be able to get used to the size, although I'm pretty sure I have arthritis in my hand after only a few hours of use.

Nope.

 

Just bug fixes

Carrier bundle still 18.0?

Sent from my iPhone 6+

I have the regular 6 but I just bought the 6+ and I love it (should have gotten it from the beginning) this phone feels more like a upgrade from the 5s. Anywho, I went to Apple and bought their silicon case which I really like when I also have a spigen case with the built in kickstand. I like that case also but it makes the phone look bigger and I hate that have to dig to get access to the ringer/silent switch. So what cases do people on here recommend who have the 6+?

 

 

Sent from my iPhone 6+

I've done the same thing. My plus comes in the mail tomorrow. Funny thing is, I bought that Spigen case with the kickstand, too. I also bought the Spigen thin air gunmetal, and the glas.tr screen protector. I hate cases, but I like the kickstand idea since I'll be enjoying media more on this monster of a phone. I'll probably use the thin case more often since it seems pretty bulky.

Haha. I only saw that you sold your iPhone in the notification and I was like NOOOOOO. Don't leave us.

 

This deal!

Nah, I'm iPhone forever. I've dabbled on that other side a couple of times, and only because of band 41.

You get headlines like this, "FCC speeds up pace of AWS-3 auction, now with more than $41B in bids", for a reason.

So, unless leap sells the adjacent AWS D-block, T-Mobile will be stuck at 10x10 here?

Sent from my iPhone 6

Can't they eliminate hspa from aws and expand LTE? T-Mobile is usually on top of making things happen with their network, and it's been 10x10 here since I think July 2013. Maybe it's not possible to refarm anymore spectrum here.

Sent from my iPhone 6

Forget they run HSPA+ in AWS as well?

Sent from my iPhone 6

Last I checked a few months ago they were 10x10. The highest I've seen is 45 Mbps. Do you have any data that it's 15x15? I confirmed 10x10 back in August when my friend was using T-Mobile on her GS3. and I normally see around 15-30 mbps on average, which seems to be on par with B41 where backhaul isn't turned up.

Oh, wow. You're right. For some reason, I was under the impression that we were 15x15. But I thought tmo in Chicago has 30mhz of aws?

FINALLY after MONTHS of waiting I saw workers in a bucket lift adding RRH's to their site on the water tower by my house. I'm excited to FINALLY get strong LTE signal and do an apples to apples comparison with Sprint from the comfort of my own home.

I've been testing T-Mobile for the last 3 weeks on a $30 prepaid sim in a cheapo Samsung Galaxy Light. Speeds are, for the most part, solid. I don't see these speedtests everyone posts over on HoFo. We're a 15x15mhz market, and the fastest I've seen during that time (and believe me, all I'm doing is hammering speedtests) is 43/17 a few times. Is that average? Is it the phone or that fact that I'm prepaid? T-Mobile tech support is claiming that they no longer prioritize postpaid over prepaid when a tower is congested. I wonder if an iPhone 6 would perform better.

I am with you on that vince, Whoever comes up with the funniest one. If they aren't a sponsored member, I will pay for them to become one. If they are sponsored member. I will put money towards helping them get closer to achieving premier membership, if they are premier member. I will put money into fund that helps people who can't afford to become a sponsor right now. Either way, It is a win win all around for the site and possibility one member

Can anyone explain to me why in the heck you would need a 20+ megapixel camera? Wouldn't that result in a really big file for each photo taken.

 

TS

Because, the higher the number, the better the phone will sell. If manufacturers could stick a 50mp camera in a phone, they would. People think more is all that's required to make a camera better. Which is why the iPhone camera that blows the doors off almost all mobile cameras gets slammed for only being 8mp.

I love the iPhone without a case also. I still haven't gotten to the point where I want to take my case off yet though lol.

It's hard to get used to. I personally hate the rounded edges. I miss those sharp, chamfered edges that provided nice grip on the 5/5s
