apples hardware running android would be a poor performance. I thought someone basically loaded android onto their IPhone 5 or something and it was a bad performance, on par with those cheap prepaid devices. Now imagine how long a device like the nexus or galaxy note 4 with IOS. It would be a smooth performance as it'd be future proof with its ram, and processor, but all in a dream.

It's cause Apple optimizes their software to run on their specific phones regardless of specs .

If there is ONE thing that I don't like about the iPhones it is that it still only has 1 GB of RAM. My gripe with it is that every time I open back up Safari it has to completely reload the current webpage (say you are browsing the web and get a text message. So you open up messaging and reply then go back to Safari). Something I never experienced with Android on my N5.

 

Not a deal breaker by any means, but a minor thing that annoys me.

OMG. I was dealing with this last night. I go on Tech websites very frequently and I'll scroll through and open the pages I wanna read in different tabs. They'll load up then when I go to read them refresh. I don't understand the whole 1GB of RAM thing.

I'm not sure what good will come out of this thread. Everyone needs to remain civil. Please be respectful. If things start going sideways, we will take the thread offline, as warranted.

Agreed.

Yeah. I don't see this thread going anywhere good... Again, I love the iPhone 6. In terms of a device, it beats anything else I have used personally. I just wish iOS was a little bit more open for developers. (Seriously, about 95% of my complaints are that we don't have a public API to create a SignalCheck clone haha )

I completely agree, I was talking to a friend about this. iPhones are literally some of the best devices out there. It's the lack of customization on the OS that makes it a problem. I kinda wish someone would invent a way to dual boot Apple's phones for it run iOS and Android lol.

I feel like this thread might go downhill quick... Anyway, as someone that has both an iPhone 6 (my current daily driver) and a Nexus 5, I miss Android immensely. iOS has the reputation of an OS that is usually bug free, but I am seeing anything but that. Lots of small issues with iOS 8 so far just like Android.

 

For me it all comes down to customization and openness. Android lets you customize things in so many ways, while iOS is so locked down. For some, being locked down is definitely a good thing, but being a software developer, I like to be able to customize my device as I see fit. The new Android commercial really sums it up for me. "Be together. Not the same."

 

Oh and SignalCheck Pro really is a no brainer. I miss that enough that I activated my old N5 on Ting just so I can have that running while in my car to look for new sites and see if the network is performing any differently (optimizations, etc).

 

To each their own though. Both OSs are definitely good. All comes down to personal preference.

Yeah I know this discussion gets people heated but I'm hoping people will keep their cool..

I completely understand your point of view. The most recent update with iOS has been very very buggy and I think that happened because, this is the first time Apple has ever opened up their software to anyone in such a big way (may not be a way to all but for them it's huge) bugs are bound to be found. I'm pretty sure iOS 8 is going to be updated at least a couple thousand times before they get all the kinks corrected.

I'm currently using an iPhone 5 and I'm getting 6 and I can understand what you mean when you say closedness. That's one reason I actually like Android L and if I wasn't so deep into Apple's OS I'd probably get a Nexus 6. In a way Android L reminds me of iOS 8 trying to be simplistic and the bright colors. I like lol.

Android wins...Signal check is all I have to say

Lol nope we have field check is basically the same thing last time I checked lol.

I'm not sure if one of these already exist I did search for one to no avail so.

Here it is the Apple v. Android debate where we can discuss our preferences of OS's and which one we feel is better.

Me personally I feel that both are in their own way good. They're equal in certain ways and but at the same time better than each other in others.

Discuss away! Lol

As much as I want a 6 Plus, I still love my 5S. It's an amazing device. The battery life for me is very good, the design is great, and it performs as if it were a brand new device. The A7 chip is truly something amazing, and it doesn't stutter at all.

I still have my 5. I love this phone and it's definitely been a fun two years having it. Apple's phones are definitely built to last. My phone runs through iOS 8 smoothly and I rarely lag. The main reason I'm upgrading to the 6 is for spark capability and for that 4.7' display. Lol it definitely caught my eye as soon as I saw it [emoji7].

Question, when did Sprint say they were going to be done rolling out LTE or even fully upgraded 3G. Legacy 3G just sucks butt Tbh

I got $353 for my 5s the day the 6 Plus came out

Not bad. I believe apple is doing a big restock of iPhone's around the end of this month beginning of next month so I'm gonna be on the lookout [emoji102][emoji102][emoji102]

sweet!!

Yeah they sure do. The 5s is worth like 320$ at the Sprint store. Apple buyback is different, they only give 180 for a 5 and I don't know how much for a 5s.

Ok looked it up. Only version available is the 128GB iphone 6 in silver and in gold.

 

They are available to pick up in the store instantly.

 

64GB is not available . Get the 128GB

 

That's what I have

I don't have $450 and some change I have 350$ and some change lol. The 128 is for power users any how I just don't need that much space.

Your best bet is calling up Sprint stores until you find one. There's plenty of options where you live.

*Off Topic* Do any of you guys know when Apple will do a full restock in sprint Stores meaning iPhone 6's 16,64,128 or do you guys know of any Sprint Stores that have the iPhone 6 64 in Stock?

Birthday in 6 days might be getting the 6 lol can't wait [emoji24][emoji24]

Actually someone found out in the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus forum that the iOS Sensorly app will map speed test results. I've tried it and now my house is a yellow dot

That's amazing. It probably was able to add mapping when iOS 8 came out with that extensibility feature.

But I think 8mbps is more than enough if you ask me.

 

Just having that consistent will take care of almost all usage that I can think of.

Even 2-5 is enough if your just browsing the Web. I sometimes even can watch Netflix with 2-5down. Truthfully it's all about consistency of Sprint can provide at least 10mbps down and 5 up then most people shouldn't complain. I truthfully don't think we need 30 and above I feel like that's just for marketing because not one of the 4 major service providers gets over 20 at all times especially Verizon.

My mom has an upgrade and my birthdays coming up, I asked her if she doesn't get her 6 by my birthday can I take her upgrade cause u have my money and im gonna trade in my 5 which is worth 233$ so hopefully I get my 6 in 2 weeks if my mom let's me. I can't wait to experience B41's sparkyness [emoji24]

Has anyone with an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus touched any B41? If so how were the speeds?

I hate that freeze. I get it too on my s5. B41 Signal is at around - 125 and nothing goes through even if I'm right under a b25 site.

That use to happen to me when I first got my iPhone. I'd have B25 1-3 bars & nothing would be loading. I never understood why.

With the NV build in NYC chugging along, hopefully things will be stabilized soon. There is still optimization that needs to be done, as the benefits of B26 have yet to be really realized, at least in my experience in Queens.

you gotta make sure they don't change it you can get the phone on easy pay and keep your old plan

Okay thanks , I'm gonna go the Sprint store and ask them how I would do it all.

yes but make sure they don't change your type of plan, when I got my lg g3 the guys at best buy were like buy it with the easy pay and switch to the new plans you will save money and upgrade every year to a new phone

So if I get Easy they're gonna change my plan to the new unlimited plans? I currently have the original Everything Unlimited Data Plan. If I do easy pay they'll take the EUDP away & put my whole family on the new unlimited plans ?

Um... Don't let them use your upgrade...

Lol I don't have a choice in the matter . [emoji19] .

Help! Can Sprint Easy Pay be used if there is no eligible upgrade available. I wanna get the iPhone 6 on my birthday next month. But there's 2 upgrades; my mom and sister are taking them. What do I do.
