So it's just a normal thing then, good to know. 1GB sounds a bit much though, especially after I've restored it as a fresh device and only syncing contacts from iCloud.

When it prevents simple app updates on a 32gb phone it requires some attention.



"Apps" is mainly Downcast and Spotify offline sync, so that's not what's in "Other"

Not listing what "Other" means without resorting to 3rd party software cleaners is poo poo.

Since I can't find a dedicated iOS8 thread I'll ask here.
I'm trying to save a few pages to the reading list so I can view them offline while on a plane. It works but the articles always disappear from the list right after I first view them offline. Is there a way to keep the articles in the reading list until I manually delete them?

Hit "show all" in the lower right corner. It will show you the articles you've "read" and you can delete them from there if you'd like.

I must be completely blind but I don't see a spot to put in a discount code? Trying to order the cable via my iPhone at work so not sure if it's an issue with Safari.

The Anandtech review of the 6 is up.

http://anandtech.com/show/8554/the-iphone-6-review

I decided to jump ship from Android this year mainly on the basis of the camera. The S5/G3 both had good-ish cameras but then you're stuck with a crap OEM skin and slow updates. The Moto X has got minimal skinning and fast updates, but a mediocre camera. Never want to touch another HTC again after the Thunderbolt, and no Nexus for me because I'm on Verizon.

Based on the camera comparisons here and my brief experiences so far over the last week of owning the 6, I'm pretty pleased with my decision.

Is there any way to temporarily stop notifications from appearing on a screen?

My wife takes the iPad to class and she keeps getting banners from iMessage and mailbox, which is annoying for her. Is that what the "silence notifications" always (versus when locked) in do not disturb does?

So why does the messages app allow you to enable DND for specific conversations, yet still allows every notification from that conversation to come through like normal? How do you make that feature actually work?

There doesn't seem to be an iOS thread so I'll ask this here: has the iOS 8 podcast app broken chapter breaks in music podcasts for anyone else? Before 8, some music podcasts had chapter breaks and a dynamic image that would change depending on where you were in the podcast. Now chapter breaks are gone and only have a static image.

It may be the app, or the podcast maybe?. I just tried it out with the Podcast app in Drabblecast on my 5S 8.0.2. Chapters and dynamic images worked fine.

I'm 90% positive I'm keeping my Plus, but I'm curious how it works if I decide to exchange it for a 6. I bought it from Apple online using Bill Me Later/PayPal Credit. I don't believe they do Bill Me Later in store, so I'm curious if that complicates things.

It says "no incoming calls or messages will be silenced" and then it keeps buzzing at me when I get a text message.

Maybe what I want is impossible? Basically at work if my phone rings I want it to vibrate, but I don't want vibration for any other alert.

I'd almost go with a 5 instead, although you can find the 5S for less than $350 now. Regular iPhone 5 is going around $200-300

Not that any of what I'm about to ask for help with is incredible important to me but I'm still very curious.

I haven't been a frequent Starbucks drinker since probably my iPhone 4 when I was using the app regularly. Now on my 6 with iOS 8 I've redownloaded the app and loaded some money into my digital card, etc. However, nothing pops up when I'm near my local Starbucks (I'm inside of it right now, actually). Isn't iBeacon or Passbook supposed to appear on the lock screen when I'm nearby? I just want these cool features on my cool new phone but it's not working I think I might stomp my feet.

My wife got a six and I got a six plus and we've noticed that I ALWAYS see those lock screen deals and she only SOMETIMES does.

(Not attributing it to the different models, just saying we both are on new devices that support that and it has been a little shoddy for her.)

I'm pretty sure Passbook requires you to set some favorite locations that it will pop up in, but that may have changed for iOS 8. I haven't really used it, though, since the one I go to most is in my building, and it would just keep the card on the screen all day, which was annoying.

I thought there was that new iBeacon thing that was supposed to just put the app logo in the corner of your lock screen rather than showing up as a notification via location services. I live around the corner from my local Starbucks and also work upstairs from it and I was similarly annoyed at having the notification on my lock screen at all times.

Permissions are all there. Redownloaded the app. Nothing. Whatever.

It's never worked for my grocery store reward card, I just assumed that the developers didn't bother adding store locations to the entry. I can't find a setting anywhere to make it work.

Compared to boarding passes, which just magically pop up an hour before I need them, it's pretty dumb.

At least with Starbucks I think you still have to set a list of "favorite stores" that represent Passbook geofence triggers.

I've only had the Passbook card show up on the lock screen when I'm in a Starbucks if it was one on the list, even on iOS 8.

A Passbook pass can only have ten different geofence triggers associated with it.

You have to set a favorite store location in the starbucks app, and then make sure you update your starbucks card inside passbook. The passbook card should have a "favorite stores" section.

This is the correct answer, apparently. After adding my local store as a favorite in the app it shows "Your Starbucks Card will appear on the lock screen when you arrive" and now in Passbook the option to "Show On Lock Screen" is on.

Although even after doing all that and even restarting my phone - jack poo poo shows up on my lock screen :shrug:
