I get this frequently (my last picture was upside down on my computer, but Instagram had no problem with a recent picture taken minutes before that). One weird fix I read online that is working for me is to open the Compass app. It goes right into a calibration screen as soon as you launch it. This fixes it for me.

I have an Otterbox Commuter for my 5C. It's cool and stuff but the neon green is getting dirty and the rubberized parts of the case are turning black from months of pocket dirt or whatever. I'm thinking of getting a new case and maybe something less bulky so I can enjoy a really slim phone. Do those Poetic Atmospheres do okay against drops, or should I suck it up and just stick with what I have? The Commuter feels like overkill since I take good care of my phone, but I need drop survival because I do drop phones.

I am really enjoying the black leather Apple case on my 6. I went caseless on my 5 and it is pretty dinged up and I'm lucky I never broke the screen (I did crack the back glass insert.)

The black leather just feels like a premium product, doesn't add much thickness, and hides the ugly back. A win all around.

This looks interesting, I will consider getting it. I wonder if it works with the regular leather Apple case for the 6+ or if it makes it to thick at the edges.

EHCIARF EMERC...
In preparation to resell my iPhone 5, I sent it away to Apple to get my broken sleep button fixed. (The issue actually started, like, a week before the iPhone 6 came out, weird.) It was eligible for the free repair. I asked if I could get the battery replaced too, even though it wasn't eligible for the freebie. I also asked if they'd be able to clean the dirt out of the lens of the camera that was causing a small speck in pictures. They said they don't clean them, they just replace parts and refurbish the phone itself. When I picked it up, they said that the battery was replaced, and I have verified that the camera is clean.

But... wait a minute, I've got a dead pixel instead. Has this always been here? Ah well, it's only one.

...or two. Or...

What the gently caress? I have over 20 dead pixels on the upper part of the screen. I've never noticed this before. Yeah, it's hard to see on such a dense pixel screen. Could it be that I'm just noticing this now because I'm looking for it? Or, along with replacing the battery and camera, did they swap out my screen for some reason? I'm sure I have the same phone, or at leas the same chassis. I have the same minor marks on the edges that I remember.

Does anyone know when the 6 will be available in the Apple stores? As in, actually walking into an Apple store and buying one.

When supply has surpassed demand by enough of an amount that the store is able to have them in stock? I'm not sure what you'd expect more than that.

Yea listen to this guy, you get like a 30 or 90 warrantee on replacement stuff. I got a new 5 shortly before my 1 year warrantee ended. The new phone started have screen blackout issues a month later outside of the 1 year and they had me covered.

When in doubt, go to the fruit stand.

I walked into the local att store on launch day and was out in 25 minutes. Depends on where you are. Just call and see what stock is like before heading out.

The battery life on the 6+ is unreal. I charge it about once every three days with moderate daily use (not much streaming, but plenty of web browsing, texting, and using apps). My old 5 would die around 2-3pm after a full night's charge.

Use this site to track availability rather than waiting in line like a pleb. I walked into a Target two weeks ago and just picked up a 6+ without any issues.

sorry if this has been discussed already. I have another year on my 5s contract. Is there a possibility Apple will keep updating its 4 inch screen iphone platform? just curious

A few pages back, but I wanted to add that the federal government (DHS at least) just switched over to the 4S from blackberry. I'd say it's highly likely they'll keep supporting all the way back to the 4S for the foreseeable future since Uncle Sam probably won't upgrade for a while. Basically the 4S got Windows XP'd by the government

Apple technically supports and will repair all models of iPhone back to the original, but that doesn't mean they will continue to offer software updates. I really wouldn't expect the 4s to get iOS 9, and I really doubt DHS will care at all as long as whatever apps (of which there's probably only a handful) they use continue to work on whatever phone they're using, which probably isn't too difficult to ensure.

Yes, as long as by "people" you mean "Apple supply chain managers" because actual supply data is likely confidential information. We don't have that information so the best guess is "when you see your store has them in stock."
