Yeah, I've used it at Harris Teeter and CVS, neither of which is listed as supported. Only failure so far is at the NFC-equipped vending machine in my office which tries to authorize and then gives a card declined message.

Endless Mike posted:No, I'm asking why he *cares* that he can't use Apple Pay to buy apps. The only benefit it gives over just using your Apple account card is the single-use transaction tokens. Single-use transaction tokens are a pretty nice benefit, though, especially if Apple Pay expands beyond just paying Apple for apps and gets used as a wider e-commerce payments solution.

kdc67 posted:The weird bit is the lights at the top of the readers are still green at my CVS so nothing indicating that they're off. Couldn't say if they work, though, as I have a 5S. CVS still runs on 90's era Javascript, though. so what do you expect? They're software disabled - they register your phone and the transaction will even initiate (my card showed up and it gave the little check mark after touchid) but after it sits at "processing transaction" for a few seconds, it'll fail and tell you you have to use a different payment method.

Don't forget that you need a network connection to pay, since the phone is what does the actual communication/authorization of the transaction in the more common implementation.

Dr. Tim Whatley posted:Just use LTE, problem solved LTE can cause it too, just depends on the speakers. My phone (Verizon 6) definitely can cause buzz on LTE, but only through the speakerphone on my Cisco ipphone; my computer speakers don't buzz. e: While newer phones have GSM radios, if they're camped on LTE the GSM portion of the radio is turned off - they don't maintain a GSM (incl. EDGE, which is just a GSM enhancement) connection unless they can't get an LTE/UMTS signal to work.

There's almost certainly no technical reason the NFC chips in the iPhone/iPad couldn't support NFC peer-to-peer modes - it's pretty much going to be up to Apple whether they open up that functionality or not.

Something is seriously wrong with your phone - the mechanism for NFC operation physically doesn't operate at that kind of range. NFC typically returns information via load modulation (and even in active return modes, the return is done via near field modulation).

Duckman2008 posted:No, but i do use my finger to unlock my phone, so if i'm distracted while unlocking i could accidentally authorize it. I'll skip over the back and forth stupid debate and let's just say hopefully mine is an anomaly and glad others are working well. Given that yours more or less breaks the laws of physics (NFC doesn't actually operate via RF, it uses inductive coupling which physically doesn't operate beyond a limited distance) I'm pretty sure yours is an anomaly.

ShoogaSlim posted:Sleep/wake button directly opposite volume up is mildly annoying. For me it rarely has to do with taking photos but generally just locking the phone itself; sometimes I press both buttons. All of the problems people talk about make me laugh, because the iPhone 6 is one of the few products that is actually better designed for lefties than for righties. Swipe to go back, no problem. Hitting the top left corner where everyone keeps their settings tap zones? No problem. I've never accidentally hit the lock button because my hand doesn't naturally rest anywhere near it. Left handed supremacy, basically.

Drunk Orc posted:This might be a stretch but I'm not sure where to ask: is there an app for iOS that can look up people's Facebook based on facial recognition? I'm not sure how the API or whatever works on FB's end but I know they can auto detect who is who in a picture and suggest tags. I didn't see anything in the AppStore and the first few pages of Google didn't return anything promising. Facebook's API doesn't search across their entire database, it only checks in their facial templates for your friends (and possibly friend of friends.). So even if their API was publicly accessible, your use case isn't supported. You incredibly creepy gently caress.

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:Link? I've been using the TwelveSouth SurfacePad for a few months and been pretty happy with it. Never cased any phone til the 6, but it's a little too slippery without a case. The SurfacePad isn't too thick - only really holds 3 cards but that's all I wanted (ID, smarttrip, and credit card.). Holding up pretty well so far too.

noirstronaut posted:The problem with cases like this is that you just can't use it one handed. You could fold it back with two hands or do some weird wrist twist to swing it back and catch it, but all in all, it's just not built for it. It's really not that big of an issue. I have a SurfacePad for my 6 (the less bulky 12south wallet case) which I like a lot and flipping the cover out of the way one handed is pretty trivial, assuming you can't just use your other hand briefly.

LPG Giant posted:What's the current consensus on the best lightning cable? I bought 5 of those AmazonBasics ones a year ago but 3 of them are showing issues: one doesn't work at all anymore and the other two sporadically fail. I have some Anker ones. The connector is a bit bigger/thicker than the Apple ones, so it can probably cause problems for some cases, but also holds up a bit better. I need to buy some more and will probably be getting the Anker ones again.

Chinaman7000 posted:If you really like slimness, then in my experience nothing is good enough. I have not found a high quality thin iPhone wallet. They are either bulky, or poorly made and don't fit well and then fall apart. The twelvesouth SurfacePad is pretty decent. Any wallet case is going to add some bulk, but it's pretty minimal and most of it is attributable to the cards I have in it.

The Born Approx. posted:So what are my best options if I want to be able to use my phone while I'm on a 10 day trip in Europe? I have a 6 and its non-jail broken on an AT&T contract. As long as it isn't subsidy-locked, just buy a cheap prepaid SIM. You may need a new one per country depending on operators. (I think you may need to call AT&T, tell them you'll be overseas and need to remove the subsidy lock so you can use a local SIM. Verizon owners are luckier and can just use local SIMs due to spectrum auction terms requiring Verizon not to subsidy lock.)

I see people having issues with the soft touch inner plastic case peeling. For now I'm on the apple leather case and it's pretty great. TwelveSouth Surface Pad is pretty nice. Couple card slots and works as a stand.

killa-pope posted:Anybody have a cardholder case recommendation? Ideally something that uses adhesive to just stick to the back. I can't stand the way cases feel around the edge of the 6s, and don't want to deal with the bulk of a book-style wallet case. You are looking for the twelvesouth SurfacePad. I have one and its held up pretty well over the past year, and haven't had any issues with transferring it twice - adhesive still holds and the old phone doesn't have any adhesive goo stuck on it.

killa-pope posted:What is its thickness like and how well does it stay closed? It does look nice, but I'm really hoping for something more like this but secures with adhesive rather than the snap-in style. Thickness depends a bit on cards kept in it - I keep a chipped credit card, transit card, and ID in mine and it probably increases thickness by ~5 mm with the cards in (12s says 2 mm without cards which seems right). It doesn't stay closed on its own at all - not a downside to me since it's either in my pants pocket or a suit pocket and either way the pocket will prevent it from opening.

noirstronaut posted:How do people use cases that exist as folio type shits? I frequently use my phone with one hand and it looks like I can't even do that until after I've used my other hand to fold back the face of the case. Am I just SOL when it comes to getting a phone call while I'm drinking/eating something? I can open it one handed without any trouble. Grip it at the spine, thumb it open, use one finger to push the cover down and around and the phone drops into my other fingers. I am left handed which I guess might make a difference? But it seems like a rightie would just flip the cover open and use it with the cover dangling?

~Coxy posted:It's obscene that VoLTE is optional/per carrier and not a mandatory part of the spec. Cell carriers upgrade slowly in part because they're still supporting your grandmas GSM flip phone from 2003. VoLTE requires a bunch of changes to the backend equipment, so it isn't a cheap or easy upgrade for the carriers - it'll come but won't be instant.

WithoutTheFezOn posted:I'm not sure which thread to ask in, but any advice about getting a prepaid SIM for an iPhone when traveling to Europe? If he's landing in Spain, he just needs to go to any number of prepaid phone kiosks and ask for a prepaid with whatever he wants on it. 10 euros covered me for voice+data for 2 weeks, though I think I made like 3 phone calls. Pretty sure we used Spanish Orange as the carrier but I forget, I just went with whatever the kiosk dude recommended. I would bet France works the same way. Would highly recommend this route over any kind of US carrier's international plan.
