Right now the only 64gb 6 that's showing as delivers 9/19 for me is the gold one so I don't think it's the most popular option.

The NFC chip and touchid is almost certainly more secure than current credit card implementation, banks apparently agree.

We have this argument over and over again. If you're clumsy and do dumb things with your phone get AppleCare, but it's not "mandatory" because plenty of people aren't clumsy.

Knock wood, but I haven't dropped and broken a phone ever. Paying for AppleCare every year would lose me money.

In the future, unplug cables by pulling on the plug, not the cable.

I do that and my cable isn't at some weird angle or anything and one of my cables looks like that.

My new phone is asking me for the password to an appleid for my college email address that I stopped using multiple years before the first iPhone came out.

I can't figure out what the password is and don't have access to the email account. It can't be for any apps, and my phone has no music on it but I'm guessing that's what it'd be for (I think I bought some iTunes songs a long time ago with that email).

How can I figure out what wants that password and stop this? I don't care if I lose access to whatever that is.

Does it happen to be the icloud account listed in the settings > music?

You can try iforgot.apple.com . The recovery tools are pretty good now, although unfortunately that won't help you much if you set it up long enough ago.

No, it's not there. I tried the iforgot thing but it says my birthday is wrong.

I can't figure out what this could be, I'll probably just start with a blank phone.

I deleted the wrong email in the pop up I was getting when I unlocked my phone and typed in my appleid and password. That seems to have fixed it.

No idea why it did that, hope that fixed it for good.

Doesn't it just put the appropriate pass on the lock screen?

I had my boarding passes on the lock screen while flying yesterday. Didn't need to unlock just swipe right and the pass showed.

I'd guess that the iTunes streaming service will be heavily influenced by Beats. iTunes feels like it's been falling behind and Apple paid a lot of money for Dre and Iovine's knowledge.

My wifi seems fine, also using an AirPort Extreme.

Any good iPhone 6 wallpaper sites? Is there a central list of good Notification Center widgets?

And tethering for Americans. I imagine there's lots of other cool stuff and hideous themes and poo poo.

American plans can tether now unless you're on grandfathered att unlimited plans and they'll boot you for tethering even with a jailbreak.

I'm on T-Mobile unlimited and get like 5gb of tethering data included.

In actual news, the ApplePay stuff that's leaking looks fun and cool and it makes me sad that it'll be like 3 years before it's even close to ubiquitous.

What leaked? Any links?

Just used Apple pay at the vending machine at work. Worked great, so I can confirm it works at places not listed as "Apple pay".

You can avoid contract(ual obligation)s entirely on literally every major carrier. T-Mobile has a good marketing department, but they're not doing anything different.

Nothing different except the blazing fast LTE in the Bay Area. I've got unlimited 50mbps data in my pocket for $80 a month.

When there's a CVS, Riteaid and Walgreens within a quarter mile of each other, why would you bother going to the less convenient store? I don't really understand this decision to just shut NFC off. It's going to just drive people to Walgreens because why the gently caress not? All three stores are interchangeable.

I've traditionally gone to CVS but they're pretty much next to each other here so I'll go to Walgreen's until CVS caves.

You could pay off the old phone and sell it. If it's 18 payments total you'd have $216 left to pay off on a 16gb phone and you could easily sell it for more than that.

The coating does kind of rot away. Amazon replaced kindle cables because the soft touch coating rotted off, and the Lightning cables do the same.

My frayed lightning cable was only plugged into my phone when it was laying on my nightstand and unplugged using the connector. Some of them are lovely, others aren't.
