Please do this. This is really the biggest reason I have an iPhone. Being able to stop by an apple store and get a fresh phone is completely worth the price.

Maybe they get to actually book every iTunes user as a sale this way.

Prince did the same thing a few years back when he gave a free copy of his album with every concert ticket. Skyrocketed his Billboard listing, supposedly.

I have a iphone 5 from like a month or two after in came out and still have 7.5 gigs of available space. I have 2 gigs of pictures and .5 gigs of text messages and a couple random apps. 16 gigs is pretty sweet for me, no games/music/podcasts. I bet there are a lot of people out there like me, the 64/128 bump seems like one hell of a deal don't know why people are so upset. I surf the web, text, and listen to pandora and check email for work/personal life, the only things I use my phone for really.

I'm the same way, I just delete the apps I tried once and never use again, and use iTunes Match for music, Plex for video, and Dropbox for photo storage.

Also phonearena is reporting that the 6+ has 1GB of RAM, so that rumor was wrong.

A phone that will have dozens just sitting on the shelf in about a month.

Though I guess if they're upgrading from a 4S or something I could understand the excitement of being able to swap a brick for something sexy.

I wasn't able to get an iPhone 5 off the shelf for a long time after it was released. I think I was finally able to get mine 2 months after they were out, and only because I was standing right right there when the 24 hour hold period for someone's preorder expired.

So hey, my wife dropped her 2 week old iPhone 6 on the ground and the screen shattered. Luckily we live close to an Apple Store and got the screen fixed for 109 in just under an hour.

The last time I broke a screen was for my Sidekick 3, and was told to basically gently caress off and buy a new phone. It's pretty awesome to be able to do that for a cell phone these days and get it fixed pretty god drat quick.

Did you have Applecare? 109 seems incredibly cheap to fix.

Nope. Applecare is $79 to replace the screen of a 6.

edit: Apple Support link:
https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/

quote:

Screen Damage

Accidents happen. Sometimes a screen can get cracked or shattered. We’re here to help.

Request iPhone service

You can mail us your iPhone, make an appointment with a Genius at an Apple Retail Store, or click or tap below to start a service request and see more service options.

How long will it take?

Service at an Apple Retail Store is normally completed on the day of your appointment. If you send in your iPhone for service, you’ll receive a replacement or your repaired iPhone in three to five business days. A replacement iPhone will be new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability.

How much does iPhone screen repair cost?

Repair and replacement costs depend on your iPhone model and your AppleCare coverage.

When you request screen repair online or by phone, Apple will place an authorization on your credit card to cover the iPhone out-of-warranty cost. We’ll charge this amount if your iPhone has additional damage and is eligible for out-of-warranty service. If your iPhone has no damage other than the screen, we’ll charge the amount below. Learn more.

iPhone 6: $109
iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5: $129
Plus a $6.95 shipping fee. Fees are in USD and exclude local tax. Pricing applies only to screen repair by Apple. Accidental damage isn’t covered under the Apple One Year Limited Warranty.
Have AppleCare+?

AppleCare+ covers two incidents of accidental damage with a $79 service fee. You can also use our Express Replacement Service to get a replacement even before sending us your iPhone. You can check if you have AppleCare+ by entering your iPhone serial number.

Make sure you back up your iPhone before you send it to Apple or bring it to an Apple Retail Store.

Any recommendations on a good double din iphone 6 compatible stereo for my old hooptie? I have one but it's probably 8+ years old now. I'd like to be able to plug in my phone to charge and be able to use it for spotify, etc. I guess I don't really need bluetooth since I can just charge it through the device, ideally. If it could display apple maps on the screen instead of it's own GPS that would be cool too. Also being able to hook up my old ipod would be cool.


I'd like to just find one I like and buy it through a local vendor so I can both support them and not have them gauge me on worker fees. (Would like it professionally installed) or I may just buy it online and have someone on craigslist do it.



I bought this with a double din box thing from crutchfield for like 70 bucks with the harness, and it works great. iTunes/Pandora/IHeartRadio controls from the head unit through USB, or you can use a 1/8" audio cable for other devices. No map screen, but I just bought a cradle for my dash and it works for me.

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-jKgW6LyW0hb/p_105KDX210/JVC-KD-X210.html

I never installed a head unit before, but I did this one myself and it works great. Not much to gently caress up, honestly.

Got a weird question for you all.

My father passed away a couple weeks ago, and had an iPhone 4S running at least 8.0 on it at the time. He had a passcode on the phone, and my mother would like to get into the phone to get his pictures and other things. I've already spoken with Apple, who said they were unable to remove the code without restoring the phone, and he wasn't the sort to sync his phone to his computer much, if at all.

Would there be a way to remove the passcode through iTunes if I plugged it in to his computer? Or even another way to just break into it?

This exact scenario happened to me a year and a half ago. My father-in-law passed away and we could never get into his phone or back up. Unless you have the password you will never get into it, sorry.

Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I called the Apple Support line, and even with a Death Certificate the only way they'll do it is with a court order.

Sucks. :(

The next time I'm at their house I'll plug it in to his computer to try it, but it's probably hopeless.

That would be a factory issue usually and they should replace it free.
