This happened to any of yall plus dudes yet?

 

[Stay Lowkey]

The 6+ wasn't made for pockets...

skinny jean wearers are the ones that have the pocket problem ....

Skinny jean owners be like this:

I guess #NTDenim finally gets to flourish

6 plus bending? Lol damn. I thought this guys phone today in class was bent like crazy until I realized the design of the phone was curved :x

I don't understand how this even happens. How do you bend a unibody frame without the display cracking. I know the display is its own panel but it how the hell does it continue to sit flush with the device if you just bent the damn frame.

 

[Fong$tarr]

If there is any bending of the phone, Apple will take care of that with the quickness under their 1 year warranty. Of course they'd have to have your phone in stock but I'd just learn to not put your phone in situations where it can happen ie skinny jeans.

We need Ben Baller to start passing out LRG phone cases like back in the days.

So what is the best way to insure the iPhone? Do you buy insurance through Apple or AT&T?

 

[Bert.]

dont think apple warranty will cover that since the bending is the users fault

check macrumors forums for stories on the 5/5S

happened to plenty of people and went to get a new phone and got turned down

 

[brewc1ty]

Anyone get the white silicone case? I want to cop but afraid it'll change colors after awhile

If I'm buying a 5S off CL is it necessay to activate it at Verizon to put my number on it? Says itll work for verizon, t-mobile, or att

My understanding of CDMA and GSM networks is you can only use a phone on the network it was setup for.

So a ATT/TMO phone wont work on a Sprint/Verizon network unless this was changed with the 5/5S.

To anyone who traded their phone into AT&T, did they give you cash or a promo card? They have me $200 for my 5 on a promo card. I really just wanted to put the credit towards the purchase of my phone, but ended up paying outright for my 128gb 6+. Gonna use the promo card to pay my bill for this month and just use the cash I normally pay my wireless bill with towards my CC bill. Sorry, that was a lot but I'm curious as to whether that happened to anyone else.

Dudes jeans had to be extra tight or he was bending down causing that to happen.

Using the iPad charger to charge your phone, idk sounds like it will deteriorate the battery faster.

I had a white silicone case yrs ago (not Apple branded case tho)... it didnt change color but got dirty... I suggest a different color that will mask the dirt better

 

[brewc1ty]

"Black" (charcoal) apple silicone case

 

[jkballer5]

My pre-order the 6 and 6 plus at RadioShack STILL hasn't come in. I can understand the 6 plus, but they can't even tell me where my 6 is :x

 

[richiemcfly]

Black Otterbox commuter.

Plan to pick up a leather one at some point too so I can go old man status and rock on the belt on occasion.

I'd do Apple unless you're concerned about losing it. ATT is 7 a month plus 100 deductible. Apple care is 100 with 2 80 deductibles. Apple is always easier to deal with imo so I'd go with them. Think I'll be adding it this weekend.

Nope ... Any phone I've had (not just this 6+) before I sit down I always take it out of my pocket.

In the car, as I open the door to sit down I take it out of my pocket and set it in the cup holder. When I get to my desk at work I take it out of my pocket before I sit. When I get home I take it out of my pocket before I sit on the couch.

Now for this instance I will say that this phone is a little big to be sitting with it in your pocket.

After reading that I will be sure to never leave it in my pocket while sitting. Sucks that happened to them ... So does Apple care cover that
