unless you are saving a lot of money, i wouldnt downgrade if i were you

My current plan has 2gbs of data tho.
Sprint is offering unlimited everything for the same price

Good luck on using that unlimited everything....

if you dont get service how do you expect to get data then?

check on google for reviews in your area or forums. sprint is trash IMO

You should check your area or ask some people you know with Sprint first.

Your data speed will probably drop dramatically.

So? My accounts have never been compromised through my swiping. I personally don't feel comfortable just having my card info stored on my phone, sooner or later someone will figure out a way. Especially after I woke up with the U2 album on my phone that I didn't ask for I haven't been comfortable.

I dont think you know how applepay works 

https://www.apple.com/iphone-6/apple-pay/

Heres a snippet to give you a better understanding 

Every time you hand over your credit or debit card to pay, your card number and identity are visible. With Apple Pay, instead of using your actual credit and debit card numbers when you add your card to Passbook, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted, and securely stored in the Secure Element, a dedicated chip in iPhone. These numbers are never stored on Apple servers. And when you make a purchase, the Device Account Number, along with a transaction-specific dynamic security code, is used to process your payment. So your actual credit or debit card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants or transmitted with payment.

Dude, I'm just stating my feelings on it. Just because Apple tells me "we don't save it" I'm suppose to trust them no thanks. I'll cop one of those prepaid debits just for spending money when I'm outside and link that to ApplePay

no one gives a **** about android phones bending because no one gives a **** about android phones in general. only the nerds who have no life tinkering with the software all day care and bash anything other than the phone they use. the only reason this was blown out of proportion was because it was an apple product. you also only hear negatives on the internet, because that's what people want to read. millions of phones sold and only a few have bent.

oh, and fyi.. the note 4 bent.

new software is optimized for NEW HARDWARE. it's not really that surprising when it doesn't work as well on older hardware.

if i didn't have money to get the 6, i would have kept my iPhone 5 on iOS 7 to avoid any issues. that's what people need to do. this concept applies to ANY AND EVERY ELECTRONIC in the world.

except android, as they get 1 software update and that's it..

I agree to an extent with your post... people who jailbreak iphones can be labeled the same as some "droid tinkers"

The bend issue is silly talk and I dont see it as a major issue 

Your spot on with new software and old hardware.... its not expected to function the same as the latest 

Some people just dont understand technology and complain for no reason

I understand what you posted but what you posted is incorrect your cc number isnt stored on the phone and your not trusting Apple your trusting your bank who is on the hook for up to 120k 

Im not trying to convince you to use applepay or not to use it just that your reasoning is flawed 

So you would buy a GC to use applepay

 thats the craziest thing Ive heard in a min 

Just use cash and you wont have to waste your time and money getting a GC to use a app 

As stated in my previous post read the link so you have a better understanding 

 

[Bert.]

Apple pay is safe, end of story

if you are paranoid then you shouldnd have or use a CC period.

do you use it online? you have a better chance of your info getting stolen that way that using apple pay.

 

[nothinafta]

You not even going through apple to use apple pay , you're going through your bank to get verified

 

[imlive365]

I find it hard to believe the apple store did this. I would call apple and get that idiot fired.

They did. It was the geniuses that serve you. Didn't even think of the camera lens making it wobble. I was just standing there listing to him. My homies was getting pissed tho. Thought he wasn't gonna get a replacement.

 Applepay vs CurrentC (which is MCX answer to mobile paying)

Yes I would buy a gc to experience how ApplePay works rather than linking a card that is tied up to my bank account just in case something goes wrong. I missed the joke I made?

You're telling me something that has been out for a week is safe. You Apple fanatics are something else man.

.. I'm not going through Apple .. ok ..

Yeah put $100 on a prepaid debit from Walgreens, going to buy something from McD's tmrw why?

Joke? I missed it as well 

What you said was/is ironic that you would inconvenience yourself to use an app that is designed for convenience. The logic just doesnt make sense  

I digress tho...homie its clear your not seeing what is obvious to most but if you bank with Chase just tap your debit card on the NFC reader and you will get the same experience as apple pay minus paying the $5 gc fee

It's clear that you don't understand any regular person would probably have some questions and concerns about using the service because technology has glitches and hacks.

But yeah back on topic, anybody else cop a case from case nerd? I read some reviews they aren't too good

 

[cjdynasty]

Anyway to check order status with VZW online? I did an over the phone order for the 6+. Trying to avoid the massive hold times and incompetence of the call center. No email updates as of yet.

**edit**
Figured it out... Still an est ship date of 11/14 smdh

And again how is it going to get hacked if it's not on Apple servers?

he thinks someone will be able to go into your phone and pull your info... which you wont be able to do even yourself.

 

[iamdef]

It's funny to cite the existence of technologies glitches and still use it

 

[nothinafta]

There's absolutely NO WAY someone can use your apole pay without your consent
