Anything I should worry about when purchasing someone's upgrade?

Although I see you already made your decision, here's my two cents.

The main thing would be to prevent any issues with the provider giving you access to the phone to use. Just meet the person at one of the stores have the associate check and make sure the phone doesn't have a balance on it's bill and give you the thumbs up.

My lil cousin just got jipped by a dude who sold him his old phone but his cell phone bill was still outstading so of course the phone works but can't activate it anywhere

All my contacts have just been mysteriously deleted

Try signing out of iCloud, then signing back in.

Can you upload photos on icloud.com then download them on your phone?

Anyone have a updated link for Moviebox

Guys I'm torn. I first had the 6 then switched to a 6plus. I absolutely love the plus.but.... The daily carrying around is starting to make me want to go back. The better screen, battery & camera are def pros that outweighs the con but it's a very big con. Putting it in my pocket, I work in construction so having an otter box defender is :x I just don't know what to do. I love watching movies/videos, surfing the web, playing madden but lugging this thing around annoys me. I wanna keep it badly but I feel like I'm going to go back. Why Apple had to drop two jawns

Finally put the phone in my pocket while working and can feel the difference compared to the Galaxy s3 I am paranoid it's gonna bend

Due to some circumstances I haven't had a phone in months.  But I'm finally getting a phone as I would need it.  I'm thinking about getting the regular 6 mainly because I've always been with apple and its easier to use.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase one below retail?

Either contract it out (for retail) or doubtful

Im in the same boat. My friend has a 6 and it feels so dam small to me after getting use to the size of the +. Definitely a hard decision.

Man these phones are trash.. the screen of my 6 has so many scratches on it isnt even funny... Only had the phone since the end of october too.

LOL

Man faulty battery is an understatement compared to how terrible this phone's battery is. Literally cuts off whenever it wants. Gonna get it fixed/replaced tomorrow night. Wonder if they let me upgrade for a lil extra

 

[ggarvinxx3]

What's the latest way to jailbreak your iPhone 6 plus?

Thinking about finally getting loose with this big boy

 

[Sancheeeto]

Updated to 8.1.2 and jail broke, battery life improved some. May have been a tweak or the iOS version itself

My job has a really crappy signal also

Had mine since release. Not a single scratch or crack on mine

 

[brandon3000]

went with two cases from casemate ($10/each thank you ebay) and I really like them. Only concern is the bottom flap keeps getting worn a bit.... other than that tho i love the phone and the cases. the 6 plus is a beast but you get used to it.

It's not the phone, it's you 

 

[Tigron]

Nah I noticed that this screen is pretty frail. Had my htc m8 for roughly the same time with a cheaper case and there are only scratches on the iPhone

 

[carver]

My screen is tore up and I always have my phone solo in my right pocket

 

[kidkidd]

Battery life on my 6 plus is A1, glad I made the right choice. As for the screen issue you fellas got.. Definitely gots to have a screen protector B

 

[coldcity]

Definitely gots to have a screen protector B

Do you guys think I should update my Iphone5 to ios8? I've been putting it off for the longest since I heard it makes the phone extremely laggy. Anybody else using ios8 with an Iphone 5 that can chime in?

 

[grimeyy]

Finally got my 2nd replacement phone from Apple - lock button wasn't super responsive.

The genius gave me a hard time, stating that nothing was wrong with my button. After going back and forth, he decided to get a second opinion and decided to swap my phone

I'd stick with iOS 7.1.2 or whatever it is that was running perfectly fine tbh
