I got the NEXT plan so that I can upgrade every year which is sorta the point of all these lease programs. I ain't dishing out all this money for nothing. Payment remains the same or cheaper so it's a no brainer to me. 6-6S-7-7S and so on, flourish correctly brethren.

yeah this, I don't even want the 6S but f it if I kept the 6 then it negates the purpose of me having this type of plan

Umm.......I went to AT&T and they want 28 a month for iPhone 6s+ 64GB thinking about doing that.

how much are you paying upfront

 

[DonRafa]

$44.91 for the 128 6s+

you have to pay tax plus first month when you get the phone

the only difference between going through apple or att is the apple care+

Watch the main selling point be a mini apple pen that comes with the 7 and 7+. Steve jobs is rolling in his grave already. Man I just want some beats earbuds to come with the phone.

It's gonna be a new design of course but they gonna add maybe wireless charging like they did with the new Samsung and some more gimmicks but I'll still be coppin day 1 I'll hold on to my plus. No reason to upgrade.

 

[BukHumYai]

yup, easy as can be. I was in and out in 10 min

Do you have to be signed up for a plan first? I'm on prepaid right now...debating if I should get on a plan for this.

you have to go to the Apple Store to sign up. Has nothing to do with your carrier, so it won't affect anything

The only program that doesn't make you pay more than retail on these payment program is T-Mobile but they want your credit to be at 750+ I swear

The best thing for all of you would be to chill out and just wait a year. You don't want another bad iPhone. Wait until they clean the phone up

 

[superblytrife]

Love the added heft on the 6S+. Feels mad solid.

And damn Touch ID is quick. Hell, everything feels faster. But you can definitely see the increased speed when deleting emails....no more lag. That 2 GB of RAM is a godsend.

 

[fewtch]

I swear my 6 been laggy. If it doesnt get faster with the next update i might upgrade

 

[killthehype]

Could it be an app you just installed? Or that the memory is almost full? Because that can make the phone lag sometimes. Or happen hella apps open. Not that having too many apps open makes it laggy, but if they are constantly refreshing in the background it's a battery killer

 

[veks]

By any chance do you have low power mode enabled? You battery will be yellow if you do. I had a similar problem with my phone being laggy after the update. I read up on low power mode and that was the culprit. I shut it off, rested the phone and it's been fast. Siri is way more responsive, maps doesn't lag like before.

 

[oddandtwisted]

How do you guys prevent folks from scamming you on CL? Like when people do a payment plan with a carrier, sell the phone, and then stop paying the carrier which the carrier then blocks the IMEI

when i bought the 5s im using right now i met with him at a verizon and got the phone activated and everything then gave him the cash

 

[hennessy beach]

I work for Apple, it was a crazy day today. 

If anyone has any questions regarding financing, etc I can probably help out.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Got my 64gb space grey plus S.. This thing is way quicker than my old 6plus

 

[TheGodFresco]

Still don't know how to use the 3D Touch

 

[jaymosenvied]

Of course it's gonna be quicker. It's a new phone

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

This is done on purpose. It's called B.I.O
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

Once you upgrade that new software that's designed for a new phone your "old" phone will start having problems. Every year this happens.

 

[kdawg]

Lower/uppercase keyboard is new? How was it before? I cant even remember.

That's an iOS 9 thing. Annoyed me so I turned it off in settings.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Big jump from my S4 to this bad boy.

Currently trying to download MovieBox. Does Apple generally block this app with OS updates?

 

[picasso swerve]

Still don't know how to use the 3D Touch

For example an email or text, instead of clicking the text press and hold it for a preview, a light press should blur everything else away and a harder press with let you preview it.

 

[timelessflight]

just reserved the 6s Plus. Going to pick it up today

nah it's not really about credit score but how long you been with T Mobile

usually anybody who is a new customer has to put something down and after you're with them for a year you're good after that

 

[killthehype]

I was referring to new customers. Why would you assume current customers? They obviously wouldn't ring your credit

 

[killthehype]

Also they offer the phone plan for pay as you go but still check your credit even if you had the plan a month before.

 

[macbk]

Slowly getting used to the size difference and button the side (coming from a 5S) but I'm loving it so far. The camera is damn crisp .

Stupid question, but how do I access the Force Touch feature? *runs and hides*
