How ? It doesn't appear to be possible on an iPhone but I do recall that on Android many years ago. May still be the case but I don't use Android as much nowadays. I also recalled that 'where' you selected to save it, be it a cloud account, a built-in app, etc, it would kinda become the default...

How in the world do people "lose" their contacts when they switch phones ? If you have an iPhone, you need an Apple ID to download apps from the App Store, so you automatically have an iCloud account. At a minimum, sync your contacts through it ! Same with Android phones, you need a Google...

Settings, Messages, Send & Receive >> I'm betting you have your phone # as well as hers listed there. Remove her #.

It just doesn't sync properly. If you delete a message on your phone, it will remain on the computer. When all devices are using iCloud, it's nice. You can have the app open on your phone and computer, delete a message or message thread on either and it will instantly vanish from the other...

I have 1.5 gb in "Messages" in iCloud. That's fine with me too as I use iCloud for very, very little (Notes sync'ing, iOS 'system' backup (only 161mb). I only am using 1.7gb out of the 5gb they give me. I will do quite a bit of messages housecleaning once this feature is fully implemented and...

I always run the beta releases on my iPhone but on my Macs I gave up. I ran into an odd behavior with multiple web browsers not working right. What it was with websites like Lowes wouldn't allow me to change my preferred store or on Amazon, it wouldn't filter car parts based on our cars. I will...

I know this will sound far-fetched and craaaaazyyyyy, but I'm going to guess ... the kid's parents 'bought' the phone ;)

That hand-off thing could certainly be handy. I'll have to look at it again and probably re-enable it. I thought that option was what made my iMac or MBA "ring" when I got a phone call on the iPhone.

Not the same, but we had a screen/digitizer replaced on our daughter's 5s and the shop called me ~40 minutes after we left to tell us it was done. I doubt they started working on it immediately and also probably "tested" it after the work was done so the actual hands-on repair time could have...

Now Apple says the $29 deal is effective immediately. That is pure damage-control now !! Now the question is, will their geniuses refuse to replace batteries on phones that they claim aren't affected ? I know that 3rd-party benchmarks don't mean anything to Apple, but CPU Dasher X says my CPU...

Sure I did. Just because it doesn't line up with your made-up number of $70/hr doesn't make your guess or my guess right or wrong.

I'm guessing Apple is breaking even at that $29 rate. Figure a battery is around $5 and around 30-45 minutes of labor ($10-15 - I've read that their techs can get up to the $20/hr range), factor in training costs, store overhead, etc, they're probably doing okay. Certainly not losing money, I'd...

Two day delivery to Apple, one day to repair, 2 days to send back ? Apple stores - not everyone has one nearby - can do them while you wait. Independent shops can as well.

Yeah, I meant the screw head would probably strip, not the threads.

If you don't have Verizon, this is of no help, but VZW will take multiple phones on trade-in towards a new phone purchase. I have already 'tested' this with my 6+, our son's Droid 2 Turbo, and my HTC M9. As long as they have batteries installed and the screens aren't broken, they'll take them. I...

Yes, get the kit with screws. Know why they include new screws ? Check the ones you removed.... They're fairly soft and if you weren't pretty careful or they weren't in too tight, you're likely to strip them. Knowing Apple, this is by design. When Apple opens phones up, I'll bet money they...

I feel the same way. I have a charging cable on my desk at work, in my car, and in my lunch bag. Plenty of charging options at home. I mean, I can't complain about this 6+ in that it does last all day easily but it is slow. I notice this all the time. I'll probably upgrade to a new phone soon...

MacRumors just did some testing on various chargers, including wireless ones, here. If I'm reading it right, a 7.5w wireless charger takes 60 minutes to go from 1% to 46%. That's not much faster than using the standard 5w wired charger that comes with the phone. Other than convenience, there's...

Slightly off-topic but many libraries offer online access to magazines like CR and others. Just log into your library account and find your way to their magazine service.... ;)

I thought it was because I use Google's keyboard (for the swipe input feature).

I wasn't referring to anyone (here) whatsoever. Just how I perceived harshness' comment in reference to a lot of people.

Many people will "defend" this non-standard resolution after the fact with a comment like, "well, I don't really use my phone to watch videos anyway, so it's not a big deal to me". Hard-core Apple fan-boys do it all the time, like.... "I never have had to charge my phone at the same time I...

From past experience, Verizon used Fedex and did require a signature. They even say "adult signature required" but our under-18-year-old daughter signed for phones one time. This is probably an unofficial policy but drivers have told me they can use their own "discretion" when it comes to...

If I'm not mistaken, the 6+ is the only iPhone to have a standard or common resolution. It is 1920x1080.

Apple just updated their test procedure to add: Input all keyboard characters in a text field to confirm the correct letter, number, symbol, etc is shown
