    Why so many iPhone tear down and break tests? Who pays?

    Where do these people get all these brand new phones like iPhone 6s and then proceed to break or tear down or pour acid on the phones? I can barely afford 1 new phone and these guys open the box and bash the phone to prices. Why? And who pays for those phones?

    Issues with wifi calling AT&T from iPhone 6S To a 5

    I read that it's the wifi router and restarting the router fixes it. I had it happe to me and the other person said I sounded like I had a smoke alarm in my room.

    Siri over corrects sometimes

    It's not as much as me needing to proofread. But I watch it type what I say correctly. Only to see it back up and redo the sentence then incorrectly. Sometimes it does that to the entire sentence. I'd like it to put it in red underline and let me decide if it's right. It might have come out in...

    Siri over corrects sometimes

    Most of the time it is right, for instance if I say "I bought two sticks of gum too." It's gets that right. But sometimes especially longer sentences it types what I say correctly, but sometimes goes back and thinks it's correcting itself and it's wrong again. Is it sort of proofreading what...

    When Will VERIZON finally enable WIFI Calling on iPhone

    Wifi calling is horrible. Missed calls and loud distortions like a smoke alarm sound. I have it turned off.

    Tools for sketch not appearing, how can I get them working?

    Re: Tools for sketch not appearing I can't use notes that are shared with other devices. Only time the sketch works is for the notes that's just on my phone. I have my whole family and a wide range of devices shared that could be why. There may be a way to get it to work with sync but I have...

    Why is iOS 9 News from six days ago

    I set up all of the news channels that I was interested in in the new news app. Looking forward to following the news instead of having so many different other news apps. It's inconsistent. Now it's only showing news from six days ago and nothing newer. I've shut down the news app and restarted...

    FaceTime and phone calls showing up on second phone

    It's normal functionality for FaceTime with shared a Apple ID. It's annoying to see missed calls on mine when they were directed to my kids iPod account. I think it's a feature although I wish it could be changed.

    iPhone 6 charging port stiff and not reliable

    Hard to plug in. Almost have to force. No feeling a click when pushed in like our other. If I use the phone while it's plugged in charging it loses contact. Some cords with a shorter pin don't work. Tried cleaning but didn't want to get liquid in there. No dirt that I can see. The plug contacts...

    What's the Water Resistant Level for the Iphone 6?

    The phone will be ok submerged for a few seconds. We did that here last week. The speaker sounded tinny and the screen had rainbows for a few days. Then it dried out. Can't tell other than the water sensor.

    What iPhone 6 cases are the best?

    Re: iphone 6 cases, apple leather? Going thin I got one of those cheap TPU cases on eBay. It's clear and adds nice grip and scratch protection but minimal drop protection. But for five dollars cannot be beat.

    Fresh restore on iPhone 6 and I have over 2GB of other?

    I think it's text messages, voice messages, and all the activity on your phone that's not app picture or music related. I cleared that up and it removed a lot of that "other" space.

    iOS 8.1.1 released

    Upgraded our 6's. iPad mini one, and iPod fifth-generations. The older devices do seem zippier here. I hope Apple continues to Allow older devices instead of blocking the iOS updates. Some people especially kids with iPods cannot keep up with the hardware but still want the apps. My d friend...

    what's your ideas about the Screen Protectors for iPhone 6/6 Plus

    Screen protector is just more insurance against scratches. Makes the $700 device a bit more durable I feel.

    Will all the carriers do the nice trade-ins next year too?

    We were up for new phones and I was not sure which model to go, until I heard about the carriers doing the big trade-ins even on the 4s. I'm wondering if the carriers are going to do the same great trade-ins on the 2015 6S models. Or was that only to get people to preorder the new phones? I love...
