    Sprint or T-Mobile..?

    I wouldn’t switch to Sprint due to their terrible customer support. At work we actually just switched to T Mobile from Sprint because of this exact point, and it was very painful and they kept on billing us for several months, claiming that we didn’t cancel the lines or service with them. I’m...

    Where can I purchase an unlocked 6s?

    Re: Where can I purchase an unlocked 6s The T-Mobile version is unlocked (at least if you pay full price, I don't know about any of the subscription plans), as well as the Verizon version. I think you can preorder either one through the Apple Store online, but if you use the iPhone app you can...

    Apple Watch Order status and shipping update - Check In

    I also got the notification today that my 42mm SS BSB shipped and will be delivered Tuesday to Hawaii. My card was charged late afternoon on Friday. Ordered on April 10th, about 2 hours after preordering started, with an estimated delivery date of May 13-27.

    Temporary Fix for overheating while charging issue

    Could this be a defective charger instead of watch? Might be worth to try charging your watch with a different charger.

    May13 to May 27

    Ordered the 42mm SS with BSB about 2 hours after preorders went live on April 10. Delivery estimate was May 13 - 27. There was initially a charge from Apple on my card for the watch, but it went away after a couple of days and no change since then. About 30 minutes ago I got a notification from...

    Apple Watch Order status and shipping update - Check In

    I ordered the same model and band (42 SS BSB) and got my confirmation email 2:05 hours after preorders went live. I actually could have ordered right on the dot (I live in Hawaii and so it was only 9pm for me), but I thought that there wasn't that much of a demand for the watches and so didn't...

    May13 to May 27

    I honestly don't understand this reaction and sarcasm. I'm assuming that you have a May 13 - 27 delivery window, since you're posting in this thread. So what's the problem? It's still 9 days to the 13th, and 23 days to the 27th... If you don't get any status update by the 25th at the latest...

    I gold plated my wife's 38mm milanese apple watch and it looks rad!

    This does look pretty awesome. Do you have any idea what the durability of the gold plating that you used is like? And what size is the one you're going to sell? I might be interested in a 42mm, but that would really depend upon the durability of the plating. If it starts to peel easily then...

    How far can the Apple Watch stay connected w/ your device?

    Does your carrier support voice over WiFi? Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not, but just an idea.

    Apple watch anonymous

    I'm going to be doing the same with the Fitbit. I got that as something temporary until the Watch was released. I like the sleep tracking and vibrating alarm, but don't really use the other functions. It seems to me that the iPhone 6 does a better job of counting steps.

    Showering with watch on?

    Water shouldn't affect the metal. Aluminum doesn't rust and neither does stainless steel. I've used regular watches with stainless steel cases for many years and never had any corrosion issues from showers or ocean water. Will I shower with this watch, once I get it? Most likely not. I...

    Turns out most people want the 6, not the 6+

    I preordered the 6+ (after I had made paper cut-outs of both versions I thought it would be nice, especially since I'm doing a lot of photography stuff) and received it on the 24th. I definitely loved the screen size and found it easier to type with both hands on it as well. However, the phone...
