How long can you really go before you figure out your phone is lost? I'd know in like 4 hours max
So 2 hours after a typical iPhone goes dead?

EddieYost said:Just deposit $66 a month into a savings account. Over the course of the year that should be enough to buy 2 nice but used iPhone 5s (How do I make 5s plural?). If everyone takes care of their really expensive phone, you have a bunch of cash at the end of the year. If the risk is really that high for family members breaking/losing there phone... maybe they don't really need the latest and greatest smartphone? *ducks
NortheasternPJ said:5.8 gb for the fucking IOS 8 update? Seriously? That's the best you can do apple? What a joke.
I thought that if you update via iTunes you do not run into this issue?NortheasternPJ said:when 80% or whatever of your phones you sell are 16gb, it's a flat out bad user experience to expect users to do that. It's only getting worse with every single update. I'm fully versed on how updates work but 5+ gb, seriously? Apple preaches itself on user experience, this is just poor.
Correct. It's only if you're trying to update the phone over wifi. If you connect to iTunes it matters not.soxhop411 said:I thought that if you update via iTunes you do not run into this issue?
Fratboy said:...and beyond that, I can't even install SwiftKey. WTF.
There's no section for third party keyboards in the keyboard section. It's almost like iOS doesn't recognize I've installed it. Whatever.
As of Wednesday's launch of iOS 8, third-party keyboards available on the App Store include TouchPal (shown here, free), Swype ($0.99), TextExpander ($4.99), Fleksy ($0.99), and SwiftKey (free).

Papelbon's Poutine said:And....my phone has completely crashed.
I backed everything up and hooked up to iTunes to do the update and after 15 minutes of downloading the package and shit, phone is now in recovery mode and after about ten attempts, cannot get it to restore. Awesome.

It is currently $15. If you pay $200 and get a 2 year contract iphone 6 your price will increase from $15 to $40.singaporesoxfan said:
This made me go back and check my bill. I have a Mobile Share Value plan on AT&T, am not using Next, and my per line price is listed as $40 a month, followed by a $25 credit for "Discount for Mobile Share Value Savings" (so in effect the per line price is still $15). Do I just have a good deal?
Why both? And do you use SwiftKey for all typing, or just one handed? It seems faster for single handed typing, but slower than double thumbs for two handed (since I can't figure out how to two-thumb swipe).Fratboy said:I have Swype and SwiftKey on my Android phone.
So I'm an idiot. I'd downloaded "SwiftKey Note" which does NOT contain the keyboard, and I can't see any of those things in the App Store. Baffling.
EDIT: And it just popped up. WOOO! SwiftKey here we go!

Statman said:Hate that iOS 8 removes your camera roll and moves all of its pictures to a messy collections page. Ugh.
The camera roll was useless - all the photos are in the Photos app. Camera roll was just a duplicate way to show them.TheShynessClinic said:
Yea, it's awful. I really hope there's a 8.0.1 release that fixes this.
Right, but the organization of those photos sucks now. That's what we're complaining about.canderson said:The camera roll was useless - all the photos are in the Photos app. Camera roll was just a duplicate way to show them.
The camera roll was a stream of unfiltered photos itself, I don't see the big deal myself. To each his own.TheShynessClinic said:Right, but the organization of those photos sucks now. That's what we're complaining about.
If you've got over 1000 photos, and only 100 are recently added, it's a pain. I have almost 3 years of photos now separated by date. It's tedious to scroll through them all to find what I want.mt8thsw9th said:Camera roll is just called "Recently Added". I'm not sure what the difference is.
Ah, that red print wasn't there the last time i looked.HriniakPosterChild said:
By 2013, however, executives within Apple began to rethink that. Internal documents from that time show that iPhone sales growth was slowing, even though the market as a whole was growing. All the growth was in the sub-$300 price range and among phones with screens bigger than 4 inches. "Consumers want what we don't have," was the title of one slide in the documents.
Another document showed that Apple's own customers placed the small screen size of the iPhone 5, 5C, and 5S among their top complaints about the devices. The iPhone's small screen size actually seemed to be a liability for Apple, not--as Jobs argued three years earlier--an advantage.

On this same note, I just checked UPS after seeing your post and my phone is now in Ontario, Ca.Yaz4Ever said:woohoo! I just refreshed my order page and my iPhones now have tracking numbers (UPS 2-day Air) next to them. I've refreshed it all day waiting for this. I saw that my card was charged on Monday, so I guess I'll be getting them on Friday. I waited until pretty late in the day on the 12th to place the order, so I wasn't expecting good news.

Do you have Verizon? I'm pretty sure they have a distribution warehouse there.
Yup. Google+ is pretty worthless except it's the best photo storage site out there.Trautwein's Degree said:The Google + auto backup is outstanding.
I feel like I must be missing a major component here. I downloaded the app for both my iPad and iPhone just now. And while it backed up all the photos on each, the following applies.bowiac said:Yup. Google+ is pretty worthless except it's the best photo storage site out there.
I don't know the answer to this, but I have witnessed neither of these behaviors. There's gotta be a setting off somewhere.Investor 11 said:I feel like I must be missing a major component here.

1) I can't see my backed up iphone photos on the iPad app and vice versa.
2)deleting a photo on the iPhone also deletes it from google+.
