Funeral for my iPhone 6 Plus

It probably crashed from being in contact with that grotesque thinkpad.

 

[erzhik]

you made a big mistake OP.

1... accusing your phone of having a fault instead of admitting it's somehow your own bloody fault.

2... bringing up andriod. it clearly means you are paid by Samsung as a way of trying to discredit Apple.

So.. expect the wrath of Apple fanatics.

paranoid much?

 

[HelloMikee]

Shoulda used icloud. Lol.

I had the perfect intention of buying a 6 and had one of the most ridiculous experiences ever. Got told they had a few. I was asked to wait. 2 hours later and no rep to be found I asked again.

They said they'd been sold out since the morning.... And that they haven't been able to do T-Mobile jump activations all day either.

So why when I asked about my wait was my rep no where to be found?

I am glad of one thing:

I'm keeping that money I was about to spend in my pocket. Haha.

Oh and the 5c feels nice because it's a bit heftier and has a solid build to it. Plus it's blue. That's so silly but it's beautiful... Looks like I'm keeping it a while longer.

Sorry you had a bad experience like that. And I'm especially sorry you didn't get a chance to take a 6 home and give it a real try. Because for me, the 6 is the best iPhone ever. It feels just right in my hand. I did like the way the 5c felt in my hand, but I didn't like any of the colors. Would have been nice to compare notes with someone who liked the 5c. Oh well.

I'll give it some time so that perhaps this fiasco will quiet down. I'm thinking I'll try again towards the end of the year. Like after Christmas when everyone else is broke. Haha.

Yeah the blue 5c just really caught my eye. The perfectly matched tempered glass made this phone seriously beautiful.



Hey OP: Has the replacement phone been treating you well?

How did you get the front to be a matching blue? I thought the front was white?

The front is actually black. It's just tempered glass. The tempered glass has everything around the actual screen in color. They've got these for the 5s too. I've had it on here a while. Pretty much if you want to customize the face of your phone, you're more than able to do that.

Can someone share a poem, or maybe a story they shared with MareLuce's iPhone 6? May it Rest In Peace.

RIP iphone... Awwww

iPhone, iPhone you were the best.

iPhone, iPhone I expected nothing less.

iPhone, iPhone it's a shame you've gone away.

iPhone, iPhone the next better not be the same!

You need my 6' Monoprice blue lightning cable to match that phone. It perfectly matches the Apple blue silicone case for the 6+.

Hey OP: Has the replacement phone been treating you well?

Hey I think my replacement iPhone 6 plus is stable.

I did experience 1 crash to the white apple ghost. However, it was the fastest crash and reboot ever. No other crashes so far.

Now I'm just arm wrestling with iTunes.


re: How can I see a list of all apps that I have purchased or downloaded to my iPhone 5?

Why not look under the "purchased" tab on the iPhone?

What I'd like to do while using my laptop's big screen is:
1) See a list of all apps I've ever bought, including the apps icon (the icon makes me remember more than the official app title for those apps that I use only monthly or quarterly)
2) Click on the checkboxes for which ones I want installed to my new iPhone 6 plus
3) Click "Go"

Is anything close to that possible?

iPhone, iPhone the next better not be the same!

It heard you!

Does that make you feel better?

Back in kindergarten, saying things like that made some kids feel better.

 

[Technarchy]

I lost 4 days of contact changes and photos. (No, I don't store my contacts or photos on someone else's computer i.e., the cloud. I do backup once a week via iTunes.)

That's all I needed to read.

 

[MareLuce]

So you think that is related to the crash to the white Apple ghost problem?

 

[Septembersrain]

I don't know of any way to select the apps via iTunes and have them install. I've always just gone into the purchased tab and clicked all the ones I'd wanted. Then wait. LOL

If there is an easier way, I'd love to know it too!

I think that should be there somewhere. Are you using Mac or Windows?

Samsung marketing paid drones at best.

Well as someone who had the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4 (yes, I was an idiot twice) I can say Android sucks and all its bells and whistles don't mean a damn when even the simplest tasks (such as loading music on to the phone) are a pain in the butt. If I ever leave Apple again it will be to try a Windows phone (I'm on Edge so what the hell) but I will never ever ever go back to Samsung or Android.

 

[Deliro]

Oh, this is refreshing and new. An electronic item failing? Please indulge me in more. This never happens. Ever.

I'm trying to cough up some sympathy.... really, but I can't.... mostly it is a classic #firstworldproblem

iPhone 33

It was just a few months ago
In a factory by the sea
That a phone there lived whom you may know
By the name of iPhone 33
And this phone he lived with no other thought
Than to work and be used by me...

Borrowed from Poe?

 

[bigjim83]

Sounds like a Samsung commercial.

 

[farmkittie]

That's an easy question. Last year I determined the 5s was the best phone on the market. Well the best phone for me at least. As such, it was worth its premium. When you're the best there is you can charge a premium and people will pay.

This year, I think there are better phones out there, with better hardware, and more importantly, a more stable and capable OS.

This may all go to hell with Android L, which for all we know might turn out to be a disaster worse than iOS8. Maybe Apple will reinforce their phones a bit so they don't bend, and add some RAM and bump the resolution of the 6 and waterproof it. Then they'll be best again. We'll see I guess.

The Pinto was actually a pretty well made, durable and reliable car, especially in comparison to the Cavalier. It's handling, while sloppy, was at least predictable. The Cavalier handling was terrifying and completely unpredictable. The Cavalier engine was lucky to last 50,000 miles. The Cavalier drove millions to Japanese manufacturers.

The only real issue with the Pinto was that weak point in the back.

Pintos could burst into flames. Next a Samsung devotee will post on MR that their iPhone 6+ burst into flames...

Wow, Vikinguy was just making a little joke. It was cute. Nothing to incite such a mean response from you MareLuce. Jeeesh.

My brand new 128gb iPhone 6 Plus $949 + $75+ tax gave up the ghost to the white apple crash screen. Permanently.

During the first quarter of Thursday night football Colts v Texans, my iPhone 6 plus crashed to the white apple screen and would not budge:

All the previous times it crashed to the white apple, it came back within a minute or so. This time, pressing the home key did nothing.

Image

8:45pm, 15 minutes before closing, I made it to the local Apple Store. The first genius said I'd need to make a genius bar appointment. The second genius on the way out told the first genius to just exchange it.

I lost 4 days of contact changes and photos. (No, I don't store my contacts or photos on someone else's computer i.e., the cloud. I do backup once a week via iTunes.)

I now have a nice shiny new iPhone 6 plus. I did *not* restore from backup, even though I now have hundreds of iPhone apps to re-install 1 by 1. But I probably won't re-install many till I know the crashing won't start again. I'll stick with a core set and rely on my Note 2 for the rest.

This experience with the iPhone 6 Plus makes me appreciate my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 even more. First purchased in November 2012 after the Apple 5 Maps fiasco ensured I'd get lost on my next trip, it has navigated me through a dozen countries in 2 years without a single problem. Before actual experience, my perception was Android would be less stable than iOS. It has been 100% stable.

The 2 of 500+ iOS apps I haven't been able to find Android equivalents of is:
- Awesome Note - a brilliant iOS app that makes Evernote or Google Drive look great
- Period Planner - a fertility planner iOS app. I'm sure there are Android options for this, but I'd rather use the one where I have all the historical data...

I'll probably always have an iPhone of one flavor or another. But I think my short term strategy will be to rely on my Note 2 more, at least until I know the iPhone 6 plus won't keep crashing. The biggest thrill beyond the Note 2's big high res screen has been its ultrathin replaceable batteries that weigh nothing and provide another entire day of use. All without hanging a kludgy cable and charger plugged in while trying to use it. The surprise usability feature of the Note 2 is the "invisible back key" - that area of the phone to the right of the home button. You tap it and it goes back to previous screen. Great for navigating between apps. Or even within apps when the "back" button can be located in different places top left, bottom left and sometimes even top or bottom right, oddly enough.

My iPhone 5 - only use cases became simplified to phone calls, contact list, and fertility planning app. The Note 2 does everything else (GPS, tethering to my PC, + anything visual, anything else audio except for phone calls). Even with those minimal use cases, I'd land at noon at JFK and by 8:00pm ET my iPhone 5 would be dead.

Another bummer - I had Ghost Armor'd the iPhone 6 plus screen already.

Hey moron...how about HOME button plus POWER button = Reset!

Prepubescent post. No such thing as an iPhone getting stuck at an apple logo and not change after a reset.

You didn't try going into DFU mode and restoring?

Also, just curious, why so many apps? Do you really use all those? If get over 70 apps I start weeding out apps.
