Is that a setting I have to turn on? A finger movement?

ps, when I was referring to having to unlock 60 times a day, I was referring to typing in a pin every time someone texted me.

Still no clue how to 'delay' that process by having the phone not require a password after X amount of time..

Why are you entering your PIN to read a text? Either read it from the lock screen as suggested below oruse the fingerprint recognition to unlock the phone - it takes like a second.

You slide the message notification to the left and see an option to Reply or X (Mark as read). Sliding to the right launches the Messages app as before.

For this to work, you need Show Previews enabled in Settings -> Notifications -> Messages. Also check under Settings -> Touch ID and Passcode that "Reply with Message" is enabled.

Success in the Czech Republic using apple pay at a nfc terminal. Shame rite aid and cvs disabled nfc so people couldn't use apple pay. Also hurts Google wallet.

I said my Discover card was not supported. I didn't say this was "surprising".

And if I don't "count" my Discover card, instead of 0-for-ApplePay, I'm ?????

Thanks - I remember seeing that somewhere but glossed right over it. That can solve the top left problem, leaving only the bottom left.


I noticed while commuting the other day that all of the Android "big phone" users were 2-handing everything.

I use a big phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (and I'm waiting to order a bigger phone, the Nexus 6). I am capable of one-hand operation with it, but sometimes use two hands when it's convenient. Personally I don't have an issue with using two hands most of the time. Browsing, productivity, and game-play are best done in landscape anyway, which requires two hands on most any device. Phone and SMS/MMS are easily handled with one hand.

I just spent five days in Korea, and I thought I was going to be "hot stuff" when I showed up with my brand-new iPhone 6 Plus, which isn't due to be released there for another few days.

Then I realized that I wasn't "hot stuff" because all these Koreans with smaller hands than me (and I don't have big hands by any stretch) were using giant Samsung phones as big as my 6 Plus... :eek:

LOL I could have told you that. :p I felt very much at home in Seoul with my Note II. When I was in Hong Kong, about half the people uses Samsung, and the other half uses iPhones. That's not the case in Samsung's home turf, it was all Samsungs.

I've bought Apple-certified Lightning cables from both Amazon and Monoprice, all have performed just as well. Not a big cost savings necessarily vs. the OEM ones from Apple, but a choice in various lengths.

Amazon's have been great. I bought a few of them and have them in all the places I need them.

Actually, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus preorders in Korea are suppose to be much larger than the sale of the Note 4.

10x more according to the article I read, but it didn't break out 6 vs. 6+ sales compared to the Note 4, the article combined them. But even a worst case 50/50 split of the 6/6+ sales shows the new iPhone outselling the Note 4 by at least 5x, and that in the home market of Samsung.

From what I understand though is that Samsung capped the note 4s preorders at 30k. At least that's the spin I'm hearing...
