APPLE THREAD | Apple Event Sept. 9th 2024 10a.m. PT. | iPhone 16

he thinks someone will be able to go into your phone and pull your info... which you wont be able to do even yourself.

There's absolutely NO WAY someone can use your apole pay without your consent

i know that but hes thinking someone can hack into servers (which they arent stored on) or that they can hack your phone and take your info.

he has most likely purchased items online using a credit card or paypal so hes more vulnerable doing that than using apple pay

I wasn't directing that towards you

 

[tayeeeeezy]

Wait, i'm confused. Is there a jailbreak out right now for iOS 8.1? iphone 5s btw. lol.

 

[octobersveryown]

can someone recommend me a wood/leather case? something that looks good...minimal protection needed..

 

[picasso swerve]

if you dont get service how do you expect to get data then?

check on google for reviews in your area or forums. sprint is trash IMO

Sprint is good in the NYC area. LTE everywhere. And before you say Verizon and ATT LTE is faster well Sprint is pretty darn fast, any faster and youre just impatient as hell.

check out shophex.com

my leather case is holding up well so far.

for those of u with the regular 6..how long did it take for u to get used to it??? I was in the Apple Store and even that seemed huge..not the plus..thinking about holding out or getting 5S (currently have a 5)

my concern about getting a 5S is that after all the updates the phone might not b acting right after awhile

Saw there was but Cydia is not compatible yet.

Yes I would buy a gc to experience how ApplePay works rather than linking a card that is tied up to my bank account just in case something goes wrong. I missed the joke I made?
You're telling me something that has been out for a week is safe. You Apple fanatics are something else man.
.. I'm not going through Apple .. ok ..

Have you set up Apple pay yet??

Yeah put $100 on a prepaid debit from Walgreens, going to buy something from McD's tmrw why?

That prepaid debit card you just added cannot be traced back to that very same debit card if apple pay was hacked.

Did you know that? Prob not

Did you know that? Prob not

Ok .. and when you delete something on the Internet it's gone forever. Did you know that? Prob not

listen guys I apologize for stating I feel concerned about something involving my money let's move on

Someone had some nice ones I saw in this thread, but I like more protection. Let me see if I can find the link.

 Applepay vs CurrentC (which is MCX answer to mobile paying)

http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/25/7069863/retailers-are-disabling-nfc-readers-to-shut-out-apple-pay

This is so stupid and bound to fail, but these companies are so cheap that they don't want to pay Visa and Mastercard fees they're investing in it regardless.

Who would trust these companies with your bank account and health information? At least with a credit card, the bank insures and monitors it.

That's a bad analogy.

I get what you're saying but you are misinformed beyond belief. Apple doesn't store any data from the card, they create their own card # which is used to pay for things.

there is but it is a separate d/l... and ios 8.1 on a 5s..... kinda counter productive, all the new additions for most part wouldnt even be compatible. Might as whale had stayed on 7.xx

Thats not minimal at all

 

[computersputin]

why would you want a wooden case anyway?

 

[nyc757]

It's clear that you don't understand any regular person would probably have some questions and concerns about using the service because technology has glitches and hacks.

But yeah back on topic, anybody else cop a case from case nerd? I read some reviews they aren't too good

I get your concerned but I answered your question regarding applepay storing or using your cc info it doesnt so that shouldve remove your concern regarding that issue... but if you cant understand or grasp the concept on how the technology works then just say that and trying to circumvent fraudulent activity by buying a gc or saying Ill just swipe my own card speaks volumes on your understanding of modern banking security 

Again if you want to make a post about your concerns cool but to say its because of something that isnt true, thats just reckless

 

[johnnyredstorm]

200 bucks for a case that looks like ****? Man just donate that money instead of being foolish with it.

Ill reserve comment until it rolls out competition is always good IMO ex. I think if there was no large screen driods we wouldnt have an iphone bigger than 3.5" 

2-3% per transaction on a sale at Walmart, Target etc isnt peanuts thats serious money 

I dont know about the health piece your talking about but Ill read up on it tho and as far as the trust I use my Target debit red card a lot because at the end of the day my bank backs it

One of the major differences right now I see between the two is your information( buying habits)  MCX takes your info and sells it to 3rd party companies, while applepay doesnt

For $200 you could cut down a small tree and buy the rest of the materials to make that damn case.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Just imagine the berating Steve Jobs would give you if he saw you put that garbage on his phone.

It's Walmart complaining about it, not Sears.

http://techcrunch.com/2014/10/25/currentc/

CurrentC notes it may share info with your device maker, app store, or developer tool makers. Oddly, it will collect health data. Precise location information is used to verify you’re at the retailer where you’re making a transaction, and if you opt in it can be used for marketing or advertising.

when i first got my iphone 4 i ordered an element vapor case. thing cost me like $125+
it looked pretty nice but it basically rendered my phone useless because it cut the cell reception. i'd be lucky if i could get 1 bar with that case on. used it for a week and threw it behind my desk at work
