[yjaybrooks]

They already selling the 6 plus for cheap it's just four months old

 

[Fozz]

The 6 space grey 64gb

Nicely done.

 

[thatmartiankid]

walmart has the iPhone 6 and 6+ at 500 and 600 but they are refurbished.  Would it be okay getting the refurbished or getting something thats new or used?

 

[thatmartiankid]

can any brethren help me out before I pull a trigger I shouldn't.

 

[chichiloves5s]

Anyone else's plus completely unresponsive at times? Touch ID works when it wants to. Restarting the phone works momentarily but eventually I end up stabbing at the screen per usual

 

[wes1erthegunner]

Is there a way to make chrome my default browser? Just got an iPhone a few days ago for the first time. Loved it after 6 hours or so.

You guise use hype machine?

a tweak called browser changer

 

[mplsdunk]

Is jailbreak worth it? I'm new to iPhones.

Edit, I'm good. Thanks though I'll just keep it stock.

 

[yjaybrooks]

Jailbreaking cool

 

[djaygotsole]

What yall think they'll do this year? An iPhone 6s & 6+s or straight to 7? I feel if they do an s line, the 6s will just get the options the 6+ had and the 6+s will get the overhaul

 

[yjaybrooks]

6s plus will get 2 gigs of ram maybe 10 focus pixels on the camera faster processor

go to setting on your phone. under messages, theres a "text message forwarding" option. go into that menu and you can select other devices like your mackbook

Not worth it in my opinion. You pay $11 a month just to pay a $200 deductible for a referbished phone. Depending on the plan you get it may exclude water damage. Apple care is the better option for iPhones.

 

[s dubl]

Only problem with Apple care, is if you lose your phone or it gets stolen, you're not covered.

True. It just doesn't seem worth it over the life of the phone. Find my iPhone kinda helps with the lost issue

 

[shogun]

I never got insurance on any phones before but I'm trying out that $11 protection plan for verizon. I already dropped my phone last week, it wasn't damaged. I'm not using a case on it. You can cancel the plan any time though.

 

[frenchbreadbuilds]

I'd much rather get a phone referbished from Apple. Before I was team iPhone I had version asurion insurance on my phones and every referb I got was worse than the last.

thanks for the input fellas
