My ATT buddy texted me this morning... "tons of phones, no one waiting"

Maybe I actually will be able to snag a couple!

Happy iPhoning everyone!

I can't find any reviews on the Proper cases. A bit worrisome. Anyone wanna chime in?

Construction on them looks solid. The videos on their site impressively, namely, the bike mount one.

I have one for my i5 and one for my iPad 2. Both have been excellent. I have three of the wall mounts, a hand one for the iPad, and the windshield mount for the car. Designed and executed so well it could have an Apple logo stamped on them, IMO.

Ordering two for our new phones as soon as we get them!

PS- I use the wall mounts for the iPad in the garage, in the basement next to the dartboard, and one on an under cabinet vesa mount in the kitchen. Work great!

Edit: You may find more info if you search for Wallee cases. Which is Studio Propers former name.

Does anyone else have keyboard issues on iOS 9? Mine sometimes won't appear for a few seconds.

A lot faster. Noticeably. Touch ID is faster. The 3D touch will be used a lot. I haven't played with the camera yet.

Android and iOS previously had a long press. Different than 3D touch.

While similar, long press you have to wait for the response. With 3D touch the action is immediate and based off how much pressure you put on the screen.

^Hey now this is Ramblings not 3G. Hold your tongue.

I find it hard to believe that the new phone isn't noticeably faster than last years models. That video posted above shows it's faster. Sometimes not by much but even just opening the app store was a solid 2-3 seconds faster.

But that's just simple operations. I bet under heavy load it becomes very apparent.

Good to know. That's what it was then. Learned something new today.

He was a dumbass too, who TF buys accessories from AT&T?

He could have got Amazon Prime for $67 today and spent $670 on hookers.

Anyone successfully use move to iOS yet?

Granted there were several gigs that needed to be transferred over, but my iPhone has been sick on the "moving items into place" screen for about 7 hours now.

Before that, I had to restart both phones and apps multiple times just to the two to connect.

Might just go to the Apple store and see if they can do anything

While Apple's migration solution is probably the best out there, the process is super slow. My wife's phone was on transferring photos for like 2 days.

You can call Apple, too. They're actually more helpful than the geniuses at the store for me.

I thought iOS 9 was ~ 2.5 GB smaller than iOS 8? That obviously can't be the case because if it were, I would have 2.5 GB more space on my phone... and I have no extra space after the update.

Ugh I wish I would have known how long this would take beforehand. Just realized I haven't been receiving or sending texts.

Looks like the Apple iPhone Upgrade program is difficult to get into per the macrumors forum. Some people with 700+ scores getting declined. It's a shame because I know people with ATT that want to do Apple's program vs Next.

Can't say I had that issue. I walked right in (with a reservation), got the phone, went through the steps of the Apple Upgrade program, got approved right away, and then had my laptop with me to activate and restore the 6S. Unlocked instantly and then it downloaded my data and settings via itunes. The ONLY thing I didn't like was I couldn't use Apple Pay with the Upgrade Program, was hoping to bank 10% back from Discover.
