Mom upgraded her 32GB 5 to a 128GB Rose Gold 6S. Only did it since AT&T is canning subsidized phones this Friday.
Although the AT&T rep was an idiot and ordered us a gold one instead, now I gotta go back to the AT&T store and exchange it.

You had one job! 
128 GB? Holy moly. I would have no idea how to use all of that space.

^I picked up a space gray 64gb 6s a couple weeks ago. Had a 16gb 5. Love it. So much faster. Batter lasts MUCH longer.
The size took a little getting used to at first but now it seems like the same size my 5 was in my hand. No biggie.

Anyone having issues with group texts coming in delayed?
I sometimes get them an 45 mins to hour later. Sometimes, a day later. Others on the latest iOS 9.x have the same issue.

I had that issue before, but only if I texted with android users.
SMS/MMS/iMessage with anyone else worked fine

I figured with 4K video, it'll eat up the 64GB quick over the span of 3 years. Her 32GB 5 is already full.

Have kids, you'll get it.
As for keeping 25gb of music ON your phone...get iTunes match...keep your library on the cloud. I haven't kept physical music on my phone or computers in years. Works great.

TMo doesn't have certain streaming providers count against your data. ATT def yes. FYI, if you have no local music in your phone and are in a dead zone for data/wifi your screwed for music. I have in my SD card in my Note 4 a few "emergency" albums.

That's why I said little to no music on my phone.
And I still have unlimited data with AT&T.
Approx 15gb used per month

I've found when I reboot my phone (hold home and power) a bunch will come in at once. That makes me think it's a problem with the phone. Hopefully they fix this on the next update.

My friends with Android phones have the same issue, and I had the same issue when I had an Android too (texting iOS using in group MMS). But I never got 5, 6, 8 messages all at once.

I stream music in the car, at the gym, riding my bike...between that and ALL the web surfing I do on my phone...I hardly use 3GB/month which is nothing.

Just to clear things up.... while TMobile offers free music streaming, Binge On is for free video streaming (through 24 video service partners), not music.

Same thing with Spotify. I average like 1.50GB/month and stream more podcasts through a different app than music.

The logic is more about coverage availability not bandwidth used. A few gigs of music can go a long way when in need.

^You're lucky. Apparently my brand new LA Fitness is a damn tomb for LTE. Even the Wifi is spotty in certain areas.

Wifey wants to be able to back up her iPhone6 SMS in iMessage to the cloud in case she loses her phone, etc.
Anyone use a good app to do that?
Wait, does iCloud already back up SMS?

I wish that they would make a 15" macbook pro that didn't cost $2000. $1500 would be nice.
