    If your iPhone 7 is scheduled to come on Friday, you can track it on ups.com now. Use Track By Reference and use your phone number as the Tracking Reference. Mine left Alaska today apparently is on track for Friday. Ordered through Apple and that still says it's preparing for shipment.

    I am not expecting my friday based on the original expected ship date, but i have read on other forums people having their dates moved up.

    Anyways, what case are ya'll getting for your phones? I've always rocked the otterbox commuter, its fine, but i'd like something new with decent protection.

    Apple screens are shit. Would never trade for an android but my screen has tiny nicks even though nothing else goes in that pocket and I've never dropped it.

    Is there any easy way to go to the start of a long text conversation? Tried searching certain words but that either doesn't work or I can't think of key words from early on in our conversation

    Scrolling back months would just take way too long

    Not sure you can go all the way at once, but if you tap around the top center of the screen where the time is you can jump up quickly, rather than scroll.

    After using ios10 for a couple days - Home button to unlock was annoying, but now that Im use to it - no biggie.

    Favorite feature: The widget screen to the left. Love I can quickly see my calendar layed out, weather, sports scores, mail ect.

    Least fav: They took away the feature where you swipe up, and you can control the music or podcast without going into the app. I used that all the time and now it's gone :(

    Battery life, better user experience, and just more fun

    Plus from a work experience, all our nurses are getting/have work iPhones so a big push is more mobile apps/viz/alerts. So it made sense for me to start using mine to test for programming lyfe stuff

    I thought Android batteries were supposed to be better?

    I have no intention of switching from iPhones any time soon but the battery on both my 5 and now 6 are fucking trash after about a year and a half.

    Old way is to swipe right to unlock your phone. New way is to press the home button to unlock your phone.

    It's really just getting over the muscle memory of doing it one way for so many years.

    It's also because the 6s & 7 have raise to wake so you don't even need to press the home button, which is also because the 7 doesn't really have a home button and most rumors point to next year's phone having no home button space at all.

    Now on the iPhone 7/7+ to do a 2 button reset of the phone you hold sleep/wake and volume down, instead of the home button.

    Oh, I use the fingerprint for password so I didnt have to swipe on the old unlock. Just put your finger on the home button. So it will be the same for me regardless then.

    that's the annoying part. It doesn't work that way any more unless you change the setting

    They felt that the notifications lock screen wasn't being utilized because the fingerprint scanner was so fast

    I never use Siri other than the occasional appletv search. I always wonder if it will ever be integrated enough to make me start using it.

    At the same time, I think I rarely use it because all voice command software has trouble with my accent. Or I assume that's what it is. Had to send Alexa back because she never understood me.

    Looks like I'm going to try the AT&T store in the morning. My assumption is that with the Apple Upgrade program pre-order fiasco, they had to allocate the majority of their walk-in inventory to those customers which is why the carrier stores still may have the Plus available tomorrow.

    Upon further review, I'm going to change it back because you're right about the scanner being too fast. I got to where I would purposefully use a different finger than the one I had as fingerprint unlock to push and bring up the notification screen.

    Not sure how valid Christian Today is on all things mac, but this article says Sept 20.

    Also says MBP mid 2010 and later are supported. My early 2011 MBP is still going strong and I love it. I may have to buy a new computer eventually because of the operating system is obsolete instead of the hardware crapping out on me.

    Thats pretty impressive IMO.

    Correct, it's really not much different...I've been using both ios10 and Sierra for a couple months now (all public can through the beta program) and Apple released the Golden Master for both this past weekend.

    Upgraded to iOS 10 earlier. I freaked out when my screen went black for 5 minutes after the install loading bar finished, thinking my phone was bricked. Not sure how I feel about the changes, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.
