LOL at $160 US ear buds that really cost them $15 to make. A bit like how they did a dissecting of beats headphones not long ago and it was revealed it was garbage $12 parts in them and they were selling it for $200.

Apple ear buds have always been garbage its widely known by the audio community, this is why people resort to real brand name quality stuff with German or Japanese Engineering like Sennheiser, Denon, AKG, Audiotechnica.

They go buss with the, pricey lostful earphones

[Swisha]

Still confused by the T-Mobile unlocked version and the sim free version though.

Only seeing the T-Mobile unlocked version available for preorder and they're saying u would need to activate it in store or through T-Mobile.

When I bought my iPhone 6 it was the same T-Mobile unlocked version that came with the sim card and if I remember correctly I simply did a restore in iTunes and put my Digicel sim card in. No activation was required...

Anyone can confirm this. Did anyone buy the T-Mobile unlocked 6s that came with the sim and was able to activate it without problems?

these aren't audiophile headphones and are not meant to be

these are a show of tech. the W1 processor will be a predecessor of smarter and better tech using the Wx processor platform.
It's about data transfer, smart device, speech, speech recognition, motion, usage, ergonomics, noise cancelling, directional mic, battery etc - a whole lot of new tech in there that has nothing to do with sound quality.

Once you paying the $694 price you should be good to go
Every year these same questions arise,

Yeah cos Apple like to confuse ppl every year

[pugboy]

I have bought a variety of ways in the past,
As I said once you pay the $694 full price you safe.

I did. Purchased a T-Mobile 6s directly from Apple. It came with a nano SIM in the box.
I just popped in my local SIM and it activated over the air.
Easy.

[scotty_buttons]

Same with me and my 6S which was the unlocked tmobile model bought off the apple store.
Have the tmobile sim somewhere, but just popped in my bmobile sim and it worked.
Also have a close friend who bought the tmobile 6 at launch the year before without issues as well with her bmobile sim.

Same. Bought the T-Mobile iPhone 6, put in my bmobile SIM and worked fine ever since. Using that same iPhone to write this in fact.

Real curious to see how that new force touch home button feels with haptic feedback. The reviews so far not good but it's probably personal preference.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

What's the point of haptic feedback for the home button?

[ryan99tt]

Hey guys, hav my 128gb space grey iphone 6s plus for sale...in mint condition...spigen case an glast.r slim screen protector...all accessories never used (headfones) sealed...looking at $5500 or nearest offer...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

What's the point of haptic feedback for the home button?

it's now force sensitive so i guess there will be new things the home button can do and haptics will confirm those actions. Similar to force / 3D touch on the 6S, when you push into the screen for additional functions you get haptic feedback for those functions.

[pete]

Pretty standard having tactic feedback on those buttons. My phone has that for the home, back and recent apps buttons.

How do you guys pre order directly from Apple? What address do you use? iirc when I tired last year they don't accept skybox addresses. Anyone willing to share info on this

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

is it also force sensitive? detects how hard you press it?

[pete]

No, once you touch that area of the screen it vibrates so you know you've pressed it.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Force touch adds functionality to a single button

[pete]

Having taken a 5s into an apple store to get the home button triaged and then start to give trouble again a few months later I could see why they needed to change to this though.

I used my skybox address last week and it seems to have went through. Well for one of the purchases at least. Still awaiting for second purchase to appear on my CC statement.

Haptic feedback or headphone jack? Maybe iOS10 needs to come out for the benefits of haptic feedback to become apparent but so far from the reviews I've come across the reviewers seem bemused about the point of it.
