Already installed iOS 8.1- it's great. Already setup the SMS forwarding to my MacBook Pro, and Continuity works perfectly. I can just leave my Mac and continue typing this post on my iPhone.

i just did a clean restore, will update again if this time shows the toggle or not

Update: I understand now. That option is for Voice over LTE. It enables iPhones to make phone calls using the LTE network, instead of 3G/2G. However it depends on carrier's network technology. Carrier have to enable.

I strongly discourage using apple pay until it matures for a bit. What if an app trick you into using apple pay online? You want to press home button to exit the app, but by pressing the home button you inadverdently authorize the payment with your thumbprint.

Remember how fast touch ID now works.

Steps to use Apple Pay in an app (e.g. Target):
1. Touch the  Pay button. (It will be beside the normal Checkout button)
2. Then it will show a confirmation page, with your card's last 4 digits, billing/shipping address, and the total amount.
3. Then you have to tap 'Pay with  Pay' at the bottom of the confirmation page.
4. Then iPhone will show the authentication page, with an image of your card (like winkiedilwy posted) and the Touch ID logo.
5. Scan you finger, and Touch ID logo will change to an icon that looks like a tick in a circle. (✔︎)

Wanna ask about Apple Care Plus.
If we add on that while purchase in overseas, is the additional 2 years warranty global warranty or again limited to the country of purchase??
*
Apple Care+ guarantees international coverage of device warranty for 3 years, no matter country of purchase. (http://www.apple.com/legal/sales-support/applecare/applecareplusapacen/)

has anyone tried out the continuity?
does it works well?
*
it works perfectly between my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1 and my MacBook Pro (2012) running OS X Yosemite.

QUOTE(Lynixx @ Oct 21 2014, 02:22 PM)
wanna ask, is it just to turn on bluetooth on both devices and pair them only?
*
QUOTE(simmarjit @ Oct 21 2014, 02:23 PM)
Its using wifi if i am not mistaken, as long as both devices on the same network, you can use continuity and handoff
*
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi must be on to use Continuity. Devices discover each other via Bluetooth and transfers data using Wi-Fi.

The app launches successfully but just stay stuck n cannot select any of the movies to view
Probably yet to be optimised for ip6+
*
I say they need to optimise for iOS 8. Not for the new iPhones. Because an app optimised for iOS 8 should still work for the new iPhones. Like Netflix.

Hey guys, trying to buy from the US Apple Store now, but I don't have a credit card with a US billing address. Any suggestions? Another alternative is to pay with Apple Store Gift Card, but dunno how to get my hands on that with a Singaporean credit card.

Help!
*
you don't need a US card. use any Visa/AmEx/Master also can. As for billing and shipping address, use your friend's house address or a forwarder service like HopShopGo. keep in mind that listed prices don't include tax- most states (with some exceptions like New Hampshire or Oregon) will charge additional sales tax.

Yeah the sales tax is based on shipping address not billing address, right? Just placed my order. Fingers crossed!  sweat.gif

actually IINM it should be based on billing address (because the person who buys is supposed to be paying the tax) but some stores calculate tax based on shipping (to prevent tax evasion)

I think it's very stupid to turn off location services. If you turn it off, you cannot use iCloud to find your iPhone if it's lost.

P.S. I've been reading the past few pages of this thread, and I SMH only at all the misinformation regarding imported or CDMA iPhones. Good thing it's cleared up now though.

P.P.S. I've made a chart.

Just notice iPhone 6 Plus is not FHD (1080×1920) but more than that.
Apple still as usual using weird resolution.
iPhone 6 Plus is 1242x2208 resolution.

You're misinformed regarding resolutions for the new iPhones:

6 Plus: 1080p, 401 ppi

6: 750p, 326 ppi

For 6, all user interface elements and content are rendered pixel-perfect in @2x resolution. If you take a screenshot, the image will measure 750x1334.

Here's where it gets interesting. For the 6 Plus, everything is rendered at @3x resolution. If you take a screenshot, the image will measure 1242x2208. However, the actual screen hardware is only 1080x1920 so iOS downscales the whole user interface to fit the screen. My guess is that Apple wanted a 2208 × 1242 screen but couldn't get enough of them at a quality they were satisfied with. I expect iPhone 7 Plus to have a true 1242x2208 screen.

Here's what John Gruber of Daring Fireball said (scroll down to Display Quality):
QUOTE
The Plus, though, works differently. Physically, it is a 1920 × 1080 display with 401 pixels-per-inch. Virtually, however, it appears to apps as a 2208 × 1242 display with 463 pixels-per-inch. Those latter numbers should sound familiar to regular readers. The iPhone 6 Plus automatically scales the 2208 × 1242 interface to fit the 1920 × 1080 display. This on-the-fly downsampling sounds crazy — it sounds like something that might be slow, and that might lead to fuzziness on screen with small text or fine lines. In practice, it just works. Text and fine lines appear sharper on the 6 Plus than on the regular 6 (or any other iPhone with a 326 PPI display, like the 5’s). 401 pixels per inch is high enough that things still look great even if they’re not pixel-perfect. I was deeply skeptical of this on-the-fly downsampling when I heard about it, but having used it for a week, I’m sold.

(When you take a screenshot on the iPhone 6 Plus, you get a 2208 × 1242 image — you get a screenshot of what the app thinks it is displaying, not a screenshot of the actual pixels on screen. If you really do care about pixel-level precision, I’m not sure how you can tell what is being rendered on screen other than to examine the actual iPhone display using an optical loupe.)

don't buy AT&T GSM. Buy Sprint CDMA at full price device only. If no Sprint get Verizon, if no Verizon get T-Mobile.
