Sometimes not even I know why Apple does this...and I answer questions like this every day.

Only 2GB left on my 32GB, guess I'm not updating to iOS8

True. I read the same on a Mashable article.
Subway is rolling out apple pay though :)

They might not. I think it's more likely they'll add the ability for companies to incorporate their NFC cards (transit is the first one that comes to mind) into Apple Pay. This way you could tap your phone just like tapping your card without having to open an app or interact with your phone.

To me it's a waste of time having something like a transit card in your phone if you need to do anything more than just tap it to work. Otherwise I'm just going to tap my card instead, since it's faster/easier.


There are lots of malicious NFC apps that can do everything from reading another persons card to hacking a card to get free transit. I don't think Apple wants any part of that mess or to have a news story about the hacker who was running around with an iPhone 6 stealing card info/payments from other people. So I'm pretty sure Apple will keep a short leash on developer access to NFC.

upgraded my ipod5 :)

Iceman_2K 09-17-2014 09:09 PM

yup - its part of the secure element of the phone that does transaction handling, so its not part of the rest of the phone.

Just updated. The new keyboard is sweet. And the quick contact from Pressing the home button will be handy.

Try swype or swiftkey, I gotta relearn how to use both after coming from a SG3 to the iphone 5.

Also, could i buy the unlocked phone from fido and use my fido dollars on it?


Mention the one time exception since you haven't upgraded in the last 2 years and maybe they will allow it. All customers that haven't upgraded in the 2 year prior to announcement, they get a one time exception and the agent is obligated to make sure you know about that. If all else fail, you'll have to go on the $80 max plans.

Can you please elaborate on the one-time exception? Friend is currently in the same position with a $65 plan with 1gb signed two years ago for a Iphone 5.

is it for 6 or 6 plus? none of the retail chain store in Canada have a PO for it so if you have reserved a 6 plus. don't expect one anytime soon

kcl38 09-18-2014 01:36 PM

Just a 6. Dunno why I didn't just pre-order 2 with Apple D:

jack3d 09-18-2014 04:01 PM

so we dont have to line up if we reserved it in store through the apple site, correct? just walk in during the reservation time and pick it up?

Nabatron 09-18-2014 04:10 PM

^should be like that I assume!

As for saying doing and upgrade in store or buying outright whats the chances of that saying going after work on Friday around 6pm? Will there be some stock left of iphone 6 64gb or am I shit out of luck?
