Does force touch differentiate between a hard press and a long press? Or is it just a different way of doing a long-press on a phone without force touch?

Depends how the app implements it - for some apps long press vs hard press will do the same thing, other apps will have different behaviours for long press vs hard press.

Force touch is such a gimmick. If anything it's slowed me down for normal touch operations that's buried in force touch now.

Considering you go through phones like tic tacs how much could you possibly regret it

Haha I know. The wife has been putting the hammer down lately though so it's getting a little tough.

Is anyone getting the new iPad Pro 9.7"? Looking to get one, probably the 128gb version so I have room for more stuff.

I gotta see the SE in person lol still rocking my iPhone 5

^ wow man you're a trooper. Hanging on the 5 that long? Does it even hold charge?

I've had it since 2012

Yeah it still holds a charge pretty well, but I did replace the battery about a year ago with a new one.

I might stop by Chinook tomorrow to check out the SE

My mother in law just replaced her 4 from 2010. Her phone prior to that was the Razer, so she holds the a while haha.

Oh, how did u get battery replaced?

[J.M.]

I bought a battery off ifixit and swapped it myself since I was out of warranty.

I just got the 6S again. Didn't see much point in the 5S. I think 4" inch screen is a little too small.

[lilmira]

I can't go back to the 5 anymore after getting used to the screen size of the 6s. Size does matter to a point where it won't fit in your pants anymore. I was thinking about the 6s+ but no way that thing will fit comfortably.

[Hero_X]

Got this phone today and love the size! Don't need to carry a brick anymore lol

Question for you guys:

is there a way to measure screen on time, like you can do on android?

The iOS settings has a battery section and there's "Usage time" but I"m not sure if that is same as screen on time.

I still have a 5 and the battery sucks, but it still works lol. How's the SE?

Same here..love my 5C for the most part but the battery life is becoming galaxy like.

[shakalaka]

I was about to pick up the SE but after watching this video decided not to.


I went on Kijiji and found a brand new, sealed iPhone 6S for $630.

Hey are those batteries from ifixit any good? Do they hold a charge well?

That's a good deal for a 6S shaka, 16gb?

Yeah the one I got seems to be pretty good. I checked the battery charge cycle after I installed it and it was at 0.

Haven't had any issues in the year or so I've had it installed.
