IPhone 6 plus splitscreen FYI

I just received my iPhone 6 plus and set it up... when I went to mail and turned the phone horizontally, I didn't see the "split screen" where the list of mail appears on the left side like on the iPad and like is advertised in the iOS 8 videos for the plus.
I went searching and didn't find an answer - but I did discover why!
If you set up the phone to use the "Zoom" setting when setting up the iPhone 6 Plus display settings, then you won't get the splitscreen! You can only see that if you pick "standard"
Just thought I'd post this so people who are confused can understand.

Aha!  No wonder.  Thank you for sharing this.
I selected zoom format for my aging eyes, but the split screen is more important to me.  To compensate I changed the Text Size to the maximum setting. (Even larger sizes are available in Accessibility Settings.)
Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom View > Standard (to get split screen)
Settings > Display & Brighness > Text Size (slide to max)

  • My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare

    My iPhone 6 plus screen was crashed, how much is the cost if I want to repair it at Apple? FYI: I didn't bought Applecare+. I bought my iPhone 6 plus 3 months ago in Singapore.

    $129 US. https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/repair/screen-damage/ For local pricing call your nearest Apple store. If you live somewhere other than Singapore you'll have to send the phone to someone you trust in Singapore and have them take the phone in to have it repaired. iPhone's do not have an international warranty and can only be serviced in the country they were purchased.

  • IPhone 6 Plus Camera - Smudged Photos - A visit to Genius Bar

    I have been using iPhone 6 Plus for more than 2 months. All through the phone is great for reading and battery life. Now the major problem I have been facing is the still photos taken with little bit of zoom are also getting smudged. The results are so bad they are a downgrade from iPhone 5. It is disheartening to see such poor quality software or image processing on such a hyped Camera Hardware. Coming to the point of solution I have visited the Genius Bar at Hillsdale Shopping Center San Mateo on 01/14/15. Following are the lame diagnosis steps they have done,
    They did general diagnostic test - It has failed for too many App crashes - Genius Bar Associate said it is common, please reboot the phone regularly. What a solution!!!
    Coming to camera they don't have any scientific way of finding the issues. So no proper diagnostic process.
    They Took some pictures of Apple store with Zoom and without zoom. And showed me there are no smudge marks. What a great way of diagnosis!!!
    Then I have mentioned them that it needs to take closeup of people. So now they started taking pictures of me with zoom and without zoom. After this they saw the smudges.
    I have told them to compare with iPhone5. They took pictures of me with iPhone 5 and found the quality is much better than iPhone 6 Plus. Their explanation is f-stop and depth is different. What an innovative excuse for better picture quality on older version phone. I am seeing great bluffing activity started now.
    Now the final comparison. They said they will compare with exact another iPhone 6 Plus and see if there are any issue with my phone. I said OK. Now they took pictures of me with a new identical iPhone 6 plus with zoom and without zoom. Great rope act now...they saw the exact smudges on photos on using the identical iPhone 6 Plus. Their explanation on next step.
    Since both the phones are producing smudges they derived the conclusion that my phone has no issue. And they said that the issue is resolved. My answer to them is  "ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. IN FACT IT IS PROVED AND YOU BETTER ESCALATE IT AND SOLVE IT'
    What a great experience at Genius Bar. If they have served beer or hard liquor instead of this BS I would have been a happy customer.

    I never asked for any replacement....I wanted a solution for bad picture. If it is proved that all phones are producing same smudges they better think a common solution for all. Case is not closed, in fact it remains open as long as they doesn't answer it.
    See the attached pictures how bad it is in low light...FYI...no editing done on these pictures.
    No Zoom
    Little Zoom
    More Zoom..look how bad it gets...

  • MacBook Pro 15 inch 2013 late not pairing with iPhone 6 Plus

    I have Yosemite and have iPhone 6 Plus running latest OS updates. Whenever I tried to pair my iPhone through Bluetooth (for Hand-off or Continuity application to work), the connection status in both devices go "Not Connected" mode. I have done SMC reset, deleted the Bluetooth plist file as mentioned in some blogs.
    Not sure what is the step I may be missing.
    FYI, I had the same issue several months back with my iPhone 5 which got resolved with the deletion of plist file. Now the same magic do not seem to work.
    Appreciate valuable input

    Hello ramachandranfromchennai,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to use Handoff and Continuity features between your iPhone 6 Plus and MacBook Pro. There is no need to pair your iPhone with your Mac like you would with a bluetooth mouse or keyboard. As long as your system meets all of the applicable requirements and is setup correctly, you should be good to go:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht6337
    To use Handoff:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices.
    Turn on Bluetooth on all the devices you want to use. Make sure your devices are near each other.
    Connect all your devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.

  • How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?

    Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus.  All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID.  This has created zero issues until now.  With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone.  I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to  her email address and cell phone number.  Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends.  I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID.  When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID.  Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired.  Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID.  When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

    No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

  • IPhone 5s wireless connectivity issues, cannot upload files/state to iCloud, and supposedly needing to do so in order to get my files/state onto a new iPhone 6 Plus

    I am trying to get my files from my old iPhone 5s onto my new iPhone 6 Plus. I am currently and have been using iCloud to backup my files/state. However, I believe the antenna on the iPhone 5s went kaput a few months ago, because the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, both, do not work at all, meaning, I have tried all solutions including, resetting network settings, restarting the phone, etc. This is problematic because, as far as I know the iPhone 5s needs to be connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to a Wi-Fi Hotspot in order to ask the internet, in order to upload current information/state to iCloud. Herein lies my problem.
    I have used iCloud already, to download my current files/state to my iPhone 6, with a caveat, these are only the files/state from before the antenna supposedly went kaput. That means, that all of my files/state since that time, while still being on my iPhone 5s, is not uploaded to iCloud, which then means I do not have it on my iPhone 6 which was updated to the most current files/state that was available at the time.
    What do I do?
    I have iTunes installed on a Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Computer, and I have made a backup on there. However, I have to admit, I find iTunes very counter-intuitive and very difficult to use/understand. And I'm mostly referring to the syncing/backing-up features. I know you have to have safe guards to protect software usage, but with this high-minded philosophy of minimalism, couldn't it be as easy as drag and drop? Even software syncing? USB syncing with iCloud, etc?

    Thank you for the information. I checked out the section and read it through. From what I can gather, you can start your new iPhone from an itunes backup (Set Up Iphone > Restore from iTunes Backup), but, in my situation I need to add the Files/State from the old iPhone backup to the new iPhone that was started from scratch and has it's own unique Files/State, without subtracting from either. The problem is, that I don't want to subtract anything, and from what I understand about Syncing, if I am Syncing a new iPhone that's been started up, edited, has it's own suite of apps, etc. to an old backup of a previous iPhone, I am going to lose everything new I've done, as it will sync with the previous Files/State.

  • Iphone 6 plus echo?

    Have an iPhone 6 plus.  Everyone has been complaining about hearing themselves echo while speaking to me on the other end of the call.  Anything I can do to fix this?
    They complain about it regardless of whether or not I'm using my bluetooth.  Anything I can do to fix this?

    Hey dlcj21,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you sound unclear on a call. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,

  • Iphone 6 plus wifi connection not working

    I don't know what the deal is but, I'm getting notifications of emails, and messages but when I go to the app I have nothing there. The problem has expanded and now apps aren't connecting to any wifi. I thought it might have been 3rd party apps, but now even the app store cannot connect. I've tried my home wifi, and my work wifi. Using my data plan, I have no problems connecting to anything. I'm thinking this is an IOS8 issue that needs a patch. If somebody has any other suggestions, I'm all ears!

My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
    I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1.  I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Iphone 6 plus slide bar not working

    My iphone 6 plus slide bar would not work.  I couldn't turn phone off, couldn't do anything except use Siri.  Used Siri to face time a friend to ask for help but for some reason once she answered my phone unlocked.  Have no idea why.  Hope this helps someone.

  • IPhone 6 Plus mic/earpiec not working.

    A tiny drop of water went down into my earpiece 2 weeks ago and i kept sucking out the water and i left it over night in a bag of rice. The next day the earpiece was working perfectly fine but the mic for the front facing camera, facetime, siri and voice dictation is not working. Every time i try to take a video using the front facing camera all what i hear is a muffling sound. Is this an earpiece issue? Should i change the earpiece? IS there a mic inside the earpiece?

  • Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

    Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
    I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
    Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.
