hi. the carrier name appearing on the top is useful. why? because when you are traveling abroad, you'll find that it is actually important to know which carrier you are connected to. they might change suddenly, and one might charge way more.
Fine and dandy but give me the option to turn it off (default it on if it's a carrier requirement).
There are plenty of areas where AT&T and/or Verizon don't have proper coverage yet. It's not uncommon for my family to stay places where coverage is not adequate for a decent quality cellphone call but there is decent wifi connected to a decent broadband connection. My wife used to have t-mobile and it was nice to be able to utilize the wifi-calling in such places.
In short, anything that would essentially increase coverage in more (remote) places, inside more buildings, etc... would be a welcome addition and could help everyone at some point or another. It's is a way for cellular carriers to essentially extend their network coverage without having to lay out a lot of extra infrastructure until they can get real towers and infrastructure to those locations.
I think that table makes everyone on it look bad. Apple for the low end, Google for the misleading 200GB row and Dropbox is just overpriced in all areas.The prices are about to change - quite looking forward to that - my camera roll is a part of the iCloud backup these days = not been possible for a long time because of the low storage space

I do want to, though. It's a huge feature for me, as I don't get signal in my home - and one of the main reasons I've considered switching to T-Mobile.
I suppose the situation can't be worse than it currently is, though.
WhatsApp still not responding!
Did you do anything specific to the App? Mine's been acting up since I installed Beta 4.

I'm assuming it would then use the cellular network without dropping a call, similar to how changing towers work...but that is a HUGE assumption on my part. Kind of like when you are loading a web page on wifi, then turn it off and then LTE finishes the job without doing anything. Hopefully you can get in the field data to back up my assumption.
SIDE NOTE: I just downgraded my iCloud storage plan since it needs a renewal in a few weeks...would love to pay less money Apple to share my photos with the new pricing....but I know how long it takes to get cloud based solutions right at Apple. :\

Sorry but Microsoft kicks these to the curb. 1TB for each of 5 users with Office 365 home $99 per year or or one user for $70. Works great on all my Apple products.
Sorry, I don't live in Europe and wouldn't know of such laws that don't exist here in the US. Sounds like they'll ban Apple from iMessage and such eventually in Europe. And why does this matter anyway? Windows still has no built-in mail client; nobody cares why it doesn't.
I gave you the reason why!
I wasn't thinking clearly earlier, Windows 8.x DOES have built-in mail client via the modern app which kills your argument stone dead.
yes, same here from ipad and mac, funny, yesterday was working well...only thing was I had to turn off wifi calling for calls from mac/ipad, today i am gettin same message as you...weird
I have checked all settings on both mac and iPhone, i can't see a way to "configure".
The old dictionary has done this for a long time. It stopped marking slang words I used in everyday texts as incorrect a long time ago.
Unless you're asking if they can predict that you WANT to use a slang word, then I have no idea as I don't have access to the beta lol
My biggest issue with iOS7 was that, when in the music app, I would go to an artist and only want to select one of their albums, it would automatically play all of their music instead of just the album. I always thought an easy work around for this would be to just be able to tap the cover art and have THAT be the way to select just the one album. <- My two cents anyway
Can anyone tell me if this is any different in iOS8? It's actually a HUGE annoyance when I just want one album on repeat. It's easier to go to the artist list than the album list because it's much shorter.
