Hi Wayne. I listen to a lot of NBA games myself, and have found no alternatives to listening to these games other than using Radium's Sirius XM feature. If only they'd make NBA All Access audio work for the iPhone, but alas they won't. Shawn Sent From My White MacBook On Nov 22, 2014, at

Are you new to the iPhone and coming to it from Windows? If so, the cursor in IOS works a bit differently. It's a vertical bar that appears between two letters. VoiceOver always speaks the character that you jump over with the insertion point. The delete key and backspace key always delete the

Yes it is, in some applications. Mail, for instance, will show the messages list on the left and the selected message on the right, similar to an iPad. This is something that an app must support, so many apps won't do it yet. But yes, in landscape mode, the Plus has the space to do this. On

I might add that I can find free and open versions of most NFL games, but NBA games are truly locked down. I believe that using location services, you may be allowed to stream the games of your home team within a certain number of miles, at no cost, but no other streaming. -Original

For what it's worth, my iPhone 5 feels no slower on iOS 8.x than it did on 7.x. Certainly, 8.1.1 didn't slow anything down at all. There are still bugs, to be sure, but I find braille input, interactive notifications, the improved Spotlight, and other features more than worth the minor

This is not true for everyone. I never had 7, but I can't agree that 1-2 seconds for an app to open is too long. I only started with 8.1 to be fair, but my old 4s on 7 last year seemed very sluggish comparatively. Eden On 11/22/2014 7:44 PM, Kelly Pierce wrote: Pablo originally wondered if
