There is no auto text for the IP6+

I have communicated with their tech folks and they claim they violate security protocol

They have text reminder apps only

Google issues with IP6 Bluetooth and various auto models

It’s common

Apple phone help told me to get an aftermarket radio for my 2014 truck. That Pioneer worked..,,so they know

CW is that Apple in their haste to churn out a bigger model to compete with the Japs etc just didn’t get it right and they don’t make it cheap for auto manufacturers to get compatible...according to board chatter fwiw

Which goes back to....sux considering the cost

And Verizon is no help....they just sell them...jury is still out but this is my 2nd iPhone that proved incompatible with my truck life business

I own a chain of small businesses....so in vehicle most days all day

Yes Apple Store help at mall are surprisingly very nice..even for hipsters and millennial hippies but the average customer is like Oregon bushman lib or college hipster with a few like us who stand out...lol

Phone help us less amicable

Folks who love their apples can be fierce about it

I ambivalent...in the correct definition....conflicted.....even though I own more Apple products than 99%. of the population

My kids love them

If you know a true auto text please send me a link....I can’t find one...only text reminder apps

One weird quirk

Text keyboard is more responsive in vertical mode than horizontal where it’s more comprehensive but finicky

Hey, Wardaddy. . . give this a try. Don’t know how good it is, but some people swear by it.

i've always found the phone help people very helpful. . . and willing to escalate to more skilled if the first person cannot fix the problem. They always call back when they say they will, too.

One thing i've learned over the years is that what is complained about on forums is a small minority of users. . . and they are very vocal. Common Wisdom is never to be trusted.

The fact is that Apple uses standard Bluetooth radios and hardware supplied from standard suppliers such as CISCO and Qualcom. If there is a problem connecting, the problem is in the hardware and it should be there for everyone. Usually it is a problem with a batch of the chips provided on a small number of the iPhones/iPads and can be hard to track down. Sometimes it can be handled in software with changes in firmware, sometimes it takes a swap out of the device.

That said, Apple is not above making mistakes in their software. . . and sometimes the fixes they put in to address the issues with the problem chips create problems for chipsets that were working fine before. That happened with the iOS 8.1.3 release for a small number of users. . . who also cried out very vocally. When a company such as Apple is churning out 15 million iPhone 6 and 6 plus models, they have to accept various suppliers offerings of chipsets. . . and they try their best to make sure that everything works together. Sometimes, I think, the suppliers, to meet demand, drop in some sub-par chipsets, or even some from another model, that meets specs, but do not quite work exactly the same as the ones specified. Should these be caught before being installed? You bet your bippy. But that's a perfect world.

I just know that when I read these real world problems that a very small minority of Apple users report, but know that I have the EXACT same model they have and am not experiencing what they are describing. . . nor are any of my friends. . . nor are any of the other millions of users with that model. Errors of this type usually affect far less than 1% of the models involved.

The anti-Apple trolls pick up on these forum complaints and cry these are "endemic" and "exemplary" in the Apple device and normal for Apple products, when they are not.
