    Absolutely LOVE the Apple pay!!

    Is it just me....or.... is the power button in a bad location? What I mean by that is - holding the phone with one hand (say, right hand) and you want to put it to sleep by pressing the power button. Does anyone else have problems with your other fingers pressing the volume buttons at the same time?

    I gotta remember to take my fingers off the volume buttons before I do that.

    Or is it just me and my smaller hands?

    I've been using an iPhone since the 3gs and have never broken a screen .... unless submerging the phone under water and breaking the entire phone counts. haha

    Are you guys having problems with it reading your fingerprint?

    If I try it and it doesn't work, I'll wipe off the button with my sleeve and it'll work fine until later..... I seem to be wiping it off often.

    I keep the phone in my pocket most days - so perhaps sweat/dust from my pocket is collecting on the button? I also have a 'glass' screen protector which puts a slight lip around the button.

    I think the fingerprint reader sucks, even when I wipe it down it still doesn't work. I type in my passcode 9/10 because the fingerprint reader never picks up. Its a huge pain while using apple pay

    I have zero problems with the fingerprint reader. I also have the glass screen protector.

    My only suggestion is to remove the current fingerprints and start over. If you're bored you can try a hard reset of the phone.

    When I do my fingerprints, I do both thumbs and forefingers, I repeatably lock and unlock my phone as it "seems" to "learn" your prints even better allowing it to work at some odd angles and with less of the original print when setting it up.

    That's pretty cool. They don't make it for the 6+ though. I'm out of luck.

    My husband doesn't have any problems with his either.

    I've re-learned my prints several times. Both thumbs & both index fingers. I also lock & unlock my phone a lot. Some days its better than others.

    To fix the fingerprint issue, go to Touch ID/Passcode > Select the finger that is having issues > Go back > Repeatedly place finger on Touch ID sensor so it can learn your fingerprint better.

    Broke my phone and my Lifeproof case. Gym incident. Bent the phone...screen started separating from the casing. I bent it back some, and Lifeproof is sending me a case since it was under warranty. Phone still works perfectly fine.

    Love the LifeProof Frè with my 6. That 79.99$ is well worth it.

    One thing that I notice is that there's a rainbowing effect on certain spots in the middle of the screen. Nothing bad or anything like that. It would go away one day and come back another day.

    I've never had that issue before, but know a lot of people that have. Take it out of the case somewhere with low humidity and put it back in. One of my buddies actually emailed lifeproof a few years ago and that's what they told him. :notsure:
