Crash: Owners of Apple’s (AAPL) 128GB iPhone Plus have been reporting that the device is crashing, reports BGR. The exact reason behind the crash is unknown, but it appears to have something to do with the device’s app library. Several users with libraries that hold more than 700 apps have reported that the device crashes. A forum talking about the issue has over 9,000 views and 60 responses. Trying to restart the smartphone from scratch and redownload apps doesn’t solve the issue. Apple has yet to weigh in on the problem.

SIM: Versions of the iPad Air 2 and mini 3 that come equipped with SIM cards are supposed to be universal, but AT&T (T) isn’t allowing for that, MacRumors notes. Owners of one of the new iPads that register it with AT&T have discovered that the carrier is locking SIM cards to its service. AT&T hasn’t explained why it’s doing this. The news was also confirmed by Apple in a support document. Owners of the iPad Air 2 and mini 3 can still move the devices to new carriers after using AT&T, but they’ll have to buy a new SIM card to do it.

Pay: Amazon (AMZN) Rewards Visa card is now avaialble for use with Apple Pay, reports AppleInisder. The Amazon Rewards Visa card wasn’t able to be used with Pay when it launched on Monday. This upset some holders of the card as it’s a popular way to buy items with the online retailer. The card gives users 3% back on purchases made through Amazon and also offers other rewards when used at gas station, drug stores and other locations. Those who already have other cards registered on Pay can change the Amazon Rewards Visa card to their default in the app.
