I had the iPhone 5s with iOS 8 and used the built in Nike Plus app but now that I just purchased the iPhone 6 the built in app is gone. Does anyone know if this was something removed completely.
iPhone 6, iOS 8
IT is simply unacceptable that we cannot use the shoe sensor now. apple please fix this issue! until then I guess my iPhone 6 is shelved on runs....
fwiw, I contacted Nike and they said THEY (Nike, not Apple) phased it out.
Not trying to argue with you, just trying to make a point. If Nike phased it out, why is it still present on my iPhone 5 running 8.0.2? There is no hardware limitation of the iPhone 6 / 6 Plus as it connects via bluetooth. I find this response from Nike to be uninformed. Again, just attempting to coral the troops on this issue. We need to be heard!
The Nike+ app is not available with iOS 8 on the iPhone 6 because Apple removed the hardware from the phone. iOS 8 still supports Nike+ when it detects the hardware, which is why you still see it on the iPhone 5.
I was just as upset as everyone else.
I can offer you two suggestions: (1) get the Nano, it still supports it. (2) look at getting a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) stride sensor (Adidas and Polar make them). You can use the BLE sensor with other apps (Polar, Adidas, Wahoo).
The only hardware involved is a Bluetooth radio. The only limitation of the iPhone 6 is that they simply left the code out of the iOS build for it. The reason? That's debately. Some say it's Nike, some believe it's Apple. I for one don't care who is responsible, I just want it fixed / working again.
Perhaps it was inevitable with Nike getting out of the wearable hardware arena, old news by now:
Nike+ Running is a download. The Nike+ (or Nike+ iPod) app has been built-into iOS since the iPhone 3G.
According to this, the Nike+ shoe sensor isn't compatible with the iPhone 6. I'm guessing that means they took the Nike+ app out of iOS 8:

Why did you stop using it?
Because you got an iPhone 6?
Yes î got an iphone 6 plus and its doesnt have this app
Open up app store
Sign into the apple I'd that u previously downloaded the app on
Go to "updates" on bottom right
Click " purchased" at the top
On iPod u have to scroll through to find the Nike+ app but iOS 7 or later u should have a search bar and just search Nike+
I think that Apple regards Nike + iPod as obsolete feature. If you want to continue to track with Nike sensor, keep old iOS device or just move to Nike+ app based on GPS & Motion sensor built in iPhone5S or later.
Was the built in Nike Plus app removed from the iPhone 6?
