Try and charge an iPad with an iPhone charger. You'll be there all bloody day!

DannyR · Jun 21, 2015

Lol, my missus did that once, if your using it it actually goes down whilst being charged!

Diagro · Jun 30, 2015

I Like the iPhone 6. Very easy to fix and the screens cost £40.
Shame the battery takes an age to charge :/

My note 4 battery is fully charged within 40mins from dead

Ray Gin · Jul 10, 2015

Has there been any news released on a 6s yet? I'm assuming they're bringing one out in a couple of months?

AdDaMan · Jul 10, 2015

Yeah it'll be September. No confirmed news yet though.
Just broke my iPhone 6 screen after 10 f**king months.
Those £40 screen are shite diagro, not the same as a genuine one the glues used are different etc

Apple charge £79 for a replacement screen.

AdDaMan · Jul 10, 2015

Yeah. That's where I'm going to go. Less hassle than claiming on insurance for the sake of £30.

Defo mate, if they f**k it up just request a new phone.

Deeg · Jul 10, 2015

They replaced a colleagues screen in less than an hour last Saturday.

As said, the other advantage is, if they f**k it up, you'll get a 'new' phone.

celicaturbolly · Jul 11, 2015

Any solid details release on the Sept release is it a 6s or 7?

Deeg · Jul 11, 2015

The only bit I've read is that it will the same size / shape / config as the existing models, so assume it will be an S rather than a completely new model.

MatthewR · Jul 13, 2015

Im after a new phone, my Xperia Z3 is playing up now (overheating, poor touch screen etc) Ive been thinking of going back to iphones. Is it worth getting the 6 or trying to hold out another 3 - 4 months for the 6s/7?

MicKPM · Jul 13, 2015

Hold out if only because IF the S models do have Force Touch, it'll be worth it (IMO). Having tried it on the new Macbook and Watch I am a fan.

It will be 10 weeks maximum.

MicKPM · Jul 13, 2015

I will be holding with my 6 but i'll be upgrading the wife to the 6S on launch day. No-one really knows as and when it'll come out though as nothing has been confirmed or announced yet.

Jaff. · Jul 13, 2015

they best upgrade the 6 screen to full HD matching the plus! thats the only reason i held out for the S lol

CrippsCorner · Jul 13, 2015

I've only missed one iteration since the iPhone 4... but this time is the first time I was basically forced into a 24 month contract. Going to feel it lol

jeeealous.

Ian_182 · Jul 14, 2015

Ive just swapped from a 4s to a 6 and I don't know what ive done but when I text my wife it shows my icloud email as the person who's sent it and not my name.
What have I done wrong.?

DrR · Jul 14, 2015

Setting-messages- send and receive, then untick your email address

Ian_182 · Jul 14, 2015

Thanks very much sir.

DannyR · Jul 16, 2015

Anyone using Apple Pay yet? I'm with Halifax so couple of months wait

CrippsCorner · Jul 17, 2015

Two weeks until it goes live on HSBC.

Euan94 · Jul 17, 2015

I've got it all set it up but not paid with it yet. Can't wait to be honest.

brisa4984 · Jul 17, 2015

yep...

I've used apple pay at Costa and marks and spencer. No problems whatsoever yet. Pretty cool imo.

DrR · Jul 17, 2015

Don't really see the point in it tbh, I probably won't use it.

DannyR · Jul 17, 2015

I think it works well with things like the underground, not needing and Oyster card etc...

Would your phone not need to be connected to the network for data? Underground = no signal. Unless it's ad-hoc?

DannyR · Jul 18, 2015

The stiles aren't underground though, but I guess with no signal it will do the transaction when it has signal.

DrR · Jul 18, 2015

It won't need Internet connection, your oyster card doesn't.

DannyR · Jul 18, 2015

That's because an Oyster card has prepaid credit, phones need to make a transaction

DrR · Jul 18, 2015

Pre paid credit is not stored on the oyster card though? You could have £0 credit, top up £20 online, then the card works right away, and it's not had any contact with anything. In the same way the amount of money in your bank account is not stored on your debit card.

P.s I might be talking complete crap here, I'm just guessing.

charltjr · Jul 18, 2015

No, you're right. Apple Pay works just like any other contactless payment - you're just authorising the payment and authenticating the account. The phone doesn't need to do anything over the mobile network.

Work are just about to upgrade our phones, it'll be a choice of Galaxy S6 or iPhone 6S/7. Got to make the choice without knowing what the upgrades to the iPhone 6 will be though...... Arrrgh!

DrR · Jul 18, 2015

I'd be getting the iPhone, just because it's not an android.

charltjr · Jul 18, 2015

Yeah, I do prefer iOS. But then the Galaxy has a much better camera, screen and 32gb of storage vs 16.

Hopefully the 6S/7 will match it.

Kind of right but it will be stored on a database that card number 12345 has this much and will just remove the credit, the phone will need to do a new transaction every time as it'll be buying credit every time if that makes sense?

Deeg · Jul 19, 2015

@sn00p is your man for the answer.

sn00p · Jul 19, 2015

Answer to what? Lol

Oyster does store a balance on the card, it reconciles overnight which picks up any fraudulent or duplicate cards in the system. (Yes, this was a possibility)

midge · Jul 19, 2015

Don't see the point in Apple pay, its the same as contactless but on your phone? just use your card?

Yeah. thats what i thought.

DannyR · Jul 19, 2015

I think that's the point though, one card does all as such.
