Apple 8/X

[Knuckles]

The slight delay when turning the torch on is annoying too.

It seems to only turn on when you lift your finger off

The force touch - different brightness levels are quite cool

It had that in iOS 10, only with 3 options.

The wifi should work well for me too. I leave the house, and the wifi is still on, but the signal is s**t, so I can't get Spotify or maps to work until I turn off wifi, which I then forget to turn back on.

I either didn’t have iOS 10 or completely missed that

 

[Daz...]

I try force touch on everything tbh.

 

[Gouldy]

Interesting. Put ios11 on my iPad last night.

Charged it earlier, 70ish% at 7pm

Streamed a little bit and now it’s on 10%

Os issue?

My 6s battery has gone absolutely rubbish. I’m getting about 5 hours out of a charge

 

[Gouldy]

Just found another stupid thing. You can no longer use the flashlight on your phone if your battery is below 20%

I can? Well I can use the torch as I’m not American.

What's force touch??

 

[DrR]

What's force touch??

Press the screen slightly harder on certain icons etc and it does magic things.

 

[Stay Puft]

Mine just asks to delete the app

Iphone 6 IOS 10.3

 

[DrR]

iPhone 6 doesn’t have it that’s why.

I turned that off within two days of getting this phone. Absolutely pointless.

No I never use it either.

 

[Jaff.]

It’s not pointless it has its uses.

My mate is like that. Refuses to accept anything new because it’s instantly s**t. 3 years latter bragging about how good it is.

They e actually made it worse onios1q by getting rid of swipe from left to get multitasking. It actually became quite intuitive but it’s gone now

Probably because people bitched about how s**t it was when it didn’t have so many uses

 

[DrR]

I never said it was pointless lol? I just never use it.

 

[Gouldy]

I turned force touch off straight away as I just thought it was a pointless

 

[AdDaMan]

Why would you turn it off?! Just don’t use it if you don’t like it.
Force touch was another draw away from android in my books. Hardly use it but still love it.

Because if you accidentally touch the screen every so slightly too hard s**t started popping up.

Huh! Androids is even better, you can actually add items to it and change it. Also it's not force touch, just hold it for a second then it gives you all options including uninstall etc and icon change.

Yes. That’s not force touch is it. No tech involved in holding your finger on something.

 

[Gally]

I know it's better, I use force touch on my brothers 7 plus and I can't see how it's better, I can also add on to the list and configure it for speed on some apps. My point was Android have a great version of the same idea.

Oh wait, they never called it a fancy name and told everyone they invented it. Both things involve a finger press and bring up the exact same thing.

 

[Knuckles]

I find it works on so little that I don’t use it or forget it’s there.

And when it should work on things it doesnt

 

[Pistachio]

My S8 has force touch on the home button

 

[botfch]

Samsungs are rubbish tho...

 

[Rich-D]

Anyone downloaded iOS 11 yet?

Updated my 6S on Tuesday night, a few nice tweaks & enhancements, weirdly my phone seems to be faster and more responsive than it was on iOS10, battery life is no worse, in fact it's probably the smoothest release they've done so far IMO, just seems to all work as it should! :hushed:

How did you get that? I take it it isn't on standard launcher? Been looking for something like that for a while now!

 

[Gally]

Not sure, I've had nova launcher prime for free since I first got both my Note 4 and Note 8. Standard samsung is erm... not that nice for someone who likes things clean. 15 Minutes later I have all the advantages to apple and android andvantages on top. It may just be in new firmware or possible just Nova Launcher or google etc.

 

[Rich..]

I don't think I want this update on my iPad, I wonder how many times a week I'm going to have to click no to installing it.

 

[Knuckles]

Just got my 8 and as a warning to anyone thinking of getting one, do not get a gold one. It’s not gold. It’s pink.

Apart from that, alls good. Setting it up was very easy, taking a pick of the old phones screen and everything jumped across, and it feels and looks lovely. Simply lovely. Lol

 

[Deeg]

Why on earth would a bloke get a gold phone?

 

[Knuckles]

Why on earth would a bloke get a gold phone?

Because I’m fabulous. And it matches my gold ipad

 

[Deeg]

Lol, are you @Cookie ?

 

[Stay Puft]

What do we think of this deal? I paid £50 per month on my iphone 6, and it's been nice paying £18 per month sim only. Could I go to £60 per month, hmmm

We quoted me

64gb
£50 up front
£48 pm
10gb
Unlimited calls and texts

Not as much data, but do you really need 26gb?

 

[Deeg]

For me, the days of buying a handset through a network are long dead. Buy the handset outright and get a Sim only deal.

If you want to finance the handset, Apple do interest free things once or twice a year, or just get a 0% credit card. Clear it at the same rate as you would with a contract if you're so inclined.

Exactly this, I've had it on my Nexus for as long as I can remember and use the functionality daily!

 

[_Tom]

Force touch is an apple thing?!

Or an iPhone X for £6 more??

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah the force touch on samsung and iphone is different. The only thing force touch on samsung is the home button. Not that I ever used it anyway and much prefer the samsung especially the oled screen and the size of the s8+. The only thing I can say I miss from apple is the swipe to go back but it more than makes up for the lack of that.
