Apple event - 9th September

[AdDaMan]

You're on drugs. Just buy the pink phone. Everyone bar your knows it's for women.

The phone is pink. Other rose gold things aren't. Get over it.

6s apparently has a smaller battery than the 6 but apple says it won't affect battery life. Hmmm

 

[Ben.Block]

Maybe it's more efficient.

 

[riz]

Will live photos only work on a 6s?

6s apparently has a smaller battery than the 6 but apple says it won't affect battery life. Hmmm

CPU is probably updated with 8 cores (if it wasnt already), and will run on the lower power cores more often, or optimizations etc - it can happen, though I agree it's unlikely!

 

[C.J]

Will live photos only work on a 6s?

Can't see it mentioned on the iOS page, so assume iPhone 6s only: https://www.apple.com/uk/ios/whats-new/

 

[riz]

I think it works with 3D touch only..

Phone providers needs to hurry up and release their pricing, available to preorder tomorrow yet nothing released yet!

No one wants to be first.

 

[Ronnie R]

I'm sure I read online that o2 have said they will be releasing their pricing today.
I guess we all know its going to be expensive already

 

[GarethM]

Still nothing on O2.

 

[Goodj]

Well screw you apple.
within 24hrs of the 6s announcement, my 5 decides it likes to shutdown every time 5% of battery is used.
So, looks like it's a 6 for me.

 

[C.J]

Apple sales go live at 8am tomorrow, as do EE. No news elsewhere.

 

[C.J]

O2 go on sale at 9am, according to their Twitter.

Also their Refresh deals are live. http://news.o2.co.uk/?press-release=o2-to-offer-iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-in-uk

So, as an example: iPhone 6s 64GB = £619 from Apple sim free.

On O2 refresh the phone cost is £699.99 (£25 x 24 + £99.99). Plus line rental (£21) for 3GB data/unli mins/texts.

If you're considering a contract, I think this is the cheapest option? A year in you can pay off the phone (£300), but keep the £21 line rental, and get a new phone.

 

[AK]

Apple Store still down for me..

 

[AK]

Done.

 

[Chapppers11]

64GB Gold 6S ordered, could only get online on the iPhone app. Store is still down for me.

 

[C.J]

Done.

 

[Lou]

Got my order in just after 8 on the app. No issues at all!

 

[AdDaMan]

128gb Silver pre ordered on 3

 

[eugegall]

Not that I'm trying to order anything but the store is still down for me.

 

[DannyR]

Store on apple.com seems to be non existent but just went via the app and could preorder, surprised they are not sold out yet, usually the first allocation has gone after an hour

na on the new model yeah but the S always takes a day or 2.

 

[Jaff.]

I want one but £620 on a phone is ridiculous

 

[Ronnie R]

I went for 128GB 6s via o2.
£64 per month, £39.99 up front. I only wanted 64GB but for the sake of £30 seemed silly not to.
With that I can upgrade in 12 months, plus insurance.

 

[Addicted]

£64 a month, that is just insane.

The amounts people pay for phone contracts is unreal, you can lease a car for the same money.

 

[AdDaMan]

Mine is £66 :smile:

Plus i have another one thats £44 for my ipad lol

 

[DannyR]

I pay £44p/m for a 6 64gb, the first 6 months it was £33 with no upfront. Unlimited calls/texts and 5GB data

How are, or why are you paying so much? Sim only deal £5-20 depending on what you need, Apple finance over two years for a phone at £24 p/m

Because its not a sim only deal....no upfront cost with unlimited everything including data and hotspot for 128gb 6s.

 

[DannyR]

The extra over two years doesn't work out to an extra £22 a month though does it. It's about £7.

Plus with unlimited data why do you need to pay £44 for an iPad data plan?

 

[AdDaMan]

The extra what?

 

[DannyR]

The extra what?

£160 for the 6S 128gb

 

[AdDaMan]

Why are you comparing your 6 price to my 6s price?!

 

[DannyR]

Because that's part of the contract you were talking about and part of the contract I was talking about?! I don't know how to compare contract prices without comparing and integral part of the contract, makes it difficult.

 

[AdDaMan]

6 contracts are now irrelevant when comparing to 6s though....the prices go up every year. Im paying what it costs. No more and no less.

6 to 6s prices haven't changed a 6 64gb was £619 as is the 6S 64gb.

The price I was paying was when it was released last year

From phone companies not from apple. C0ntract prices have gone up since 2 years ago.

 

[GarethM]

Pre-ordered a space grey 6s from O2 paying £37 a month. Which has gone up £4 a month from my 5s contract from 2 years ago.

6 was released last year and EE have equal contract prices now.

I was trying to explain that it's cheaper to buy outright or via apple finance than a contract from a phone company.

Yeah it may well be..but that doesn't bother me at all..I spend equivalent to that monthly saving a day on coffee!
