iPhone 4S - Read post #1 before asking questions

[unofficialPete]

Problem i have found with current account insurance is that it only covers uo to 300

True, had a glance at Lloyds and the iPhone has £100 excess, just not sure £225 on insurance over 18 months is value for money having never claimed but sods law something will happen if I don't get cover.

 

[Rob]

As long as you don't lose it/have it stolen, I don't think cover is worth it on an iphone.

If you break it, 140 gets you a new handset from apple, by the time you've paid a monthly premium and then the excess it's not worth it.

Insurance is the biggest waste of money ever for a iphone, unless your stupid, clumsy or gay

Otterbox defender case .... So it never gets smashed
Find my iphone app.......... So it never gets lost

Done

I don't even know where to start.

Problem??

 

[Revels]

Just your stupidity mainly.

 

[Maccy]

Lolz.
Has anyone tried the new iOS beta? I'm tempted but have read reports of worse battery life?

 

[C.J]

Just hit a record with my battery today.

 

[Jaff.]

Mine seems to be getting worse

Fully charged phone, used for 23 mins using 3G to search on here and Facebook and I'm down to 95% this can't be right surely?

 

[M4rk182]

23 mins searching the web and you have used 5%, that is good.

roughly works out as like 8-9 hours usage? what's wrong with that rofl?

 

[Jaff.]

It's down to 90% after 40 mins usage so that only gives me 6 hours usage... I'd be happy with 9 hours!

 

[M4rk182]

If you want to change the Siri voice to female go to settings general Siri n change the language to English united states

 

[Tom]

But bear in mind the us voice isn't optimised for uk dialects

Mine lost 8% through the night in airplane mode last night until my alarm went off this morning. My old 3gs would have lost 1%, i hope it's not a hardware fault.

My wife's 3GS battery life is far better than mine on my 4. Our phones do the same on a night time but for some reason mine loses more power than hers.

No its not, standby time is significantly reduced.

4 S vs 3G S

[CHRIS172CUP]

Yeah fair play. But mine is technically losing 1% per hour, that's 100 hours standby and that's on airplane mode. Not the 200 hours standby stated on the spec.

 

[Tom]

Leave it on charge i guess. Wouldn't use any power then.

Or turn it off?

 

[M@tt_182]

Only had mine 3 days and it's sooo much quicker than the 3Gs! Finally having a flash on the camera is good too.

I use a dock at home so my phone is always 100% charged if I leave the house. I've not noticed a massive difference in battery life between the 4s and 3Gs either.

All in all a worthwhile upgrade

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Oh it's not drastic. I'll live with it as it's the phone i want. Just different to what i had.

 

[_Tom]

Im loving this wifi update. Sat in work and updated in 4 mins. My batteries always been good though, well, compared to my 3GS. Sods law it'll be shocking now..haha

 

[AndrewF]

God the batteries s**t on my 4s, having to charge 2 to 3 times a day! :S

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Either you're using the f**k out of that phone, or it's fucked.

 

[Dave Hester]

Having problems with Siri

He says he can only look for business's in the US

Anyone know how he can look for things in the UK??

 

[Tom]

Yeah, wait until 2012.

 

[Rob]

He can't.

UK version is only currently a beta effectively, places etc will be available in the new year.

 

[Dave Hester]

They never told me that in the adverts/promos/shops

Suppose its like buying a hd tv before hd channels even exist couple of years back

 

[Rob]

Siri still works, the UK adverts do not claim to be able to show you where your nearest tesco is, or anything of the sort.

The rest of the UK version still works fine, writing/reading text messages, checking the weather, setting an alarm....

Oh ok. I'd take it back. Get an android phone.

 

[eugegall]

Interesting link if anyone is bothered.

Obviously there are loads of costs not built into that build cost such as development. Which I'm sure will at least double their estimated manufacture cost.

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Not forgetting the software too.

 

[Tom]

LOL at that article. How much does a newspaper cost to make?

LOL i knew this would get you.

I was waiting..... :clown:

 

[Tom]

Yeah? Keep going. :clown:

 

[treemanx]

Is that article supposed to shock people?

 

[DannyR]

Fails to mention software costs etc... How much the new iCloud server costs to run and initial building costs.

 

[Dave138]

Vat? Shipping? Packaging? Typical Daily Fail.

Queue all the Android people in work tomorrow.

 

[172Ben]

Do they expect them to make it for a loss?
