iPhone 6 thread.

[DannyR]

Friends and Family get 30%, employees allowed 5 others on it I believe. Mother in Law is friends with someone who works at Vodafone and gets it.

Just brings their prices down to other operators though, Vodafone seem hella expensive compared to most and the coverage and service reliability is shocking.

Looking forward to getting the 6, I miss out all of the S/C crap and just get the first of the next gen. My 5 doesn't feel old or slow though, 32gb launch model, edges are marked so hopefully the new one will be less scratch resistant.

 

[Gouldy]

Can't wait to upgrade having had the 5 from launch. (September 20thish 2012).

Tempted to go for a 4G contract this time, I'll definitely be going 32GB again as well.

20% off with Voda through work which is nice.

I get the 20% VEA discount through work. I can have 5 family of friends on it too.

Its a a pretty decent saving IMO. I get unlimited minutes and text and 6GB of data, 4g plan with an iPhone 5S for £37 PCM.

 

[McGherkin]

I've got a 4 & a 5.

I still stand by the fact there's nothing wrong with the 4 however the updates have slowed the phone down a ridiculous amount!
Typical Apple.

Yup. Not cool. I held off on iOS7 for as long as possible but ended up biting the bullet - it was faster for a few weeks then slower than before thereafter. Fcukers.

Shame if the new one is getting bigger. I was hoping for the same size or smaller because I was thinking of upgrading but this is just getting daft.

 

[Gally]

I can get the 20% off also. Just wondering, you don't have to be on the same account or anything?

Just upgrade then fill in the paperwork after? My Mum has it on hers through my Dad, they did it in store.

I'm still in ios7.0 for this reason.

Yeah that's what I get. Better than a kick in the teeth.

That's what I did with the mrs last time. I wasn't at this company last time I had a new phone but will use it for myself this time.

 

[Strell]

I believe you always have to reconfirm your discount. I have been getting the friends and family, each time I get a new phone (always been doing the 12 months) if I upgrade or get a new one you have to apply the discount after.
They said this is to stop people from getting the discount once and it then forever staying on their account even if they no longer work there/no longer are friends.

 

[Gally]

This should keep you guys wet for a bit...

 

[JD]

I'll get one once the rush eases off after launch date. With 4g. I just hope the option of Spotify Premium with Vodafone carries on.

 

[ColinG]

That picture doesnt excite me in the slightest

 

[Paprika123]

I get 30% off with Vodafone so it sort of makes iPhone contracts look reasonable in comparison with other handsets.

Now now boys, I get 40% with EE. Lol

Snap. As said. It has to be rimless for me to want it. Just like any other one IMO.

 

[Munson]

It's a phone. What are people expecting? It's very unlikely that a completely borderless phone will be on the market any time soon. And if it were, the first thing you'd hear the following day would be people complaining how they cracked their screen on the edge. I'm beginning to really hate the entitlement world in which we live.

Design your own f**king phone.

You're old right? You like to remind us every now and then!!

I just want the sides to be boarder less. Obv...

looks ok, never been one to like the white iphone though, would be nice to see a black one

Like this little beaut!!!

 

[Munson]

I said design. Not render.

 

[eugegall]

All other phone companies can manage it. I'm sure Apple can.

I bet if you did a survey it would be 8:2 for the one i posted above compared to the one gally posted.

 

[Munson]

Show me a picture of a real phone that has a non-existent screen border such as the render you posted?

 

[ColinG]

I'll be happy if it looks like that picture actually, as it means I'll probably be happy with my 5S, which means I can get a new iPad instead.

Either way apple win lol

 

[Munson]

By the way, a recent survey suggested that eight out of ten Apollo astronauts preferred Mars over the Moon.

Another iPhone 6 page but this time its giving dates of release

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...phone-6-release-date-news-and-rumours-1099865

it even goes on about the potential wireless charging which makes sense because they drew the last few pounds out of charging excessories last time round lol

 

[paddymph]

Hoping for something new and exciting. I love reading the rumours but it's better when they blow you away with something you just didn't see coming.

I watched the original iphone unveil the other day, still amazing!

That's mad. Ive never seen that before and it seems strange seeing everyone get excited about 'swiping' etc.

 

[paddymph]

I know mate. But look at the competition at the time. Apple
really were so far ahead then.

 

[Rich-D]

really were so far ahead then.

Not that far ahead, the first one was poor in some areas, no picture messaging, crap camera without a flash, no GPS, etc, however, it was brilliant in other areas and it kick started a revolution...

We have a lot to thank the original iPhone for TBH

 

[paddymph]

Actually Rich you're right mate. I remember messing with my mates and thinking it doesn't have bluetooth, you can't picture message and it's got a s**t camera! Weird. Maybe they were playing the long game ha

Really enjoyed that. Never seen it before either, it really was something else. I love how back then everything was completely secret and they didn't have a clue what was going to be unveiled.

Also Steve Jobs what a legend!

 

[paddymph]

Agreed. It's a feel good piece for some reason??!

 

[Dan]

The old iPhone is the reason why we have choice of so many good phones now

revolutionary, with room for improvement.. for a reason. leave things for the next models or they wouldnt sell! perfect business sense.

 

[Deeg]

People keep going on about how we know more now pre-release. But the reality is, we don't. There are a few pictures of things, and a bazillion rumours.

Yes, some of the rumours will be true, but a broken clock is right twice a day, FFS.

Anyway, I could do without it getting much bigger. Other than that, I will probably upgrade in January at my contracts end. I don't really like other phones as a rule (sweeping generalisation) and I'm not a techy, so Android doesn't float that bubble for me.

 

[DannyR]

The only thing I'm worried about is it being bigger, the size needn't change in anyway.

 

[Rich-D]

Actually Rich you're right mate. I remember messing with my mates and thinking it doesn't have bluetooth, you can't picture message and it's got a s**t camera! Weird. Maybe they were playing the long game ha

More than likely part of a clever strategy, so they can add features to later models and sell more phones, so definitely playing the long game.
