iPhone 6 thread.

[DannyR]

Thanks everyone else, I'll steer clear of leather, not a fan of the look.

ETA: oh hang on, the 6 leather is nice actually! Worth a look too.

Cheers chaps.

It is, I thought the same as you until I saw it. It's actually a hard case with a very thin leather covering!

 

[AdDaMan]

You know 'ETA' stands for 'expected time of arrival' right mate...??

Actually it's 'Estimated Time Of Arrival' [emoji6]

I work for the NHS and didn't think of using a discount... however just worked out my deal's still cheaper than yours without any discount lol. Maybe that's just Vodafone for you or something (I'm on EE)

 

[brisa4984]

made a mistake.. its 36/mnth


but yes with 60 quid cash back its still little cheaper.

 

[brisa4984]

what was the EE offer?

@dk

i knew it was bad, from the instant the girls appeared, but i had to stick with my mate who was on a mission and wouldn't listen, I'm very streetwise.

 

[CrippsCorner]

what was the EE offer?

Same as you... unlimited/unlimited/4Gb £290 upfront and £28 p/m. With yours @ £36 p/m it's only £31 difference over the whole term! f**k all :smile:

 

[Spiezels]

what was the EE offer?

I bought the phone outright and got, unlim text and call, 8gb data for £11 for first 6, £22 after.

12monther too.

Exactly what I did too, paying £29 a month for phone from Apple over two years and at 6 months I can change my tariff down to a cheaper one!

 

[The Russian.]

£99 upfront 128gb, unlimited texts,minutes and 4gb data.

£33 pm

4G?
Who with?

 

[The Russian.]

4G?

Yeah 4g....I think, should be as it said it was.

EE through mobilephonesdirect.

Went into EE and they said for 16gb it would be an £150 upfront, went on that website and asked if EE could price match, got a big fat no.

So ordered this instead, they sent me an email saying that it won't be here for the date they promised, so upped it from 2gb a data to 4, for the wait.

Do you have a link to this?

 

[The Russian.]

Yeah then when I clicked on the deal was no more.

My brother Inlaw tried to find the deal and couldn't.

Cheers. Didn't think so as i couldnt find it either.

Not bad at all. Would have liked another 12 month contract but I cannot leave my EE contract (i.e. go SIM only) as they've got me lol, free broadband for life.

Will be getting a six. How does everyone find it from the five, nice step up?

Originally I wasn't sure about the size and how fragile itd be but at the moment it's holding up well. When I use the girlfriends 5+ horrible now.

 

[Euan94]

I find it much better than my 5 although I'm not entirely sure why. It's just much nicer to use with the slightly larger size.

The lock button on my 5 being broken did contirbute to how much better it feels though.

 

[aucky]

Finally upgraded.

Despite being unable to restore from backup of previous phone due to a corrupt file, I'm really quite enjoying the 6! (Upgrade from 5)

I love Touch ID and the slightly zoomed screen setting. I'm hoping one handed grip improves when my case arrives.

Guess I'm eating my words a bit but could never go back to my iPhone 5S now lol... screen size increase is just brilliant, Touch ID is faster. I love it. It's definitely not the prettiest looking iPhone ever made but I think it's the best.

 

[imprezaworks]

I had another look at my sisters iPhone 6, it's too big. I'd be happy going back to an iPhone 5s

I thought that every time I played my missus, I got one and got used to it.

Just like 4 to 5, you get used to it.

 

[The Russian.]

You lightly double tap the home button and it lowers the screen. For people with short finger trying to press back

Bigger jump in size but know what you mean

 

[DannyR]

It's a bit awkward to handle at first due to the size, but you work it out quick enough when you start texting etc...

I thought I'd use the double touch quite a bit but have only used it once.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I've said it before on here but it took me less than an hour to get use to the size... and now using anything smaller seems like a kids phone! I used the double tap thing loads to begin with, but not so much now.

Two hands/two fingers? It's quite simple really.

I've no idea why dinky screened iphone users can't get their heads around or are so resistant to this technique when you get the joy of a proper usable screen as a result.

 

[V6Dan]

Never new that!

 

[Alastair.]

Just got, iphone 6, free phone, unlimited texts, 600mins and 500 data. £30.50 per month. Perfect for what I need.

 

[CrippsCorner]

500Mb data? Pretty bad deal imo, unless you never use your iPhone outside of your home!

 

[Euan94]

My home buttons gone a bit 'clicky' when pressed towards the bottom. Can't really describe it any other way, still works fine but might get it looked at.

Presumably they will replace it no worry if it gets worse?

 

[Ray Gin]

Time for a new screen....how much am I looking at? It's cracked all over.

 

[DannyR]

I think apple for £99, apple site has all details.

 

[Goodj]

£7.50 per month, forever.
unilimted calls
unlimited text
1gb data
T-Mobile.

Same iPhone 5 I've had for the last 2 years. Can't afford to replace all my jeans and trousers with ones with XXL pockets.

 

[DannyR]

I get that with EE at £10.99 and 5GB and 4G

 

[Simon_16v]

Bought a 64GB space grey 6 last week after being fed up with my Galaxy S5 after 6 months. I'm glad to be back with an iPhone, it was nice to login to my account and all my contacts are still there

 

[Ray Gin]

If anyone else happens to need a new screen on their 6, apple charge £79 and it only takes them 45min-1hour to do.
