iPhone 6 thread.

[CrippsCorner]

First iPhone I'm honestly not going to buy Im bit disappointed with the design Steve jobs would never of let the camera lens be like that design was always key

More to do with Jonny tbh and he's still there...

 

[McGherkin]

I've never scratched/broken my iPhone glass. And that's with climbing around submarines all day too. I do keep it in a case though, I'm not barmy.

Screen protector + case ftw. Most people are on contract when getting these phone's and I for one am not going to have a trashed Iphone after 6 months with 18 to go and no way of getting out. These things costs serious cash nowadays, my advice is get a protector and a case the day you get the phone just in case, happy days.

#notballin - 12 month contract is how I roll.

 

[celicaturbolly]

lol high roller

 

[unofficialPete]

cracked front and back 4s held together with sticky tape, that's ballin

Any 'concrete' rumours on other devices? Mostly interested in a new iPad mini 3.

Same here never had a 24 month contract in my life and don't intend to start now! To be honest though before this year I always went on 18 month ones, but they seem to have disappeared now, via every single company, weird.

 

[MicKPM]

The cost of the handsets/devices now it's no wonder.

I am excited to see how Apple price these new devices. Samsung are pretty high considering the use of cheaper materials so will Apple price higher because they can or will they sustain/match the current 5S kind of area to try and win back some Android converts?

People buy an iPhone on contract? Srs?

Really? It wasn't the last time i had to buy one. Maybe things have changed i guess.

Yeah but that takes into consideration my usage. If you are a very low user it would be cheaper to buy outright. If you are medium to high user cheaper to buy on contract.

I always buy outright too it is cheaper.

My contract is £18, an iPhone contract is going to be AT LEAST £45 for 24 months. So that means an extra £648, and you'll only get the lower spec one for that!

Not true.

I paid £239 up front for mine, £35 a month with unlimited everything on a 12 month contract. Boom.

 

[Gally]

That's actually a good deal Euge. No 12 monthers like that anymore.

What do you mean mate? I did that last year on launch day, the one before that too. Suspect I'll do it this launch day too.

 

[Gally]

Looking at voda quick check on an M8. This is the deal...

 

[Gally]

5S comparison..

 

[DannyR]

Not true.

Is that an existing customer deal though? Because that sounds like a special to me! Lol!

 

[.Simon]

5S comparison..

Why anyone would go for a contract with just 100mb of data I don't know!

 

[Gouldy]

LOL at those 5S prices!!!!

My 5S is £37 a month, £30 upfront, 4G plan, 6GB, unlimited minutes, unlimited texts.

It would be.

Thats not bad, i'm paying £38PM 4G plan, 8GB unlimited everything else + 24M spotify premium. £0 upfront. But thats not a walk in deal.

 

[Gouldy]

It would be.

That's pretty good TBF.

I had the 6 month spotify but I hardly used it and Vodafone wanted to charge me for it after 6 months so I binned it off. Mine isn't a walk in deal either, I get 20% off through work. That's why I stopped paying cash for the handset and getting sim only deals because with the 20% off, I get the discount on the handset price too.

 

[Tom]

Yeah i'm running 30% which i doubt i'll get again. Gonna buy the 6 with cash. Keep this deal for another year and go sim only on the 6S.

 

[Gouldy]

I thought about getting the new iPhone, I've got about 18 months left on my current contract though so I doubt that that will be happening for me.

 

[Munson]

Event confirmed as September 9th.

The excitement in here is getting out of hand.

 

[Ricardinho]

I will probably upgrade purely down to that fact I get about 6-8 hours out of a full charge on my 5 these days. Does anyone know what kind of discount you can get for NHS staff?

It'd be network dependant I'd think. I don't know why certain sectors seem to expect these entitlements, though.

 

[Ricardinho]

Just a corporate benefit, most of the big companies have them these days.

 

[Alan]

No, I'm well aware of that, I have a 30% discount through Vodafone, it's not as of the NHS can give a 'discount' in return for their lack of service.

 

[Ricardinho]

Agree, I don't work for then but the mrs does, so in turn I will be getting something back from them at least.

 

[CrippsCorner]

I had a s**t day, then this... it cheered me up. Maybe I'm a sad b*****d but hopefully I'll soon be a sad b*****d with an iPhone 6 & iWatch

When I was buying my MBP my wife showing her work ID would've gotten me 6% discount. Student discount worked out around 18%.

I don't know if that is a set/standard scale though as I'm certain Apple give more when you spend more.
