iPhone 6 thread.

[McGherkin]

It'll only protect the rear of the phone, surely you'd be better off with an Otterbox in your line of work ?

I started from day 1 with a case similar to this

And I work in a very hard environment, and haven't smashed up my phone yet.

By the time everyone stops arguing about 'bendgate' and battery life the 7S++ will be out.

Will it, though ?

[Rasclart]

I am loving mine. Really liking the extra screen real estate. I came from a 5S so the battery (for me!!) is hugely better for how I use it. Love the feel of the phone. Not bent it in half either yet

Only bug bear. HURRY UP APP DEVELOPERS AND MAKE THE APPS NATIVE!!!

Hey mate,

Got this over the weekend, a clear Cygnett aerogrip case, it's nice and slim and adds no bulk to the phone! Had one for a year on my iphone 5!

That's really neat man, i don't know how it would look on my silver handset, though.

 

[Owen92]

So my 6 should be arriving between 11:33 and 12:33. Looking forward to playing with it before work tonight.

It's a clear mate like the other soft Spigeon one but with hard plastic. Nice bit of kit!

[Gareth]

Mine is finally being prepared for dispatch, can't wait.

 

[eves]

No worries mate, will post a few up tonight for you

 

[Owen92]

It feels like it! I ordered it a day after the preorder start date.

 

[Al_G]

Mine was supposed to be arriving tomorrow.

I received a text from carphone over the weekend advising that theres a shortage of stock (at Apples end) so i'll have to wait until the 24th unless I change my order to gold or silver....

FML.

Silver - the bosses choice !

Silver - the bosses choice !

The white face would make me question my sexuality.

 

[Owen92]

I've just got mine. Definitely glad I didn't go with a 6+.

 

[eves]

I held a 6+ for the first time this weekend! its far too big!

 

[Gally]

Smaller screen yet bigger than a Note 4!

 

[Al_G]

My mates got a 6+. He says he's embarressed to use it (phone) in public as people have a tendency to stare.

 

[Gally]

Flol! I thought I had held a 6+ when they first came out, then I realised it was a 6... 6+ is insane.

 

[Ray Gin]

Showed a few guys my 6 this morning in the gym and they thought it was massive, lol. Had mine since release day and I absolutely love it. Brilliant phone.

 

[eves]

The 6+ reminds me of the phone Dom Jolly used to carry around in trigger happy haha

 

[Al_G]

6+ will mainly be bought by women (and retarded men).

 

[.Simon]

I held a 6+ yesterday for the first time, it's stupidly big IMO.

I can see many users dropping it because it's so big, you can't really grip it with one hand.

 

[bampot]

I have that problem everyday bud, you get used to it, such a conversation starter at the urinals.

:wink:

 

[Gally]

I had to go have another look at the 6+... it gets bigger everytime I look at it.

I thought i'd want one to start with but no chance. Thing is so long looking!

New scandal is hairgate, people are getting their hair and beards caught inbetween the aluminium and glass, and I can attest to this as it happened to me today, got caught in my beard on the top of the phone.

 

[dk]

Hmm, I don't seem to be able to edit posts any more.

That's happened to me since the 4s

 

[DB.]

Discovered a clicking sound when I push the screen in by the on button, has anyone else got this?

Looked online and apparently in previous iPhones and this one, a fair few have had it. Seems too minor to take a phone back over, but kind of feel like I should?

 

[eugegall]

Impressed with this on Sunday.

Two of the guys I work with ordered the 6+ by default purely because it's the biggest phone.

Tested out the 6 and the Plus in store and the 6 is just a bit oversized. If you don't use a tablet then I guess it can offer the best of everything but I commute by train, want my phone to fit in my pocket when it has a case on it so the Plus is overkill. The normal 6 is a really nice jump up from the 5 without the phone ballooning in overall dimensions.

Completely agree with that.

 

[Pete Nov]

You guys must have pockets the size of a test tube if you can't fit the 6+ in your pocket. Don't get me wrong its a big phone but as its slim & sleek it fits absolutely fine in your pocket & I wear fitted/skinny jeans with 0 issues.

 

[Alex_225]

Physically it would fit in my pocket, I'm no beardy hipster tw*t but the normal 6 is more pocket sized.

Don't blame anyone for going for the 6+, it's a nice bit of kit and kinda gives you the best of tablet and phone.

Please don't lie, you stash it in your man bag

If I buy a sim free iPhone 6 direct from Apple does it lock to the first sim you put in it?

I'm on a sim only deal with EE now which ends in January, but will be moving to Talktalk mobile/Vodafone after that as I get 50% staff discount. (But unfortunately Talktalk mobile don't do iPhone contracts).

No it'll be unlocked for life.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Are you sure? This has been discussed before and I was told if you buy a SIM free iPhone directly from Apple, it'll lock to the first SIM entered... however if you buy an iPhone from a provider and then get it unlocked, it'll be unlocked forever.
