iPhone 6S

[DannyR]

Weird.

I didn't even know there was an issue like this?

I was only told about it last night before doing it, by the guy I was doing it for. I said don't be so silly, and then it did it!

Googled it and it's very widespread.

Best to set up as new phone and update, then restore from backup

apple pay is boss. learn how to do it or forever be a pauper!

3d touch is handy though. expessially when more apps start using it.

best part about the whole phone is live pictures though. got some proper funny ones of some mates that you just dont expect. makes you realise how ugly people are just before and just after a picture though lol

I don't understand the live photo thing either lol.

 

[Jaff.]

I don't understand the live photo thing either lol.

it takes a video a second before and a second after you press the shutter on the phone so its like a harry potter moving photo thing.

hold your screen down in your picture library on a live photo and watch it move

I enjoy the live view function. Shame you can't send them to anyone without an iPhone or upload them. That would be cool.

Yeah managed to do some tonight. Its essentially just a short video with no sound right?

 

[Jaff.]

Ohh no it has sound.

I'm sure it won't be long until they are welcome on Facebook or such.

Flickr has already updated to accept 3dtouch so it's a step closer

Just ordered one with Vodafone. After working it out with @Goodj it just doesn't add up any better.

6S, 64GB, 12 months at £59 per month, £229 up front for the phone, £260 trade in for my 6 64gb... which was the identical scenario when I asked for what I wanted, i.e. to stick with the 6... madness! Works out mildly more expensive than buying the phone outright and going sim only, but I get 1GB less data that way, plus have £619 on a credit card...

On another note, wtf do EE think they're playing at??? £79.99 per month for their "complete 4Gee" setup, meaning I can change phones every 12 months, which comes with 50gb per month and no European roaming, just undisclosed "Packages" that are available when I arrive in the country?!?! f**k that!!!

 

[Adamm.]

Did you not see the deal on the last page mate?

£59/month is a bit pricey.

There are reasons chap, mostly his travelling means Voda works best

Genuine Apple £35 leather cases kept failing on my 5S within months (the port at the bottom would crack beneath the leather) so this time I shelled out a mere £8 on a Spigen case which has been ideal so far. Give Apple their due, they did replace FOC but it kept happening which got boring.

The only 6 I saw with a screen protector stuck out a mile away.

You're never going to get a flush/invisible fit with a screen protector on these. Unless the edge has a very sharp chamfer or the whole thing is curved.

I've still got mine waiting to go on when I'm done with this case/screen protector I have now

I've fitted 2 glass with halo effects & 1 PET this also shows a halo effect

 

[Goodj]

Never had a problem with Zagg covers.

Ok, you change them every year or so, if they start yellowing / peeling but they are, honestly, actually good. And I'm not one to give false praise

Ahh sounds fair. Three are meant to be really good abroad too but no idea on there deals.

Actually very impressed with the battery on this though..

 

[riz]

Is anyone having issues with voice mail.

It's a bit random on the notification front

Thanks bud but as well as Euro traveller as Goodj has said, 3gb isn't enough and 24 months contract. I do a lot of work on the phone so needs to be in warranty.

I went for a Ringke case from Amazon, been using them a few years now on my 5/5S/6S and they are a perfect fit and good quality.

 

[JD]

Definitely quicker. Logging in with Touch ID is substantially quicker.

Big difference from the 6 to the 6s in how quick it is

Indeed.

 

[CrippsCorner]

My mate bought a 6S last week and didn't have a clue what 3D Touch was until I showed him lol.

I still dunno how to use it

 

[CrippsCorner]

Press the screen? Seems pretty pointless with my 5 minutes with the phone... maybe it's better when you get used to using it all the time.

 

[Jaff.]

I use it quite often.

Great for scrolling around the keyboard fixing your spelling mistakes

 

[Knuckles]

It captures sound too.

I must say its not as fluid or polished as Apple made out in the teaser

I've managed some crackers personally.
I'd agree it's not as polished as they make it out to be but when is it ever?!

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah I had the volume down haha agree its not really great. Doesn't play very smoothly imo. Still cool though. The real fun though is slow mo with the missus jiggly bits.

The pop and peek thing is pretty much as advertised.

But then again, how could they c**k that up lol

 

[daydotz]

Has anyone else noticed a blank home screen or a grey wallpaper briefly after returning to the home screen

Or the keyboard not appearing in spotlight

Yeah that's disappointing if you have any sort of email to read other than the standard Apple one

Do yours struggle to load the content too?

 

[Jaff.]

No it's pretty s**t hot to be fair, but anything other than an email saying "I'm good thank you" is lost when peekabooing

 

[Knuckles]

That makes sense. When I try to view images/attachments in the pop and peek I just get a blank page

 

[Jaff.]

Yeah, needs some tweaking I think

 

[Adamm.]

I've not noticed any problems with that, I push on the email and it pops up all the contents of the email is there almost instantly. These are emails I've already opened before though. With safari I push on the tabs and it only takes a second or 2 to load the page in the pop out page.

Going shopping after this night shift and will be trying out the apple pay as it's set up properly now. Will be feeling like a right tech nerd so going to use self serve till to save face a bit :wink:.

Anyone upgrading this month and been checking out the deals? Best you've found?

I think I'm going for the 6s. Part of me wants the plus but I think it may be awkward for my small hands and pockets.
I'll need to get into a shop to feel it.

64gb minimum, silvers I think.

 

[Herr Flick]

I'm really liking the differences between my old Iphone 6 and my new 6s plus.
Touch ID is infinitely better and I like how you don't have to double tap the home button to go between apps now.

 

[Elfy]

Just got the 6s plus with Tesco mobile. £47.50 a month 64gb, 3000 minutes, 5000 texts and 2gb data. Plenty for me.

No upfront cost either. Best I could find

Apple finance?

I'm paying £29 a month on my 64gb.

£20 on a unlimited giff gaff bundle.

Job done.

Didn't know this lol so you push harder and swipe right? Just tried it. Glad because the 6s home button has a much louder click than the 4s and it was getting annoying.
