iPhone 6 thread.

These are the best I can come up with at the moment (6+):

 

[Gally]

Quite a nice case. I don't think I could have a case these days after years of not using one.

 

[eugegall]

So what the deal with sending an unused phone back to Vodafone. My Mrs is getting her delayed 6 Plus today but can she open it have a feel and send back if she doesn't want it?

Thanks

 

[Gareth]

I've tried a few over the years and the Apple is the best to have IMHO.

 

[MicKPM]

Any pics of the leather cases?

I'll take one later but it's by far, at present anyway, the only choice. It gives you grip, protects the device and is slim... Perfection

I would have thought so mate, back in the day (before I got the first iPhone!) I had a Nokia N95 IIRC with Vodafone and had it out of the box & setup for a number of days, didn't get on with it and took it back with no issues. I then got the iPhone and didn't look back.

Exactly this, they are quality, give much better grip (makes it a lot harder to drop the phone) and they are about as slim and hugging as they come, they also don't compromise on functionality (the ability to use the buttons etc)

When into the Apple shop on Friday to have a gander because this is the first iPhone I haven't bought on release.
Glad I didn't bother tbh, definitely not enough of an upgrade over a 5S IMO.
Felt nice to hold but that's it. Interested to hear about real world battery life though.

Oh and the 6+ FLOL. I already have an iPad mini.

 

[MarcB]

Looks good but going on reviews the power and volume + button don't work with case on.

Im im just waiting for the Tech 21 D3O case to be released. I only opened my phone box last night (Sunday) so I'm in no rush to use it

I did my first real day with my 6 yesterday. From 100% at 7am with calls, camera, FB, TappaTalk and WhatsApp action, 32% remaining when I clocked off at around 9pm

I hear the 6+ is even better

 

[willcrook]

significantly better battery life than the 5 imo despite not being advertised as such

 

[Bubbles]

I charged my 6+ and left the house at 1:15pm on Saturday - went to a wedding, so the phone was in use until midnight on Saturday night taking photos

Then used it all day sunday. Charged it last night when I went to bed with 10% left

 

[MicKPM]

I will always travel with my USB charge cell though as I've not really used it tethered to my MBP yet.

This man knows.

You get anything you paid to Vodafone back. Won't get return costs though but it nothing when it comes down to a phone.

Even if you open the box have a play and send back?

To be fair she should just go to the local store to have a play if she's that concerned.

That sounds decent tbh. Battery is the only let down on mine. I'm at 50% as I type and its f**king 10:48!

Your battery must be fucked then.

 

[MicKPM]

Is that with a 5 or 6? Facebook seems to be the biggest draw in my battery. I do admit to closing all Apps that I'm not using to which must help.

 

[AdDaMan]

Dya reckon?

 

[MicKPM]

If the battery usage stats in iOS8 are anything to go by

Check and see if background refresh is on also, I imagine that will have an affect.

Could be different with phones but it shouldn't make a difference. As long as she doesn't turn it on you should be fine.

Google distance selling regulations and see if there is anything regarding electronics that are registered. Most contracts do state that there's 7 days leeway anyway, I know my three one last year was like that. Could return the phone within 7 days.

Cheers mate.

Personally can't see why anyone would want a bigger phone than the 6. Its ideal!!

That's what you/they were all saying about the 4 until the 5 came along, then you/they were saying the exact same thing about the 5 until the 6 came along.

Apple have really thrown a spanner into it the works now though LOL

I predict 6 v 6+ wars in due course.

 

[Gally]

50% after 3 hours?

 

[Gavin.]

Just got my 64gb 6 and love it. Such a nice upgrade over the 5.

 

[AdDaMan]

50% after 3 hours?

Yep. Now on 35%

 

[MicKPM]

50% after 3 hours?

Yeah that's not right mate, check what's running in background and kill it. I've hammered FB this morning but here's mine so far



Notice I'm running Blutooth to!

 

[AdDaMan]

Hmm, I have 2 days left of warranty lol might have to go in!

[daydotz]

I've got the blue but I wish I went for green

 

[Rasclart]

I buckled and ordered one. Should get it the end of the week.

Rolling naked is the only way! Not a fan of covering up a beautiful phone. Just be careful with it. I am a clumsy fool but largely have managed to not to smash mine about for years.

 

[_Tom]

Been using the Mrs 6 over the weekend. 100% not getting me back from my Nexus yet. Her battery is crap also so think there's got to be something up with it.

We found naked it doesn't sit your hand nice. She went with the Apple case and it does feel very nice in the hand after.

Side by side how does the screen on the 6 compare to the N5?

Yep, 7-days. Some may say that opening and trialling the goods is "acceptance", hell CPW-online thinks taking a SIM out of its holder is acceptance.

No, 7-days, no quibbles, you don't like it, send it back. Basically, you've not had a chance to look at and try the product prior to purchase, so you can send it back for full cancellation. Thats statutory law right there.

 

[_Tom]

Not as big obviously and the picture is better on the N5 but nothing I'd ever worry about. It's also noticeably slower when surfing the web when I had them side by side on our wifi.

I've gone for an S5 over the 6. Was so dissapointed, it seems exactly the same as my 5s when on IOS8.
