This is true, but then I'd have to be with Three!
Coverage not so good around here, certainly not for 4G and no visual voicemail (biggie for me but probably shouldn't be).
Plus..... no Kevin Bacon.

So my battery life is pretty meh, I'm actual pretty dubious that it was actually 6hours usage. The app store usage is from downloading tube map, city mapper and snapchat. Snapchat usage is sending maybe 10-15images. Streamed around 40mins of spotify.
This isn't just from 100%, it is including the time before I reached 100% since at that point in time I had only had the iPhone for 20hours all together (opened at 2am the night before then charged to full and unplugged at 10am that day so about 10hours standby at the max at that point).
Right now I have been really trying to limit what I'm doing on the device and its at 75% and 2hours usage~.
I have turned off a lot of the app location tracking features that run in the background and it seems like it is making a difference compared to other people I have seen.
I plugged in my standard IP6 exactly a week ago for its first charge. I unplugged it at 9pm 19th Sept. Since then it has had 2 more full charges and one top up charge from 50%-80% ish. So 3 and a bit charges in one week. Really happy with that. I think I will get more out of it next week as I will be working in areas that have signal. This week my battery has taken a battering from low signal functions as I have been on a site with almost 0 signal, so my phone has been searching for signal all week.
Might be worth checking the settings because there may be a lot of stuff activated that you don't want or need. I know when I went through the settings there was tons of stuff I didn't need the phone to be doing. But it is horses for courses I guess.
On a side note, my flip case finally arrived from O2 today! Pretty sleek. Finishes the phone off nicely.
It came with an in car charger. Should I trust the cable that came with it? I read a few pages back that the cables can be hit and miss and could damage the phone if they are cheapo ones? Anyone got any advice?

I had one and I got it replaced by Apple.
You don't buy a £700 phone to put up with a stuck/dead pixel, when they tout the screen as the main hardware feature!
Absolutely get it exchanged.

Yeah I've started disable more and more tasks, its just I rather not have to micro manage my smartphone for it to last one day. I was expecting the battery life to be double that of my Nexus 5, right now its not even as good since I don't have half of my apps on here yet, things like pocket cast, pocket, Facebook, FB messenger, Twitter, evernote, etc etc. I currently have some 20+ apps on my Nexus 5 with background refresh, scared to imagine how bad its going to be once I move over.
I will give it a week for it too hopefully improve, I know batteries need a few chargers before they hit their proper stride.

Depends which phone you have, but none of the new iPhone range will be double as good as the Nexus 5 as the battery capacity is the limiting factor.
Tom's hardware has a nice comparison review: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-6-battery-life,news-19591.html

I had a walk around the phone shops at lunchtime today and the only shop that had any iPhones that weren't securely nailed to the desks was the O2 shop. They let me handle both the 6 and 6Plus and see how they felt in the front pockets of my still trendy tight 501s. Based on how they both felt in my jeans and how they were when I handled them, I've ordered a 128Gb bendy in silver.
Just been told of a possible F&F discount from a friend at EE. Holding onto my order at the Apple store for now since it states a month off from now.It's also cheaper in the long run!
How does this work...the friends and family thing....my sister just got a 5s from T mobile but I asked her to wait and see what deals we could get on getting two iphone 6
She has been with t mobile for ages...is she eligible for a friends and family discount?
It's employee discount.
