Poll: iPhone 6...

[trentlad]

I can see why people queue up now, never saw why people didn't just go to the shop one week later... it's been over two weeks after release and every single Apple store and mobile shop is still entirely out of stock.

My mobile carrier said he's seen this twice before and to expect stock to be available in stores in about two months.

 

[MagicBoy]

Yep, was the same with the 4.

5S was in stock shortage for a while but for a different reason. Apple got the numbers wrong and over-produced the 5C while selling it at too high a price.

 

[Mynight]

Lol I've only just taken the plastic off my 6 (had since launch).

Is it just me or is the back a bit slick? It doesn't feel very grippy.

 

[Shadowness]

Is it just me, or does anyone else find the position of the power button annoying when you're taking photos?!

6+ is a man's phone

A man with a manbag?

Yes it is very slippery!

 

[Yaayuh!]

6+ is a man's phone

I disagree

I showed people at work and one of the girls said it wouldn't be a problem, because they rarely have pockets and put things in their bags/purse... Which is completely fair enough, most girls would do this so wouldn't be a problem at all.

So there you have it, the iPhone 6+ is for girls.

And more so since no man i know owns one but 4 girls i know do.

I get a good days use out of my 6. It's usually on about 10-20% when I get back home at 7 after unplugging at 8am. I'm pretty impressed by it. My HTC One usually conked out on the train back home.

That's with it just as standard, a few services shut off but tracking my steps/floors/distance in the health app. Those people getting 2 days out of the thing obviously aren't particularly heavy users, although I wouldn't class myself as a heavy user either.

My battery doesn't seem to be as good as my HTC one m7 (which always had awesome battery life for me) but I'm going to give it a few more days for the battery to calibrate.

I like the DND function but it stopped a 3rd party alarm clock app from going off this morning. Luckily I had also set the built in alarm clock or I would have been late for work! Is there any way of setting exclusions for particular apps, or am I destined to use the default alarm app?

Just out of interest, what extra features would a different alarm app give you?

Saying you get a good day's use ... just FYI 8am to 7pm isn't a day, it's embarrassingly poor. I really don't understand the quest for thinner and thinner phones just to hold the title of thinnest phone - "best battery life" would make for far more of a selling point!

The other app monitors my sleep (which it still does even if the alarm doesn't go off) and it has more pleasant alarms with a fade in period.

My battery life doesn't seem to be that good coming from an iPhone 5 32GB to an iPhone 6 64GB, I think it may be the lack of updated apps and iOS 8 IMO.

 

[cHk4]

Arrgghhh 6 or 6 + >< I have the phone in my pocket a lot not sure if the 6+ would fit in them?!?!

I use Sleep Cycle which still goes off if the phone is in DND mode.

+1, tried it for the first time last night..... Bucket loads better than waking up to an alarm.

Raging.

UPS are due to deliver a replacement iPhone 6 but they've rung my work number instead of my personal number, but failed to leave me any form of information so I can follow up the call.

Called UPS and the UPS delivery branch local to me but I may aswell be shouting out of the window. Called Apple but spoke to someone in the US, so I don't have any confidence they'll actually deliver tomorrow

 

[ShortWarning]

I use Sleep Cycle which still goes off if the phone is in DND mode.

That's what I used and it didn't go off until after the built in alarm went off (which was set to go off 5 minutes after sleep cycle).

Maybe iOS doesn't like 2 alarm apps being used? I'll try again tonight without setting the built in alarm.

Sleep Cycle has a built-in wake-up phase, check that as it tries to wake you when you are stirring rather than when in deep sleep.

I set the built in alarm to go off 5 minutes after the wake up phase has finished.

 

[shiver]

I tried Sleep Cycle a while ago but I've now taken to leaving my phone in a different room when I sleep. Use a 'normal' alarm clock to wake me

 

[Raymond Lin]

Can you only reserve when they have it instock ?!
