Still not going back to WC?

At some point i will, this case isn't really suited to it and i don't want to mod it at all.

Finally got round to buying Unravel. Really unique puzzle platformer. Looks fantastic in 21:9 :cool:

Some backward compatible goodness for the Xbox

(Reach has now been patched again and supposed to run fine now)

I'm after Red Dead Redemption GOTY as well, where did you get it from may I ask, and how much was it?

256gb jet black iPhone 7. £680. Crazy price I know. But if I keep it for a year that's money well spent

What if you want to listen to music though?

Mobius 1 · 16 Oct 2016 at 00:34

I'll use Bluetooth headphones ? Or use the audio jack adapter that comes with it ? To be honest. I don't really listen to music with headphones anyways.

Not exactly a crazy price, literally tens of millions of people have them

Mobius 1 · 16 Oct 2016 at 00:43

I'm pro android and pro apple. This device is most excellent though I must say.

I got the same but in the non-fingerprint-magnet black edition

Forgot to post a photo on here.

I'm rather liking it... a nice speed bump over the 6s+

£680 doesn't seem that bad... I thought it was closer to £900 on the Apple site.

Mine came with a contract though so I only paid £200... plus I get to upgrade at the end of 12 months to the next model, rather than waiting 2 years.

I was considering dropping Apple this iteration because of the lack of headphone jack... but then I thought about how much I even listen to music on the phone (not much) and also in many years of owning mobile phones... I can't recall ever listening to music at the same time I've been charging my phone. When charging... I have speakers connected to other devices.

I don't like bluetooth headphones though because of the lackluster audio quality.

I tend to only listen on headphones when I'm travelling... like on a plane... and for that scenario, I'm not too bothered about carrying the little dongle with me... still a little annoying, but not the end of the world for using it 2-4 times per year. What will be annoying though... is if I forget the dongle!

I got it pretty much vat free. They had no other colours left in stock and I wanted one today. So snapped it up. I know this will pick up finger prints and scratches easily. But I never sell my phones on so it doesn't bother me.

It feels so premium. Loving it. Was gonna get a pixel but google don't ship to my location so. They lost a sale

I just don't understand why someone would spend nearly £700 on a phone for a year. Mind you I spend money on things other people don't appreciate. So I guess it's a case of different strokes for different folks. Nice phone though. Enjoy

Fair enough - sounds like you got a good deal

I'm enjoying mine too... the pixel looks nice.

The OnePlus 3 was catching my attention... I just couldn't stand going back to Android again - I might try it again in a few years. Although on this yearly upgrade plan, Apple might keep me a while longer...

I was quite happy with the deal I got from EE... both me and the wife needed new numbers after moving back to the UK and with their extra sim offer... it was only £12/month more to get an extra number for my wife to share my unlimited minutes/texts/25GB data deal.

£72/month for two numbers with that allowance + £200 upfront for a 256GB iphone 7+ with a 12 month upgrade option doesn't seem too bad to me.

Plus as it happens, the new company I'm working for are paying the bill anyway instead of giving me a second work phone.

Also you can look at it another way... it sounds like Tauren might keep his phone longer than me... but I tend to upgrade every year and sell the last one... that £700 phone will still be worth £400-500 in a years time if it's in good condition... so the upgrade next year will only be an extra £200-300. So it's not £700 for a year, it's ~£200/year after the initial investment.

Sounds like you got a good deal too ! So glad I got this now. The plastic antenna lines have picked up some micro scratches already haha. Ah well that's life
