Poll: iPhone 6...

[Fuggan]

Good to hear, will report back when I have popped in to the store.

 

[Nick1881]

Ah mine has a small grey are to the side of the front facing camera, noticed it last week. Will have to take mine back too.

Has anybody found a screen protector that protects more than just the screen area? They hardly even cover the screen to be perfectly honest, unless you get the alignment 100% perfect which is basically impossible.

Only ones that protect all but the curved area.

Just had a look....

Used 104gb

Available 9.9gb

However, the largest allocation is music at 50gb, and everything else added together only makes an extra couple of gb.

In iTunes the bar along the bottom which visually shows your storage use, shows 50gb of 'other'

Something not right here.

To be fair I seem to recall missing about 10GB on My 128GB 6 right at the start (or rather from out of the box 14GB was used, which I think is pretty dodgy myself)

and even now I have ~58GB used and ~56GB available - clearly nowhere near 128GB.

I have used 5.0gb and have 51.1gb free on a 64gb version. Not sure where the rest has gone.

But hasn't that been the case with all forms of storage?

Mechanical disks yes, just checked both my Samsung ssd's and they exactly match quoted storage

 

[CorrectHorseBattery]

Does iOS report file sizes in MB or MiB as that's a differentiator in itself.

iLoome screenmate claims to be the first, Spigen do some for some Samsung phones but apparently not the ip6 yet.

 

[Greboth]

Anyone else have trouble with the facebook app? mine crashes within a couple of seconds of opening no matter what I seem to do.

 

[jas72]

Yay updated to IOS8 now the phone doesn't want to connect to the car via usb


Only got the car 3 years ago

could an iPhone 6+ effectively replace an ipad? My ipad 3 died recently and iphone 5 contract is up for renewal/upgrade etc in march. Tempted to instead of getting an ipad air and a sim only contract and keeping iPhone 5, just getting iPhone 6+ and using it as both basically

 

[Eddie182]

I'd say so yes. Although not for everyone.

Personally my iPad has seen much less use since I got the 6+ but I still wouldn't want to be without one. Although I find myself using both for the same things when at home, I just sometimes prefer to use the iPad for the bigger size.

 

[NooBish AbbZ]

does the iP6+ automatically go to the mobile site when browsing on safari? or like my ipad used to do, go straight to desktop site

No.

I have an iphone 6 + and an ipad 3 and the ipad is what i'll be using in the evenings, nice big screen for browsing, games and video etc.

If it was an ipad mini you had then i'd be tempted to not replace it.

Watched Panorama's "Apple's Broken Promises" last night...show the shocking working conditions in Apple's china factories and it's tin supply chain.

I'm sure many other companies are involved too but with Apples giant profits and bank roll (half a trillion dollars?) I'm sure they could improve working conditions for their workforce.

Apple is the most valuable brand on the planet, making products that everyone wants - but how are its workers treated when the world isn't looking? Panorama goes undercover in China to show what life is like for the workers making the iPhone 6. And it's not just the factories. Reporter Richard Bilton travels to Indonesia to find children working in some of the most dangerous mines in the world. But is the tin they dig out by hand finding its way into Apple's products?

To make matters even worse.

Just watched through it and its pretty stomach churning, and makes me even sadder that Tim Cook would be offended given how much he "cares" about the world.

 

[muffins]

Click bait from the BBC…

God, they've really gone down hill.

 

[Fallen god]

Its really not click bait, just watch the video theres a lot of legitimate issues, moreover when they show Tim Cook himself saying said issues where fixed.
