Poll: iPhone 6s & 6s Plus Thread

[Tunney]

Camera seems like a big step up from my 5S.

We'll manage get my 6s plus 16gb exchanged for a 64 gb earlier.

Upgrade

Hi,


I've contacted "three" via chat, and I'm on a 24 month contract (iphone 6 64 gig) i'm 11 months into it @£43 pm (was £99 upfront) and they said they could do """""The early upgrade fee after applying a discount is £534.44"""" and offer me £271 for good condition phone. Would want more than that mind. However, does this seem "ok" seeing that i could sell for at least £100 more so paying about £165 for iphone 6s (64 gig) ?

Btw, its 1 gig data, all you can eat etc.

Tia

You can buy that phone outright for £619, so a £534 upgrade fee is a bit of a joke, considering you're roped into a new 24 month contract. Personally I'd buy outright from Apple and keep your contract running for the term, then either upgrade to the 7 or another phone if desired, or go sim only

 

[jeezy85]

Could anyone confirm how much "actual" space there is on a 64gb because I assume the iOS9 takes up some space of the phone so you don't actually get 64gb??

55.4GB usable for me on the 6s Plus 64gb

I'd be very surprised if getting a new phone didn't entail a new 24 month minimum term being entered, but yes it would be cheaper in that case. As I said, highly unlikely! On the other hand, does the 6 to 6s seem like a worthwhile upgrade? I say this having done similar (6 to 6s Plus), but I feel like I can justify it with a bigger screen and battery too!

I'm guessing theres not a whole lot of usable space on a 16gb iphone 6s+

I took back a 6s+ 16gb for a 64gb yesterday as it got full quicker due to better camera and 4K video

wow..going from a 5s this is so nice.

i seem to have a issue with backing up to iCloud.

got a 6s 64gb.

but now my iPad and my new iPhone when I choose under iCloud / Backup / Backup now.

it does it and takes a while but then says something along the lines of "this action was unable to complete this time"


any idea why. I have pretty much 5GB free on iCloud.

I have also deleted my previous backups on the iPad and iPhone


Thank you

I got the same error on Friday, but I have 40GB of free space. I'm guessing it's the servers that are being slammed

 

[Chris344]

I like the 6s+ it's a decent upgrade, i wouldn't have upgraded unless the deal was sweet.

Can anyone who upgraded with EE and since had a bill produced tell me if their upgrade date has changed/extended in your online account portal?

 

[jeezy85]

Anyone here move from android? Liking it so far? Think I'm going to ditch my s6edge+ for a 6s plus

Everyone I almost know has a iphone..

I had the same issues.

Delete all previous backups and disable iCloud backups on all devices, switch them off and back on again then try to initiate fresh backups on each device - should work fine.

Hi Jeezy

What's the reason for wanting to switch other than all your friends seem to have them?

How long have you been an Android person?
Are you invested in Google and the Play Store?

Depending on the answers, it could be a decent move however, you won't find a 6s + in stock anywhere at the moment.

Order one direct from Apple for delivery in a few weeks, play with it for 2 weeks (completely swap sims, services and apps) and then return if you don't like it for a full refund. If you love it, sell the Edge+ and keep the iPhone. What colour and spec is your E+?

You won't know until you try it but the iPhone is still very limited in terms of customisation and features, for example there's no split screen view even thought the spec can handle it, Apple seems to have decided to 'save' that for the 7 - that bugs the hell me, but i'm invested.

About to head to a dept store today as they offer 2 year guarantee on their iPhones, going for a 6S 64GB.

Wife is getting my 16gb 5s and her 4s is getting traded in. She's not a phone person and asked for a nice compact camera instead, so that's Christmas sorted

wow..going from a 5s this is so nice.

That sounds positive as that's what I'm planning

 

[snow patrol]

i take it i won't have a problem heading out to central london today and picking up a 6s?

Must unimpressed with Vodafone, if I buy an iPhone 6S from Apple, they won't enable wifi calling as it's not a Vodafone iPhone or iPhone 6S contract. Having a laugh, maybe time to tell Vodafone to jog on.
