So, who's getting one?

 

[Mr_Cool]

Maybe maybe.

Android to iPhone transition.

Waiting for battery life and If I can get a decent price for my current phone

 

[scottomus0]

Do we know when the networks release their pricing?

i assume most people would be buying a sim only contract when doing the upgrade programme?

so it would be the monthly cost of phone plus £x for provider?

 

[RJC]

Stick a poll up

 

[Vertigo]

The comparible iPhone 7 (the plus) is over £150 more expensive and worse in pretty much every way? The S7 also has a funky curved screen, and (I can't believe I have to list this) A headphone port!

Yawn. Go troll somewhere else.

Seen it supporting raw files mentioned but it's not on apples site? Does it support raw?

 

[Vertigo]

Wow didn't know the upgrade program included ac, I never sell my old phones so it's no loss to me just means my kids don't get my old phone.

So the upgrade program basically gets you a new iphone and ac every year for what is at this years price point about £550, if I'm right on that it seems a pretty good deal and I'm even more trmpted now

Hang on that sounds almost reasonable?! Where's this pricing at exactly?

Good info here

[Steedie]

I don't think I've used the headphone port once on either my 6+ or 6S+, won't miss it in the slightest

Hoping I can sign up to the upgrade program whilst I'm here in Edinburgh. Well as long as I can do it before my train leaves on Friday!

 

[Terminal_Boy]

That was in the Lightroom App section. RAW file access might be app specific?

 

[Chris1712]

I was all ready for a Jet Black middle tier plus, but the extra £120 price hike has put me right off! I felt quesy handing over £699 for my 6+ so £819 is madness imo.

 

[londonbairn]

Wait so the upgrade plan basically means at worse you pay the same as buying it outright?

 

[thep02]

Maybe maybe.

Equally tempted.

If the upgrade program also includes ac and costs about £550 pa at the model I want, 7 plus 32gb, it seems like a pretty good deal as I always give my old phone to family so no loss of sale value.

Never been remotely this interested in an iphone.

 

[RJC]

Wondering what todo, was hoping the 128gb would be near the 64gb price I paid last year!

 

[pumaz]

Not me, I had iPhone up to 4 but I just like the flexibility that android phones offer and would miss it if I went back. Still have a ipad and a MBA so still in the eco system/walled garden

 

[Vertigo]

This is what doesn't make sense to me.

The "representative example" on the UK site mentions £718 which sounds like £599 for the 7 32G plus £119 for AC+. That's financed over 20 months interest free, so after that period you've paid the same as if you bought the phone and AC+ outright, PLUS you can upgrade to next year's model after 12 months?

How is that not a no brainer? Where's the catch?

 

[fez]

Want jet black in 128 but it's 819

 

[Bluecube]

Seen it supporting raw files mentioned but it's not on apples site? Does it support raw?

From what I saw in the keynote speech, the 7 can take raw pics. Nothing else really mentioned unless I missed it.

 

[lmfy2k]

You pay equal amounts per month for 20 months, 0% finance

After 12 months you can upgrade for free but the 20 months interest free starts again. You hand in your iPhone each time. After the next 20 month period the iPhone is yours.
