has everyone lost all sense of reality. its £200 off a phone released last year. geez it should be half price

it is the 6 and not the 6s- just thought I would say this for anyone who thought it was the latest version

Well, I`ll say it again. Apple profits for their last productive year meant that they could afford to give a fiver (£5) to every man woman & child on the planet, just from those 2014-15 net gains. They`d still be left wuth colossal revenues from other fiscal periods. Not hard to see why. A near-six hundred pound, previous model phone going flaming hot on HUKD. You`ve got to hand it to the Cupertino wizards, the spell they cast on the hapless masses is astounding. :neutral_face:

Price is what you pay, value is what you get.
The main appeal of the iPhone for me is, direct software updates, no carrier or manufacturer bloatware, great post sale customer service support. Now is that worth the premium over android products - that's your call.

Android is still crippled by operators and manufacturers fetish to differentiate (probably borne out from the legion of mindless MBA's running these companies), the hardware is the best but its badly let down by the software mods and support. It's a failure if the first thing you need to do is root a phone to release the o/s and hardware from the artificial straight jacket.

Hot! :stuck_out_tongue:

Have some heat as it's Christmas. Stonking deal by the way.

Its gonna get hot in here :smiley:

Good find

it is the 6 and not the 6s- just thought I would say this for anyone who thought it was the latest version

Where's the rose gold though?. :disappointed::stuck_out_tongue:

Look what you have gone and done, upset the droids on Christmas Eve :smiley:

Update, they may be upset but they still manage to like the android comments and it get top of the page, and plenty of moaners about, come on droids it's Christmas try and be nice on a apple thread once a year.

Yeah people are desperate for attention that have a rose gold one

Voted cold. Its apple. Android is better. Just kidding- voted hot from my ipad

Are these permanently network unlocked, or lock to first network used?

has everyone lost all sense of reality. its £200 off a phone released last year. geez it should be half price

i always get jealous when i see a guy with a rose gold = PINK iPhone, i think he's brave :wink:

Ridiculous deal, paid more for my missus 64gb iPhone in Rose Gold a month or two ago. How annoying.

Good price, too late for a Christmas present.

Good ish deal but John Lewis ones lock to first sim card rather than apple direct which are fully unlocked.......

Off topic but find it ridiculous that so many phone manufacturers don't offer a simple 2 year warranty without having to pump your EU rights, etc. Good price for an iPhone though.

I paid £789 for mine less than a year ago. Should never have updated to ios9 as imo it's seriously degraded performance of the device, poor from Apple I have to say.....

I've had the 16Gb version for 9 months, good phone and still flies with iOS 9.2 and will last 2+ days on light usage. It is prone to bending though if you don't have a strong case and have quite tight pockets. Great for video due to size and resolution, but downside is in portrait orientation it's not the most ergonomic for most websites where the navigation is at the top of the screen.

a bit like people desperate for attention on hukd by posting irrelevant comments. Ring any bells?

Although this is a hot deal, as it's currently the cheapest you'll get this handset, other than refurbished, it still presents poor value for money for a one year old handset.

I've no doubt there head line 128GB capacity will really draw people in, but consider the NAND flash is this costs a sum total of approximately $30, then would the 16GB one get the same heat, or be judged fantastic, I think not.

Think carefully before jumping in with this, when there are offers on there new models popping up from time to time, I've just had the 64GB 6S with 10% off, and 7% cash back. :smiley:

Yes I told my mate Dan he has choosen a girly colour and now people will think he is gay!

If only this was the 6s.....

for 1gb ram with 1.2mp camera that's some expensive handset.lol

Just rang john lewis and spoke to one of the guys and he goes all iphones are fully unlocked and it "WANT" get locked to the 1st sim you put in, it can be used with any sim.

Off topic a bit, but no deal on the 6s anywhere?

Yes its open LOL the guy even goes you get a FREE full cooked turkey in the post with the phone if you order by midnight. MERRY XMAS!

Exact same here. Not allowed to move back iOS versions and it takes forever responding. Is just a lump of metal now thanks for the latest iOS's which I thought would not have crippled the bug*er

Pfft the good deal from Apple hasn't been born yet and probably never will. Colder than John Carpenter's The Thing before it was released from it's icy tomb. Apple is for brand-slaves...

Just sold my 3 year old note 2 for £120 and I only paid effectively £200 for it.

Not a bad deal, consider the best deal you will get out of Apple them selfs is a 12 month interns free on a over £ 500 spend

I honestly don't understand how a phone is worth this much money - what does it have inside? Is it made of mithril? Is it powered by an arc reactor? This is a genuine, non Apple bashing question before hunting season gets officially open on me :wink:.

​my Ipad 1 lasted 5 years

Amazon are doing the 64gb 6s plus in rose gold for the same price apple sells the 16gb

No one else makes a BMW apart from BMW. I think you are mistaking what I am comparing.

You buy a phone to do a job for you, make calls, use apps, email, surf the net etc some of these jobs are shared by many but each person will weigh each job to be done differently. So when you are comparing products then i am comparing them on the jobs to be done and therefore comparing iphone vs android phones is valid in those terms.

As to differentiation then what are you differentiating on. Take for example the iphone whether i buy that from Vodafone, JL etc it will be the same phone except one will be locked. Now if the operators add their own bloatware then they are homogenising the product ie Voda will add its bloatware to LG, Samsung, Sony etc. So what are they actually doing other than making the phone less differentiated not more.

Also where else do operators differentiate? Price, customer service and network quality. So why do they need to also hamstring the product as well?

a lot of bugs on iOS 9, and you can't downgrade to old version. In my opinion, the best version was iOS 7.1.2 really fast performance, but unfortunately Apple still control a customer.

But that is exactly the same with Nexus devices bloatware free regardless where you buy or network.
For the others it's down to profit/price etc by placing bloatware encouraging use of own products or subsidised by other companies think like the dreaded McAfee trials or Norton etc.

Can you provide a link? I cannot find it on Amazon website.

l still use my ipad 1 :stuck_out_tongue:

yeah im not an apple fan anyway but it is a ridiculous amount for an yr old phone !! :-)
Mind you im even miffed at myself for getting carried away & buying a refurb s6 for £250 last week which was on here :-( (I really need my head read - all I will use is the camera really so Why did I buy it :-( )

Crazy that this is looking to be deal of the day on Xmas Eve.
If there is a Santa I hope he gives it 2000 degrees cold.
You could buy an S5 AND a Z3 for this price (also last years phones).

Only 1GB Ram, but at least with it being 64 bit you get allowed most IOS functions.

Good deal based on the RRP but poor show from Apple keeping this old tech at that RRP - heat must be for the discount

Well didn't win nothing with flamedeer but scooped a hotspot badge as a Xmas present .Thanks ppl white candy cane flamedeer bribes will be sent in the post . :smile:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iPhone-Version-SIM-Free-Smartphone/dp/B015DRJ1O0/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1450995307&sr=8-8&transaction=device_only&keywords=iphone+64gb+6s+plus

Last one, best be quick.

This is a ticking timebomb, the last iOS update already slowed this down noticeably, it's stutters and drops frames more so than before. 1GB of RAM is a big constraint for this device when the new iOS devices all have 2GB at least. It's just not very future proof at all, I wouldn't even pay £300 for this, let alone £600.

Has anyone got any idea how long this price & discount will last for? Will I get a cheaper iPhone 6? My four-year-old 4s doesn't have a text or ring sound/vibe anymore.

​and we all know about BMW drivers :wink:

Im not going to vote either way. Yes its less expensive but yet its so expensive for what basically is still a phone.

? what they are hard working + have good jobs and like fuel efficient cars at the forefront of technology? Send drivers of other inferior cars mad so that they make petty puns on the internet?

LG G4 has better specs all around at half the price. Yes, it's Android. Don't get me wrong - I don't even like Android (prefer Windows - previous phone was Lumia 920). However, I am happy to spend a few days looking through unfamiliar menus to save a few hundred pounds.

​I'm happy with my 3l audi thank you but carry on

Looks like a good price for an iphone(from an Android user). Voted hot! :smiley:

Hope everyone understood that this is "iPhone 6" and NOT 6S
I feel deal already for 6S for £820ish with 2 year calls/texts/data is better than going for 6 Plus !!

this or the iPhone 6s plus? i don't need 128gb to be honest 32gb would be plenty i have an iPhone 4 at the moment and thought it might be due for an upgrade, any thoughts guys i quite liked ios 6 but unfortunately the phone has become sluggish and apps are becoming outdated.

also just to add I've always used apple because of the simplicity and ease of using the iPhone 4. Any contenders in the android market ? looking for a nice change thanks

People this is last years iPhone this is about the right price I wouldn't considered this a hot deal, not voted either way

Phew! Saw this and thought oh crumbs was I ripped off, no.

I paid £485 for iPhone 6 64gb from Argos using 10% off voucher.

Voted hot from me.

You can use Apple Pay on the iPhone 6

Ahh must be the 5 I'm thinkin of that can't use Apple Pay my bad

The iphone 6 plus was never £789 was it?

I still use mine still works too but many apps not supported sky soon to join to

So have they come down in price then since last year? The 6S Plus 128gb is £789 now.

Why is there so much hate on Apple stuff?

Fact is this is over £700 in Amazon at the moment from what I saw. So this makes it a great deal. Whether you value the phone on the listed price is irrelevant. What others consider good value is up to them.

This is definitely a hot deal. Voted from my Z3.

nearly 600 quid for a phone....... okay.......

Trust me, you don't want to see him in his g-string.

Buy a nexus 6p guys u won't regret it

Interesting. Because I recently sold a 9 month old HTC M8 for £240. Which I had paid £240 for on O2 refresh. Nice resale result. Rubbish phone though.

A deal that was posted at the beginning of December, which went to like -50 or something.

A deal which proves how broken the voting system can be on this site, sometimes.

Merry Christmas. :smiley:

Great price, Great product however not for me as its far too big even the 6 is too big!

It goes from a practical phone to a ridiculously over sized product aimed at competing on size with the Samsung's and other manufacturers. They should bring out a smaller version next year otherwise will be looking elsewhere for a phone

My wife is currently happily using my old ipad 2 for browsing and emailing without issue.

its super deal :smiley: 2 years guarantee more then apple gives shut up android fans haha iOs i waay better then yours ****

I would sell one of my kidneys for one of these.

where did you sell it at that price? I have one and am thinking of upgrading but i think it has been a good phone so far.

Great one I got 6s plus

2 year guarantee is great!
Voted hotX)

yeah £600 for a phone bargain deal of the century , 20p to make and £200 per phone for the marketing

lol apple fans don`t look elsewhere what ever crap they bring out

The 6 plus with 1GB of ram is not a very good phone at all, sold mine and went to 6s plus with 2gb ram and all my issues went away, beware, 6 plus is a Lemon, depending on the apps u run

I was almost crying but then I noticed it was a 6 plus not a 6s plus. Still a good deal but no 3D Touch

its not the 6s deal breaker for me, but obviously a good deal for most

At least you have the opportunity to root an Android phone and do what you want on your device (no such luck with Apple). What happened to all those rooted (jailbroken) Apple phones a few years back... oh they turned into expensive bricks when Apple released an update.

Or the time they said a massive design flaw of dropping calls was the customers fault they were holding their phone wrong... Oh! But we will give you a free case to help you hold our phones better cause we're such a good company. /facepalm

Least you know with a cheap Android you can afford to upgrade it each year and still be quids in vs the Apple phones at £500+.

Regards
Flea

I feel like a lot of people thought this was the 6S lol

Great deal.

I don't get how this is saving £200. Surely, this being last year's model, it has not been priced at £789 (up until this saving) along with this year's 6S Plus 128GB? :S

Wow. Why did I go for the O2 contract on 64gb

Ah, not the 6S ... Phew

oh, are you going for a cheap and lazy apple bashing comment for some internet praise?
you are such a sheep, following the same opinion as many here without thinking for yourself.
BAAAAAA humbug/yawn

Just an alternative for those questioning the Apple business model:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/o2-refresh-new-samsung-galaxy-s6-259-99-bnib-2359958

I don't think you understand how modern tech works. Your device shipped with iOS 4 about 45 months ago. You've had every update immediately upon release, that's 6 different operating systems over what is an AGE in modern tech. Your device may be built to last a while but it may not necessarily be future proofed this far down the line. Consider the alternatives. 17 months to get the 'new' operating system, and fortunate to get 2 updates or perhaps at best 3.
'They' didn't cripple it. YOU did. You chose to install an OS far beyond its effective capabilities. They made it available to you, but with a caveat that you chose to ignore. You had the choice, overstretch your device with a system way beyond its practical abilities, or stay with a stable system that may not be the latest. You opted for the former, and in the process suffered the consequences. It wasn't because of a deliberate system designed to control you, or manipulate you through funny chemicals intentionally exuded by planes, or placed in our water system, or swimming in our vaccinations, or by the lizard style shape shifting beings on the apple board who force you to overpay for crippled devices with short shelf lives. It was because you over-eagerly jumped on the SIXTH ITERATION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM since your device was released. Try buying a nexus 7 from 2012 which is of a preferably budget but has been maxed out at the 1st update made available to it and was by all reports bricked by that first update. Then come back and point out your device has been crippled when you've only had 6 times as many updates.

ripoff

Wow someone must have gave Dennis socks again for Christmas.

This is my phone, bought it for £789 6 months ago and is the best iPhone I have ever owned, since first iPhone days. Only prob is the 1GB of RAM, is a huge issue and why the 6S plus with 2GB is a lot better. Websites and apps will crash a lot more than usual with this phone. Outside of that its perfect

Would have got if it was 6s. Heated anyway

Isn't the iPad 2 about 5 years old now? In any case, don't update the software after owning a tech device for 2-3 years without checking reviews of others user experience.

The flaw in your argument is roll back, to downgrade back to a previous version after Apple stops signing it.

You are correct that you have a choice to upgrade or not, but then part of the appeal of an iPhone is the ios updates.

Or are you arguing that os updates are a privilege?

Nexus 7 bricked at first update? No it wasn't.

Crazy price. Got one cheaper via o2 refresh ages ago

could have said Audi they seem to be worse than BMW drivers :stuck_out_tongue:

And drive like the own the roads because they have paid over the odds for a over powered vehicle that wants to go over 30 in a 20 mile an hour speed zone(I.e London res roads). I think that's what you mean, right!

That's such a nonsense statement. I work with and write software and would regard myself as competent in this high tech field. I want my phone to run smoothly and don't particularly want to play around changing useless settings for the sake of it, but generally from my android days to try and make improvements in the efficiency to a point where it runs more smoothly.
Horses for courses. Android in my view is more a toy as quite if few of their users enjoy customising and 'playing' around with the settings.

Funny u should say that as I was using my I pad 3 and it horrible to use now because Apple have crippled it with updates. Shame really as I did like the iPad but wouldn't buy a new one if 3 years later they will make it not pleasurable experience to use :disappointed:

​Right but when you get £200 next year for ur £600 phone then to me that makes no sense

No I think he meant that they're mainly pillocks.

QED

QED

are have any installment?

How is this a deal isn't the new one iPhone 6s around £600

Completely agree.

My iPad 2 is now the pits, although I do like the simplicity of Apple, Shame I'm loosing faith...

Current issues for me with iPad 2 and latest iOS updates.

Bowser slow and crashes and occasionally looses logon details to regular visited sites
Facebook app slow and doesn't like embedded video
Wifi abruptly drops off (even at home in sane room as router) although it sees it and will connect manually when you go to settings

I've bought my daughter the latest iPad, I'll be monitoring it for these issues

My 3yr old IPad2 also became very sluggish after the IOS9 update. Thought that I'd have to throw it away. Took it to the local Apple Store to complain. They gave me an appointment to see the technician. He identified problems with some of my downloaded apps which IOS9 had issues with which previous software didn't. They cleaned all software off the Ipad and loaded fresh software (back your data up before appointment). I reloaded the apps. Works like new now!! Didn't charge a penny...

Sure it is worth a premium, so is having 3 times more RAM twice as many processor cores, a better higher res display and a much better camera. When you bought an LG G4 from the recent vodafone deal here you didn't pay a premium you paid about £351 less (after paying a tenner for a 64GB sdcard and £2.50 ebay unlock).

I don't care if people want to pay the Cuperinto idiot tax I just get annoyed when mediocre deals on obsolete crap get voted red hot here because it is obsolete apple crap. It makes deal temperature ratings here a joke.

Just got back from Vegas and treated myself after winning at poker to the 128gb 6s plus for £649 , thought i had made a mistake due to the size of it after having a 5c , but after a day got used to it, great phone

On the black Friday I ordered from this site a phone from 249 pounds to 99: dispatched, not delivered, no stock availability for replacement, no answer from 1 week, no money refund.

£200 thats amazing. WAIT....£589 for a old generation phone (even Apple)? :smile:

I could quite happily write off my Moto G 1st generation, its what 2 year old now at least ?
But its still working and even has lollipop on it, I think I'll keep it as being an evironmentally sound consumer, I don't NEED to !

I just can't understand the need personally with either constantly having to change your phone, or keep apple in great profits, sorry

I've had first hand experience of Apple iPhone 3 and 4 and then android products convinced me you don't actually NEED an apple?
Its become the kind of aspiration product must have, I guess that similar to how models like BMW etc do so well making supercars that like bland and mundane and then sell loads of basic spec 1 or 3 series small engined petrols or diesels etc ....
I pass these people all the time in my 220hp TFSI I guess I can afford it because its a Skoda as I'm not a badge/brand snob and saved money from not having to waste on phones etc :wink: Spec trumps brand, every day of the week....

Anyone can want an iPhone one but the 2 should not be confused, the spec from Motorola is more than sufficient for my needs !

Not the 6s. Cold.

you could buy a samsung galaxy s5 and a 128gb sd card for that, probably about hundred less than that actually, so I guess he doesn't need a reality check after all

You'll need the 7 in a the new year.

absolutely not a deal.

Did I say what can you buy with that ? No .
My point stands you ain't getting any iPhone at half price a year on .
Really don't understand you lot who hate on Apple so much it's pathetic , don't like apple click cold and find a android deal . Simples !

With Partnership discount this is a smoking hot deal.

​Well I'm a droid die hard but a deal is a deal, so have seem heat and have a Merry Xmas to boot

​No!!! Do not click cold. I'm a droid die hard, but every deal should be judged simply on whether it is a deal or not, irrespective of any personal likes or dislikes for the item concerned. This is a deal, so it deserves heat.

your only point is confirmation of the post you were originally replying to

I never looked back after making the jump from ios to android...
Still...a good deal for those that havent made the switch yet...
Voted hot...

Nobody needs to, they want to, and it's their money.

Good deal for iPhone users, but not for me. Heat added.

I love Apple kit generally. My macbook pro is sublime. But I recently sold my 6 plus (having owned pretty much every previous iPhone except the 5) and got an LG G4 and don't regret it one bit. The 6 plus *really* suffers from only having 1gb ram. It is a bit galling that to fix it you have to go out and but the latest model with 2gb. Constant reloading of browser tabs, apps never remembering their state. Friends with same phone had not really noticed until I pointed it out and now they can't stop noticing it. My G4 in comparison seems to keep loads in memory without reloading.
You read lots of people day you shouldn't compare with android phones as the OS is so different and Apple stuff is much more efficient. All I can day is that having had a 6 plus for a year and my G4 for 2 months now the G4 is faster in everyday use and pretty much never reloads anything. Love it.

Funny thing is the 6s is the fastest phone in the world according to benchmark tests no androids have beaten it.

i meant effectively bricked, i.e. so slow it was rendered unusable. reports and complaints about this were widespread e.g. here http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/03/11/nexus-7-android-5-1-lollipop-impressions-performance/
The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 made the tablet useless for many owners. Users have called it a paperweight, a dead tablet, a waste of money and more since the update. From freezing, video playback issues, app crashes, poor battery life, charging problems, issues with even installing the update and more

That's true, they are unbeaten in single core CPU tests and that's the most important measure tbh. They also use stupidly fast NAND for storage on the 6S too. However the previous generation simply doesn't have enough RAM which is the problem with this deal.

Okay nothing like mentioning part of a non story, don't forget adding in this element helps give a clearer picture "Android 5.1 Lollipop has saved the original Nexus 7. At least for us."

Android 5.0 also wasn't the first update to that particular Nexus 7. Nothing wrong with being factual in your criticism but to elaborate / embellish facts to suit your own agenda is just foolish or shows a lack of knowledge.

Android isn't perfect, far from it - but to suggest that it is the only platform to ever suffer such problems is naive.

Shock horror we can CHOOSE what to buy... Some people prefer Android, others iOS and some even like Windows... Aren't we all lucky

To the trolls. Keep on trolling, but to the feeble arguments on here just stop, most of it is wrong anyway.

I am not spending 600 bloody quid on a vamped up walkie talkie

A great deal for sheep......

​for a start i dont hate apple there pruducts work great. just saying it should be less

Sad to see how many jealous people there are.

Totally agree it should be less but apple products seem to hold their value for a few years that's why I said you won't get last years release at half price as much as we would all like to get it at that.
I've got android devices aswell but prefer my iOS ones, still don't get all the android vs Apple war and the ps vs Xbox . They are all good in their own ways .
Enough of that anyway back to feeding the trolls :smile:

Nothing wrong with iPhones in general, but make sure you know how big this thing is before ordering. The upper and lower bezel is ridiculously large, due to the scale/size been in proportion to a regular iPhone.

Select-Cut/Copy/Paste is my biggest bugbear with Apple. Sometimes you copy, then paste and it doesn't paste what you definitely copied. Other times is just impossible to select the text, because the page itself moves when you try to drag left or right, or selection suddenly jumps to include the whole page/word.

Basically text selection doesn't work, Tim Cook believes his own hype far too much, and is surround by 'yes' men, that nothing gets done about it. It also shows the failings of the iPad Pro, because once you get to the £500+ figure for a device you just expect this sort of thing to work and it doesn't.

Steve Jobs was at least disconnected enough (almost distanced himself from Apple itself) to be sceptical regarding product launches and not accept poor interface design, that more and more is slipping through, due to Cook.

The new Macbook is also an example of pure design getting the better of practical design. Key travel is awful, the keyboard is generally not up to the job.

I remember buying the iPad 3 on release, and iOS 6 just worked fluidly, didn't crash - you couldn't fault it as a product. Every iOS Update, its been downhill since.

That's what it should be priced everywhere since it's an old model now.

Think it's a dig at the size Ie: walking and talking with a tablet phone

You have android 'devices' but prefer your iOS 'ones'? To what use do you put so many? Are you renting them out or something? Or do you collect phones. I have a dual SIM phone, one SIM for business and one personal, and that is enough to carry.

I use android and know little about Apple but £600 for a phone???

Well that comment says more about yourself than anybody else

Well I meant in my household with 3 kids with iPads hudls phones etc.. I use them all and all are good

I wish people on here just let others buy what they want.

Fastest phone at benchmarks but what will it be like towards the end of your contract when 2GB is slim for a high end phone?
Doesn't matter how efficient the O/S is as it's webpages and apps that consume all the RAM. Once you are out of RAM performance drops terribly.
You can buy Android phones for £100 with 2GB but this has only 1GB. Really!
Thinks like this and the fact that they don't support SD-cards but charge extortionate amounts for larger storage models are very cynical and is one of the reasons that people dislike Apple.
They are a marketing driven company with massive profit margins that will save a little on manufacturing costs even though it cripples the long term viability of a product that is priced at the top of the market.
Very cynical.

I've not noticed any problems with 9.2 on my old phone.

Will never understand how can someone drop £600 on a piece of plastic and call it a bargain.
Just who are you people trying to impress? Your Neighbour who already has dropped the same amount on same phone and thinks he's better than you? It's not year 1995-2000 anymore when having a mobile phone was something only few people could afford, do you really think ANYONE in this country cares or will show you more respect just because you have the latest i-thing? I remember back in that year when I was one of the first person to have a mobile in my city and everyone was actually impressed back than,now no1 gives a damn about it.

very.co.uk. £549.99
NB 1 year warranty only compared with 2 year JL

Quidco-up to 10%cashback new customers
TCB - 7.35%

Cracking deal it is too, the camera is still top notch too. Shame ive got the bog standard 6, but I got it for a great price last year, still feel no need to upgrade. My work HTC is feeling very dated already despite being much younger.

Great deal. Over 2 years old, but given its the big 128GB it's excellent.

iPad 2 is 2 months off being 5 years old

Decent deal,voted hot from my superior S6 Edge plus

Cold not an iPhone.

It's an iPhone Plus.

Get it? It's not an iPhone but an iPhone Plus.

John Lewis offered me a replacement or refund, I agreed with replacement but the answer was that they had not in stock, so to choose between another phone for this price of 99 pounds (which is not fair because I bought it on Black Friday at this price) or refund. And I answered them and more than a week I have no answer or refund.

Here is the full story:
On Black Friday I ordered 1 phone and 10 min later another 1.
For the both orders I received mails that no stock and when available they will be dispatched.

In 2 days the first order was dispatched. I had my email with 2-years guarantee and my email with my tracking number for 5 days delivery. On the fifth day (04/12/15) the parcel was given to the Courier and according JL the parcel is missing, below the info from Hermes:
04/12/2015 11:17 Awaiting Courier Receipt

So they offered me a replacement. I agreed but another mail that no stock availability so to choose between refund or another phone at this price. If they meant 99 pounds is not fair because I bought it at Black Friday from 249 pounds to 99. I sent them an email on 18th December and still no answer.

For the second phone in 14 days on the 11th December as indicated in the mail they cancelled the order. But the authorization for this money doesn't dropped off for the moment. According them the transaction is cancelled and is fault to my bank, my bank said is not cancelled.

So really I don't know.
Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Good deal

Am I the only one that immediately thought of this?

iPad 2 owner here - mine still works fine!!! Just don't make the silly mistake of trying to update to the latest firmware... iOS 6 works perfectly well on this device

Old man still on IOS 7 with his '4'. Feels a little sluggish at times but ok. I wish he stayed on iOS 6 but he likes the scroll menus.

My iPhone 6 is flying on iOS 9.2.
Upload a backup to iCloud then reload from that instead of iTunes. Gets rid of errors.

Definitely have 128gb too... Use search tool on their home page

Did that and no results found, so it appears they don't have it.

Got to say not into phones but love my gadgets but over £500 for a phone just mad

On an iPhone post we have android fanboys jumping in a bit sad really!!!

Think you had better look again, no 128 gb for sure

Scroll to page 3 of search results. Only black colour left

So you admitting that they are purely non environmentally sound consumers, surely under some kind of influence of Apply to keep buying their products despite not even really "needing" to ?

That's a very sad thing to admit to, for this day and age to be honest.

I'm grown up of an age where you don't dispose of things and you even try to mend thinks before you get rid of them (and then recycle them even) when they break.
Which is why I still have my Moto G gen 1. That would be equivalent to your 5C/5S now in release date terms. I plan to keep using it, its still pretty quick and works well for me.

Of course the next argument will be of all the phones still in circulation, but from the claims of knackered older devices it really doesn't sound like this is the case. Well done Apple and luddite users for doing your bit for worldwide environmental impact.

Whilst they may be trying to do a lot with recycling now, I think its more like the case of the Toyota Priuis whereby the costs and damage it does to create is far worse than the. IE false green credentials

Of course, you apple fanboys wanting your latest devices, just don't really care about any worldwide impact your demands have though do you so long as you get what you want ?

Sadly not something you - or Apple can "whitewash" :wink:

http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/apple/why-apple-was-bad-environment-why-changing-green-3450263/

Eh? What an odd rant :neutral_face:

I merely said that whether or not anyone NEEDS an expensive Apple phone is irrelevant. It's their money and if they want one then it's none of anyone else's business.

'You Apple fanboys.' Is that directed at me, a 10 year Android user?

how many people actually pay £500-600 out of contract though ?

apple phones = loan agreement wrapped up in a fake overpriced contract

I think you have even answered your own question there about who its directed to isn't it haven't you ! Surely the context makes sense of this :smiley:

How is it an odd rant.
Simply you clarified that the direction for purchase for most was want, not need.
Not very green is it, continually wanting to replace your electronics all the time on the basis of want rather than need ?

No offence mate but I don't get what part of 'It's their money and if they want one then it's none of anyone else's business' people are finding difficult to understand.

lol it`s not though is it, it`s a loan agreement . 99% percent are on contract , for the record samsung is just as bad all this 32 64 128 gb rubbish no sd slots forced overpayment

£200 extra 96gb or £25 if it had a slot

why they done this because they have their dumb fan base same as apple

Unfortunately one of my daughters likes AppleCrap and every 2 years we are left crippled by a phone that can no longer work with current Apple Store apps and therefore we need to either succumnb to update it, thus crippling the phone beyond its CPU core capabilities, thus needing the lates iPhone purchase to cope with the latest IOS. Shame as in all this time I have kept my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android phone running almost anything I need, and being able to put any memory card I want inside, and share with almost any device I come across. I can even go to mates houses and share my collection of downloaded films, music and photos on their smart/network TV's and play my netflix, Kodi, or PLEX servers when they struggle with their iPhones. Do I think this iPhone 6 is a bargain?..........What do you think?

Just done your search


Just done your search suggestion and it says available in black and white, but if you put the phone into the search panel it still says not found very confusing especially if I really wanted to buy the phone.

This is a great price for someone wanting to buy a 6.

All we want to know is the best price and not opinions of how you don't like it.

I suggest Apple users not respond to Android users comments.

Android users should ignore Apple users comments.

Hi

I wouldn't spend £500+ on a phone but this is a good price for a iPhone 6 Plus. Added heat.

​div!!!!. shame i cant call you worse. where did i say you could buy one half price. god i wish people like you didn't own a keyboard to write ridiculous comments with.

Lol, you really need to get a life.

user experience ? its a phone to make calls send text and load a few apps what else do they do ?

Same applies to you then, you don't have to click on this link and read if you don't like, no?

Goodness, Android fanboys are always on heat when an Apple deal is posted.

I'm typing from a Z3 and I'm not siding with Apple haters because this is a legitimate good deal.

You spend so much time on this Apple thread for someone who spouts so much hate for it.

If you want to talk about dumb deals how about this one

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mercedes-benz-g-class-amg-station-wagon-special-edition-g63-edition-463-5dr-tip-2248261

I wonder which saddo posted that.....

Looks good, I'm due for an upgrade next month with O2 directly but I think this beats any upgrade deal they'll do.

Anyone any advice?

Well I can edit documents, us it for navigation, stream music, listen to audio books, scan and upload documents to cloud storage etc. You really need to join us in the new century.

Well, I use my iPhone for navigation, streaming music, scanning and uploading documents to cloud storage, editing documents, taking and editing images etc. Why not try one and find out what modern technology can do?

After ploughing through this deal for the past couple of deals it amazes and amuses me the comments that come from both sides of the Apple/Android/Microsoft camps and the only fact that I can deduce from all I read is that a lot of people have more money than common sense if they are willing to pay 5, 6, 7 hundred pounds for a phone that can do what their tablet/laptop etc. can do for them which they also own and does it easier and better than their phone can and they probably never use the phone to do it on only to receive the latest updates and play a few games on. Those that say they do anymore on the phone then why have they got a tablet/laptop that will probably have cost more than the phone, thus paying twice to make one redundant over the other.
Me I bought a dual sim Galaxy 2 Duos, because I wanted to carry just one phone for my 2 sim cards and because I needed to connect to my Gear S that will only work with Samsung phones. The gear S gives me alerts that I can glance at immediately and react upon as required, I can also take calls on the Gear S that saves me having to try to get the phone out of/from that last place I put it. If I want to make calls I do it from the phone as I find that the best way rather than from the Gear S. the total price of both was £500 but a price I had to pay but did not want to for those conveniences, how many watches allow you to receive calls. If I had had to pay over £500 just to buy the phone I would have done without as I can't see any situation were a phone is worth that price. this is especially as I have an Android phone, dual sim with 7 inch screen that I use as an off line SatNav that cost just under £35, giving me free SatNav programs that are regularly updated as well as the majority of Play Store apps that any other Android phone can download. I know I can download maps onto my Galaxy but as that only has a 5 inch screen it's not big enough for SatNav in my opinion. So on reflection this is a lousy deal as the price is still to high to be value, and value is what a deal should be. COLD.

Even socialists are victims of capitalist consumerism and marketing.

You cannot justify any price or any product.

Deals do not exist except in your mind.

Drink your river water and eat wild plants or animals to live.

Just don't forget to go online to argue about a deal. Oh wait.

It's quite simple really, this is a good deal because you cannot get the same item anywhere else with a 2 year warrantee any cheaper.

All the other discussions about is Android better than iOS and is this too much month to spend on a phone is totally irrelevant.

Great deal, based on the saving compared with RRP and the excellent JL 2 year warranty. I'm holding out for S7 Edge though.

And you didn't have a point at all so just keep your irrelevant comment to yourself next time . Cheers happy holidays :wink:

Usually really good John Lewis I think you should just ring them on Monday . Pretty sure 1 phone call and all will be sorted .

WTF???? Coming from the largest straight jacket manufacturers on the planet?

Do the staff line up and cheer and give you high five when you buy this, or is this only at Apple Store ?

OK, so my 6 Plus arrived today, 2 days ahead of schedule, and I can confirm that its FULLY unlocked. I tested it on Vodafone and EE. So no locking to the first SIM nonsense.

I think you are missing the point. Apple has uniformity of user experience at expense of modification.Moving from one iPhone to the next is not a jarring experience as it is from moving from one Android phone to the next. Android is a very capable and powerful o/s that/s been mishandled by short sighted carriers and manufacturers with conflicting aims and incentives. When you have carriers disabling features and manufacturers adding apps that cannot be removed we are impacting on the consumer. The success of the iPhone is in part due to the idiocy of carriers and manufacturers modifying Android and being slow with updates.

Ask yourself how much extra would you be willing to pay for your Android phone if it came without any carrier or manufacturer mods and that you would get timely updates for 2 to 3 years.

not an apple fan but great price!

I wish this was 6S+ :disappointed:

Ah - nothing like a good Apple deal to bring the Android fanboy/trolls crawling out of the woodwork.
I guess things will never change, ey?

Don't forget to add about £100 to the price (per year) for a damage and loss insurance policy for the risk of carrying a device the price of an old car around in your pocket ! Oh the rising costs of aspiration.

I think it is a hot deal tho price wise for that model if it is what you want. I'm looking to change to android very soon. Been with Apple a long time now. Gonna make the switch and see but will be keeping my iphone 4s in the draw just in case the trolls were wrong lol

Ring any bells!

40 quid android does what else does it do?

So true. I own an Apple phone and laptop. The phone is 3.5 years old and virtually useless and I'm noticing the laptop slow down/crash a lot lately and it's only 2 years old. Meanwhile my PC is 4 years old and runs as well today as it did when new. Never again.

That has a use a iPhone does not bring anything else to the table that a 40quid android does.

Sad going searching for posts though :laughing:

It's called mandatory repeat custom. Sadly it's filling our landfill with more junk.

Yey Apple. Hot from me.

I have a 2008 MacBook running El Capitan (upgraded the RAM and HD to SSD) and my laptop performs incredibly well but it does lag - as I would expect, it's almost 8 years old!

The iPhone is another matter - they have a planned shelf life with planned obsolescence built in Planned Obsolescence

iPhones will typically become slower with each given upate, after a year lose 20% of the ability to charge fully and a year after lose 50% of that ability. So with updates and the lack of charge capability over time, this drives the consumer to want to replace their handset at a given point.

The same is true for any phone with a non replaceable battery - such as that in the Samsung S6 etc.

With an iPhone I generally refrain from updating iOS until I absolutely have to. I did update my iPod Touch 32GB and noticed lag when switching between music and other apps. It is around 2 years old so I guess it's to be expected, despite it being wrong.

unbelievable, its a deal forum, that's it not an android one, not an apple one so why oh why do we constantly need droids moaning about apple product we don't see the moaners on tins of beans threads. Oddly we see them moaning on Android deals, even fighting there about the deal, best one I saw was someone moaning on a refurb deal, he had to vote it hot but you can buy a new one for a tenner more. Says it all really, if you don't like the product then don't vote, don't add the comment, seems to work for apple users on Android deals, leave the comments for what they were originally for, adding info about the deal itself, where there maybe better deals out there. if we could have that we might have a better site rather than droids moaning. But hey, if we can still have a laugh at the android deals then so be it.

You've never read the C&B baked bean threads then.

iPhone 6 = £589.00
Galaxy S6 = £259.99

Iphone has almost 1000 more heat... How do you people even figure out how to get dressed in the morning :confused:

Thing is with android it is so so easy to get rid of those so called apps "When you have carriers disabling features and manufacturers adding apps that cannot be removed" Total rubbish... Apps or even builds of android are easily removed if you want to.

Apple lock down their products to a level that suits people that are unable to work them to the level that they are capable, simple. I was forced to use an iPad through work and it was a crippling experience. i would recomend the iPhone to anyone who isnt tech savvy and it ends there. Over priced bling that sheep follow - pretty simple to me :-)

A good friend of mine is autistic and struggles to form coherent logical sentences... This is different though, you've actually given me a tension headache trying to process this. Can you explain your point again, but this time really spell it out.

you are kidding right, you have now done 7 posts in 2015, 5 of them trying to win a competition, 2 of them moaning on an apple thread. if you think this is a good contribution to the site then there is something wrong. I cannot take your concerns about Iphones v Samsung phones seriously as you haven't contributed anything worthwhile to this deal site but sadly you think people who buy Iphones have trouble getting dressed in a morning, well at least they have earned their money and used the site wisely which is something sadly you cannot say. Will wish you luck in next years competition.

Both of those struggle with web browsing, the UI, games and have poor cameras, and have dodgy software and slow updates and a horrible returns process.

I hate Apple but not sure that is fair criticism. Of course the device will slow down as you get software updates - a new OS will have more features than the last and therefore be more resource hungry.

Unless you are forced to update IOS?

Interesting article about the slowing down of devices under iOS 9 on older devices. New lawsuit claims Apple slows down older iPhones on iOS 9

My iPod touch has certainly seen a hit having upgraded to iOS 9. There is noticeable lag having installed before apps were added. There was little to no lag with iOS 8.x and apps installed. Surely this implies iOS 9 is badly written or it is intentional?

A new VW gate?

Deal of a lifetime..

cool

As much as I dislike Apple (after Steve Jobs left) for their underpowered, underspecced, overpriced, restricted products, what you mentioned is happening with pretty much all tech and software - it's called planned obsolescence!

OMG £600 for a phone (and thats coming from someone who does spend a bit on tech), dont care how good it is unless its a game changer with a built in projector and doubles up as a proper VR device!!! Insane I tell ya.

How did you know what he's commented on ?

Not for a single item that costs a lot more then its rivals and offers not much more other than being part of the Apple ecosystem, and then for them to introduce an update later on which makes your device crawl, only solution is to get a new device :neutral_face:

So let me guess another droid jeeeez u guys are non stop if you hate apple so much why click on the thread ?

Actually no, I think Apple make brilliant devices but its the crazy premium attracted by the Apple logo I dont get, in fact I would say hands down the best pad is the Ipad for general use and as a piece of reliable hardware, best battery life in the real world and good build quality. I will admit that I find it too heavy and use the droid pads more. We have all seen what can be achieved for £150 from the Chinese e.g. xiaomi note range and others. But something is only worth what people are willing to pay, and the people say it is even if I think its crazy.

I clicked the link when I saw the price :confused:

Have to stop you there my android devices do the same after a few years , so it's not only iOS it's called life . Every bit of tech slows down after a few years or you wouldn't ever buy new . What I do is update for a couple of years max and then leave it on that , people always update to latest then whinge it's gone slow on android aswell as Apple .
Regards clicking link it's been priced like this for a few years so you shouldn't be surprised just google the latest 6s plus 128gb sim free it will amaze you :wink:

Advance search

Sorry have to disagree - Android devices are far better in terms of not forcing you to update and still able to run new apps for far longer, and even when it gets to a stage of slowing down due to tech being a bit old = custom roms breath a new lease of life into the device, what do you do with an Apple device in such cases. Not knocking Apple, like I said amazing hardware and simplicity, even my granny can use an IOS device without fuss.

When do iOS 'force' you to update ? Entirely your choice to update.

gold is oos

Maybe to throw in a counter-opinion so that people on the fence about it can make a more considered decision.

i doubt wanting virtual reality built in was a valid counter opinion do you....

Imma bit late but anyway apple is overpriced junk.

p.s. Don't ever play yourself

thanks for your valued opinion

p.s. goodbye

IT'S AN APPLE, FOLLOW THE SHEEP

Am a big boy now

Are you sure it was a phone?

I'm in the Android camp and also paying a sane price for a phone camp, however I voted hot for the price reduction. Good find OP! :smiley:
