​haha begging for more likes, not excatly but hey

and again the world goes crazy for a phone over a year old at £500 still. i just dont get it.

Ist time I have voted hot on an iPhone deal. I must be hungover

​haha begging for more likes, not excatly but hey
I HAVE MY OWN STALKER!!!!
my mum will be proud

again...here comes more anti apple haters out the wood work!!!

Fanbois know this is a top deal. Nothing wrong with a 6 - till September.

The market will decide. Though I'm not seeing any sign that the world has gone any more crazy than it already was.

But as the 64GB version of the iPhone 6 is £539 on Apple website, this is a deal any day of the week.

Hmmm, 6 or 6s? Decisions, decisions...

Thanks

just because you dont agree to it does not mean its a bad deal

if you dont like Apple products don't click on the deals posted on hotukdeals simple

Amazing what you can get for your money these days...

Redmi Note

Consider the tech incorporated into this device and the cost. How can people think the iPhone isn't over priced? If it was £399 it would get some heat.

Voted hot before all the droids spam the post en mass!

6 plus is back in stock at JL £589 - 10 available.

the point is;

it is not the same thing

if you wish to use facetime, and other features only available on iOS then an android phone will not facilitate that

I will wait till its sub £200

the point is;

it is not the same thing

if you wish to use facetime, and other features only available on iOS then an android phone will not facilitate that

iPhone 11 will be out soon. I'll wait for that one.

It also has a greatly improved processor, more ram, 3D Touch, an improved fingerprint sensor, faster storage so quite a few things to consider.

How can this be hot when Pot Noodles are currently 50p in Asda?


:smirk:

and series 7000 aluminium
heavier too

Shame it doesn't cover all bands used in the UK. Presumably this iphone does?

£200 off original RRP hot from me! Since you can't buy this 128gb from Apple anymore!

Keep an eye on eBay. I bagged a brand new iPhone 6 gold 128gb for £360. It was £380, but I got a discount for collection :smiley:

Also, wouldn't it be better to pony up an extra £100 and get the 6S? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/iphone-6s-64gb-sim-free-599-99-carphone-warehouse-2365362 - Not 128gb, but 64gb should more than suffice.

talk about comparing 2 different things

yea thats £138, but shipped from china expect VAT and customs duty added on top (about £60-70ish) and when (if) it goes wrong, the cost and hassle to send it back

good luck with that one!!

i think i will stick to a UK purchase unless its less than a tenner and can afford to loose it!

Ahh but no Bombay Bad Boy flavour in the value range.

How is this value? The price is reduced by£200 until the 21st Jan yet for the same price, excluding the reduction you could buy an iPad Pro. Newer tech, more tech per pound yet £20 cheaper. I know the iPad Pro is not a phone but still. The screen on an iPhone is a fraction of the size, the metals used a fraction of the amount... Just makes me wonder where the value lies.

Hot!!

Do these lock to the first SIM card network?

Plus the fact that making something smaller with the same performance costs money to develop and requires more effort

All about 6s

Apple haters are at it again. A deal is a deal when it's being sold for less than retail at other retailers. Regardless of personal bias.

On another note, I can't decide between Microsoft 950xl or Moto X Style. The app gap is what stops me from getting the 950...

Voted hot in the hope it'll annoy the haters out there :stuck_out_tongue:

Cold not an iPhone.

all the people hating on this deal, which is a HOT deal. Don't see you posting any cheaper deals for the same hardware with 2 year warranty from a reputable retailer....... Thought as much.

It's is completely irrelevant comparing this to some Android phone because well it's not the same.....so is irrelevant. People need to move past personal preferences and actually vote on if the deal found is HOT or not....

[quote=ChampionshipManager]Cold not an iPhone

Better than £600 I suppose but no phone should ever be over £200.

If my faeces was cheaper than your faeces would you go crazy?

I'd want more than 50 quid to make this phone

Their product, their price, don't see any problem here. Create your own product and let us dictate how much you charge, until then, give it a rest please. Thanks

love how the apple deals wind up so many :smiley:

:smile:

Okay, you cheated :confused:

I am comparing value. I am comparing what you get for your money. I am saying, in simple terms that the iPhone seems over priced. Of course I know the iPad is not a phone. But you too must surely see in a round about way what I'm pointing out here?

I am comparing value. Value. A 16 month old phone...

Heat added

I know its over a year old but its tech is still good! the 6s hasn't got that much more on it to pay an extra few hundred quid. on top of that you cant get a 5s with this much memory for that price let alone it having a 2 year guarantee as well. definitely a hot deal heat added!!!!

If you want to go down the route of buying an iPhone, I highly recommend forking out an extra £100 for the 64gb 6s. With double the ram and a much faster processor, it's far more future proof. When you add in the better camera and 3D touch it's well worth the extra £100.

Okay, I can understand what you're saying about how you perceive value relative to the age of the device but actually, I think that is the point with iPhones and one of the reasons many people buy them: the fact that a year later they still command a fairly high price. This means that if you typically change your phone annually, the hit percentage wise won't be as massive as if you'd bought another flagship or "premium" device. To me, that is where the value lies. It depends on one's perspective.

That image should come with a health warning Spider, we don't want to trigger anyone's medical condition :disappointed:

this is very silly are people crazy 500 for a one gig ram phone.you can buy a homtom ht7 for 37 pound on banggood with similar specs.quad core.one gig ram.if you want to be posh buy a nexus 6 discounted and dont waste your dosh on this ios crap.so many sheep.bahh bahh

In simple terms, iPhones are unquestionably overpriced. Apple have an enormous profit margin on their products.

You can get it cheaper on eBay.

100% Agree

From jealousy comes the defence of attack. If you think the deal is hot or cold, vote. If all you can do is make compares between Chinese android phones and iPhones go away. Simple question is, is it a good deal or not?

I don't really get the appeal or the hate. Nobody would deny that Apple is as much a fashion brand as a tech brand, but that's how the world is these days.

I'm largely indifferent to where other people spend their money...at least until they start complaining to me that they have none, or grumble that the rich are getting richer whilst they contribute to the pot by buying all designer items XD

At the end of the day, a lot of people spend half their lives on their phone these days, so it has to be something they're comfortable holding, confident using, and (if applicable) happy being seen with.

But people happily give heat to BMW rentals? People hating/ being jealous of apple products is boringggg

Just read all the comments, don't know why. Kill me already.

Heat added

I love my iPad Air but don't use my phone enough to justify paying out for iPhone.
Got an LG G2 which is ideal for me as I mostly just listen to podcasts.

Have half thought about getting an iPod touch so I can listen to my music etc in the gym and keep my LG G2 just to listen to podcasts and as a phone.

I am not very good with technology, so although LG is great for me I have never figured out how to get my iTunes music on it etc or my Amazon music on my iPad.

Biggest apple hater there is here but 500 for a 128gb phone that will be good for at least 4 years if previous apple upgrade paths are anything to go by is a great deal when u could spend 250 on a 160GB android which may not even get updates past a year....

£589 now

I have the 6s plus and feel the camera is generally worse than my old 5s!

My son uses iPhones, his personal one and his work one. I use Windows phones. I am very happy with what I have, I have to say though that whilst the pricing of iPhones is high, if they are looked after they do command very good prices on resale, so that has to be considered, so therefore this is possibly a good deal.

I would take the 6S back as the camera should be better than a 5S.

the £599 is for the iPhone 6 128GB, the 6 Plus is still £598. Here are the 2 URLs:

What's the battery life like on this phone? Seen a couple of tests and it doesn't look good. Capacity is only 1,810mAh. Anyone with personal experience?

Thanks

Good deal

go isheeps

Apple shops price match too.
Bought an Apple Watch at John Lewis prices the other day from Apple in Eldon Square Newcastle.

Currently got a 5S which is 16gb and too small so this is tempting, but think I'll wait for the next release and see if I can get a 6S+ on the cheap. Good heat for anyone looking to convert/upgrade though!

It's cute that people who can only afford an android handset are so riddled with jealousy they resort to calling people that enjoy apple products "isheep".

Some people are anti apple but hot from me. very good deal

It is Comedy Central on the message boards when Apple deals come around. Makes a good read.. :P

So many stupid comments on here, aside from the boring "I sheep" jibes. A few even commenting about getting a Chinese phone instead - hahaha how idiotic!
And as for the Pot Noodle comments... :confused:
Pot Noodle = Food
iPhone = Phone. Hint: The clue is in the name:wink:

I recommend that all the Andboid fans on here just do the following:
1. Vote on this deal how u want (probably cold)
2. Find a galaxy s6 deal on here
3. Commence drooling/masturbation

OK il start with this is a great price for this phone and for that heat added in the spirit of the site.

I do however agree with many of the posts about the Xiaomi products being much cheaper and I have personally bought one which I am using.

buying from China is no longer a hit or miss deal, there are many reputable resellers so much so HUKD have an affiliate program with GearBest and BangGood.


I love apple products and to some extent love the eco system they have. I do however hate their pricing. yes there are android fan guys and girls but they decide with their feet. apple fanboys stand by any product they release regardless of price.

Samsung was the biggest selling OEM of handsets from the galaxy s2 onwards then HTC had a chunk of sales with the HTC one. but ultimately android users saw that HTC and Samsung were upping the price of devices year on year with improved components that in real world use was OTT or contributed little to the everyday useability.

If apply fans could get together and stand against their ridiculous pricing as a whole, apple would revise the price because an iPhone does not cost £500 to make let alone £700. so the ££ is going to marketing and bigger profit margins than any other company.

I also think information sharing is important as some people would perhaps take a Redmi note 2 however were unaware of it etc. it's a good device, as good as the iPhone 6, well no but it does everything you want of it and the iPhone is not £300 better as a device.

Your also right that you may pay import duty and your figures are about right, personally I didnt but you can also opt to buy from an EU warehouse to circumvent any unexpected charges.

like I said this is a great deal for an iphone but there is no denying apple should look at their pricing in today's market to be more appealing to new buyers of apple products and fairer to their loyal fans

Not voted, but works out at nearly £21 a month over two years with no sim, for a phone over 15 months old. If you added calls and data in on top of the price it would be voted cold!

Android vs Apple - live and let live. Good deal regardless. Voted hot as it's a good price!

Yawn people trying to educate ppl to buy android if they wanted an android or windows phone guess what they would buy one oh well I guess it makes them happy with their sermons

I don't like iPhones but this really hotttt

Sheeps see iphone and they think it's a deal. Meanwhile, the rest of us intellectuals laugh away at their stupidity.

​you can get a free phone with £10 credit buy and that phone does make a phone call, Trust me it really does.

What can it do that my landline can't?

Maybe try looking at things the other way around.

You can argue till the cows come home as to whether this is the best smartphone you can buy for £500.

What is without doubt, is that this is the best 128Gb iPhone 6 you can buy right now.

My only problem with Apple is that most of the top Android hardware makers are getting stupid ideas from them ie crazy prices for the latest models and non expandable memory. Kerching!!! Damn all you pricey-phone-sheep for letting manufacturers know stupid ideas can in fact work! :smile:

Very Hot deal

​Hey. Am proud of you :smirk:

I'd rather pay £89 and get the iPhone plus from jl too

120 odd posts and most of them are my phone is better than yours, every single Apple deal goes this way, the droids must be having a fit with all of the hot apple deals at the moment. Odd that research shows that apple users are better educated, earn more than android users and wait for it, 3 in 10 new iPhones are sold to android users ouch.

might find that in a couple of years, there are no android moans on apple threads but one bad thing is we will miss the laughs on the hot android threads where they are arguing because its a hot deal but you can by a new one for the price on a refurb deal.



http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2922474/Do-iPhone-SMARTER-Android-user-Infographic-reveals-link-education-phone-choice.html

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/iphone/11959265/Android-users-are-ditching-their-phones-for-the-iPhone-at-a-record-rate.html

decent deal

The best phone even 6s is not that cool :wink: who Care is still 500 for one year phone ?? Its iPhone it is not **** samsung who is cheeper 2 times after year haha

It does but for a lot of people that might not be a problem. For example if you just need a large iPod with built in phone, decent all rounder with the knowledge that it will be supported with new iOS versions for a few more years it will likely be just as good for you as a 6s. I have the 6s but the most taxing thing I do on it is my email. The only thing is miss about the 6s over the 6 is the Live Photos .

Yep because every mediocre apple deal gets voted red hot in a few hours which makes this site and temperature ratings look even more stupid than usual.

It only really happens to apple deals because only apple buyers need the religious fervour and zealotry to convince themselves and each other than their iThings really are worth the large price premium they pay for them.

So yep carry on claiming that people don't buy apple products because they are stupid, or can't afford them, or just haven't started yet. That will surely convince you and your fellow apple zealots that paying 500 quid for an obsolete phone which is outperformed by newer androids costing half as much is a good idea.

Are people so gullible to think this is a great deal for such an old phone. #seriously

Why have a 128gb in a phone, thats what sd cards are for.
And why 500 for a phone, vodafone smart ultra 6 is just as good.

Could you try that again in English please !!

Could have put any article on there just daily mail was the first one that popped, up sadly Apple users don't post on android threads but android ones post every single time over and over again. It's also got nothing to do with price, that's the rrp, so be it, we don't see the same moans on tins of beans threads or TVs threads at the other end of the spectrum so surely we shouldn't see moan after moan on Apple ones.




As I said android deals get hot and only android users moan on them, have a look next time one gets posted, they argue amongst themselves. Bet if you checked all of the android threads over the last year and the apple ones there would be more android hot deals, only recently that Apple users have bothered to vote on an apple deal as t normally goes stone cold.

We are all hotdealers we shouldn't have this constant moaning about our phones, there are bigger things in the world to moan about. Anyway keep smiling :smiley:

Does John Lewis cancel every order that comes through?

I got the 6 Plus for gf when the deal was on previously. But I find out the order was cancelled. If I didn't call to ask, I would've never known.

Is this just a marketing scam for them to collect peoples contact information to spam and sell of?

Gosh there's a lot of bollux being spouted on here by idiots. Jebus on a bike, it's either a hot deal or not. It's not rocket science this site.

Nothing to do with the price? Hmm... Ok. My comment is about value for money, meaning price.

I do not see:

16 month old technology with parts being much older, as the processor went into the 5s meaning 28 months old...

28 month old finger print recognition...

Is not the fastest iPhone

Does not have the latest features.

That's not value. the t needs to sell for cheaper.

I hate Apple stuff as they take premium pricing to the limit. But with 128 gb on board this is a great deal. Thanks Op.

You don't really need to stick with facetime though as there are other equally good if not better cross platform apps.

People can spend their money as they like of course but there is now no need to pay big bucks for a smartphone that provides a great experience.

Why people ever need more than 3GB for their phones I'll never know. Are you seriously going to be watching 4k ultra high definition movies on a 4 inch screen?

Dont blame apple - blame the industry:




I see a phone thats just as old, with no revolutionary features and is even more expensive than the iphone!

now out of stock, missed out!, but heat added for helping many people with a great deal

I have this exact phone from Sept 2014. I would be happy to keep it for ever! its kind of my 'perfect phone'

Just two issues-

1/ iOS 9 is not as good as iOS 8 it seems to have slowed down the phone, there is a way around this- http://osxdaily.com/2015/09/18/slow-ios-9-speed-up-tips/ but it kind of defeats the object of iOS 9. It worries me what performance set backs iOS 10 will bring.

2/ battery life is starting to show signs of age, not lasting a day, having to have chargers wherever I am.

cheers

I have an s5 at the point been an android user for 2 years going back to iPhone I think hoping it will be a good decision seems a lot of money considering you can buy the newer model iPhones for a similar price

Wow just wow, make the research come alive on an apple thread.

Not my experience at all!! On my iPhone 6 IOS 9 gives FAR better battery life than IOS 8 - and still excellent performance!

IOS has been going downhill since IOS 6, that was the pinnacle.

did you update to ios9 or install from new?

I have owned both apple and android phones, both good in different ways. The statement that iphone users are better educated is utter tripe.

I switch between this and Nexus or OnePlus. One of the main reason I liked android is that you get push e-mail on Google plus hotmail in the stock app... However Google have just removed that in latest gmail update so arguably ios now has better email client as gets push on hotmail but not gmail.

Reality is that hundreds of millions of people are happy with the value so you then must be wrong. have you ever thought why people buy this for the overall value, resale, how it works across devices wth ease etc, lots buy in on the last generation, it's their entry price point. There is plenty of older technology out there that people will pay a premium for its just the way of the world. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad value, you will no doubt like something more expensive than I do but most wouldn't argue against you. You may think Sony is a premium tv, I may like Samsung, you may like Heinz beans, I may like Branston. End of the day back to the deal, we wouldn't be having this conversation on those sorts of threads :smiley:

Just for the record, I have an iPhone 4, it's probably the forth phone I had in my life one of the older generation didn't have a mobile until I was £30. it was bought second hand around when the 5 came out, maybe the 5s. One of the young girls in the office came over she had just ordered the new one, happy as she was I was just as happy with my old version. we now have multiple iPads and iPhones in the house because of the easy of interaction and not having to buy the same apps across different platforms. For me that's value for money, tried other devices tablets etc and didn't like them compared to an iPad.

I had various versions of IOS 8 from new and then upgraded to IOS 9 - now at 9.2

Do these still get locked to the operator of first sim inserted?

Had a whole load of crap from cpw regarding their "simfree" 5c

Tempting!

No

Please, don't try to reason with the android hate brigade, it's not worth it

iPhone hate brigade even. To be fair anyone who hates inanimate objects needs a kicking to be fair, whatever brand

Oos

HOT Baaaaaaa.

I can barely see the difference in the photographs produced from both, and i have compared them side by side. So personally I wouldn't worry too much about the camera upgrade.

The isheep are out in force bleeting on

Just been through the pain of an O2 refresh deal to secure the same handset refurbished for 419.

Would have happily paid an extra £80 for a brand new handset and not having to deal with O2 customer services to cancel my contract but hey ho guess I've saved a few bob.

Hot deal though!

Got I Phone 6s already..but superhot deal anyway

Oos

I think the 6S (as a 6 64 GB owner) is an aspirational want but not a need. Processing speed and multitasking on the 6 is fast, probably even better on the 6S, but enough for me for the time being.

I used to be Android fanatical - in fact a ROM developer for the old nexus S on XDA - see here but in recent years (this year) I've gone back to iOS as my own driver whilst still independently building some eclipse stuff for some projects. I am neither side of the fence but hate peoples ignorance on sitting either side regardless of reason.

There is free choice and opinion and I love it all, but fanboy type posting is a bore for everyone!

I can barely see the difference in the photographs produced from both, and i have compared them side by side. So personally I wouldn't worry too much about the camera upgrade.

Graham from oldham makes the bluntest point - I will admit that in some senses iOS is always playing catchup with some software features in Android, but oft introduces them as stable hardware features across the board in iOS. The stability of fingerprint recognition in Android being a point where one vendor beat the other, the other copied it and didn't get it right until next time around. There are so many facets to like or dislike whether it be the way to download files to folders, or use various VPN's, but for those suggesting using Chinese handsets over iDevices at fractions of the cost we are not comparing apples to apples (forgive it don't mock it). This is a good deal at this moment in time and likewise a lot of android handest offer good deals, but please lets measure each deal on its merits for the device that it is.

Good deal but personally I would splash the extra cash and get the 6S, it's ridiculously fast.

Agree been dead happy with it so far

By far the most sensible post in this thread (except the original, thanks OP).

Had this still been in stock I would have probably bought one, as I had one before and despite having countless other Android phones such as HTC One M7, Note 3 & 4, LG G4, Sony Z2 & Z3 I still preferred the ios experience despite still having a android phone now, the only reason I didn't keep it was the initial outlay as I'm still on the One plan sim only deal, having said that they just keep their value which is why I would have bought one new.

Does anyone anticipate John Lewis getting more stock of this?! Was waiting for my 5% off gift vouchers through work benefits... Seem to have missed out

My wife has been looking for an iPhone 6 for ages. Got my daughter a 64gb for £450 for Christmas. 128gb is a bonus
No way will they join me with Android so
Ordered and confirmed yesterday
Thanks OP

The size of the plus is a bit excessive for carrying around. May go for the o2 refresh deal. Or ring JL CS
