This is a hot deal, if you did any research into the phones out this year you would easily see that this is one of the best (it's actually my first iPhone coming from Android and has been voted the best phone of the year by anandtech).

I don't understand fanboys, do you have shares in Google or something?

I genuinely don't understand why Apple deals on this site bring out a range of folk who range from name callers to those who genuinely appear to have an irrational hatred of an inanimate object and all those who own one.

Just move on and get on with your day?

Blah blah blah.....or maybe you'd say baah baah baah?. I don't buy Apple products but won't go telling others they should not, just like I don't tell people to not buy Heinz beans when Aldi's own brand are much the same.

Is this a good deal, or dare I say a Hot deal? it's really a yes or no answer.

So why are people that buy Apple products sheep? Surely if you buy only Android devices you are an Android sheep?

As for overpriced. Here is a real life example on 2 new phones in late 2014:
iPhone 6 purchase price £539
Sold 1 year later for £400

Sony Z3 purchase price £539
Selling 1 year later for £250

Tell me which is better value.

Wow!! Only £599 for a device that costs Apple £150 to make. Has to be cheap...... or hold on moment.......

552£ gray at pixmania

Thanks, I've now relaxed, was quite on edge there for a few days, I usually get jokes on here unless they're not funny :laughing:

Trouble is that people will say that exact same thing and mean it.

It was a joke, relax.

Perhaps I should have said that I voted HOT despite never owning an Apple product. Anyway I'm letting myself get dragged into the petty arguments, I've been trolled :smile:

For balance?! You don't own a single apple product? Not an old ipod kicking around, original imac gathering dust in the atic? To not own a SINGLE Apple product and in your own words ' have always bought android phones ' when they have, for almost a decade, been a leading manufacturer of mobile phones strikes me as anything but balanced. :smirk:

A little bit of freedom, dare I say anarchy, and tolerance for those wishing to vent is what makes this site worth visiting.

Yea i know. Not allowed to point out these facts against the costs. Makes you think why?

only lousy 20 quid, do you even call that a deal?
sub zero cold for me

Totally agree, of course we need discussions and comments but for people to just outright tell you a product is utter rubbish simply because they think it's bad/poor value/too trendy/uncool/too hipsterish etc gets utterly tiresome, especially when not backed up by anything of substance.

its fair enough, I think however this site would be nowhere with out some kind discourse about relative values , other than monetary

can I use the discount code for the 128Gb version too?

To all the people that think this deal is hot. We are trying to get through to you, that this is an average phone at a very over inflated price. For £600 I would at least expect the battery last a week. How many radio stations have had to cut callers off because you can't even make a simple phone call? All phones have weak points, I'm very disappointed in all technology tbh but to then be charged £600 as well is an insult to the customer. Everybody is free to buy what they want but even the most hardened Apple user must surely admit the iPhone isn't value for money.

My hotel room tonight for £9 is a better deal.

That's the iPhone 6, not 6S.

Isn't it £20 extra with a 2 year warranty from John Lewis? So £20 extra for another year?... Better value? (Or unnecessary?)

here come all the apple haters coming out of the wood work once again - happy new year to you all!!

im not voting either way because

1> its not that much of a deal...but a saving is a saving and
2> the mobiles.co.uk deal i think was better as your got the same phone plus a tariff for £220 extra over 24 months

I agree , along with apples ridiculous profiteering from charging too much for larger memory

Hmm...20 quid saving off the RRP? All tech depreciates: being Apple's latest output does not confer immunity.
Making a few assumptions....Let's say that this phone, being Apple, holds its value well, and after a year of use (and a newer model being released) it is still worth 2/3 of its initial value, a little over £400. Or somewhere about that figure. So it has depreciated £200 over the year, your price for a bleeding edge handset, one years use.
Yet this handset was released at the beginning of September, four months ago. So it could be argued that a third of this £200 depreciation has already taken place. Anything less than £66 off the RRP is not such a hot deal IMO.

(now where did I put that popcorn...)

I'm all for having the latest technology and use Apple products, ipad and macbook air

but I can't understand why anyone would spend £600 on a phone!!!!! of any description!

I can send browser link to whats app , so that info is out date as far as I can tell

All the family members I know with iPhones are paying the same per month than they were for their old Samsungs/HTCs. Don't think the vast majority of contracts people have for the higher-end smartphones are *that* much cheaper than iPhone contracts - if at all.

Don't know why you got suspended but thanks for that entertaining link!

So min 60 quid a month inc sim
id/have spread out over 24 month

For £20 more you can buy it from Apple and get 12 months interest free credit.
So for me, its really about what deal can you get on a sim only, then factor in that sim cost and outright purchase price.

Not sure that its much to do with £30 off the handset, but what the whole deal might be over 1 or 2 years. And that can only decided by what sim plan you need...

You are surmising then , but I'm sure youre partially correct

however contract prices have def come down over the years as apple have gradually realised the game is up and real people are starting to buy them .

Sooo...does the EXTRA20 code work on all phones or only iPhones?

Value for money is subjective. Some people get a lot of joy from iOS - they enjoy the familiarity they have with it and don't want to learn something new, they find the camera simple to use and they enjoy the integration of iMessage and FaceTime for communicating with family and friends. That's the simple truth as to why people buy iPhones. If you're happy to use an Android device - and I am, though I still choose not to, at present - then run with it, enjoy how cheaply you bought it. No problem with that at all.

I think it's wrong to call people stupid for paying a lot more money for iPhones though, since it's their money and their choice what they spend it on - just as people don't sit outside a Bentley showroom and tell people they should get a Hyundai, or walk around Whole Foods putting people off buying their eggs because they're much cheaper at a farm shop.

Let people buy what they want - they're not stupid; they just think their device is worth the money. You don't - great, don't buy it. No one got hurt.

you can get radio on an iPhone ??

basically paying for anything which does 10% more for 50% cost increase is balmy

unless you've got a good all in deal

i might have come across slighty too real life there , my apologies :stuck_out_tongue:


Carry on..

locks to the first network as soon as you put a sim in!

but the example listed is the same outlay ?!

So why are people that buy Apple products sheep? Surely if you buy only Android devices you are an Android sheep?

As for overpriced. Here is a real life example on 2 new phones in late 2014:
iPhone 6 purchase price £539
Sold 1 year later for £400

Sony Z3 purchase price £539
Selling 1 year later for £250

Tell me which is better value.

People use both. I have an iPhone and use both. They don't necessarily replace each other though, since Whatsapp doesn't have deep integration.

I get 20% off through work but this is a decent deal

600 bones for a dog and bone??? naaaa

Look I was making a point that some of us don't need a £600 phone to make a point. Being new on here why don't you post something useful for a change.

600 bones for an iPhone lol.

Do you remember when you could get a refurbished grade A model of the iPhone 6 64GB off ebay for 360 bones. Is the 240 extra bones worth it for a near identical phone? It is if you're a moron.

Thats right mate, Cpw phones lock to first sim. pc world/ currys phones dont. (I work for CPWH)

Clown!

So what is an android user if not a droid isn't that what the going name for them is, just like they call apple users sheep. Nothing childish about calling someone by their tech nickname. If you have never heard of it I am sorry but since I am if an older age and I had heard it been used in many different places and forums it's ok to use it. Have a good day my friend hope I didn't hit to much of a nerve.

Voted hot. Any saving on an overpriced item is good in by book.

Calling people "droids" only emphasises just how childish you are coming across. Why not call people who own other products stinky bum bums too? :laughing:

Old enough not to get embarrassed at what I post, but great reply just as expected from the moaning droids :disappointed:

2016 is the same as 2015, there are still a lot of childish posts with their football like defense of anything from their favourite brand.
Get over it mate, you're embarrassing yourself

Lol you keep a record? Great! You sound like a fun person

Hey, great! We think alike!

£600 for an iPhone 4... With a bigger screen, faster processor & software update? No thanks.

I'm really struggling to understand how a phone can ever be worth £600 & even more baffled that anyone would actually buy one. It's only 0.7 technology at the end of the day.

I like iPhones, I've had three of them, including the first one. But £20 is 3.3% off. That's not a deal so cold I'm afraid.

£20 cheaper than official Apple website...I am afraid have to vote cold

The 6S has is the most powerful phone at the moment and it has a new NAND controller making it even quicker. Great phone but you do have to pay the premium price.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9662/iphone-6s-and-iphone-6s-plus-preliminary-results

IF this is the cheapest way to buy this phone sim free then it is a hot deal simple as.

3.2% off a £619 mobile phone doesn't seem much of a deal to me :-/

Had iphones for years, recently bought Samsung S6 128gb for £395 which is a great phone.

Jeez lots of clowns on here, IPhones are overpriced but they hold their value really well, similar to buying a Mercedes or BMW, look after it, keep the box and receipt and you won't be paying much to upgrade to iPhone 7 in September, the SMART buyer gets their sim free iPhone from John Lewis or a place like stormfront where there are 2 or 3 years warranty included and 1st yr is always with Apple wherever you buy, I recently bought a 6S Plus after using a Note 4 since release, IPhone user experience is just so much better and battery life is insane on the plus models......but ya pays ya money and takes ya choice

I would pay the extra £20 and buy from Apple Store to be honest. CPW are clowns

Way overpriced very cold.

There are plenty 600 quid phones out there

As other have said, this will lock to the first SIM you put in. DO NOT BUY iPhones from CPW!!!

Yawn!

I rarely comment on apple deals as i am anti apple until they wake up and realise that their moment of being cutting edge has past and they need to adjust their pricing structure accordingly. They are good products but £600 for something that is no longer market leading or innovative and costing around £150 to produce (probably less in current climate). I recently purchased the lg g4 from a deal on here, at £225 how can anyone say this £600 deal is hot except for the fact i guess it is currently the cheapest price if you want this particular device. 3 g4s or this...mmmmmm

​you are the biggest moron here by making such comments.
Maybe some people value quality, customer service, availability of accessories and years long support?
The new iPhone chip is the fastest out there and nobody has been able to match it so how is that underpowered?
On top of that add apple pay that actually works out side the USA, features that are still announced for unverified source as coming soon and great resale value...

But to make it a bit easier for some to comprehend why people buy iphones...
if you drive a car for example bmw1, why didnt you buy ford focus, or Dacia Sandero, they are the same type of cars. 1 wheels, roof, drives A to B, you could save so much more money

save yourself money and get from apple store if you want a truly simfree phone ..this one locks to the first sim inserted you end up paying more than £20 to unlock my personal experience ...

​No, you are wrong. I got the 128GB 6 Plus from John Lewis and its completely unlocked.

I genuinely don't understand why Apple deals on this site bring out a range of folk who range from name callers to those who genuinely appear to have an irrational hatred of an inanimate object and all those who own one.

Just move on and get on with your day?

That's no longer true, some don't, like John Lewis or giffgaff birth don't lock to first sim, truly unlocked.

Does that EXTRA20 code work for all phones on Carphone Warehouse?

A new year and still the droids are moaning, move a long and stop moaning.

Well this is a thread about a measely £20 on 620 as it is.

But there's plenty at £600 too. And you can flubit.

This isn't a deal.

This is pretty much a standard price. Not a hot deal tbh.

I went on Amazon and I see this phone for sub £600 with free delivery

How is this anything but icecold

What if I am rich and I can?...am I a bad person?pointless comment. Money have nothing to do with better or worse person.

Any iPhone that is not bought direct from Apple will lock to the first network that is used.

Six hundred pounds for a phone....and people are calling it a deal :smile: ...the gullible suckers who are slaves to marketing never cease to amaze and amuse me

COLD

But why spend a shed load, on something that isnt any better? Your paying for a name.
It comes back to old battle. Do you go Pc or apple? They are both exactly the same, but the key difference the os, and the name.
Is the os any better? No.
Is the name? Not to millions of skool users it aint.

so many people annoyed how others choose to spend their money trotting out the same comments in every thread and they call other ppl sheep priceless

Is it true put in a 3 sim ,as first sim, and it doesnt lock to any particular network , so no need for future unlocking ? Seems to be true according to various net comments .

i got 6s on the deal before xmas with a good allowance 720 all in , which my reckoning is 380 for phone and 380 for the allowance , not so bad really , and no worse than any other new phone

as for whether iPhone is better worse than android , so far its less useful- there is some subtle quality to the working of it however .


I do kind feel a sheep for paying 30 a month for ANY new phone and contract , when could have had totally reasonable deal for 15
or under a tenner being very prudent :neutral_face:

The irony of calling people voting 'hot' sheep.

Deal wise you can't go wrong with this but I'll never buy an iPhone again. Why....I can't see how people can splash out that amount money on a phone. Whether your Android or iOS £599 is just too much!! Does it make you better than the next person.....NO!

Yes, android is more versatile but different people have different needs. If you don't need the versatility then why would you limit yourself to an OS that provides versatility that you will never use.

I previously needed the versatility provided by an android phone but now that both iOS and android are more mature and my usage has changed the iPhone provides all the functionality that I need.

This is a far better deal, yes its a 6plus and not a 6s but for double the memory plus a bigger screen its a no brainer

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/iphone-6-plus-128gb-sim-free-589-john-lewis-2year-guarantee-2359762?page=15#comments

I have no loyalty to any os or manufacture. But i am from old skool generation.
The versatility of android compared to apple, is just obvious.
I am not only person

Cheaper on ebay. Lol

Blah blah blah.....or maybe you'd say baah baah baah?. I don't buy Apple products but won't go telling others they should not, just like I don't tell people to not buy Heinz beans when Aldi's own brand are much the same.

Is this a good deal, or dare I say a Hot deal? it's really a yes or no answer.

I don't understand fanboys, do you have shares in Google or something?

Do you know if £20 off code works on iphone6? Ive tried to go through as far as payment details but nowhere to enter voucher code.

Good price but locks to first sim inserted then getting unlock code can be a bit of a hassle thats why people vote cold

Hot Deal, cold outside!

For those voting cold; please elaborate, if you have found it cheaper elsewhere as I would like to know please. Thanks.
