Hope this helps someone who is looking for an iPhone 6s Plus. I found a price drop on John Lewis site. They have the 6s plus 64GB model priced at 16GB rates in Apple Store. Apple RRP for 6s Plus 64GB is £699. Note that JL comes with a 2 year warranty which is an added bonus.

As a long-term iPhone user, I can say that the 6s was the most disappointing update for a phone - 3D Touch, most pointless gimmick ever added to a phone? The worst bit is as everyone flocks to them each and every time, this encourages less and less innovation and prices remain sky-high, all while iOS updates cripple older devices bit by bit until they're paperweights.

Phoned up John Lewis this evening asking if they'd be able to sell one of these for the reduced price of £619 as they did recently but was told no, guy looked up price history and confirmed the price reverted back on 30th March 2016.

I do wonder how only John Lewis and Curry's/PC World seem to be about the only mainstream retailers who have reduced the prices on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s recently? The price reduction on this particular handset was a not too shabby £80, nothing to be sniffed at!

The search continues for a decent deal on a new iPhone...

I Don't understand why you argue the point, things that aren't useful to you are still useful to others.
Despite any media stories, the iOS is STILL more secure than Android. You mention how things have been hacked, that's because they are DIFFICULT to hack, so difficult, the FBI took months to do it.

Anyone with a brain can access the contents of the memory on an Android device. Very strong (but not perfect) security is still better than what android offers, along with their absolute cack fingerprint reader.

and your comment on the 240fps video, actually yes, I do find it very useful as I'm very creative and I have used this feature for 100 applications.

And yes there are personal attacks on iphone users, calling them idiots and iSheep.
At the end of the day it's our choice, how does it affect your life in any way? All you are doing is making iPhone users more defensive, and for what?

I used to have the Galaxy S5, I know exactly how to use it... to it's full potential. But I didn't like it.
To me it felt like an clunky and ugly system where most of the independent apps felt a little awkward and generic (of course the big name apps were fine).

Yeah, there's so much more it can do, I agree. But the fact is, I never used half of that stuff, and never will. Not because I don't know how, but because I just wouldn't need to.

So I'd rather invest my money in a Phone that focusses on the things I DO want to use.
The iPhone deals with that. The interface is flawless, polished and very smooth.

Yes I could jailbreak it if I want, and use more potential, but I don't need to.
If you want to do a million and one things with your Phone and customise it to your hearts content, buy an Android.
If you don't delve too much into the deep customisation and aren't fussed about the features of an open source OS, then buy an iPhone. You'll get more simplicity, better support and better security.

So there are up-sides to both options, and downsides, and a lot of personal preference.
Whatever your preference is... don't let some insecure *** (male genitalia) tell you you're being an idiot... it's your choice.

People need to grow up on here and stop whining about people who choose something different to them.
We get it, you've bought and Android, there's a medal waiting for you when you press ALT+F4.

Jesus.

Apple:
- Premium customer support
- unmatched security
- 240fps video capability (for slo-mo)
- Apple Pay
- regular tailored hardware-specific OS updates
- best fingerprint reader (by a long shot)
- Excellent aesthetic design
- iOS allows the iPhone's "inferior" specs to actually outperform the S7.
- easy to manage cloud services
- walk in Apple support, on-site swapouts if needed.
- Facetime (integrated)
- iMessage (integrated)

There are lots of reasons why I choose an iPhone.
There are different things you can do with an android, none of which I am interested in.

It makes me laugh how Android users feel the need to attack Apple users... Why?

You're not helping anyone make an "informed decision", you are giving them a clouded vision of all the things The iPhone can't do. Well I'm afraid it's not as simple as that, many people appreciate all the good things you fail to mention when slating the iPhone and those who choose to buy them.

Nobody, not anyone, is going to be in the market for an iPhone and then change their mind because they read your post.

I've been a IT systems engineer for 12 years, I think Macs are hideous and I despise them, but that's my opinion and I can see why people like them. But I don't start attacking those who make a retail decision that opposes my preferences.

I am a heavy PC user and I know the benefits of granular configuration, but not everyone wants to worry about this with their phone. Including me.

The benefits outweigh its shortcomings.... For me.

Perfect example, this is what Apple wants, let's look at the FACTS

Another reason not to buy their products alongside the cash hording, coporation tax dodging, the Foxconn suicides. A very important point you raise. Stifling innovation.

People like you are the reason that Apple are given the opportunity to abuse the patent system and obstruct technology advancement by trying to sue their competitors whose technology they ungratefully use, which without they wouldn't even exist!!
Notice that, NONE of Apples competitors rely on anything that Apple owns.
Apples business practices are the cancer for the evolution of technology and the sooner they go out of business, the better.

It is your choice. It's also other people's choice to state their opinion on a public forum, whether they are facts or simply observations, the primary one in this case being that iPhones (and generally most Apple products) are not worth their weight in gold and offer abysmal customisation, memory expansion (non existent), easily breakable screen and more. These are fair observations. That's my opinion, do with it what you will, i don't care.

If someone can justify spending 100k + on a sports car or £500 on a handbag, I'm happy to spend £600 on a phone which I will use everyday for around 2 years before selling it in for at least 50% of its original value to someone is a little more money savvy (or tight) to enjoy :smiley:

Is the comments section designed for trying to coerce people into changing their mind about the things they like? I honestly don't know anymore.

Do people stalk threads about coats and handbags and 'inform' people that their Hermes is no more functional than one from New Look?

Fine, Apple are rip-off merchants and I'm an idiot - I've just spent £439 on an iPhone SE. I barely made much more than that selling my S7 Edge. It's not my fault though: Apple convinced me their stuff was good and I had no choice but to buy it, and I only didn't enjoy the S7 Edge because Apple told me the iPhone was better. If someone had come forward sooner and told me how much RAM the S7 had, or that Android was more flexible, I might have seen the light. :disappointed:

30 Mar 16 1 #304
People have a right to their opinion but surely people looking at this deal are just after an iPhone; they're not wanting to be nagged at, undermined or patronised for their choice of phone. I'm not sure why people feel the need to take to these threads to spout off about how good or bad a company is.

If someone wants the latest iPhone this is a good deal, relative to the RRP. It's no-one's business how people choose to spend their money, nor is it relevant how cheap other phones are.

If you prefer Android then enjoy Android. Convince your family and friends to use Android if you like.

But dont go about telling everyone how wrong they are to choose to buy one - it's your right to have an opinion but it's not your right to tell other people that they are wrong to like iPhones, or how to spend their money.

I moved to Nexus 6p after years of iPhone use. No regret and enjoying the change. Switch hasn't been completely stress free.
- car usb not picking nexus 6p, not playing music from it. Not android fault if honda did not make android compatible usb. My car does not have Bluetooth
- car usb not charging nexus so have to use usb lighter port
- there is no option of turning mobile data off for some apps without root. Background data block is available but i needed more
- no awesome notes app for android

I am thinking of buying aux bluetooth adapter for car problem. Can anyone recommend good one?

Choice. That's the pivotal word. The question is, how free is your choice? Ever watched Derren Brown on TV? Choice is something so masterfully manipulated that he can make you think you've made a choice of your own free will, when in reality you've done no such thing. I find Apple's marketing combined with the desire of the human being to belong to something, a tribe, a group, a sense of fashion, is extraordinarily powerful. Enough to make people part with £700 for a phone.

It's a good deal for what it is. I personally find the 6S Plus too big. It totally dwarfs the S7 Edge even though both have the same screen size! Apple don't know how to make phablets yet, whereas Samsung have perfected the art. But if you're an iPhone fan and on an older model and want an Apple phablet, this is a pretty good deal. Heat added.
barbiegirl to kgman
30 Mar 16 1 #310
It is too big. Because this allegedly cutting edge design has a screen:body ratio of 67.91% which is v.poor. Apple probably didn't have much choice because they made it so thin so to get even that small 2750 mAh battery in it, they had to make the handset really big overall. Most Apple clones (looking at you Xiaomi) manage 73% or greater and batteries of 3A plus.

It's ok to educate someone but no one cares for people dictating how others use their hard earned money.

A company tries to make a big margin profit? Wow, didn't know companies were supposed to do that!

Preaching to people to convert from one religion to another hardly ever works, neither will trying to force them away from Apple work, nor forcing them away from android work mind you.

Unless someone is prepared to give me a free samsung as a second phone(for free of course), I'm not buying one, regardless of how cheap it is or much better. Some of these people that bang on about Apple are secretly in love with the company or are jealous of their success.

My money, my choice.

Why is it that people with nothing else to do, keep bugging others not to buy an iPhone? Basically dictating how people should spend their money.

Price is now £699.

Maybe it's a similar thing to why some people would urge you not to use Google or Amazon, i.e. a taxation thing. Or maybe it's the suicides at Foxconn casued by Apples desire for such a HUGE margin on their products. Or maybe it could be that Apple is sucking cash out of economies and sitting on it.. Or maybe because they feel that one company having dominance is bad for competition and thus innovation.

People are allowed to have opinions, are allowed to express them (at least in the UK) and are allowed to try and educate others into why Apple might not be the smiley, shiny, innovative customer-centric business they try to convince you they are.

The problem is that your opinion isn't information, and nor is your stance on what is and isn't useful. I use both platforms and they are both equally 'powerful' in their own right. As someone with a Mac though, SMS forwarding, handoff and Airdrop are ridiculously powerful tools in terms of productivity. Have you ever used these services? If not, are you really providing people with an 'informed' perspective on the two platforms?

Android has a legacy setup in terms of file systems and suchlike. If that's what you prefer then it is the better choice.

It's all about what you want to do and how you want to do it.

interesting to see so many posts speak highly of Android and can do everything iPhone can, thus would like to have some advice please - use default mail app as one example, I like iPhone where I can simply use the built-in app to manage all email accounts in one place, and it works whilest in Android, I can do so it theory, but it just does not work - for example, iPhone will automatically display emails in screen width, I only need to scroll down to see the long email, photos will also be adjusted to screen size automatically, while on Android phone, quite often I have to scroll down and right because the phone simply can't understand the text and/or photo and not able to display in user friendly mode . Some may say I can install Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo or Inbox, but then I end up having lots of apps. Did I miss anything here? Over the years, I tried Sony Xperia, HTC One, Moto G, most recently Vodafone Ultra 6- always 'tricked into' buying it because they are cheap and spec looks great, but always ended up selling it or giving to others after a couple of weeks as I really can't stand with things not working when should be.

29 Mar 16 2 #292
If you don't get along with the default e-mail app, there are 100s of others on the Play store - just have a look through a few to find one that meets your needs and gets good reviews!

Personally, I use the Outlook app for my hotmail account and the built-in Gmail app for my gmail and pop3 accounts. I don't mind using 2 different apps - I can have both apps open without having to keep flicking between different accounts.
bex85 to pn44
30 Mar 16 #298
When I went back to Android from iOS before that was the main thing I missed, the mail app. It definitely worked the best for me - although now my email only syncs every 15 minutes minimum instead of instantly and no way to change it to how it used to be.
I did however find an app on Android that works really well and would recommend it - Type Mail. I have the default email app hidden so I dont see the icon in the app list and have Type Mail on my home screen. I've tried quite a lot of different email apps and Type Mail was the first I was really happy with :smiley:.
It's just a shame their iOS version is pap compared to the Android version, which I found when going back to iPhone.
One of the main things I like about Type Mail (Android) is, as I do change phones a lot, you put one email address in and it asks you to sync/backup your account via a mobile number. So basically on S5 I had all my emails set up, set up recovery/back up account with my mobile number. When I got an S6, I put one of the 10 email addresses in and it acknowledged I'd used Type Mail before and asked me to verify my account by sending a text, which I did and then all 10 of my email accounts were on :smile:. Ok, not important to everyone but, makes the world of difference to me.
(And if anyones wondering, as Type Mail isnt as good on iPhone, I use Air Mail now, which imo is even better than Type Mail so use it on my iPhone and Mac).

Having been lured to buy one of these and protected by Jonh Lewis's returns policy and a 2 year guarantee does anybody have evidence (personal experience, not regurgitated Internet chatter) that this iPhone will NOT lock to the first network it is connected to. I want this information before I even open the box. People who have first connected to the 3 network need not reply because 3 is unique in that all their phones now unlock or so I have been led to believe. Why a technical point on HKUD? My justification is that this is only a very good deal if the phone is unlocked to any network forever as ones bought from the Apple Store are.

If an iPhone is on the Reseller Flex policy and you insert a Threee SIM it will lock to Three. Your best bet is it insert an O2 SIM as its cheapest to unlock (technically Three is cheapest to unlock but not a Flex locked phone). Three doesn't lock their own phones but the next tether policy will lock it to Three. Fortunately it seems these phones are truly unlocked. And as far as I know only CPW sells Reseller Flex phones (first network lock).

sorry to spam this but....really this world we live in just shows how we get ourselves fooled by marketing, movies, image, hype etc. They sell you dreams, best photos when a g4 for less than that can give you manual, heck scratch the g4, a nikon d3200 is a quarter of this price if you really are into photography, exquisite design- it has a ton of top, bottom and side bezel with this particular phone being larger than all 5.5" screen phones plus everywhere you goo you either see cracked screens or people with ugly ass cases covering that exquisite design.
Super smooth OS - For what? using facebook and twitter? nowadays a £100 phone can do that, yeah it has the edge in performance, but is that worth £400 more to gain a milisecond while checking your news feed?
Storage - 8gb costs 400, 16 gb costs 100 more (example), when a freaking 8gb costs 1-2£ in china.
Feel proud to be in the ecosystem - safe and locked. I know people that don't even buy 1 song, don't use the cloud and don't install more than 10 apps on these, so where is that edge? where are you're 600£ going into?

When you're out drinking you'd easily spend £50 on a good day, but you'd say £50 is a lot for a shirt. That's exactly how people buying into Apple's hype are. It is not the product, it's the fashion object, the sense of achievement, sense of owning the grail, being in with the crowd, showcasing a masterpiece in your hand being able to just use simple apps like calculator and facebook on the go.
Yeah me too, and others are or were attracted by it but you got to stop and think, what options are there? what I will use this for? Can I get a better deal? Think about it, you do this everyday here on this website as well as on the market or at your local shop. Why not do this when it comes to phones? God knows we are past the era when Nokias really were good phones and not much more options were there so you're spoiled for choice. Just get out of their money marketing machine and see past the "same iPhone now better".

The iPhone 6s Plus wasn't long out at the time I purchased it and contracts were very expensive with a fee of approximately 200 quid on top of a contract no less that 50 quid. However I managed to get my contract for 47.50 per month which included no up front cost and that was for the 128GB 6s Plus.

Unfortunately I don't use a mere fraction of the 4GB nor the several thousand minutes and texts included per month. That is a sore spot for me but at under 50 quid a month it's a damn sight better than forking out several hundred pounds for the same spec phone sim free up front. Only a complete and utter idiot would do that.

If that's a 12 month contract you got a good deal. A super deal if you used the plan.
If it's a 24 not much of a difference.

And actually, I came on here to ask if these latest iphones can do what I need a smartphone to do. The complete lack of replies speaks volumes....

It surprises me how a phone that costs $236/£164 to manufacture can even make it onto this site as a hot deal at an extortionate £619!, when there are far more capable phones available at a much lower cost at RRP let alone on a discount!
C0mm0n_Sense
29 Mar 16 3 #281
I was thinking the exact same thing.
That's what i like about the community on this site, we all help each other to make a saving, companies like Apple are creating the illusion that their products are worth the price that they're asking for and people that have limited knowledge of these products are getting duped!
So it makes me wonder where androoski's interests lie when they complain about other people giving their informed advice on here.

I agree that it's nobody's business what other people prefer - although I do feel that people should make an INFORMED choice. Many iPhone users simply don't realise that Android (and Windows to some extent) provides more functionality at a lower price point (often with higher build quality and many other advantages)

Personally, I voted cold because this phone can't do what I want a phone to do (whereas even budget Android phones can).

Have always been an iPhone fan. After 5 years and considerable convincing from others I upgraded to a Samsung s7. I won't be going back to IPhone any time soon. Far superior camera on Samsung, easy to transfer files, micro sd slot, very user friendly operating system now I am used to it. Apple will have to work very hard and it would need to be something pretty awesome to tempt me back now. Heat for the deal if Apple is still your phone of choice...

It's funny I was an iPhone user for years (4s/ 6) also iPad Mini user,but I also own Android TV boxes..so have a good experience of both systems.
replaced my iPhobe 6 with Galaxy Note 5,fantastic phone,best screen in business,really nice design,however I'm thinking about moving back..this time to 6s Plus.iOS is definitely much better experience for a phone,more stable,faster,smoother,much more hassle free and doeseverything it needs to,and much more secure.(no file system access but really on a phone it's not that much of a deal breaker).
love Note 5's quality,design,specs,pen,AMOLED screen,camera but Android...not there yet for sure.never will be probably.

As a long-term iPhone user, I can say that the 6s was the most disappointing update for a phone - 3D Touch, most pointless gimmick ever added to a phone? The worst bit is as everyone flocks to them each and every time, this encourages less and less innovation and prices remain sky-high, all while iOS updates cripple older devices bit by bit until they're paperweights.

Well you clearly know nothing or haven't done your reading, this "s" version is actually massively different to the iPhone 6. The only thing that is the same is the look of the case and the screen. Better cameras, a processor that is massively more powerful, double the RAM, the case was reinforced and is actually twice as strong as the iPhone 6. There are many other things also - http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/iphone-6s-vs-iphone-6

I'm not a apple fanboy and recently made the jump from android to a iPhone 6s and will be going back to android, but even I can appreciate this isn't the usual Apple "blowover" for the "s" version. I can't comment on IOS updates though.

Also, just wanted to add - yes they cost £10 to manufacture... I suppose.

But you are not paying for the manufacture.
You are paying for everything that goes into the design and creation of the device (physical and OS), as well as the excellent customer support from Apple directly, as well as the infrastructure to support manufacture. So that £10 is just the cost of materials. Just highlighting a flaw in your "fact" there.

Anyway, I have used both and I like both. I happen to prefer the iPhone, and why? Well they are my own reasons.

Let's put this one to bed.

821,800,000 iphones sold as of Q3 2015

It appears that they do.

Whilst I am totally with plewis00 in that their upgrades are so slight with some bordering utterly pointless (I am looking at you Live Photos...) the fact is they make a premium priced product and there are a lot of people out there willing to pay for it.

Weirdly though, a lot of those who don't want to spend their money on such an item, will instead spend their time posting on shopping forums like HUKD calling those others names (e.g. isheep) and basically talking down to them as if by not buying a specific luxury good makes them in some way superior.

It's a sad, almost tribal, state of affairs.

Thanks for the posting I have ordered one to be delivered to my local Waitrose tomorrow and two friends have also taken the opportunity. It is a discount on an Apple product from one of the most reputable shops in the country: that is a rare occurrence and not to be missed. John Lewis also give a two year warranty - twice as long as Apple's. You can also be assured it is full UK specification if that matters, as it might for wireless compatibility.
This comments page seems to be more about the merits and retail price of various makes of telephones rather than the quality of the saving in this particular deal. Surely HotUKDeals is about Hot UK Deals not whether Samsung is better than Apple. I would like to know of any improvements to the Apple iPhone 6S Plus price that beat John Lewis without having to wade through endless garbage about androids and Samsung.

Think the only time I've owned a phone for more than a year, was when I had the Nokia 3310 :stuck_out_tongue:. Think I had that 3 years :O. Apart from that, longest I've owned a phone since then is about 11 months, the Note 2, which I sold so I could buy a Note 3. I do swap and change a lot, Gumtree and CEX help a lot with that, not phone shops, because I wont pay full price for a phone if I'm only going to swap it a few months down the line. The 6S Plus is the only phone I can think of that I have bought outright and bought it from Apple directly - although that was because there was no reliable place to buy a 64GB or 128GB gold version so my partner treated me. I had bought the 16GB model from CEX for £540 (£70 less than Apple :stuck_out_tongue:) and managed to sell it about a month later for £500. I decided I liked it so much that despite my past track record, I opted for the 128GB model, even though 64GB would be more than enough storage and I can honestly say, I dont intend to sell it and swap to anything different, any time soon :smiley:. That and I love my Apple watch, far more than I loved my Android smartwatches Ive owned, which I thought were brill!

You are looking at this from a Windows perspective

On OSX you have the facility to drag and drop from iOS built into the platform; on Windows you have to install iTunes.

On Windows you have the facility to drag and drop from Android built into the operating system (it uses MTP); on OSX you have to install an app to drag and drop.

So the drag and drop idea is all relative.

I like the IOS UI, works fine for me :smiley:. No struggle adding a video either. I just send videos over to my phone via WiFi, regardless of whether I've an iPhone or an Android phone.
Battery life, actually the iPhone 6S Plus has the best battery life of any phone I've used recently. The Samsung S6 I had previously was horrendous, the Samsung S5 was ok but, I ended up buying a second battery for it, the first time I've ever bought a second battery for a phone. The Sony Z3, no removable battery, was ok but, the iPhone battery still lasts longer and I use my phone a lot! I wont go any further back than that cos I could just rattle off more phones but, those are the 4 I've had in the last 12 months.
I disagree with the lack of functionality on Macs as well. Till about 8 months ago, I used to think they were overpriced for what they were etc etc etc but, I am now a proud owner of a Macbook Pro :smiley: - and I can tell you, that there are tons of apps on the App store AND there are a few apps that I use that are updated regularly on Mac, where as the Windows version, well one of the apps is like version 2 on Windows vs version 3 on Mac and another, has gone up to Version 2 on Mac now about 3 months ago, where as 15 months ago when V1 was out for Mac, the Windows version was coming soon........it's still coming soon o.O.
The only time I've needed Windows since getting a Mac is to install Odin on for a Samsung phone to flash a stock ROM onto it but, apart from that the Macbook runs much faster than any Windows laptop I've had and I cant say I've had any issues with my iPhone either. The S6 I had prior crashed twice in the two months I had it and I know I had to remove the battery on my S5 a few times. Still have an S5 as a secondary phone now but, if I have to use it and not my iPhone it's depressing to use. Found the same with my Android tablet, so ended up getting an iPad last week as my tablet just wasnt enjoyable to use any more as the apps I personally use are much more polished on iOS

The problems with Apple is that they've produced a cult whereby current users will only keep buying Apple products.. These come at a premium price and are not all that..

I for one have had an Apple phone for a few years and it's crap: Battery life is bad and it hangs all the time. But they somehow get you hooked onto the OS and user interface..so the chances are I'll be sticking to it.. But will wait for prices to drop..
misterleoni to firstofficer
28 Mar 16 1 #206
It's not really a 'cult' - they've just got in first with attractive built-in services like iMessage and FaceTime. While Google has Hangouts its not as deeply integrated. There's also something very 'easy' about iOS devices for many - you buy one, you get all the updates for ages, you know you'll have all the apps your friends and family tell you about and you know if there are any problems you can go to a store you can book an appointment and get it fixed within an hour without sending the device away. You also know you will have the best range of cases (for a more direct form of 'personalisation' than changing your launcher or adding a widget) and there are a stupendous amount of iPhone accessories for car and home to choose from.

As for your battery issues, if your phone is a few years old then the battery has probably deteriorated. If it's a 5S (like mine) then it doesn't last very long anyway if you're constantly using it (though standby time is very good when I'm at work).

You could pick up a Mophie case for less than £20 to keep you going.

Just to recap the 'cult' thing - I think Apple have got where they are by making decent products that appeal to people. They don't always get it right and their devices have flaws like anyone else's. There's nothing malicious at play though - they just have a way of doing things that works for people, and their devices have always been more expensive than competitors' products.

Mate, the IOS UI is pretty bad- very limited unless you jailbreak, to add a video it is a struggle, you need Itunes ... Android you just plug it in and copy, battery life is terrible...It is like Mac's, they look nice, nice quality but very little functionality due to the lack of popularity of the OSX

I fully agree security is everything, and generally there are many great security apps available to prevent any of these things happening. Most of them free as well. And they would prevent your situation from happening as the first thing that happens when a memory card is inserted is it's scanned by my virus software as well as the operating systems built in software. Yes they were designed there but they are still technically 'Chinese' phones! Yes but that is to market on Apples popularity which I think is a pathetic move by any company to copy another's design. As for the RAM, on Android you can flash tons of different custom OSs, I did it on my own phone to bring it to such a bare Android that RAM usage is minimal. This kind of customisation is lacking and unfair that people paying more than half a grand cannot do this on their phones.

Yes, adding a memory card is nice, but even the Samsung S6 didn't allow it!! Not all androids allow for that functionality. Also, it raises security issues e.g is the memory card being properly encrypted etc If you left your phone by the side, can I pop out the tray, drag and drop a malicious app onto it and pop it back into your phone (theoretical but still). I do agree, adding a memory card IS a great feature, but Apple don't do it for two reasons: 1) money - they prefer you to buy the more expensive model 2) Security. Security is everything in the tech industry, but you should know that because you worked in it.

Yes, iPhone's are made in China, but they were designed in California. The designs meet rigorous standards - look at the fake Apple chargers that always blow up. Apple's design is nigh-on perfect. I mean come on, look at all of the androids that copied Apple's design. There's no denying that.

As I said earlier, 3gb ram means nothing. Android needs more ram than iOS just to run. The whole OS is java based, so it's resorce intensive.

I am an Android user, have been for over 6 years. Voted cold and i'll explain why. The first iPhone was incredibly innovative and implemented many features such as multi-touch that other brands implemented and also led the charge for fully touchscreen smartphones. However for the last few years, I sincerely feel the phones being released by Apple aren't worth their weight in gold. Software and hardware limitation, everything propriatary, poor quality of materials (incredibly easy screens to crack, usb cable easily breaking and same with headphones), non expandable storage etc.

The worst part? People buy these overrated, overpriced phones. Mostly without thinking of anything other than the fact it's "Apple iPhone". Most because they've only ever had iPhone and are satisfied with it's apparent "simplicity" and "ease of use". The sheep are the worst. As an ex employee of a mobile retail chain I am fully aware of why the majority of Apple users exist - word of mouth and recommendation. Even if you suggest something half the price with better functionality - NO. Apple please. These people I like to refer to as Zombies rather than sheep infact, as sheep have working brains!

Well if you believe it's worth £619 (for comparison, you could buy a car for this value) be my guest. I know of at least a 100 phones that are less than £200 that can achieve more than any iPhone can. I mean get real, you can't even do a simple drag and drop?! And these phones you are forking out over £600 for costs this greedy company less than £60 to manufacture.

I recently purchased a Chinese branded smartphone with 32gb storage, 3gb ram, fully customisable os/gui with a beautiful 5.5" display, fingerprint unlocking and excellent camera. And a 4000mah battery. I get nearly 2 days use with moderate to heavy use. I also use it for hardcore mobile gaming and no lag whatsoever. How much did I pay? £160 unlocked. If every Apple user on the planet got handed this phone they wouldn't appreciate that it's not only more bang for their buck but a genuinely better innovative handset with endless customisation. Anyway the point is...Apple need to change their ways. For the sake of morality if nothing else. And iPhone users need to wake up. Good day!

This is the most idiotic comment i've ever had the misfortune of reading on this website.

1) I can tell you've been an android user for 6 years
2) Did you really work in a store selling phones? Were you sacked?
3) You bought a Chinese branded smartphone and use it for "hardcore mobile gaming" ........yeah. Right.

I'm not going to waste my time going into detail, but you say iPhone screens crack easily. Absolute drivvel. I've personally dropped mine from 6 ft (in the gym) and yes, it had a rubber case on, but I didn't even get a scratch.

Apple's security and privacy > android. Android has been an inherent security flaw since it was released. Stagefright anyone?

And how about the Google playstore? It's absolutely riddled with malware. Yes, Google have stepped up efforts to stop malicious apps, but they are still there in abundance. With Apple, the apps are checked and verified before they're allowed onto the store.

You say you "know of at least 100 phones that are less than £200 that can achieve more than any iPhone can" - that, my friend, is garbage and you know it.

Your whole post stinks of irony, because you say "sheep" are the worst, yet you're the biggest android fanboy in this thread and every last one of your comments are null and void.

​I posted right at the start of this deal maybe 5th or 6th comment I'm a Android guy, own a Nexus 6p and Nexus 9 and I love them but I voted heat here as this is £80 cheaper than Apples RRP! and to be honest that's all you should be voting on! forget Android v IOS or if Apples innovative or overpriced that's not what the site is about.

Just for clarity, you can actually drag and drop on iOS - you open iTunes and drag the respective file into whatever video player or other app you're using. You need to install iTunes to do this, but conversely you need to install Android File Manager on a Mac to drag and drop from an Android (which uses MTP)....so horse for courses and depends on what computer hardware you're running.
bulletfoss to Bhav007

Buddy, get a life.

Nobody cares.

The value of an item is appreciated by the owner and the owner alone.

If I want to buy something that is £200 more than any alternative, then I'll buy it! It's my money, and if I see the value that in that item that others can't, that's their problem. Not mine.

You're post is ridiculous and extremely closed minded.
I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but I like the iPhone.

I would never try and sway anyone towards a particular device, people are smart enough to make their own choices (it's known as freedom).

I see the pro's and con's of both devices, but I don't preach about it.... Because nobody cares.

Just because you can't see the pro's or con's, doesn't make you right. It's simply you're opinion, and it's an opinion you aggressively target at Apple users.
Again, they don't care.

Lastly, your reason for a cold vote is one of stupidity.
This deal is cheaper that anywhere else selling the 6S Plus, hence its a good deal. That I'm afraid, is fact.

Brilliant marketing getting consumers to defend the technology, the apple v android debate will go on for a long time. Phones have become the must have items, why ? You walk any Street go on any bus etc. People mainly use their phones to message other people or to play the likes of candy crush (which £40 phones are capable of)
At the end of the day it's a phone which 95% of users will never use to its full capability, but they can say I've got a iPhone 6s or s7 edge or the like.

It's got some hardware features that are nice - better if you ask me, and the camera is fabulous. I bought one on launch week but I couldn't get on with Touchwiz and all the bells and whistles (and no, a launcher isn't the answer). In the end, no matter how nice the hardware is you can't escape the fact that you spend most of your time immersed in the user interface and apps. For me iOS is better but that's just my personal take. The guy I sold the S7 Edge to loves it.

Lol. Clearly hit you where it hurt. Yes I worked at a mobile retail store and heard from 100s of people why they go for iPhone everytime they upgrade and why they have had iPhones and the majority simply do because it's all they've known or they fancied a change from Samsung/HTC etc. Yes, you had a rubber case that absorbed the impact...i'm talking about a general sense here. Yes I can agree that Android does have some security flaws, and as for the malware, it's only if you are stupid enough to download something with a 1* rating that this will effect you. Nope I stick by that comment. iPhones are based on limitations and that is undeniable. Can you expand memory by 128gb in a second by inserting a memory card? No. This is a feature available in many smartphones under £200. That's just an example. You do know where these beloved iPhones of yours are manufactured right? The fact you think it impossible to use a Chinese branded phone for hardcore gaming shows how narrow minded you are. With 3gb of RAM what would you expect? Clueless you are. If I am an Android fanboy, you must have shares in Apple.

27 Mar 16 3 #107
Has there been an iPhone deal yet that didn't turn into a load of people arguing about how overpriced they are and how much better Android is? Amazing how passionate people get about other people's preference isn't it.

The simple fact is that the Android glove simply doesn't fit some people, and vice versa. There's no point trying to convince people they're spending too much or their phone doesn't have the right specs, because at the end of the day some people know what they want, and it isn't necessarily the same thing as me.

Any phone deal will degenerate into iOS vs. Android, any PC deal will go to Windows vs. Mac - Intel vs. AMD, Apple vs. Samsung this rule is as old as time and will probably continue until one side just gives up or is pushed out of the market. It's people's inate desires to have the best and justify it to the bitter end, whoever is right or wrong.

This behaviour has deep roots in our psychology, it is quite similar to religion and as we all know religion cannot be easily eliminated or replaced from one's perspective just by words and similarly there is an urge of argumentation against another group of people believing in something else. Another thing is that people treat phones as fashionable objects and fashion also lays deep in our minds (see chimps throwing rocks into trunks or putting straws in their ears). And the punch line is that readers might not be aware of choices and being aware is what drives understanding of market and ultimately allows readers to make informed choice themselves.

I never called anyone an idiot, you just pulled that out of thin air; a lot of people have agreed with me, these so-called new features are very gimmicky. Instead of true innovation, we got a smaller battery, a marginally thicker and heavier phone and Apple pulling the wool over everyone's eyes with its outlandish marketing claiming this doesn't matter because the power consumption dropped.

Obviously the 6s is an improvement in real terms but many people don't care for it and, from being in the industry, I know many die-hard Apple fans who feel the same way and stuck with the last generation iPhone 6. I had the 6s, returned it to an Apple Store and told them the same thing - I even had a handful of staff agreeing with me, stating they're skipping this generation.

Well I thought your earlier post was disrespectful and seemed to be saying that anyone that believes what Apple says about the 6S being an improvement is an idiot so I guess we are even! Not everyone will find changes an actual improvement as people have different needs and uses so I could think it is a big upgrade and you could think it is a minor upgrade and we can both be correct. As I use and value the things that have changed and you don't, but that doesn't mean one of us is correct and one of us is wrong. I was just trying to give the opposite point of view and that I actually found it to be a good upgrade.

Not that I want to bite - but yes, I do understand the importance, I've had an iPad Air 2 128GB since launch day which has 2GB RAM over a year before your 6s and I have used the 6 and 6s (and Plus variants extensively) and decided the 6 offers the best balance for me - if not only because I can avoid the resource-hogging, battery draining iOS 9 and stay on 8.4 with my 6. The Air 2 will retain more data in operating RAM but not so much that I have a real comparison point or get annoyed on my 6.

Everything you've listed is a minor evolution - not a game changer. Live Photos are such a gimmick - 'hey, would you like a feature that burns through your storage even faster!', it's a photo, if I want a video I use the video function. Same with 4K video recording to be fair, I actually kind of appreciated Apple not jumping on this so soon as good 720p or 1080p is actually perfectly fine for memories without huge storage requirements. And it would be excusable if Apple didn't make the base model 16GB across the board. TouchID is so fast now that you can barely activate the display to view notifications or time without unlocking - this is a step-back for some. I never thought it was slow on the 6.

You like your 6s Plus and that's fine but honestly, telling me (or others) bluntly that I/we don't get it is disrespectful and judging by the number of others who agree with me I'm not exactly alone. I have been there with the 6s and stuck with tried and tested (iOS 8 and late revision hardware) vs. new and gimmicky.

But the average person would not be looking to upgrade their phone after just one year, why would they want to?

Internally it was completely revamped, just like Apple said it was. I'm not really sure what it was that you expected for just one year on?

In fact, it was classed as such a good upgrade over the previous generation that it managed to get an Anandtech Gold Award, not an easy thing to do.

If you have an iPhone 6 it is probably not worth the upgrade, the A8 CPU still holds it's own nicely.

You don't seem to understand the importance of double the RAM at all!! I went from a 6+ to 6S+ and the extra RAM makes a noticeable difference. With only 1Gb of RAM the phone had to aggressively close apps and tabs so if you switched between stuff it would have to reload them and lose anything you were in the middle of. With 2Gb of RAM I can switch back and forth between multiple apps without any of them having to be reloaded.

Also it has improved Touch ID which is noticeably faster in unlocking the phone.

It also has Live photos, which some people can write off as gimmicky, but in some situations they can be great like when I was taking photos of cheerleaders outside the stadium for the NFL Wembley games.

It also has 4K video recording which is great to have as I have a 4K TV.

You haven't used both a 6+ and a 6S+ for a long time like I have, so I can assure you that they are some great improvements. There are better improvements between the 6+ to 6S+ than there was when I went from 5S to the 6+, the 6+ was a bigger screen and a new design but not much else really.

I was saying that the way you worded your original comment " the only thing they added was 3D Touch " was inaccurate, there was a lot of hardware changes. Would I say it's a worth while jump from the iPhone 6 ? No of course not, but all those changes made the iPhone more competitive against ever more powerful rivals and mean it should be abit more future proof in regards to iOS updates. And I personally can't think of a "s" version that was so drastically better than the original version that made people want to upgrade so soon. I actually like to hate on Apple when I can, but the iPhone 6s is a proper solid platform.

It's my job to do my research on all phones including this one, whereas you sound as if you've just quoted all that from Apple's own announcement back in September:
- Better cameras: shocker that one, every single generation they improve and frankly they have been more than good enough for a while - I cannot think of anyone who said the iPhone 6 camera wasn't good enough before, even the 5 and 5s have decent imaging
- Better processor: again every generation we see a speed bump and are you telling us that the A8 is outdated now? Was it even slow? Or do you think maybe app and game developers write for the mainstream to generate the best revenue? The A6 and A7 are still perfectly fine.
- Double the RAM: this should've happened a long time ago but dropping so much money on a phone for this is pointless - and again, as above, apps and games are written for the mainstream, which is 1GB RAM
- Stronger casing: this is only because of the massive backlash of the 'bendability' of the non-S devices, Apple making a big deal out of this is pretty much saying they didn't make it strong enough the first time round, it's actually incredibly rude to people who adopted the original 6 devices

The majority of people who took the 6s seemed to be people who were on a 24-month upgrade cycle from the 5s, most people I know who have the 6 now have stuck with it waiting for the 7. Did you really believe Apple when they said 'the only thing that's changed is everything'? By all means get the latest and greatest, but let's not beat about the bush, the 6s is a massive disappointment for those who wanted a genuine reason to upgrade from the 6 - if you are in the market for a new phone, that must be an iPhone and are on a 5s or below, then a 6s is a lot more compelling a choice.

Boring, off topic, irrelevant android rubbish. Fact is, it's a good deal vs RRP - that's all that matters in relation to it being a good deal. Otherwise, everything posted on here could be combatted by a cheaper, different product. For example, I bet I can find a cheaper car than a BMW, that doesn't mean the BMW isn't a good deal in it's own right. Some people aren't geeks that care about phone specs, they simply want a functional intuitive product - that just works. But anyway f all that what about that new android phone with 64 cores, I can do so much stuff on that and it's only £5! Bloody Apple mugs, grrrr why don't they join us all powerful, enlightened. Just don't talk about all the landfills full of cheap, plastic, android rubbish

FredsVan to irabbs7
27 Mar 16 #92
I think it depends on how you use the word "overpriced". It is just economics. If something is selling in large amounts for a certain price, then clearly it is not overpriced. It might be expensive, but it is not overpriced. The Amazon Fire phone was overpriced when it was released that is why they had to drop the price.

Trying to work out which Lumia it could be, the only one I can think of for £200 is the 650? But the 650 has a smaller battery, smaller screen, lower pixel density, less powerful processor, less ram, less memory, smaller main camera sensor, so it can't be that one.

Fantastic offer. Guys at the end of the day this is a phone that rarely falls below RRP, and this phone is a large discount from Apple. You could get the 64GB normal sized one for this, or the 16GB 6S Plus. This is a great deal.
wakeywarrior
27 Mar 16 2 #80
619 for a phone is good? Honor 7 for 175 at Xmas, now that was a true hot deal. BTW I have a recent iMac (would still buy macs rather than pc) iPad 3 (got Galaxy tab S last year on upgrade cycle), iPhone 4s and 5s (replaced with LG G4 and Honor 7) and just bought son fantastic MiPad 2 for £150 for his birthday (better than iPad mini and half price) . I've got shares in Apple and was a big fan, but they've lost me on phones and tablets due to gross over pricing and lack of innovation. Did you see the latest keynote? New iPad £100 more, still overpricing for cheap memory and a major announcement was watch bands for the massively underwhelming iWatch?

Thing is that iPhones hold their value pretty well so once you have made the initial purchase the upgrade price in future years is much less after you have traded in your current model. A £300 android phone will be worth next to nothing in 12 months time!

Won't need to as I'll have a phone as well?

Look, if you are in the market for this phone, then it's a good deal (heat added as that is the basis of voting).

Is it a good deal to spend £619 on a mobile phone? I just can't see it. There are soooo many good and great android phones around for anything from £120 to £300. I had many iPhones. Yes, iOS is slick, so is Apple's marketing. But parting with the price of a decent PC / laptop for a mobile phone just seems crazy. It's not like it does ANYTHING that other phones don't do. And 80% of people won't ever tap more than 20% of its power playing Candy Crush, watching some media, tweeting etc.

It's just my opinion, but to me it's a sucker who falls for this and parts with £600+ for a mobile.

Sorry I though he had a 'new'ish iPhone but he was talking about older models with new ios
Yes I thought that was the industries business model.
To 'cripple' older devices with new software so device upgrades become not a choice but effectively a necessity.
With you mentioning the 8GB storage I heard that its best to keep 10% free so 800MB free. This may be incorrect info though.
I have a 128GB iPhone 6 and just noticed I have 8GB spare: 6% FREE 94% used, so I need to do some 'house keeping' or otherwise based on the 10% free rule I may start to notice a drop performance.

cheers

He might be referring to when the older 8gb iPhones got that IOS update that basically took up all of the phones memory leaving it useless. Does have a valid point to be fair, the thing is although everyone ones the latest operating software sometimes the hardware just isn't capable of running it. Android manufactures normally drop support for devices after 2-3 years probably due to these restraints and cost of course.

It is expensive but in 2 years this will probably be worth £320 at a guess. You can buy a LG G4 for around £250, probably worth £100 in 2 years. So depends if you are happy to pay an extra £150 for 2 years iphone use. Looking at it that way its not such a big difference.
