As much as some apple haters might diss this deal heat added from me though it’s obviously slightly older tech now

Yep, the price is gettting well proportional for some Apple kit, like this. Hot.

Good luck with th chase :smile:

Anyone else found this in there local

Voted hot. If this was my Tesco , I would have bought all of them and give to friends and family

Any idea how much the 5 and 6 are?

Nice post...I couldn't care less about iPhone or any other phone, but this is a deal for a known brand

HOT HOT HOT even though it's a goose chase!

16GB lmao, hot if you don’t use much storage

I'd be tempted if it had 32GB but 16GB is just silly when it has no SD Card support.
Having 1GB of RAM can't help either.

The new OLED screen is half the brightness of the one Samsung uses for itself. So maybe it simply has an unreliable ID turned off. It is quite weird, that brightness thing.

the price is right good find :thumbsup:

will have a look tomorrow morning. If there, great, if not, fate

It is locked to Tesco Mobile. Need to go back tomorrow for a couple of sims. And pay £10 to unlock.

Wild goose chase. None in the tescos in my area

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!

The touch IC is on the mainboard, and as the phone flexes this IC becomes faulty. There was a design change in the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus to move the touch IC from the mainboard to the screen to eliminate this design flaw. Apple know this and have the audacity to charge people £146 to get it repaired when it's their design flaw!

Heading that way now. Any chance of any being left?

Plenty of these on eBay for sub £300. This is still a better deal though....and Clubcard points too!

Don’t wear skinny jeans is the only issue. Deserve to bend your phone wearing them imo.

16gb... thats like 12gb you will have to play with, after ios taking about some memorry

Beware the dreaded touch disease

As expected - not at Tesco Durham- well done it you get one.

Let’s the game being. iPhones be I-founded!!

1gb of ram? for 450 quid . not convinced this is a good buy
a moto g4 for a third the prive has better specs

Q. How do you milk sheep?
A. Release a new iPhone.

You can get these under £250 off eBay (used) and I would expect the price to drop even further with the release of the iPhone 8 plus. But this is a good deal for a new one of course if you're willing to pay that money and don't need newer hardware :sunglasses:

They must have had some really old stock!

saying that John Lewis are selling the standard 6 32gb for £329. Seems expensive for a phone released Sep14

No problems with the battery?

Source ? None of the reviews I've read mention this and I suspect that in normal use the brightness of both screens will be much the same.

You know that's a swan, right?

I remember the days when people used to get banned for posting the goose :grin:

It depends where it was bought in the first place. If you buy direct from Apple, it's unlocked and will stay unlocked. If you buy from somewhere like carphone warehouse, it'll lock to the network of the first sim installed. If you buy from a network, it will be locked to that network.

But it's for £260 .Which is still more than I would pay for a phone anyway . Here explains why iPhones require less ram
technotification.com/201…tml It's the 16gb I would be bothered about and no external storage . Plus connectivity issues unless you're in the Apple ecosystem.

ah thats makes sense, i thought it was 450.

L
Anyone know of any in SE London / Kent?
My local not aware. For daughter birthday

Isn't it better to get a 6s plus for £280 second hand ?

I work repairing these mate, and it's 100% an issue, I don't have to help anyone, but I thought I might as well tell people my experience and it's a well known issue with the iPhone 6 Plus model.

I'd be reluctant to buy anything like this ( i.e. device for such an amount , apple or android) secondhand - you just don't know it's history , with too many pitfalls e.g. Could have been a replaced screen , which look pristine , but I haven't personally known a successful long-term instance ; there's no saying what the battery state is ,and from what I can gather iPhone batteries aren't great in the first place , and can't be replaced etc

I also had this issue, but despite being a year out of guarantee Apple replaced it free of charge no problem.

Better not...... :relaxed:

625 vs over 1000 (if I remember rightly mashable said it was 1250 or something)

Yeah, I read a while back, that the 6 plus has screen iasues and it affects all 6 plus handsets, it's just that the problem is insidious and takes a while to appear. I would stay away, but that's just my opinion.

OP any left or did you buy them all, this is my local store?

Don’t install it then!
You can stay on 10.3.3 just ignore the little ‘1’ notification on your settings app logo!

There were definetly some left yesterday. They may have been ransacked by now though.

Outrageous price for a phone that won't get software updates much longer and with only 16GB storage.

in 1 store, couple of units (which were in the process of being taken even when OP saw them). most likely store specific. 800+ heat. this is the folly of HUKD

apple.com/sup…ch/
Apple have decided why you have caused it. Try telling that to the people who have had up to 6 units replaced.
ifixit.org/blo…th/
Bad solder joints by the sound of it, often known as dry joints in that aged solder can crack. Most likely other cause is expansion and contraction from the warming and cooling in use.

You would hope they make a better effort in the factory now. Funny how none Plus users can be trusted yet the Plus users cannot.

I had this on my iPhone 6 plus, and luckily it went faulty just inside the warranty period so they gave me a replacement phone at the Apple store (with only 3 month warranty!) To avoid the problem I would suggest using a solid case that stops the phone flexing - mine has been fine for over a year now.

Not trying to be a hater but 16gb in 2017 is NOT enough. Especially for this price point.

Only casual users would benefit from using it.

I'd recommend getting a very decent android phone at this price point with much larger storage options

It's not a "design flaw". A design flaw is something that causes the item to go wrong of its own accord. It clearly says the break will come about "after being dropped multiple times on a hard surface".

So if your phone screen cracks when you drop it, it's a design flaw? No. It's called being a klutz. And this exactly the same.

total BS. I used an iPhone 6 plus for two years, now use a 7 Plus and will get iPhone X. Anyway, the 6+ worked like a dream for those two years, and the battery consistently gave 1-2 days of heavy use, even better than the expensive (£919!) 7+ I use currently. I wish people would stop posting scare mongering crap that they don't understand which relates to only a small % of the phones. It's just as bad for samsung, I know some exploded but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Samsung phone.

Your argument is as valid as "don't go on a plane because it might crash".

Plus, you clearly never owned an iPhone 6. Anyone who has owned one would be touting how good they are. This is a good deal, minus the awful 16gb memory. If you don't use many apps and migrate your photos across every week then it's a total steal however. That money for the awesome user experience and interface of iOS is amazing.

Been mentioned lots in other reports, but I do now suspect the maxmum auto brightness of both will be very similar, maybe the lower resolution of the iphone aiding higher peak.
Not that using it outside in the sun helps reliability, the lifespan of OLED being short at higher nits.

Reviews tend to stick to positives.

The old iPhone 6 which suffered bendgate and 16 gig is a no no. Cold

It does not happen to the 6, only the Plus!

16gb. Wtf can you even do with that these days. Can't even buy it for a gift as they will take some photos and vids and it will be full. However. Great price.

Hey just to save anyone the trip went down to mickelover and they have none left

Mine had not been dropped so went wrong of its own accord. It is a flaw which they are fully aware of, which is why they replaced mine free of charge 1 year outside of warranty.

They're too busy trying to hunt the missing 'e' :relaxed:

I fully understand, you don't even know what a U2 IC is do you? Go look that up, that means if you don't use an offical Apple charger your phone can be messed up. It's not BS if I fix them is it? Also I'm being very specific the model is iPhone 6 Plus, just because you haven't witnessed doesn't mean it isn't an issue. A simple Google search.

I haven't said don't buy Apple I said DON'T buy this specific model.

I have experience of fixing these phones, Schmutz has no clue frankly.

Wow, crazy how they're selling the 5s at that price

Yeah it is outrageous, eh what? Samsung provide updates for at least how many years after release?
This came out 4 years ago and will get at least 1 more update if not more. Please show us what Android devices are officially supported that long, without finding custom or generic ROMs?

If that happens you can claim under warranty anyway. £260 for this phone is a bargain.

People who buy iPhones don't care about quality or money.

My bad, it's meant to read £275

Because they know they getting quality and the best customer service there is. Who else lets you walk in shop with a faulty phone and walk out with a new one 15 minutes later? They even replaced a phone for me that was 2.5 years old because I bought all the phones since the iPhone 4 and a few iPads and iPods. No other company would do that after 2.5 years. The price is high but you can sell it for about 50% after 2 years so you are not spending all that much. Samsung be worth about 20% after 2 years so you get that back extra. I’m selling my iPhone 7 for £400 next month , paid £599 so lost £199 in 14 months. New one will be £600 more. On it daily for at least 3 hours so don’t mind paying it and I know I should get £400-500 back for it when I sell it.

For anyone interested. I have had my 6 plus for 3 years and it has been fine. No issues at all (touches wood)

16GB is nowhere near enough. You'll run out of space within a few months, even without downloading games. People are scoffing at the 64GB versions, let alone the 16GB!

If you bought all the phones since the iPhone 4, the iPods and iPads all you need to is keep on buying again for more love. Usually you have to have Apple admit to design flaws, a very tough act we can see here.

I just like quality and no other companies offer as good as apple. If there’s a flaw or it’s faulty I know 100% they will replace it. They won’t send it away for weeks to fix it they will give you a brand new one. And looking at the new tests out iPhone 8 blows all other phones away. Nearly double speed of galaxy s8 and even the note. Read them yourselves

iPhone 8 is the world’s fastest smartphone and Android smartphones are not even close - Techworm

It is said they would replace some devices from bendgate whilst others they would not.
Outside of Apple, it is touchgate that is thought much a part of bendgate.


apple.com/uk/….uk

So there, for bendgates touchgate you now pay £156 for a repair. Anyone paying the original fuller repair cost can claim the difference. That offer came about immediately after a class action started.
For the 6s series it was fixed but I have no idea if they tackled the bend touch IC flaw in the 6 series.

Who cares it’s a decent new phone at a bargain price if you don’t mind having an older phone. It looks identical to the iPhone 8 bar the glass for a 3rd of the price

If we where talking about the 4s 32gb or 6s 64gb then I would agree but the 6 with 16gb is a terrible setup. This phone should not exist.

One of the least intelligible posts I've ever read.

Nice! Which store?
