Arghhh this update has ruined everything my instagram now doesnt link to my other accounts when sharing argh!!!!
 
I don't know why but I'm really fascinated with people's reasons for moving to iOS from android. Maybe it's a stereo type, but so many android users I meet are so anti apple!
But one thing I hate about iPhones is battery life so surprised to read your comment on the nexus 5. Was the battery on the nexus 6 good even if the phone was slow and buggy? Will be interesting to see what the new nexus 6 will be like given that they've gone with huawei this time.
Crikey I just realised im discussing android on an apple forum, I best stop before I start any fires :p
I believe that battery life will 9/10 be better on an iPhone then any Android Phone. This is because Apple design the hardware and software, so they can specifically optimise battery life through hardware & software, eg their custom chips.
Some of the new Android phones have 4gb ram, this may make the phone run faster, but will be more harsh on the battery life.

I switched from the iPhone to Android a couple of years ago when I bought google glass.
Then switched back as I'd already sent back the google glass, and the terrible performance and camera of the nexus 6 was the last straw.

IOS has caught up a lot more now to the features you get with Android, so I don't feel like I'm missing too much.

6 things iPhones tend to have over Android Phones IMO:

1.Better/Easier warranty repair/replacement support

2. iPhones hold their resale value more

3. Quicker/Snappier OS

4. Better quality pictures from the camera

5. Longer battery life

6. Less OS crashes/freezes

But if the average person asks me which OS to go for, I tend to say that they should use both and see which suits them better, essentially there isn't too much difference between android and iOS devices.

The main thing for me with android is warranty replacements are crap. No store to swap them out.

It's fragmented to hell and you can easily be waiting almost to the new OS to get the update for the previous one. It's far too complex. People want updates now not in 10 months when they've updated that particular model on that particular network.

They're also nowhere near as easy to use and require more "maintainence" than an iPhone.

There were a few people saying how brilliant the Anker products are, can anyone recommend this car mount?:

Few reviews saying that it only stays up for two days and then detaches itself, whilist 9.99 is not a tremendous amount of money I'd still like to buy something that'll actually do its job.

The best car holders are Brodit. Used them for years.

Brodit are the best. But they come at a price.

My sister uses this Anker car mount - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Multi-Angle...id=1442598440&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+car+mount

It's great for the money.

Would appear there is no NS app any more and iOS9 switched it to a folder.


Edit: Oh, it's been replaced by News. Which we haven't got in the UK.

What will happen to the Newsstand app?
With the arrival of News, the Newsstand app will be no more - but that doesn't mean the magazines you subscribe to will disappear with it. Apple says that the Newsstand app will no longer be available, but, all existing Newsstand apps will move into a new Newsstand folder that will appear on the Home screen. You'll still be able to subscribe to magazine and newspaper apps via the App Store - hopefully by not relegating magazine and news apps to the Newsstand they will be easier to find (this is something publishers have wanted for a long time).

The main change is that magazine and newspaper apps will no longer display custom Newsstand cover art or per-issue art. Instead, they'll just display their standard app icon.

Ad Blockers

Looks like the maker of Peace has pulled it from the app store. He made this post to explain why but to be honest, it explains nothing. http://www.marco.org/2015/09/18/just-doesnt-feel-good

I think he was feeling guilty about taking so much revenue away from websites or something but the people who use adblockers are the sort who never click the ads like myself.
 
We recently introduced new, more affordable iCloud storage plans and your 200GB plan’s monthly price will be reduced from £2.49 per month to £2.49 per month. Your storage plan will automatically renew at £2.49 on your current renewal date and your credit card on file will be charged each month until you change or cancel your plan.

The iCloud Team

Huh?!

Haha I got the same email!
 
Which is the best ad blocker, Crystal or Blockr, and why? As they are both paid apps I don't want to get the wrong one.
