Totally. I'd hate to think people would pay interest on a credit card to finance the purchase of a phone
Can you still get to this page/where it says that?
I have a suspicion in-store reservations are actually going start on Wednesday September 16th this year...
a very good price. My sim only 2Gb data unlim text and calls is due to end in about 3 months. I really want more data and ideally want to stay with EE as their data is by far the fastest!
I'm literally torn between getting a iPhone 6s plus and a galaxy 6 edge. I've currently got a S5 and a friend has just bought the S6 edge and it's got a stunning design and the screen resolution has to be one of tge best out there at the moment.I have had a Samsung Note 4 for the past year. Longest I ever stuck with android, but its time to go back , and no time like the present
I've played around with the iPhone 6 in store and I just think it's just not practical for me day to day bcos of its size. I honestly believe that if the iPhone 6s had a better screen resolution I wouldn't really be debating this but I can't go for the iphone 6s as I think it would be a downgrade both in terms of screen quality and camera quality compared to the S6 edge.
Got some more pondering left to do I guess!
spigen cases:
argh. Got an email saying glas.tr and a case I ordered is OOS and would I like to cancel the order? Funny really, since theyre showing as available on the Amazon web site!!!

I understand your predicament.
The Note 4 is a brilliant phone but I find I dont use its advanced functions as much as I should (stylus etc) but it has plenty of annoyances too. I wont bore everyone in this thread with those. Will leave that for another day, another thread
Cheers! Am happy to get another 12 month contract but on reflection am completely prepared to move to Three if they don't reduce my monthly. Am paying around £16 per a month right now. Would be happy to reduce by a fiver and put that towards my monthly payment for the 6s on my card.
I presume even the Apple branded case still have to come off the phone to use? If could use with case I'd be more tempted.
I'll reserve judgement and might pick one up later at the Apple Store but not going to add anything to this order for fear of slowing down delivery.
iOS and android both have their pros and cons. Never been an apple or Android basher as everyone's needs and expectations are different. For me the big positive about samsung at the moment is that they have definitely taken a leaf out of apples book and stepped up the build and design quality of their flag ship devices.I understand your predicament.

I think my post may have got lost, so I just wanted to see if anyone knew about this?
Cheers
Use the iPhone Lightning Dock to charge and sync any iPhone with a Lightning connector. Your iPhone sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it’s perfect for a desk or worktop. Even when your iPhone is in an Apple-designed case, it’s easy to dock. And you can unlock iPhone or use Touch ID without having to remove it from the dock. The iPhone Lightning Dock also features an audio port, so you can use headphones or connect your iPhone to powered speakers while it’s charging.

So no case removal needed if it's the official case
I've had a look and it (seemingly) appears the new iPhones support LTE bands in all three countries as you've found yourself.
It has 23 of them now (3 more than the 6/6+) and with the addition of LTE-A I'm guessing the chip has been upgraded to reduce the amount of different regional models needed.
None of the networks have announced their tariffs yet have they?
Only way to be is check with the Canadian service providers and see what bands they use and compare to what the 6s supports
Totally. I have expensive taste but always ensure I am as smart as poss about spending my money so as poss either saving in advance or ensuring no or minimal charges and interest.
It's either buy outright on Credit Card or it's another 24 months contract for me.
Just been having a quick look again on Envirofone and shocked to see that EE/T-Mobile/Orange have such a penalty on trade in over other networks!
Was looking at price for a 16gb 5c (in case hubby wanted to try to upgrade early). We could get £96 unlocked but only £31 as locked to EE! O2 would £80, Vodafone is £90 and Three is £86.
Are EE locked phones harder or more expensive to unlock?
If I hadn't already decided to stick with sim free and outright purchase this would have certainly changed my mind.
I guess if locked to these networks you might be better selling on eBay to people who don't mind it being locked to EE......

Canadian Operators and their respective LTE bands: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas
Supported 6s/6s Plus bands:
Model A1633*
Model A1634*
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40, 41)
TD-SCDMA 1900 (F), 2000 (A)
UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Model A1688*
Model A1687*
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40, 41)
TD-SCDMA 1900 (F), 2000 (A)
CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz)
GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
So it appears they use bands 2/4/7/12/17/38 (dependant on carrier)
Someone I know has ordered the 3rd Gen Motorola G. He's going to whack Three's SIMO £17 plan in it; 200 minutes, Unlimited Texts and Data.
See: http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones (that plan includes 4GB of 'Personal Hotspot' per month).
Bear in mind Three now use RPI to increase the tariff each year.
Anyone contemplating upping the storage size on the model you're looking to purchase. Seeing initial reports show the live photos take up twice as much storage and 4k video will swallow MBs of storage I'm not sure if I should go for a 128gb.
What were the revised UK prices for iCloud now?
If I carry on my trial subscription with Apple music the need to store any music on the phone goes away so might have some more room to play with on a 64gb

Am going 128gb for sure. My 64gb is full. I do need to delete a huge amount of photos which I will aim to do before I send my 5s awy plus I'll see how I get on with Apple Music and iCloud this year and if I feel it was too much I can go for a 64gb next year.
Yup same for me I always go for 128GB I always go for biggest storage cause years and years of iPhone stuffs will get full and I'd rather have more space than not enough!
5GB
Free
20GB
£0.79/month
200GB
£2.99/month
500GB
£6.99/month
1TB
£14.99/month
Am pretty sure these prices are old though (from Apple's website)?
