I'm torn.
I have started to use iCloud photos now so that'd leave me 25gb spare on my 64gb.. But these 4K videos are concerning me

64GB rose gold 6s for me.
Currently on my iPhone 6 64GB got about 30.9 GB left over. So no real need for me to upgrade the storage. But I guess it depends on how you use your phone.

That 28gb might go quick if live photos take up 2 x standard 12mp pics and 1 minute of 4k video is 375mb I can see me using a lot up quickly
Still can't tell if the prices I see for iCloud on the handset now are the old or new prices! But even at £2.99/month (£36 for the year) or pay £90 more for a 128gb iPhone.. I think I'm going to stick with the 64gb and up my iCloud storage when I run short
I am just waiting for the carrier them to release more information so I can make my mind contract wise as I am sim only and am interested in this O2 refresh tariff mentioned. I am coming from a space grey 64gb plus 6 and and will be getting the 64gb 6s plus but cant make mind between the space grey or rose gold.
Photos! I have pretty much stopped storing music on my phone. That used to be the issue. (unlimited data and wifi in lots more places and spotify have sort of changed that for me)
64gb it is. If iCloud is even cheaper, then its a no brainer for me rather thank splash out for a 128gb.
I can reassess when I buy the iPhone 7

Most of my storage comes from whatsapp and photos
When i tried backing up to icloud, because im part of groups ok whatsapp all my photos and videos are stored on there.
Think i need to delete some content from chats as theyget saved to whatsapp memory
Apparently the Live Photos feature takes up twice the space for photos also!!
I think iCloud storage upgrade is a no brainier as the 64gb is going to go very fast if your a heavy photo taker like me

Managed to speak to Marks bank and they won't be blocking my payment tomorrow 
Worryingly they did ask for my mobile number just incase there is an issue. Surprisingly only took 5 minutes.
Spoke to Three to try and get a better SIMO deal and they weren't having any of it. Tried to get me to pay £22 instead of my usual £15. The guy told me to wait and see what happens tomorrow and that they will do what it takes to beat the competition on iPhone contracts. So if anybody is tempted by a deal tomorrow not with three and they want to stay with three. Threaten to leave first as they will probably be able to beat the deal.

The way the system work is that they could still automatically block suspicious transactions. That's all done automatically.
What should happen is the transaction gets referred to a real person who can release the payment. At that point they would see the note on the account that you ore authorised the transaction.
In the past I've had the automatic call much quicker than an agent actually approving the transaction.
Anyone here using the Apple Store app to preorder tomorrow? If so, how do you change the quantity??!
I want to preorder 2 - for me and the wife - but I can't work it out for the life of me!
I've been doing "test" purchases... I can edit the quantity for accessories ok, but not devices. Tried iPhone 6, Apple Watch, iPad.
There's no option... Or I'm just blind!

Hm. I can't see an option either. Perhaps you can't do it in the app.
Remember when you couldn't use gift cards on the app, that was introduced recently.
Changing quantities is probably something else you can't do.
I have had this a few times. I called American Express to tell them that I was going to charge some flights to the card and that they would be booked with Qantas. Made the reservations and the card was decline. Amex said that the retailer would of been asked for extra security issue, but because it was an online reservation system and they didn't have the staff it was just declined.
Told Amex that I was going to Australia and gave them the dates. Tried to use the card in the Apple store in Sydney and surprise, surprise it was declined. I called Amex there and then and was told that as it was the middle of the night in the UK and their system was running some sort of upgrade there was nothing they could do.
Called Natwest to tell them that I was going to the States for three days. I had taken some cash with me, but needed more
tried to use the card in a cash point in New York and it was declined. About an hour later Natwest sent me a text asking me to call them urgently.
Unfortunately there is only so much you can do.

I wonder what time the carriers will put their tariffs up?
I thought they would have been up by now.
Anyone remember what time it was last year?

Thanks Alex you are filling me with hope of a successful and trouble free pre-order
Last year it was the morning of the pre-orders. Think probably after 7am. If I remember correctly Vodafone were the first to release them. But all the websites were crashing as lots of people were trying to get on.
Kind of annoys me that carriers wait till the last minute. Doesn't allow people to fairly compare their options. Makes people make rash decisions. Glad I don't have to worry about that.
It was on the day of pre-order, so they didn't give you much time to decide!
I made the mistake of comparing them all to see what the best value was and it ended up being delayed in delivery.

More than likely everything will be fine!
Did you ask for you PAC? That's what I am going to do but with EE. There isn't actually any huge rush for me to do so as am on sim only anyway but I might as well try to up my data and save a few quid to boot.
Nightmare - did the carriers also go live with pre orders at 8.01am?
