UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

Going “back to black” after having a white 6 Plus. One year with a white iPhone is enough for me. Never making that mistake again.

Question: Anyone have an idea if I can pay by Pay to speed up the transaction then change to my non-Pay CC?

What did you not like about the white? I'm finally going white after 5 generations!

It's been mentioned previously in this thread you can't pre-order on one card and then swap it over whilst waiting for delivery.

Once you've received the phone and Apple have charged your card there's nothing to stop you from completing a Balance Transfer to your non-Apple Pay CC.

Here we go again... the only time I use this forum is for this thread.. every year!

I sold my 16Gb 6 a few weeks ago to Mazuma Mobile.. super simple and they gave me £330...I usually sell privately but nobody wanted it this year!

I'm going 6S+ this time round.....

....am I the only one who thinks iPhone 6 S Plus is a bit of a mouthful?

Hey that's a brilliant idea. I never thought of that. Kept thinking I can't justify a new phone but I have a 128gb iPhone 6 and an old iPhone 5. Plus I could even throw in my iPad mini 1 and get a new iPad too, all for the price of one new iPhone. I still feel a tinge of guilt though. Sigh... Do I, don't I .... :(:mad:

Can't quite put my finger on it but I've regretted getting a silver 6 Plus since day 2. Space Grey just looks sleeker.

Apologies. Laziness prohibited me from doing a search but thank you for your hasty response nonetheless!

No need to apologise! I guess we're just eager to order, order, order haha!!

Yes, normal price until it's removed. 6 months was a bit generous, it's normally removed from the list around January time :)

If you're on the NHS I believe you can get the O2 open code which is essentially the same thing but you don't have to be a student. Some work places offer this outside the NHS, but I am not completely sure.

I can get discount via my employer on Vodafone (and am also a fully matriculated student) but I think I'll stick with buying outright this year.

For me the white frame around the screen on my 5s. I did like the gold otherwise.

LOL

O2 say these are great value tariffs. I say they are arse raping us.

They have significantly better deals in the US.

I fully expect the other networks to be just as much of a rip off tomorrow.

Do you have to give the phone back after 12 months??
 
Anyone upgraded through o2 on first day (for release day) before? Just trying to gauge how disappointed I might be trying to get through to speak to someone and order for the 25th?
 
What do people recommend insurance-wise for the new iPhones?

I've never bothered with previous iPhones, but then I've never spent £699 on one...

AppleCare+ seems okay, but then it doesn't include theft like third party policies seem to cover. Does anybody have experience with third party insurance policies?

Cheers
 
I'm going to head off to bed for the night... Got an early start tomorrow. :D

I'll be back around 7:30am tomorrow haha

My bank does insurance for a fee, i think most banks offer insurance, car breakdown, travel insurance etc.

I know a guy who had a 5s and it was insured by his bank. He lost it and claimed. £35 fee and got a £499 cheque instead of a replacement. He added £40 and got himself a 6 instead.

So banks do offer insurance too but only up to £600 max claim.

I did with the 5s. I didn't phone, just did it on the website. I got it the day after they were released, not too much of a wait really...
 
I don't know which colour!! Arg - indecisive! Mrs is going with Rose gold... I had a gold 6+ - toss up between space grey or silver.

I think I'm going to go with silver... 6s + 64gb! I think... i think... might have changed my mind by 7.30 tomorrow!

Might be worth asking them. Because your paying almost £800 for the year.

Edit: found it on o2's page about the new tariffs:

After 12 months, we'll let you upgrade to the latest iPhone with no buyout charge when you trade in your iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus. We'll pay off your Device Plan and give you the freedom to get the latest iPhone when you want it.

I just hope that Vodafone have a tariff equivalent to my current airtime plan if they start pre-orders at 08.01am.

Same! I'm coming from a black Nexus 4 and think the silver looks great (hey, it looks like how Apple devices used to look!) - and in the sun it won't get super hot! But I'm worried I won't like the white round the front edge like people seem to be saying.
