I backed up before the wipe, and it automatically backs up every day anyway. This is only going till the middle of august. I've noticed some whatsapp and text messages are also missing.

Do you guys think I should try upgrading my 6S to the latest version of iOS 9 that it's asking me to, or just try a restore first?
Shouldn't have anything to do with iOS 9. I think it's just not backed up properly that's why it's missing

I was told in store that you need to be on 9.0.1 before you restore from a back up because the phones come on 9.0 and if you restore back up from that then there is quite a critical bug.
 
Thanks for correcting me welcome back :) What made you switch back may I ask was your experience with android that bad?

Budget reasons really and also I thought I would be fair to the Android by giving it a try, I had numerous problems with Software and also hardware (Cracked and replaced 3 times). Lack of software updates and 4 months ago my phone bricked and lost all contacts info on restoration. At that stage I decided I was going to buy the next (now current) iPhone.
 
Battery test update...

Looking at about 6 hours in total here folks for the regular 6s.

I guess I'm too loyal I've never tried Android before so I can't really knock them I'm just satisfied with the fluidity/ease of use of the iPhone that I don't consider switching. Well that and I've heavily bought into the ecosystem. At least with Apple you have guaranteed updates and good customer service.
 
So EE sent me the wrong phone. I ordered a 64 GB iPhone 6s, and they sent me a 16 GB iPhone 6s.

So now I have to wait "up to 7 days" for the returns package to arrive, wait for it to be delivered back to EE, then wait another "up to 7 days" for the returns to be processed, and then order a replacement phone. That's assuming that they're in stock.

I am not happy. Not happy at all.

SNAP!! EE also sent me the wrong phone!! I ordered a 64G 6s Rose Gold and they sent me a 64G 6s+ Gold. But they've sent me a replacement straight away... Got a text from DPD and It's currently on its way to my local depot ready for delivery tomorrow or should I say today ;) They processed the returns and just said send them the 6s+ when I get the returns package!! Strange they've told you you have to wait!! Not quite sure how they managed to send me one out so quickly considering they were out of stock online so let's see what actually turns up tomorrow/today!!

As soon as I picked up my 6s and start using it I had that automatic feel of a great phone again and I'm happy with it, I don't think I'll be getting another Android anytime soon.

Similar story with me first time I got my first iPhone (4) haven't looked back since. You get what you pay for with Apple a good premium quality product that works with no hassle, worth the asking price imo.

Would that bug be an infinite boot loop by any chance? Had to DFU mine, update to 9.0.1 and currently restoring... Fun!

:(
 
Well looks like I got a bad one, will not restore. Just completely fails and I'm left with artefacts on the screen. Probably dodgy hardware.
 
Just wanted to share my experience with UKMAIL .. Was given timeslot of 1535-1635. The phone arrived 1435 which was great but the driver just handed the parcel and left. No signature or anything. Also when I was tracking it, I was stop 117. He'd only done about 95 when the phone came. I also got a you are next text around 4pm even though I'd got the phone earlier. A bit strange I thought. Anyways I got my phone, it's awesome.

I have put the anker glass screen protector which is thick as thick can be but it still works with 3D Touch. I have the spigen case on - ultra hybrid I think the one with clear back and black bumper. I have also ordered Drand matte black skin which should look cool.

Touch ID is fast, really fast.

See you all next year.

If you still have your 6 try restoring that and moving your pictures manually.
 
Hopefully worth setting my alarm for 6am, just grabbed a reservation for today for a 64gb plus rose gold instore, hope they have it when I get there.
 
I woke up especially now at 6am to reserve my phone and literally 10 seconds later whilst at the last step it said due to high demand not available to reserve at the chosen Apple Store. Now all of the stores are blanked out and no longer available ! SO SOME PEOPLE WERE ALLOWED TO RESERVE AFTERALL!!!
