UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

Jinjin said:
So I'm now in possession of a 6s as I reserved and picked one up this morning from Bromley. Still undecided about keeping the 6s+. The one handed use is bugging me. Given we've now also got that pseudo back button in the top left of the screen to jump back to the pervious app.. I can't reach it one handed without feeling the phone is going to drop out my hand.

On reserve and collect. I'm definitely doing this next year for the 7. So less stressful and easy to walk into store and grab what I need

Defiantly doing reserve and collect next year. It's so simple and straight forward.

Have to say the battery life on the + is just insane... I fully charged it yesterday at about 5pm and have been using it quite a bit since then, 5 hours of usage according the battery monitoring thing and a good 18 hours standby. Still nearly 70% battery life left.

Yeah the + is a monster. I could never get another phone now that I've gotten used to the battery life on the plus.

The other issue I have with my 6s that would prevent me from keeping the particular handset I got sent was that the sleep/wake button feels very soft and spongy also slightly sunken into the body on the bottom side of the switch. The same button on my 6 is very firm with good feedback and a satisfying clicking action.
 
I fully charged my phone last night, took it off charge, played around for a bit and fell asleep listening to music. When I woke up this morning I had 4 minutes of usage.

Something not right about that
 
Any guys bought the Rose Gold and now regretting it?
I had a look at the rose gold in person at the Apple Store yesterday, and decided that it wasn't for me.
The Space Grey doesn't look as nice, and I don't like the look of the silver colour on the silver version. So Gold it was!

Urgh,

Essentially, preorder in store with EE. iPhone 6S Plus Space Grey and an iPhone 6S Rose Gold. Got told in-store it was the Rose Gold that would be difficult to source on Launch day and the Plus would be fine. I was alright as the Rose Gold was for the other half (she was not impressed). Turned up yesterday, advisor explained they'd only had 6S's in and all colours available, even enough for walk ins. Heartbroken. Went round every phone store I could find, only got told the same thing regarding the Plus. No one will have any till mid-October, only flagship stores in London for Carriers were able to get stock blah blah blah.

Flashforward to this morning, got a phone call from the store, they've had 2 6S Plus in this morning and wondered if I'd be able to make it in today before 2.

I've already got my coat on :D

Well done you!
I'm in the same boat, Three have told me the first 6s Plus is mine but are quoting 9th October! I pre-ordered 2 weeks ago!

Exact same here
 
Has anyone installed 9.1 on there 6S yet? If so any issues or any advantages?

Guess it might be to early to say.

Oh! I wonder if Apple redesigned the switches for the 6s so that they aren't as clicky?? If so then that is a bad move as the switches don't feel as durable compared to my 6. Can anyone else confirm how the sleep/wake button feels on their new handsets?

Mine (plus) feels fine. Nice solid click. The volume buttons are a little less clicky but I think that's a good thing. I found using the volume button to take photos on the 6 Plus a bit too stiff and it was making the phone move as the shot was taken.

I missed the 6 and came from the 5s but my sleep/wake.button feels as solid as ever so no complaints here.

If you're concerned maybe go Apple Store and feel the display models?

Im so happy to have a phone with a white face after having to put up with that miserable space grey for the past year. This thing is so fast and I'm really enjoying 3D Touch so far.

Sounds like a bit of variation between handsets regarding buttons, all the buttons on my 6 feel the same nice and clicky & solid, on the 6s I got all 3 buttons have a different feel to them.
 
Just can't get used to 3D Touch at the moment. Need to change the settings I think. Feels weird pushing on the screen.
 
Basically...

I get accidental damage, 2nd year warranty, theft and accidental loss all included in my O2 tariff. Unlimited accidental damage claims with £55 excess. Not sure how that compares to AC+

I have AC+ on my watch and Air 2

Is this the new refresh 30gb contract? I got it but thought the insurance didn't cover theft? Maybe I misunderstood?
 
Landscape home screen view would be very nice addition on the regular 6s. Would like to see that implemented.
 
Ok last night I had a bad moment when my phone was not here, and today resigned myself that I would not get it until Monday. I went to town this morning testing a Rose Gold model and got a phone call that it had arrived !!!

UPS told me they would be back Monday but came this morning. Apparently the driver told a family member when they came that they are swamped with deliveries of the phones. Sounds like orders are huge for this phone.

I am so excited right now. It feels perfect. Great size and weight.
