The new sim you get sent are just blank ones. Can use it just have to do a swap my sim though. Old one is fine to carry on using

With light to moderate use I'm heading for 2 days between charging with my 6s, Galaxy S4 would of been needed to be charged twice by now. Usage 5hrs, Standby 34:37 (Although its actually Usage + Standby) and I'm at 25% remaining so will charge the iPhone in the morning back to 100%. Didn't Sony mock Apple over battery with saying you can get 2 days on their phones? Well I've managed 2 days here with a 6s.
Refreshed a few times throughout the day. I was hardly watching the page. Patience pays off.
There's something weird still going on with mine. I unplugged at 6am, and did light usage for 15mins. Battery went down to 93%, not too bad, then it went on standby for an hour and 15 mins. When I woke it up to look at the battery stats, it's saying usage almost as high as standby, but it was sleeping. Any advice? I have a genius appt on Saturday, but I can't get a reservation for my model in either of the 2 Manchester Apple stores.
It's running a bit warm too.

I'm running iOS 9.0.1. I'm only 8 hours off this being two days between charges, pretty good! And considering this is it's first charge things could improve further after a few more cycles, we'll see.
I got a 6S on Friday and thought I'd try out the 6S+ to secure my decision. After two hours, decision made - I am returning the 6S+. It's too big. There was loads of UI lag, and 3D Touch didn't work on half the Apple stock apps where it works on my 6S. Strange. Size was the main issue though.
Battery life on my 6S is really good. But boy it does feel small now
I did the same yesterday at Birmingham and think this morning my decision is made - 6S.
6S+ - I agree it's too big - I'm a heavy one hand user and whilst I can just about control the whole phone, I don't really see the benefits.
The battery on 6S+ is outstanding we know that.
I found that all I got was enlarged versions of the same apps on 6S - no new features just bigger. The internet still felt like 'mobile web'
What worst is that apps that weren't 6S optimized looked even worst on 6S+ - Very blurry text.
It's actually made me realise how good iPad mini is, you actually get a more desktop-class web experience.
Agreed on all points. The 6S just feels like such a nicer object after that clunky Plus.
Hope everyone is enjoying their new phones just thought I would post about envirofone and the crappy service I got (it may not be the same for other people) I had the extension offer and sent the phone off to them and now they are saying it's damaged but it was a direct replacement from Apple and always in a case that phone was mint when I sent it to them and I've never had a problem before with other company's so just be careful I would never use them again and now I've lost money in the resale of my phone
Lots of people in the past have had problems with the Facebook app installed, maybe try a day without it, delete the app and use Facebook through Safari for 24 hours and see if it makes a difference.
Siri seems to be running, even though I turned it off. Now restored to factory settings on iOS 9.0.1. Running hot.
Also, what does Photos do in the background for 25 minutes?
Siri is on for me and does only use about 1%
It will run hot if you have just restored your phone as it will be doing background stuff. Have you just reset settings or put the phone into dfu mode and restored in iTunes?
I had a feeling that would be the case.
I know someone posted that they spoke to someone at JL who said it was a "website error", but that would be worthless if you had bought a phone and experienced a locking issue.
Can't you just get a non o2 sim to test it (a free PAYG one)?
Imagine if it locked to that SIM though...
I'm not even going to try it, I don't like the part that says ''any attempt to change this may render the phone useless'' !!!Can't you just get a non o2 sim to test it (a free PAYG one)?

I agree with you, i think the value has dropped quite a bit on iPhone 6 and 5S etc. So envirofone are just making excuses to not buy it even if they gave an extention as they lose out.
Best to avoid them. But however many have sold and got what they asked for so not all that bad
