UK iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus Thread

When I got my 6 Plus, I tried quite a few glass screen protectors, and I was only happy with one brand which wasn't the cheapest, but wasn't the most expensive either - JETech. The prices have dropped even more now I've come to buy for my 6s Plus, £5.45 for 1 or £5.95 for two from Amazon. Other brands I had bubbles or edges didn't stick properly....
I always keep a spare, they don't have unsightly bubbles and are much, much easier to apply than the non-glass protectors. Saved my 6 Plus screen multiple times - from when I've dropped it, knocked it off a kitchen worktop corner, or had it knocked out of my hands... The protector cracks but the screen is absolutely fine.

Thanks but I've used zagg a on a few previous iPhones and never been impressed.
Will check out some reviews anyway. I don't mind paying out that much if it's decent.
Thanks. Have gone for this. An Anker one and some Media devil plastic ones. Also thinking about an Ice Max from Ali express but postage will take 6-8 weeks s it's from China.

I've been looking for a new Lightning dock for a while now but I don't really fancy the official ones from Apple as there's no back support for the phone. So, I was shopping in Asda and found a Dexim Charging Dock reduced to £6, which I thought was a pretty good price. Little did I know it was actually only 3 quid when I went to pay for it!
The dock connects via the supplied micro USB cable and it charges only - it does not sync when connected to Mac/PC. The base of the Lightning connector is about an inch wide, so it will only fit cases with an open bottom like the official Apple leather and silicone cases for the 6 series. There were a couple of rubber support feet on the dock which I had to remove as the phone will not connect. I've trimmed off about 2mm with a scalpel and put them back in and now the phone docks perfectly.

I would have booked a genius by now. I don't know anyone with as many problems as you have had with a new phone.
Hard to believe that it's already been 1 month since the iPhone 6s was released, The previous month before the 6s seemed to last longer than the month has just passed.
I did have a minor glitch, Battery percentage stayed at 97% for a few hours before I was thinking that can't be right so switched iPhone off and back on and corrected it back to 45%. This still on iOS 9.0.2. Now found that 9.1 is now released so I will be updating the software. 3 times updated in a 1 month. My old Galaxy S4 recieved 1 update in the entire 2 years I had the phone.

Hahaha I know right! argh not sure what to do.....I would have booked a genius by now. I don't know anyone with as many problems as you have had with a new phone.
I'm currently chatting to Apple as its just one more to add to my list of annoying things and seeing if they suggest me go in for a swap or not
ALSO I've noticed today when I went to do that Apple chat my 6S is not on my support profile
Indeed...
I'm sure you'll get everything sorted.
I'll give it some more time and see how I get on, dont really fancy going into to make an appointment and them not doing anything about it
Guys today my iPhone wouldn't turn on and the home button was really hot....
i had to press the wake button and home together to get the screen back on again...i have seen many people with this issue...
I have the iPhone 6s 64gb...should i return in to vodafone and ask for a new one? I know it sounds petty but this phone is on a two year contract so i don't want a handset that will give me trouble?

If you're having trouble with your iPhone contact Vodafone and say it's not fit for purpose and that you'd like a replacement (or repair). It isn't petty at all...
People keep telling me its better to take it to apple straight....
Vodafone will just send it to Apple for repair.... I think you have 14 days to exchange it for a brand new one?
Does anybody know if Apple will give you a brand new phone if you have had it for less than 30 days?
I'd take it direct to Apple rather than Voda. Apple are more likely to deal with it there and then
No I don't believe so. They'll s so it for a white box refurb. But at the end of the day the day apples refurbs are just as good as new. Perhaps even better as they'll have been through testing to ensure they're up to being handed out.
