See that makes sense! But for me, like being on a £60 contract for 24 months and huge upfront cost is just a big no no, I hate being tied into a contract and thats just very expensive

There's definitely never been stock this late in the day - really glad I woke up at 8AM now
I had to work today, so I woke up at 6.30... And I was driving to work at "go live time" so I had to find somewhere with decent 4g signal to pull over and prepare
That's what I am going to be doing from now on. From contracts being good deals now they are more like buying a phone on finance and paying a premium to split the cost.
I basically pay £40 a month and get a new phone every year. You would spend £45 a month.
I've got a 5s and the 6s plus on pre-order and the differences between the 6 to 6s excites me way more than 5 to 5s did. I was disappointed that the 5s didn't end up with a bigger screen and only had a minor bump in the camera. I'm glad to see what they've done with the camera in the 6s, and that they've finally upgraded the RAM to 2GB. Jury will be out for me on 3D Touch until I've had a chance to play with it, but I certainly like the idea of some of the Preview functionality and right click options in iOS.
Personally I feel this is one of the better S upgrades as it's taken what I really liked in the 6 and added in the other parts I've been wanting to see a long time.
Mobile contracts are really taking the mick these days going by this thread. Been buying a handsets only for over 10 years. Never going back to paying extortionate monthly bills and being tied in for 24 months. Cheap SIM only is the way forward. 200 mins. 300 3to3 mins. 4 gb Tethering Allowance. AYCE texts and most importantly AYCE data. £15 pcm. No way I am coming away from this plan!
Take it you didn't spot my post? Very reasonable and only tied in for 12 months so yearly upgrades.
Paying for the device upfront is definitely the most desirable option but the small business I'm part of certainly can't afford £2-3k upfront for a few devices.
But wow that 3 SIM you have seems like a mega deal.
It's only possible with iPhone though. .Can't get enough revalue on android
I just placed an order for 6S Plus gold 128 GB. can't wait until 25th Sep. hope there will be no delay.
Ummmm because they are hideously expensive!! I'm with Three for £15 a month unlimited data - never going to choose to ditch that!!
Nope it's called 'all-you-can-eat Data, 200 minutes - 1month' - also unlimited texts and 2000 three to three minutes
They will let me keep this unless I choose to change .. On the older (only a year) contracts they don't even increase the prices.
This. People banging on about being underwhelmed. Think they've made a great phone even better. Fingers crossed for the RAM to be confirmed at 2GB as that will push the phone into beast mode. Apple might be perceived as lagging behind compared to Droid phones and tech specs, but still think their optimisation is up there with the best smartphones have to offer.
Reserved mine this morning to pick up on the evening of launch day.
iPhone 6s 64GB Silver
Will be trading in my iPhone 6 in the Apple Store to put towards the purchase. Can't wait until the 25th!

3. Same deal as Loopy65 I think. Not sure if it's available at that price anymore but as long as I keep paying and don't change the plan the deal is mine to keep as is. It's getting passed on to one of my sons in my "Will"
Well sources have claimed that Apple have told them. I'm sure they are telling the truth but still have to wait till the 25th to be sure.
Are you referring to the "chat" someone had with an apple advisor specifically about the ram?
Im guessing he is with Three (3) on their Sim Only Plans (SIM All-you-can-eat Data, 200 Minutes - 12 Months.) Its currently £17 p/m, its the same as what I'm on and its great plus you get free roaming in over 18 countries. http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Plans_for_phones
It's not been confirmed. There has been no official statement from Apple or any tear down of the phone. At this point it's still rumour and speculation.
