a bit meh on the iphone. going to upgrade to the 6 plus from the 6 i think

Don't. The phone really struggles with 1gb of ram. The RAM is literally the only reason I'm upgrading.

Where's the free U2 album?

That was last October, no?

Bit meh, like the 4k videos but nothing else would make me consider upgrading from the 6 plus for now

will you automatically get extra storage now on existing plan?

I would assume so the 20GB should go up to the 50GB.

Currently on a 5s (and in contract until early next year) so a move to a 6s likely by Christmas on the cards if they let me do an early upgrade. I still think the 6 Plus is just too damn big.

Really thought there'd be something done with the battery situation. Sold my 6 for a OnePlus One purely because of battery life. Is two days solid of battery that much to ask?

Battery on the plus is excellent.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 09-09-2015 8:13pm

Calling the 6 the 6s and upgrading pretty much fcuk all is one hell of a marketing ploy by Apple. If you spend that kind of cash on it and already own a 6 you're insane.

Apple product owner by the way.

The annual 'meh' responses here.
I really wonder what people were expecting.

Last time the storage plan was reduced in price the credit card was refunded with the pro-rata difference for the amount of time left on my storage contract.

I get 1.5 days on the 6 with normal use. With very light use I'd get two days. Surprised you couldn't get that with the 6 Plus, I have everything enabled on my phone too, wifi, Bluetooth, background app refresh etc.

Bored_lad · 09-09-2015 8:16pm

Ya I can't see why people are complaining. They have just released a new iPad which I can imagine will be hugely successful and will have a lot of uses in the medical field etc. They also updated the apple TV which was long overdue. The iPhone update to the 6s was what they have always done the s upgrade has never been a major one.

naasrd · 09-09-2015 8:17pm

Prices up on Belfast site.

Jobs said a lot of ****e, only to do a 180 when it suited him. This is entirely consistent with his leadership.

MagicHumanDoll · 09-09-2015 8:20pm

Different perspective to all you spoiled brats (I'm kidding haha

)

Currently using an iPhone 4, yes 4, which is beyond broken. So, watching that live stream knowing I'm in a position to buy finally is nothing short of incredible. Jump from 5mp rear camera to a 12mp rear and 5mp front is mind blowing, plus the 4k video, on top of the obvious speed improvements from the 4..

It's an S, a bridge between 6 and 7, but to someone who doesn't have the luxury to upgrade yearly it's class!!

godtabh · 09-09-2015 8:21pm

the last gen phones didnt reduce by 100#=€. Just 30 ffs!

Heisenberg1 · 09-09-2015 8:21pm

How does the pre order sale work ? is it like reserve and collect like last year.

Niemoj · 09-09-2015 8:22pm

I liked the ad, was nice and up to date.

mdwexford · 09-09-2015 8:22pm

Usual rubbish, gimmicky tripe and tiny "upgrades"

Stylus is embarrassing and a bigger iPad is stupid.

Can't believe I used to be excited for these conferences.

If the new iOS makes my iPhone 5 run slower I might get a 6 for the added screen real estate. My iPad Air original still does me fine.

Niemoj · 09-09-2015 8:23pm

Anyone else hear at the end when One Republic's lead was performing and he's taking a Selfie with Tim he lets a lyric with "buullshít" slip?

Just me? Haha

Same as the 6 last year £619 for a 64GB.

Niemoj · 09-09-2015 8:27pm

The new Apple TV is one ugly looking thing.

33 millimetres in height, making it look like a fat puck.

feelgoodinc27 · 09-09-2015 8:28pm

so theres an ipad mini 4 and the pro, but there was no update to the ipad air line?

hu4rorZ · 09-09-2015 8:28pm

Did i understand it correctly, that the LTE is now worldwide? So if i buy it here, and move to canada it would work there too no probs?
