    Have a note 4 myself and going to using my upgrade on a 6+S as to be fair I miss having a iPhone as I don't know something about a iPhone that I like. I have used what they replaced the note 4 with in Ireland the 6+ edge and my god that is the worst and must arkword phone i have ever used in my life as it is shocking to grip.

    But the iPhone 6+S has the upgrades I was looking for but the only thing I am going to miss from my note 4 is the fact it takes f all to charge from dead to full but the battery life is shocking so I can't really be giving out.

    Role on my upgrade at the end of next month

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

    But there was no mention of a RAM upgrade, or did I miss something?

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

    If you look on the french or german sites you can see that the new models have gone up this year. In france the 6S starts at €749. I guessed they might do that as the euro is down 15% against the dollar since this time last year. The MacBooks also went up in price earlier in the year when the model were refreshed

    French prices are 749, 859 and 969. In Germany they're a tenner less

    Interesting how they totally removed the gold colour options from the 6 and 6+ variants.

    I don't think they ever talk openly about the RAM in the phones. Confirmation always comes from parts leaks and teardowns

    They didn't. It's almost certainly 2gb.

    Anything slightly intensive looks at it gives up. Try opening a heavy site like the guardian or the verge most of the time and it'll just go **** this I'm outta here. Laggy Rotation animations etc all stem from this. Constant reloading of tabs is massively irritatiating. More so given than the knew about this issue and threw the extra ram into the air 2.

    Same as last year plus a rose gold (pinkish) option. No news on the Ireland release date but we're usually in the second wave 1-2 weeks after the US launch. That's Sept 25 so expect probably Oct 9

    Do you reckon that next September, the iPhone 7 will be the 'most advanced' and 'most revolutionary' phone ever?

    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.

    There's a fairly significant spec bump in a few areas, externally they're following the usual pattern of no significant external changes.

    Noooo, I reckon they'll start and remove parts and installer slower components. :D

    I'm getting mine in Belfast on the 25th, what kills me is the exchange rate. Moving from 6 to 6s plus. Looking at the guts of 850. If I get about 520 on adverts for mine I'll be doing ok. Stick the rest on the CC and bang it off at 25 a week.

    Has the 6s got a 4MP bump to 12MP?

    Only want a 5s myself so I assume it will drop to circa €400?

    No you'll just get it quicker than here with the exchange rate at present it will roughly cost €50 more up in Belfast.

    So no improvement on batt life?? So charging every few hours by the sounds of it.

    Once they figure out a batt that lasts a week they will be laughing.

    I found the battery on iPhone 6 the best of the last few generations of iPhone but the more technology they add to these devices the more power hungry they become.

    You should get around €50 more on a private sale through donedeal or adverts no problem.

    how is it interesting? perhaps it didn't sell well because it looks shįte and they dumped it? Why is every decision they make interesting or mysterious. The last thing that apple did that was innovative and really blew me away was an app store with sdk where everyone else did the work, creativity and innovation aside from apple. A bloody colour taken of the shelves and that's interesting...wtf
