I have the camera cresent as well as a clicking (loose?) screen.

If I send it back, and get it replaced, will it go down to 3 months warranty or will I get a year?

If imagine it will be a continuation of the same year.

I'd be cool with that, just don't want to shorten what I've got.

If you can book into an Apple shop they do the fix their and then. Took them about an hour and twenty minutes to do mine.

Anyone had any battery problems with their iPhone6+?

Had mine for a week now and the battery frustratingly refuses to last any less than 2.5 days.

My old S4 would barely last a day, it's so outrageous that I may even return it out of utter disgust. Why did no-one warn me!

I find mine to be quite frustrating, it's a bit too big but then it's easier to read and use. In some ways I'd like to go back to my 5 but in others I wouldn't.

I feel the same. I've recently (2 days ago) received a 6 Plus, and sometimes I look at it and think it's the best phone I've ever had and that the size is not an issue, and other times I think "that's fking massive. Why didn't I go for the standard 6?".

Mine is in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case too, which has added an extra couple of millimeters to the dimensions.

But would I go back to the 4" screen of a 5/5S? No.

Mine isn't a plus, it's the smaller 6 but still a fair size, mainly doesn't really fit in a back pocket well but it's not great in a front one either. I'm hoping I'll grow to like it.

Sorry. As you had responded to HRL's comment about battery problems with the 6 Plus, I assumed that you had the Plus as well.

>Then we have the imac that will not hold a wifi connection

Usually down to channel interference. Go into router settings, disable Auto, and select either channel 1 or 6 to see if that solves the problem

I have a 6+ and I bought two cases for it recently (I couldn't decide which one to get so just ordered both).

I got a Spigen Neo Hybrid in Reventon Yellow, and a Spigen Slim Armour in Gunmetal. The Neo Hybrid is a smarter-looking and slimer case, but the Neo Hybrid feels like it would offer better protection.

I ordered both from the spigen.co.uk website on a Thursday afternoon and they were with me on Saturday morning, very quick service.

I like carbon fibre, so went for the Cygnett Urban Shield.

That's the one I have, but in metal slate.

It's a very nice case.

Seems odd to me that it would be graphics related , isn't the screen just a 1080p screen?
more complicated than that unfortunately:

internet said:
iPhone 6+ with Retina display HD - Scaling factor is 3 and the image is afterwards downscaled from rendered 2208 × 1242 pixels to 1920 × 1080 pixels.
as i remember it's the downscaling that's the issue, something which the normal 6 doesn't require... something like that anyway.
Do folks here think this is something which can/will be solved with a software upgrade? Looking to pick up a 6 or 6+ after the new year but the above issue is putting me off the latter.

I'd say not.

If you're not fussy then it's a great phone. I am just a stickler for stutters. Can't handle it.

doubt it. If it was, then it would indicate that the current graphics software is nowhere near optimised on the hardware.

Thanks for the replies to my case query everyone, I've ordered one which is maybe OTT but hopeful tough enough to take knocks,and as a mate has just broke his iphone which used a thin case i hope this will do the job.
