iPhone 6

Anyone finding their 6 isn't that great at knowing which way up it is after waking up? I often have to "reset" the orientation by rotating the phone between portrait and landscape and back again when I turn it on. Bit of a git when it's in a car mount and you're driving.

Trying to work out if it's an OS or hardware issue.

Mine is slightly worse than the iPhone 5 for this.

Upgrade from vodafone

It sounds incredibly cheap but you say it's over 48 months?

[Andyjc86]

My head was saying 24, yet my fingers were saying 48 for my calculations, for some reason. Just checked, and its a 24 month contract, so I'm only actually paying £355 for the phone.

I knew it sounded a good deal at the time, but it really does look good now.

Set up my new 6 PLUS today.

Fookin Ell it is massive!

You'll be surprised how quickly you become used to it!

I've had a 6 for a couple of months. It now feels, if anything, a bit small. My wife's 5S feels tiny and the kids' 4s are miniscule.

I looked at a 6+ the other day and it didn't seem very large at all.

One's perception changes rapidly.

Good, now go apologise to all Galaxy Note users you mocked over the past years :P.

I just got my 6 on vodafone. No upfront cost, 64gb phone, unlimited text and minutes, 10gig data, subscription to sky sports, now TV or spotify premium. £42 per month.

The phone is great, but it seems to thin for my liking, so I've ordered a cover to bulk it up a bit.

Which subscription should I choose from the above list?

Cracking deal, congrats!

Had my 6 plus for a few weeks now and I love it. iOS 8 has more bugs than expected... hopefully Apple will hoover them up in the interim updates.

Sim-only deal of 1,000 mins / 5,000 texts / 3GB 4G data for £10/month.

No mocking from me - I looked on them with some envy

I disagree entirely. To me the 6+ is still comically big for a phone.

6 is the perfect size in terms of screen but 5 still feels perfect in the hand.

4 just feels like a chunk and the screen is horrible.

Screen protetors.

I had some cheap plastic one, and it was matt and dull, so I've recently purchased an "Anker® Premium Tempered Glass Screen" from amazon. I fitted it last night, and it's very clear and smooth (as the actual screen is). But it's barely covering the screen. There must be half a mm in it, so one of the sides is overlapping the screen, so when I look at it, I get this funny magnified effect.

Anyway, the glass is great, but is there 1 out there that fits better? The misssus has a 5C, so I got her one and it goes well over the screen and looks good. The 6 one stops 3mm+of the edges (yes I know they are curved).

[Esseesse]

Don't use a screen protector. Totally unnecessary.

[illmonkey]

The multiple scratches I put on my screen in the first week beg to differ.

[Troubleatmill]

It depends on what you need.

Having spent a month taking a 1 hour train journey to London and back - having something to read is nice.
Kindle / Ipad mini is too big for a pocket.

Iphone is too small to reasonably read the screen - without hitting "next page" every few words.
The 6+ is the right size.

Having a battery that lasts a couple of days is very nice too.


And as you get older - the increased size of the words helps a lot too.

In your pocket with keys?

Nope, my right pocket is phone only. Most of the scratches are done when using it with my thumb.

No, I don't work in a metal factory, I have a desk job.

Hmm don't know then. I have been using my iPhone 5 since it came out without a screen protector and I would struggle to find a scratch.

[Altrezia]

I take great care of my phones, and mine has light scratches too. If you google it a *lot* of people are reporting the same. They can be hard to see, so they don't bother me too much, but they are certainly there.

[Debaser]

Scratches can be down to luck. I've had a 4 for two years, a 4S for three years and a 5 for two years, none had screen protectors and I never scratched the screens.

Within a week of getting my 6 I dropped it onto a hard, grit covered surface and put scratches all over the screen.

Keys are highly unlikely to scratch a modern phone so unless your thumb is made of diamond, that certainly isn't the culprit.

Do you live near a beach?

[illmonkey]

Obviously it wasn't my skin, something was on my thump and scratched it.

I had the same issue with my 5 as well.
