Why why why why is the apple music quieter that my own music?!

I don't know but it could be because many artists boost the volume of their CD tracks to make them stand out when played on the radio. This involves them "clipping" the top end of the dynamic range (or something - I'm not a technician) and reducing the overall sound quality. Perhaps they don't need to do this on iTunes store files, as it won't go out on the radio (i.e. they are quieter but better)?

It's a good 1/3 quieter, at max in my car, it's pointless!

Yes, me to. I thought it was down to Apple not making their software readily available to BMW & others.

This has got worse over the last few days, it now feels like the screen is clicking into place, as if it isn't secured.

I take it that I need a genius bar appointment for that, as there aren't any available at my local Apple shop.

The screen is loose. If you can isolate the noise to the bottom of the screen then you can loosen the screws and apply pressure to the screen (not too much) and tighten back up.

Genius said new screen as it is under warranty, just need to book an appointment with them. Will try tightening the screw carefully first though to save another trip.

It will be 6s following the normal apple update routine.

Looking to upgrade from old 4S, to potentially a 6S. What is the smart way of procuring these days? Buy the phone from Apple, then SIM only plan. Works out cheaper? Alternative is to go pay monthly deal, no doubt pay over odds over 2 years for handset...

Thanks G

As usual, it depends. The obvious answer is SIM free with a SIM only plan, but if you spend over your contract on a regular basis, you can get a retentions deal from your network that comes in the same price or cheaper than an outright purchase, over the 2 year contract period. If you float around between networks, SIM free will always be cheaper.

Usually they are about the same cost (they were when I looked about a year ago. SIM only gives you lots of flexibility. O2 does something sensible which they call "Refresh". They break the monthly contract into "minutes" and "cost-of-phone". When the phone is paid off, the monthly contract drops to the cost of just the minutes.

No idea if others have started doing the same.

I am with Orange/EE, don't think they do that.. As a comparison recently got my son an iPhone 6 for £36.99 a month, no upfront cost with unlimited calls and text and 2GB of data. Considering the phone still costs over £500, that is roughly £14-£15 a month for the plan over the 2 years. Did not think it was too bad..

I got the same EE deal for £23.99/month from mobiles.co.uk

That sounds like an amazing deal. Do you have a link you can share please?

The mobiles.co.uk deals tend to come and go. You have to set the filter on the site and hoe for the best. Got mine a few months ago

It didn't work, will get the screen replaced.

You are basing it in a site that has rumours on the title

They always get somethings right, but tey also get a lot of things wrong

I predict that it will be the 6S as that falls in line their naming strategy. Phone after that should be the 7. I have never upgraded my phone between contracts, so I shall have to wait till Jan 2017 to upgrade my phone. I imagine my 6 will be dog slow by then

Will it? The 5S we have here still runs reasonably well. By no means "dog slow". The 4S on the other hand... but that's another two years older.

Yes but it's the most reliable source for these rumours on the Internet, literally everything we know so far is just a rumour, but having been following them for about 8 years now, leaks like those look bang on. They tend to filter out all the rubbish and only post stuff that's quite likely too.
