iPhone 6 plus
« on: 11 March 2015, 09:51:57 pm »
Got myself a iPhone 6 plus yesterday, what a massive difference to the iPhone 5 in battery life, I have been using the Internet a lot and had the Bluetooth on and I still have 40% battery life, with the 5 it was gasping for energy. And I had 18mb internet speeds inside a building and a 5mb upload speed which is faster than virgin media 50mb fibre optic broad band!!

You'll notice the bigger difference also because of the age of the battery. My Galaxy Note 3 had an insane battery life when I first got it over a year ago but it's slowly getting worse. I can still get a good 36-48 hours sometimes but I usually have to charge every day now whereas when it was new I could get 3-4 days out of it. My advantage is that I can buy a new battery if it gets too bad ;)

good point deadeye....it is irritating that you cant change an iphone battery......even my old "retro" nokia phone I was able to still buy another brand new battery for a few weeks ago....ok so its retro charm soon lost its appeal when I switched it on and realised that it wasn't as good as I remembered but still I dislike this sealed in battery malarkey by apple....same with ipads they aren't cheap...eventually will I be up shit creek with an ipad that just wont take power etc
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike

There is more and more phones now where you can't change the battery, I also have a Motorola moto g that you can't change the battery.

It's easy to change an iphone batt. Type it into YouTube for countless vids. I do all the work on Mrs an my iPhone's and mates. Not to difficult and u save a bomb on Apple repair prices.
Just flapping about on this stagnant little pond on the outer rim of the internet.....yup....  :-))

This non replaceable battery business is why I just bought a galaxy note 4 instead of waiting a month for the galaxy S6.  Looks like Samsung want to copy even the dumb things that Apple do LOL

There's no replacement for displacement

I cant understand the decision to remove the SD card on the S6. I am guessing it is so they can sell more of the higher end models but makes it a pain to upgrade to as you have to copy al your photos and music over rather than just move the SD card.

I agree it's a pain, but ultimately I don't think I'm too concerned providing the internal storage is sufficient - minimum 64GB for my needs really
