Title: iPhone 6 plus
Post by: solorider 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

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.

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

looking forward to the galaxy s6 myself ...although they have done away with the sd card and made it internal memory .

PS. my mrs is on her 3rd iPhone 6+ ... 2 have bricked on her but they replaced them no question ...makes you wonder

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
