That’s some bullshit lol. I’ve had my 6S for two years and I’m gonna use it for ten if I can. Probably not though. According to the battery health check thing it’s at 76% maximum capacity now. Although I do have one of those portable power supply things so the battery is practically a non issue.

fucking hell, over a thousand pounds for a phone!

 

Wasn't the last Samsung over a grand as well?

 

As impressive as the latest phones are I just don't give a fuck anymore. Give me a £200 phone ever 2 years and I'm good. All the extra stuff they can do now is pretty much superfluous. I know some people see them as status symbols, but you know what? That money in my bank account is a status symbol too, and I don't have to look like a yuppie twat peacocking around with a piece of glass that can be broken with an accidental drop.

I don’t have a computer or a laptop and my phone is the only access I have to the internet, my email, a camera, 4K video camera, all the apps I share with my gf to communicate anytime anywhere, music, streaming service. Everything you take for granted having both a computer and a phone and a tablet. So it’s not a simple case of being a twat if you have an expensive phone. It’s my computer so I make sure it’s the best I can afford. Without it I’d be level pegging with grizzly adams.

I literally just upgraded last week. Apart from hugely better battery life I'm not seeing a huge amount of difference between the S9 and my 2 year old HTC 10.

 

If you're getting a new phone anyway, and it's the same price or less than you're paying, why not get the latest, but there's really no reason for spending 1k on a phone, it;'s going to do everything at the same speed as a phone around half that price

 

That said, if you can afford it, it's your money, spend it how you want

My contract was up for renewal so despite new iPhones about to be announced, I got an XR. Jumped from 10 gig data a month (which was always running out, every month) to a whopping 100 gig a month. I feel like I've been hammering it, and yet I have 16 days left to use 90.5 gig.

5G hasn't reached my area and probably won't for the considerable future (we only got widespread 4G a couple years ago ?) so it's not an issue for me but considering a lot of Android phones already have 5G it is a bit of a strange omission. I was reading about it in an article where they said it's because of a lawsuit between Apple and Qualcomm who provide the 5G modems/chips or something. 

 

I'm not due an upgrade for another year anyway so I'll most probably wait for the 11S/11S Pro in 2020. The OH is due an upgrade in July '20 and loves the Midnight Green colour so she might bite the bullet.

Haven’t had a new iPhone at launch for years, I got the 12pro today, the screen is somehow bigger than the screen on my 8plus yet the phone is smaller...


Downside no charger or earphones, charger I can live without but earphones....a tad tight with you ask me, phone is expensive surely headphones wouldn’t of gone a miss.

 

Update and transfer all my phone stuff was quick 20mins...as phones go I’m pretty happy with it, will test the camera the weekend!
