Super Mario coming to iOS is first main update.

Waste of money these flagship phones. Is it worth the£700 it costs. Decent technology but hardly worth that much.

[Organ Morgan.]

It's shiny bling worshipping at the altar of consumerism. The power of advertising has convinced millions of people to cough £700 for such phones when there's reasonable alternatives available for under £100. Of course, owners are free to choose how to spend their money how they wish. Though, I must say those who have debts would benefit greatly from a boot up the Aris.

Got £475 for mine actually on gumtree last week meaning my new latest model with 12 months warranty and open to a cheap sim free deal for the next 12 months will cost me just over 200 sovs for the year

I do like the functionality of the eye phone but until i can get one for a decent price, the Z3 will remain!!!

Price more expensive than in the States, disappointing

Blame Brexit for that. Also don't forget US prices exclude sales tax...

It is to those apple workers in Asia earning billions

Hardly, just spent two weeks in the states and it was eye wateringly expensive .


Was that brexit too?

[Arfur Europe]

Was sincerely disappointed with the iphone after all the hype. Itunes did my swede in everytime I tried to use it.

Anyways, a busy successful guy like me needs two sims in the same phone, plus I love the fact I have two batteries so can constantly charge fully, drain the other then switch. I do love my Samsung S5 Duos, fair play. It's quite old now, but it's incredibly robust and I have absolutely no need t upgrade it either as nothing that's come out in the last few years would improve on it.

My i phone is out of contract ( only just) I have gone sim only, no need for a new phone.
All of a sudden the screen is freezing , not responding to my gentle touch , are these things designed to fail when the contract has expired? :

Knowing Apple, yes. Planned / remote obsolesence perhaps?

in a word no, my 5c has been out of contract for 6 months, £5 a month gift gaff sim works the same as the o2 sim when contracted, phone works the same as when brand new, where as every android phone i ever owned was dog shit slow and laggy before the contract expired

Since brexit, the £ has dropped from about $1.50/£ to $1.20/£ so yeah

Spot on! £700 for a phone - madness.

$1.48/£ to $1.34/£ so not quite as above

[Wales-Bales]

Well played

The iPhone 7 will be missing the headphone jack. You can buy Airpods which will cost £159, but I've already got superior high quality IEM's.

The pound has fallen from 2.09 to 1.34 over the last 9 years . Brexit has a lot to answer for.

Yes because the exchange rate is at its worst in years

[Jimmy the Jock]

Read my post above.

Even if the rate was 2-1 the cost of living in America has gone through the roof. $10 for a small bottle of beer.
