I use tapatalk, and don't mind it at all. It's just quite easy to have a bit of a **** take with the name of it though, i.e crapatalk etc. Also I find it all a bit sad that people have the whole "sent from whatever phone" bollocks set up. It does my head in.

They believed it last time. I'm sure it would work for android too, give it two years to catch up.

Just had my 6 delivered.

To add context I already have a 5s.

I haven't actually used the phone yet, but just taken it out of the box to charge. I think it's a thing of beauty. The 5s looks very dated in comparison imo. This phone is so much slicker to look at.

Build quality looks and feels amazing.

Had the office one turn up this afternoon. It does look rather nice. Only had a very short time to use it, most of it spent enabling "find my iPhone".

Co-worker got his one, so I expect a report from him on Monday, plus I'll no doubt be doing extensive testing on it too

I can't decide if this is a joke about ios7 or a genuine question.

He could waterproof it if he needed a phone when swimming.

Too late to the party, it was a **** way of convincing people they could stop using blackberry buttons. The new Apple keyboard is awesome.

What's awesome about it?

Have they added a row of numbers at the top to avoid swapping screens all the time?

The only thing worries me is somehow they could be getting your keystrokes and passwords.

Otherwise , be honest , why on earth would you choose two thumbs over one finger to type a sentence!

Type "S5 swimming" in utube Plenty of examples.

You do have a point though, the S5 is water resistant not waterproof, there is a big difference DPB. Although people have taken the S5 swimming and its been fine as per utube i wouldn't recommend doing it constantly.
