lets try again Jack, you clearly have a problem with basic reading comprehension.









Here's the thing:-

What matters to everyone apart from obsessive weirdo's on the spectrum like yourself is what they actually experience day to day themselves. No one else cares about "test" results if it it works in the real world.

I've had iphones since the 3G (just because I like them) and never had any reception, signal, overheating or anything else that would cause me to lose faith in the brand. It works for me and therefore I'm a satisfied consumer.

If Duncan's having problems he needs to change his sim, service provider or hardware. Probably in that order. And just man up and do it, rather than coming in here and bleating/trolling for a rise.

Get out of here with your real world experience.

I've had no signal loads of times all around the world, generally everyone around me is in the same boat - sometimes literally - but occasionally there's a winner and sometimes that winner is the iPhone.

I think the fact my SIM in her phone pulls up a page on mobile internet straight away where mine will do the same but at dial up speed is pretty conclusive

Kind of. You have a known problem with your local mast, until that's fixed holding it right could make a difference.

But you don't have an iPhone 6. There were likely changes that were awesome for some, but not for you. It was the same for me until 4G arrived.

You may have a case for a refund, maybe an upgrade to the 7.

The 6s and plus version are probably the worst iPhones for a few generations. My son's 6s bent like a banana and would lose battery power at 50℅ my daughters plus version has a knackered camera and again loses power when cold all just over a year old.

This one is ten months old, well when it started going wrong.

Thinking about it I'm pretty sure iv never had a phone that's made it through to the end contract all working . This is only second 24 month one iv had since '98 , if memory serves

Make sure you tell them that there's a broken cell tower in your area, that'll help them with the diagnosis.

Ah, cross your fingers then, it's so subjective that unless there's a recall you'll need luck.

Well the "genius" plugged it in did various stuff, and concluded there's no hardware problem

So that leaves software and apps

All I know is every phone iv had to date would get internet with couple bars and 3g showing.
This one refuses and/or very very slow

Definitely back up locally if your amount of iCloud storage does not cover your amount of files. Free will get you going again but paid is best.
