Looks good. Passworded notes will be very useful, the screen display at sunset also sounds good but whether it will be effective or not we shall see. Apple just keep getting even better .

The school part is the most important, get them while they're young.

I've just bought the iPhone 6's and the iwatch to replace my S5 and Sony Smart Watch .. I've been toying with it for a while and to be honest the features of the watch were my main driver.

Looks like it might be good for my health too.

The watch is brilliant for health, I definitely take notice and act. No doubt I'll upgrade to the Version 2 in March.

I was just wondering

Are people more honest with their appraisals of applications, or are apps just not that good

?
Hardly ever see a 5/5 in reviews

Like 99.9% of apps, they're crap, only a handful are actually needed to make a phone truly useful. The rest just fluff install for 5 mins, try it and then delete

I could see photos from my Sony Ericsson ray straight on my Panasonic viera, 5 YEARS ago,

With this iphone 6s it's a nightmare

If you must insist on using the free trial versions then what do expect? Android is exactly the same.

Every app I have on my iPhone is paid for yet I have been bothered with apps taking me to the app store while browsing.

I have noticed the updates seem to change the apps as I bought all the Modern Warfare games and until the recent version none had in app purchases but after automatic updates I have noticed that all of them have in app purchses.


I keep away from free games because of the extra charges and when you see what they charge no one in their right mind would pay that price for a console game nevermind a silly phone game. I think I have noticed £200 worth of in app purchases on games I have although I would never pay 1p knowingly for phone game upgrades.

There was a spate of rouge adverts sending people to the App Store, it's an ongoing battle and will depend greatly on the sites you visit.

You can get the beta now if you like, it's just out so probably an April launch.
