What's the warranty length on an iPhone? It's two years on the S7/8.
I'm still getting OS updated on the wife's S5. Pretty sure Electronics are covered for two years, seen replacements way beyond a year. |

I might jump ship this year and go for the OnePlus 5, depends on how much Apple will charge for their new phones or whether there is a worthwhile reduction to their existing iPhones.

Depends what it is, phones are typically covered for the length of the contract you take out. If its unfixable they will provide you with one, although it may well be recon'd not new.

I went from an iPhone to a OnePlus X, when this phone eventually gives up I'll be looking at getting another OnePlus. Not much I can fault it on. |
I've done exactly the same. I've got an iPhone 6 and got fed up with paying £54 a month. Went sim only and I'm paying £24 a month now with more internet browsing also, no brained !. And you're right, phones are not improving in my eyes.
|
Looks like the "new" iPhone willl be the iPhone X, which will have the reported new features.
The iphone 8 is going to be a slight redesign on the 7 but with a glass back & wireless charging, and not much else changed. |
I cant quite imagine how its even possible to pay 54 quid a month for an iPhone 6 / contract

What ???!

BBC news says the iPhone 8 will be the first phone to break the £1k mark. I definitely won't be getting one at that price. |
Both the iPhone 8 and X were a bit of an anti-climax. The 8 being the same as the 7 of the previous year except for a slightly faster cpu and a glass back and the X same as the 8 except for the bigger screen and Face ID. I want a bigger screen phone (my eyes aren't what they use to be!) so considering the 8 plus 64GB but it's significantly heavier than the 7 plus and a lot more expensive.....

They probably sussed nobody would fork out 1500 for it !

I've reached my cost limit with phones of £600. My S8+ I bought in from Hong Kong is the higher spec with 6gb ram dual SIM/SD card. It has 128gb on board and further 256gb card. It lasts the whole day and has a beautiful screen an take great photos. Don't need anything more

£999 for the 64GB, ouch. Not sure I can go over 1k. I'm pissed they don't have 128GB.

I really can't see how they justify it. There doesn't seem to be anything in the spec that makes it stand out as being worth that much more than the competition.
There's a lot of new tech, the face scanning blew me away, that level of innovation isn't cheap. You can't compare it to scanning a photo. I can't get the 64GB, want the X and might just blow £1150 on it, blimey that hurts just saying but it does get more use than my Laptop. |
have to say nothing mega special about the new one, face recognition is interesting, but seen various comments from press people who have actually used it saying it's not 100% effective when they tried it, price is just silly and thats the only two real highlights.

Are you saying new iPhone is 2x fast as S8 , using same components
Or 2x as fast as previous iPhone. :wonder: Either way I think I'd suffer slightly less speed and take Andy's phone , at half the price ! |
In certain areas the iPhone is more than 2x as fast as the S8, it's 2x as fast as the iPhone 7. Of course it doesn't have the same components, Apple don't license their mobile chipset.
The S8 is a great device and I'm sure you'll be happy with it as Andy is, but it doesn't run iOS so it's out. |
Sigh, no sign of a smaller sized phone, according to Cnet, X is even larger! :(
Now wondering if I should just buy the retro Nokia or something like a Jelly 4G for the phone stuff, Ditch the iPhone and just use a iPad for all the other stuff. :wonder: |
The X is smaller than the 8+ and has a bigger screen. Perfect for you.

The other problem is the same that the desktop/laptop market hit a while back; most phones are already 'fast enough'. Having twice the horsepower in a phone doesn't mean much when you weren't using all you had anyway, so the idea of paying to get something faster doesn't sit well. This is then all multiplied by the fact that phone improvements are reasonably 'incremental' these days; it's been a long time since something truly revolutionary happened, and spending a grand to get a slightly larger display or a slightly niftier fingerprint scanner isn't particularly attractive. I considered the £500 for my Nexus 6p about as much as I was comfortable with, and felt the £700 for the Pixel XL was excessive. It's not that I can't afford it, I just find the idea of a grand on any phone deeply objectionable - if the Pixel 2 isn't reasonably priced, I'll probably skip two generations for once, an approach I'm unlikely to be alone in! |
S'Marketing innit
if it wasn't outrageous price your apple customer wouldn't be happy , feel something was wrong ;) |
