Zero, as you don't have to use it.
It's fine, albeit just a bit style over substance.
I didn't really have you down as a latest model smartphone kinda guy, Jimmy.
Oh yeah I forgot about the iris thing.
I don't really care as work pays all my phone whether I go over or not, but it should be as simple as having your full home allowance in whatever country you're in.
I just use a pin like I have done since the land before time.
I'm not, I'm just on a two year contract cycle that always seems to coincide with the latest lump of Korean crap being released.
It is. If you go over that it's into expensive territory, but as I said I doubt most people get near their upper limits.
I'm surprised your work even allow you to have Samsung phone.
Everyone here has Samsung phones. If your own company doesn't make X, the next best thing is any other Korean product. Which is great news for Hanguk tyres.
Iphoners, is the 7 Plus worth €99 over the 7?
I genuinely didn't know there was an iPhone 7. What's the difference between the 6?
Chipset, camera, and waterproofing. Not sure if the force touch thing is on the 6 either.
There's a 6S between the two of them also, and the 8 (or X) is out in a couple of months.
Would you not wait to see what the next one will be like? My anecdotal advice is that I have a 6s, and once I'd gotten used to the bigger device (upgraded from a 5) I wished I'd bought a 6s Plus instead.
No 3D Touch on the 6. It's actually a really useful feature, but it doesn't get mentioned much.
I've to pick one to get with work this week. I've just bought a U11 so I've no real interest in the Android ones on offer. Probably won't use the iPhone long term but might as well get one for a play with. I'd just have to pay €99 if I wanted the 128GB Plus but the regular size 128GB is free.
Also, if I decide to sell, would a jet black or red tend to shift easier?
The funny thing about the iPhone 7 is that a lot of people who buy it don't even realise there's no headphone jack anymore. A girl in work bought it and she didn't realise until she unboxed it.
Jet Black apparently gets badly scratched so could work against you?
Good to know. I was wondering would the glossy finish mark badly. Though if I decide to sell I won't even be opening it. Pity the red isn't all red and it would be very popular I'd say.
My new phone is the same, first time I ever had one without it. Doesn't bother me though as on this day and age you'd imagine all headphones would be bluetooth.
Apparently the pre packaged USB-C ones are really good but I haven't tried them.
All depends on whether you think the Plus is too big. If not, I would pay the extra for it.
Isn't Jet Black even more expensive than regular colours, btw?
No, looking at all the options the storage changes the price but the colors are all the same. It's €200 for a 256GB.
I'll just need to get it shifted if I'm selling before people start hearing too much about the X, as it'll be the first real design change since the 6.
Anyone here with an iPhone regularly swipe away your apps to close them? Well, stop doing it. Annoys me seeing people do it thinking it helps their battery life.

Pretty sure I'm gonna pick up a Honor 9. It looks like a great phone for the price.
Got Huawei P10 lite for 270-ish euros a couple of months back. Pretty good value for money so far, although I have to admit I had an LG before so the bar was set pretty low.
"Apps in the background are effectively “frozen”, severely limiting what they can do in the background and freeing up the RAM they were using."
How can this be possible if i still get notifications from those apps otherwise?
You get notifications even if they're not running.
Not necessarily but I don't really see the point in arguing so I'll take your word for it lol
Notifications are not the same as an app.
Push notification services are separate from an app and can receive messages even when the app is inactive.
Not bad, reminds me of an LG G6 a bit. The early leaks with it in a case made it look like it had no bezels at all.
Hadn't the sound on but presumably the fingerprint scanner is in the screen as I don't see one on the back.
I dropped my phone in the toilet after I'd done a shit (before flushing).
The rumour (leaked in HomePod firmware the other week) is that there will be no touchID on the premium version, with 3D face scanning instead. Interesting that they would ditch after just adding it to the Mac lineup, but they must have a very secure and easy to use alternative if they're ditching it.
We still seem to be a way off having scanners under screens.
I'd heard the yield rates were terrible on the embedded ones which is why I thought it was curious if they were including it. I've since seen some apparent photos taken in foxconn of ones shopping with it mounted on the rear, around the same position as a Pixel.
The face scanning is interesting and if they go with it on some models then you can bet they'll have it secure at least. Hopefully it works better than Samsung's iris experiment, which should hopefully disappear once the screen embedded ones become feasible.
Oh and lol at @Magic. Did you fish it out?
Of course I did, thankfully it was a solid one and I'd done lots of wiping but it still sunk half-way down, top end in first thankfully. I stuck my hand right in amongst the ploppers and pulled it out, hand soaked in piss and desperately checking for shite. I went to run it under the tap but realised that would be stupid so pulled the case off, threw that in the sink and wiped my phone to fuck with the hand towel. You really are fucked if that happens. I didn't even wipe it down with Dettol wipes or anything.
Lol shitty ear.
IP67 ftw.
My smart arse wife said I talk shit so nobody should notice but I returned with yes but it wasn't the microphone it was the earpiece and that normally serves up your shite so you are correct I won't notice any difference.
Game, set and match.
I'm not even sure if it is, the best thing is it's cracked at the back as well and it was definitely submerged beneath the camera. It's an A5 2016.
They're not. I wouldn't really trust any phone even if it had a rating but that one doesn't.
Boom
What are the MS Office apps like on an iPad?
They're really good.
Good range of the features in the likes of excel? I always find the Android tablet ones a bit clunky compared to desktop but I'm really contemplating an iPad pro instead of a new laptop. Ever try the android versions for comparison? Nobody I know with an iPad has an office subscription.
My old Galaxy S5 barely lasts a day now and it's generally just very slow so I'm going to have to give in and get a new phone. Still, three years out of it isn't bad. The Nokia 8 looks quite decent. Seems to be getting good reviews (although not earth-shattering) but more importantly is reasonably priced. Can get it with unlimited mins and texts and 8GB data for £25 a month with some (automatic) cashback offer for £80 making it effectively £21.67 per month.
Anyone have any other recommendations?
A Nokia? Is it 1997 again already?
They're actually made by HMD now (another Finnish company) and branded as Nokia.
Doing the old 'I want to leave. Convince me not to.' dance with Three now.
Got past level 1 . Now going through to the cancellations team. The big boys.
Level 1 pleb's 'deals' were shit too.
Get a Xiaomi Mi A1 if you're looking a bargain.
They called my bluff.
Fuck sending away to China for that though.
