Thanks misi. It's interesting that no mention of the camera battery life is there too.

Is misi getting a Space Grey one

That's the plan for Xmas.
I don't like it but my wife likes it.

foxi's model 4 is still going strong touch wood

That's the one my wife is using. Little slow, the home button... works sometimes.

 

[foxidrive]

the home button... works sometimes.

Do you know about the soft home button? I use that all the time to avoid pressing the real home button.

Maybe it would be economical to get the home button replaced?

Do you know about the soft home button?

Good, thank you!

Maybe it would be economical to get the home button replaced?

It would cost 50-100+ dollars I believe.
This phone will become a spare phone with a Aldi SIM card in it.
Charge it sometime, cost $15 per year to keep it.

I had a quick look and it's a fair price.

Bend your phone!
Exciting new feature.

Putting a consumer electronic device in liquid nitrogen is stoopid, and doing it while it is turned on ... well he's certainly not an electronic tech.

 

[misi]

well he's certainly not an electronic tech.

You are as polite as an English knight...
Put it in the freezer then drop it down would give much more useful information.

 

[foxidrive]

Yes, or drop a freezer on top of the phone.

The new iPhone 6 comes with iOS 8.. Included is the new 'iWave' feature. This allows users to recharge their phone quickly in the microwave..

Apple have also released the new iRon accessory for the iPhone 6+ . Each morning, users can now straighten out the bends in the 6+ with iRon.

Spoiler

None of the above is true.......... ;p

A barrel of liquid nitrogen is included as well, to cool down the slightly warm phone.
