Still happy with my iPhone 6 - Nothing in the range appeals at the moment. If a smaller Xr was available then possibly, but I'll wait. Got a few more important things to sort out at the moment.

Another 6 user

Still on my 6 - thought about upgrading last year, but as the 6 is still generally fine I just replaced the battery. Another reason not to update was my commitment to paying off a credit card bill for the last 3 years (0%) so I was being sensible with my money (which in reality I should've been a while ago and not had a CC).

Rock and ..... place

I have a choice of 5mb ADSL (no hope of FTTC due to the street cabinet being uneconomically viable - because it's too small) or a over utilised Virgin Service.

Currently on ADSL, pondering over Virgin's new 50mb for £26 deal.

Yay

(I know others are in a much worse situation)

The biggest problem I have with these airpods is the lack of control. You have to tell Siri to adjust the volume and it's not clear if double or treble tap to skip/go back on tracks is an option.

I'm not ready to speak to a virtual assistant to adjust my volume.

My Samsung TV has just gone bang :(

It is 8 years old though and one of the (High Voltage Dipped) capacitors is now resembling a crescent moon.

Ming-Chi Kuo comes out with the same stuff every year - does anyone actually care.

Cameras have been sold this way for a few years. Companies that appear to be uk based (or give the impression) are selling for around 20% less, no mention of VAT on website. Some interesting small print in the terms and conditions states 'you are acting as the importer'.

Usual giveaways are lines to state camera's aren't subject to cash back offers.

Hello and Goodbye

Recently joined and more recently left (in the 28 day trial period). Thought i'd try Virgin as Openreach can't be bothered to upgrade my cab to fibre. Found the buffering worse than my 5mb ADSL connection (which I kept running). Switched back and ripped all the cable/boxs out.

Handy now I have around 15 metres of green trunking!

'Sadly, iOS 8 doesn't seem to have had the same aphrodisiac effect'

Or maybe the recent negative press about dodgy updates has made people wait.

Still nearly 50% is decent compared to other platforms.

'The new Macbooks are pretty much the same price, shape and with the same ports.'

Same shape, check

Same ports, check

Cheaper (in the UK - though you are too lazy to check and just rely on the US prices)

More standard Ram

Edited from my original post which Jasper obviously didn't like

Not a bad idea......

But wondering if they'll have repair facilities located in the stores? That's one area where Apple score well (assuming you have an Apple store near you).

More electronic retailers are welcomed on the high street as we've not got many left now. Chances are I'll still shop at John Lewis.

Fuck off normally works for me

Confused

People are surprised the latest phone is outselling last years phone, but in a different case?

I'm surprised the ratio is only 2:1

Form?

"Kuo has form on Apple predictions, having forecast the arrival of a Retina iMac this year and the demise of the 17" iMac "

I think you're getting your Macs confused.

Lovely Low Quality

It's not looking good is it? In the West Midlands the regional Multiplex has recently ceased transmission, shunting more stations on to the local multiplex and some local stations dropping from 128K to 112k (Free Bham - formally BRMB).

Looks as if the quantity over quality brigade are running the show. Only station available over 128k is now Radio 3 (Classic used to be 160k).

DAB+ might help, but with millions sold the DAB quality lie it might be some time before old sets are replaced.

I managed to update my 4S and iPad Mini after a few messages stating that the update was unavailable. Can't complain as several million 800mb updates is going to cause a blockage somewhere.

I always thought that Starfox was renamed in europe because of the spectrum/c64/amstrad game with the same name (published by Ariolasoft)

Not sure what the big issue is to be honest, I just applied for 12 months 0% interest on a lens, I had to submit a copy of my passport (or photo driving license)

Maybe the credit score for the person in question didn't quite meet up with the criteria for an outright pass and required additional ID.

If your buying today it's a handy, but small discount. What's the problem?

So what will happen to the playbook share once the stock inventory is cleared after the fire sale.
