Yeah I'm another one who has been put off by the recent changes. I currently own an iPhone 5S and have no intention of upgrading for the foreseeable future.
(plus that price is ridiculous and not one I could justify with a perfectly working phone) |

These prices are way too high for me to even consider at the moment lmaooo, I'm perfectly happy with my 7 (minus the headphone jack obviously, why was that ever thought of as a good idea
 and I kinda have to be happy because with my budget I won't be affording new phones anytime soon ;o) QUOTE(Brébino @ Sep 14 2017, 11:58 PM)  I'm gonna hold out on upgrading from my 6 for as long as that's feasible for the same reason. I still don't get how removing the headphone jack was supposed to be a good idea. I see the iPhone X is removing the home button as well - I swear they're just trying to make the phone more and more awkward and restrictive every generation now. :/ Omg I saw that, yeah it's hardly like anyone was crying out for the home button to go

I've not been put off by the changes, I personally just can't justify the expenditure right now. It was new iPhone or a new iPad and the iPad won out as it looks like I might be travelling a lil more for work potentially.
When I get my promotion I'll be all over the 2018 iPhones. |

QUOTE(Oliver @ Sep 14 2017, 11:53 PM) I know it's never coming back but I'm not upgrading further than the 6s until they allow the charging of the phone whilst listening through headphones without having to pay extra for an adaptor. The 8 & X both wirelessly charge so you can use the lightning port for headphones. Plus our new start at work ordered the 7+ as their work phone and got the EarPods with them. So maybe the new iPhones will ship with them too? |

As far as I've seen they don't come with a wireless charger so it's still something that needs to be paid extra for, which when you're already paying £1000 for a phone is just a kick in the teeth. If they come with the wireless headphones that's not so bad but from the "in the box" list I've seen the 8 and X just seem to have the basic things (wired headphones, USB charger etc). |

That's poor show. I'd have expected it to ship with more than a couple of cables at that price. Especially given that the FX rate used by Apple is $1=£1 and like 50% of the price is profit.

iPhone with iOS 11
EarPods with Lightning Connector Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter Lightning to USB Cable USB Power Adapter Documentation The exact same "in the box" for both new phones (apart from the OBVIOUS difference ).

Apple users be warned that before you upgrade to iOS 11 today, you may lose the ability to use some of your apps which haven't been updated to be compatible with the new OS. I think the update is due to be available for download later today.
Just make sure you check if you can use some of your favourite apps before you update your software as there's no going back to iOS 10 after that.  This post has been edited by ⓐⓦⓐⓡⓓⓘⓝⓐⓡⓨ: 19th September 2017, 02:59 PM |

The only app that won't work with 11 for me is CloudScrob (which also happens to be one of the rare apps I paid for lol, yes gift cards count) not that I really scrob any more although I think last.fm still updates when I sync my iTunes/iPhone plays.

I really want to get an iPhone X but it is substantially more than I was expecting it to be and I'd probably want the 256 version if I was going to bother.

Deciding to get the i8 (because Apple stuff is already overpriced and the X takes the piss, also there's no gold X) but I'll give it a few months or so when they might get a slight reduction, I usually go for refurbished models but I feel like treating myself and getting it new. Besides I have several old ipods etc. I can sell and will end up cumulating over half the phone's price already so may as well

All seems fine, it does feel like a slightly different experience than before though. I think overall it does improve the user interface and makes things simpler and faster too.
