    Is the BMW bluetooth issue resolved with the latest patch of IOS ?

    It has worked perfectly on my E60 since the 6 was released. What was your issue?

    Is the loose screen on the 6 a common issue ?

    2 phones in our house. Both fine. I've heard about it though, only on the Internet.

    Currently having a problem with the Facebook app on my iPhone 6 plus. When I post something onto Facebook it normal always would automatically post the location "near XXXXXXXX" on the post. Now since I've switched from iPhone 4s to the 6 this has happened. I checked my location setting and facebook is set to use location and the share my location is also enabled. I tried deleting the app and re-installing it and changing the location setting on and off and still not posting the location. Any help on this would be appreciated.

    Not having go at you Flaccus but I don't get these videos.

    Millions of iPhones sold and sometimes things go wrong with manufacturing but does not mean it's a bad product or common place throughout the whole product line.

    Apple would replace something like that straight away.

    That's good to know as I am thinking of moving from android and considering the 6. The last premium phone I had was a HTC One m8 and that had the loose volume rocker and a camera cover which scratched. A lot of people had this issue. I'm sure iphones have their own issues which crop up, like the clicking screen. I posted on here to see how common it it.

    Can anyone recommend a good quality iPhone 6+ case that doesn't make the phone bulky.

    The genuine Apple leather one fits great, as you would expect, and adds very little to the phone.

    Got the 128 GB iPhone 6 yesterday.

    I thought the protruding camera and antenna lines would bother me, but they're a non-issue.

    The phone is nice, but the iOS 8 bugs are really annoying. So many things don't work properly. And I cannot figure out how to get the iCloud Drive to work. I've copied books there but they aren't appearing in iBooks.

    The phone is slightly too large for my hand (I have to shuffle a bit sometimes) - I never had this problem with the 4S. And I do feel like my chances of dropping this phone are much higher (due to it not really fitting in the hand snugly), but I hope I get used to it.

    Battery life seems to be roughly the same as the 4S.

    I know discussion on this has died down but has anyone noticed their 6 bending slightly?

    I was cleaning the case there and when I left the phone down with out the case on the table I noticed it wasn't sitting flush to the table and was able to "rock" back and forth. Looking side on it does appear to have bent slightly :(?

    The camera protrudes...

    Screen down or leaving a ruler across one side its not flush with the phone

    Its slight and not like a lot of the pics online but it does appear to be slightly bent and confirmed by a second set of eyes here at work.

    If its gets no worse its not that much of a deal but if it bends more it will become quite noticeable.

    I think once again this product was over-hyped like a lot of Apple products. None of there devices are value for money in my opinion and they ain't even close . I wonder were the price of €999 for the 128gb iPhone 6+ came from. I do like Apple but am always left staggered by there prices.

    Exactly. And what do you get for your money?

    iPhone - Sapphire covered Touch ID button

    S5 - imitation Touch ID button that is universally derided

    iPhone - iOS 8

    S5 - touch wiz that is universally derided

    iPhone - metal body

    S5 - plastic body which is universally derided…

    You can see where I'm going here. Compared to the 5S the new iPhone are practically a steal. Plus, your iPhone will hold its value the 5S? Not so much.

    It was a price comparison.

    I understand that but that's how it spirals out of control.

    Noticing my home button to be a slight bit loose now after just over a week having the phone.

    In what way? I've had my 6 for over a month now. Just lightly thumbed it in all directions and there's no movement.

    It's intermittent but sometimes you go to press it and you feel like it's moving ever so slightly. Had it with the 5s too and they replaced it no problem. It's a minor thing but something I notice a lot since before.

    Why? Production can't keep up with demand, so if anything they're underpriced.
