What will the price of the 6s Plus with 64GB be in Ireland?

Looking like the guts of a grand on the French site....really?

around €899

Prices have gone up due to the strong dollar, so probably €969 as per the French site.

eeloe

Yep €959 is a more realistic price, we have a higher rate of VAT than the French....

I remember when I bought the iPhone 4, there was an 8GB, 16GB and 32GB model. I went with the top storage model and at the time that was €699. Crazy how different the prices have gotten. Entry level 6s seems to be more expensive than the previous top capacity model now.

€959 does seem a bit crazy for a 64gb 5.5inch phone.

Poorly researched article.

Do we know the screen resolution and memory of the 6+ and 6s+. Have they gone 2k with 2gb ram I wonder ?

It looks like 2Gb ram.

Also read something about double strength ionised glass. Never had an issue with the glass on the 6 personally

It's the same price as the Sony Z5 premium, if your spending that kind of money it'd be very hard to justify the apple over the Sony, it beats it on so many features that matter.

Doesn't make sense why they don't, I'd put it down to marketing rather than any fault of their flagship phones.
Imagine what Apple would change for a 4k, 232gb, waterproof phone with HD audio and a battery capable of a week or more.

they're not waterproof...as it turns out Sony has been telling a few mistruths about their phones being waterproof.

bring you up to two days **** battery life

That phone perfectly illustrates the biggest problem for Sony (and Samsung for that matter). In the mobile market they can't compete on low price, they can't compete on ecosystem, they can't compete on the O/S. All they can do is keep adding hardware features.

Not only are you unable to interpret your opinion from a fact you're now putting words into my mouth? You got all that from three words. Good job.

If iPhones were cars, the 6s+ would be a VW Golf and the 6 would be a Ford focus.

An M3 is miles ahead of both, but bmw have the car market sussed, I'll bow out now.

It's hard to believe adults still come on here to argue about phones. Do they see the comic book guy staring back when they look in the mirror?

eeloe

Why must people come in to the apple section of a forum, full of "apple fanboys" and big up sony/samsung gear?

It's like going to a VW car meet in a Civic and trying to argue why the Civic is better.....

Go back to the android section and snigger at us where we can't see you...

I currently have a 5s so reckon I'll upgrade this time round (I seem to a 'S' buyer - every 2 years I get my fix :P). Really liking the look of the camera upgrades (crisper, increased resolution, etc.); very appealing to me as I rarely travel abroad with my DSLR but always want to shoot good quality photographs nonetheless.

Here's a great hands-on demo by Marques Brownlee

Around this time every year there's usually a few isolated outbreaks of mass-techno-penis-envy. Those afflicted have an uncontrollable urge to flop down their SamSonDroid at the mere mention of anything Apple related. Extreme cases follow up by running around thrusting their SamSunDroid under peoples noses while shouting 'look, more megahertz'. A handful of acute cases will go as far as seeking out Apple related gatherings to perform this bizarre ritual.

Medical research continues to try and find an underlying cause while psychologists investigate what would cause such overt efforts to self-validate sufferers own choices.

I don't think there's even any mods around here to stop all that sh*t, despite it being specifically prohibited in teh charter. Same old crap twice or three times a year, and usually the same people.

That's the problem I don't think for one second that they are adults. Anyway back on topic I reserved one this morning for pick up but I have chosen the PM route.

Yeah both sides come across as quite childish alright. But anyway back on topic, ah nice, what did you go for?

The more I see these live pictures, the more I want that camera, be interested to see the reviews to see camera results.

The more I taught about the PM route it saves me so much hassle all for a small fee hopefully I get it on the Saturday I ordered it quite late compared to others.
