mykeyb Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Compared to all the moick ups on tech websites and even the Moto360 or LG R watch its not exactly a looker, not very Apple like really. Bigger iPhone had to happen despite their standpoint a few years ago that the original iPhone size was the sweetspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 More shocking news, Apple finally put NFC in their phone but restrict it so that it can only be used with Apple pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 And of course by shocking I meant not shocking at all. Seems weird they won't even let you pair Bluetooth with it, or perhaps they will 'invent' that next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I've decided against getting an Iphone six. Carried on here: http://www.villatalk.com/index.php/topic/3902-android-general-chat/?p=1453188 It's strange to think that I used to get that reaction from Iphones. I also know if I was to go back to one from Android, it'd leave me frustrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just don't make the most of my android but I have found that the iPhone does the basics so much better. It's just a preference I guess, but I will be buying the 6 next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2014 For anyone remotely interested iOS pisses all over android for business use. I'm an iOS defender on this site, I think it gets way too much stick. But I have an iPhone for work and I absolutely hate it. Can't open files on it properly and email on the iphone is terrible. Granted this is probably because we use Google Mail at work and it doesn't marry up too well with an iPhone. But still. I'd trade it in for the most basic of android phones in a second.

As for opening files, I know this used to be a massive issue by I didn't find any on iOS 7 that it couldn't open. What kinda files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for opening files, I know this used to be a massive issue by I didn't find any on iOS 7 that it couldn't open. What kinda files? We don't use gmail on the iPhones. We use the normal mail app. But it doesn't make sense when we use gmail on our PCs. You can't apply the same labels and move to the same folders as you can on googlemail. Excels and PDFs seem to be hit and miss when opening. Sometimes they open, often they don't, or I have to close down the mail app, go back in and try again to make it work. And I've had various occasions where I've been sent a file, and I've forwarded it on to someone else using my iPhone, and it's become corrupted during that process. The person I've sent it to can't open the file or if they can it's just nonsense. Get back to my PC and try the same thing, forwarding the files and it works fine. I'm sure if we all had macs it would be fine. But using it in conjunction with Windows PCs that use GMail doesn't seem to work very well at all.

Eames Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The things that iOS does well, it does very very well. It is simple, (My 4 year old has had the iPad sussed out from about 18 months old) and does what you want it to do at the push of a button. For those who want a beautiful looking premium handset, that does what it is told when it is told to do it, it is great. I don't like the menu layout - lack of customisation, lack of widgets and folders, the fact that NFC is only just available and is locked down so stringently.... the fact that the opportunities to customise the handset is limited to what case I put on it and that fundamentally, everyone's iPhone looks and behaves identically. But what I also know is that if someone offered me an Anroid smartphone in an iPhone 6 or 6 plus body, I would snap their hands off for it.

Stevo985 Posted September 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2014 Apple has always been very good at making their stuff look amazing. That's one thing I'd never take away from them. The iPhone is still one of the best looking phones out there. Even stuff like their laptops too. I bought a laptop yesterday (see other thread) and while I was in the shop I had a look at some macbooks and they are so beautiful. Not enough to justify me dropping a grand on one. But undeniably great looking machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
