iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

[PostmanPot]

Damn it man, get the 6!! Have you checked it out instore yet?

Not yet, it's on the list though. I'm just so used to one handed typing, my WPM is impressive and I'd hate to sacrifice that. I've struggled with the S3/S4 in the past, and while the iPhone 6 is slightly smaller, it's a concern.

By the way, have you ever used iOS 8 Dictation? Amazing.

Arghhh!!!! Good luck. Or I'll sell you mine when a <4.7" iPhone 7 comes out

Deal!

Dude, you need to test drive the 6!

Yes, I have used the iOS 8 dictation and it is incredibly accurate! Love the way it types as you talking!!! Having said that it's a feature this old school bullet battles to come to terms with. I find it unnatural to be talking to my phone if not actually on a call...

Please, you're still a spring chicken.

I've been out the country for a few weeks now, but before I left TM were doing a 64gb 5S for R399 a month on Smart 100. That's R9,600 which I suspect is cheaper than iStore up front and cheaper than FNB et al on terms, and with a bonus of 1gb a month etc chucked in too.

FNB had the 64GB on special at R349, seems to be finished now...

Yes.

I tried desperately to get one.

A friend got one . I bought my 5S last week on Carbonite... Spend some time there and I'm sure you'll find one . I think there might actually be one in the classifieds section of MyBB?

Found one on Carb this morning, awaiting bank details.

Can anyone recommend a nice case/cover for the 6 Plus?

What about puregear? Got this from Vodacom and very happy with it.
Has a slight elevated edge so screen can't be in direct contact when upside down on flat surface

I have the apple leather case. Very nice! Also not slippery in hand. Bought mine through Orange shop, but saw some in the Centurion iStore on Sunday.

You didn't see if they stock the official Apple silicone cases by any chance?

Nope sorry, but if the iPhone 6 silicone case is anything like the iPhone 5c silicone case, I think the leather is nicer since it doesn't attract that much fluff in your pockets.

 

[LizGroen]

I hear what you say - the silicone colours just seem nicer than the leather cases...

The tan/dark brown is very nice "in the skin", I have the black.

I may have to go that route - I was so keen to get the gold, but now that I've received it there doesn't seem to be much available that does justice to the phone. I've been using a clear gel case on my 5S gold to display the colour, but it tends to look cheap and tacky quickly. I have been looking out for the leather cases but could never find - I will certainly make use of the Orange shop if I can't walk into a shop and pick a colour soon - thanks for sharing!
