No brand new sealed ones.

I have had to do it twice, genuinely I may add.

I'm sure they do the same with Ipad, but its a little dearer.

Well it's nice to see Apple finally catching up

I am surprised it's taken so long for them to realise that the lack of larger screens is hurting their sales, however there's nothing in todays announcement that will both the Android camp much.

Very disappointed in the watch though, I really thought in some way it would be revolutionary however compared to the Moto 360 and LG Watch R it's very disappointing.

Apple caused massive waves in the tech scene when they launched the original iPhone and iPad, today they just caused small ripples!

Superficially the iPhone 6 Plus in its 5.5inch guise with rounded edges looks very much like my 2 year old Samsung Note 2 that's due an upgrade...but the suggested prices are even more expensive than usual:

iPhone 6 - £539 16GB model, £619 64GB model and 128GB model for £699
iPhone 6 Plus - £619 16GB model, £699 64GB model and £789 128GB model.

Given I've an iPhone 4S for work not sure what I fancy next as a possible replacement for the Note?!?

Still the proud owner of a very old Nokia. It,s a phone. End of story.

I have a 4s iphone. It makes calls, takes pics and sends messages. I can't think of any thing I do more with it.

Oh I did use it once as a stand for a piece of paper that had info on it so I could see it better than being flat. Helped wonders.

I didn't see anything in the launch show to tempt me away from Android and its customisability.
And don't get me started on that price tag!

Purely because the business contract (3 iphones, 2 ipads, Mobile 4g thingy jig and a HTC) had moved over from orange to EE.

You do know if you can get a totally knackered one, you can take it to the apple store and they will give you a brand new one for about £120???
Seriously??? Apple will trade in a useless phone? Intriguing

Not wanting to sound like an Apple hater but seriously what can this phone do that my MOTO G does for about £450 less (not including contract)?

BTW my contract costs me £2.50 a month for 300 mins, unlimited texts and 600mb data. Last time I looked at latest apple contracts they were coming in around £30 a month. Spread over a year that's a complete saving of £324 + £450 = £774. I could buy another Rover 75 for that!

£789 for a phone!!!!! My car only cost £11 more than that and it has sat nav. Could someone honestly tell me what they do besides make phone calls and texts? Watch movies? On a screen that small?
No wonder Apple make such huge profits. They are mostly made in sweatshops in the far east but heaven forbid we should question their morals when they are so cool.
I have a macbook pro with the latest Maverick system. I have just reverted it to Snow Leopard as it is useless and very slow. Before you start I bought it on Ebay for £400. At one time I bought mac stuff because they were fully sorted before being released onto the market, unlike PC's. But not any more. I am afraid Steve Jobs took his ethics to the grave.

Just thought I would mention I upgraded to EE from Orange. The 4G network absolutely flies with the iPhone 5s. We'll impressed.
