It may not be the most advanced or spectacular but its usability is second to none. Until you have one you don't realise how user friendly are. There isn't even that much I can put my finger on for this. It's simply a good phone for a phone with decent enough mp3, camera etc.

Tbh for all the benefits of a G5 etc. do you really need 128gb or 20megapixels for a mobile phone.....
Considering the amount of software updates you definitely do need a large memory.

I've had the phone for 2 years and I've probably taken about 100gb worth of photos and videos. Everything is HD and shit now so it eats through memory. Take into account decent apps can easily be 1-2gb as well.

Memory is ridiculously cheap these days and it's ridiculous that Apple charges so much for it.

6s is too big for me, its pretty much a tablet.  6 is a perfect size.

They need the 6s screen in a smaller phone. Far too much wastage. Mine is the same size screen but like an inch shorter. When you get over 5 inches you don't really need a tablet. Thought the 6 was too wee for browsing.

Ken what I liked, the S6 curve or whatever it was.

Completely pointless but thought it looked pretty cool Laugh

Its obviously a personal thing but i've got a 16gb and more than does my need but then again I don't have 5000 songs to pretend I'm a music buff, 15,000 pictures of the LADS or shit. Gets charged in the car on the way to and from work and normally keeps it charged. If I am out and about its used for sat nav and streaming in car. Got about 150 songs on it, maybe a few hundred photos and a couple of tv shows along with about 10 apps.

Obviously if you want your phone to be some sort of super camera and mp3 player you probably need to spend a fortune and upgrade annually.

Bit personal, mate. Morphs one of my good friends so I'd rather you weren't slagging him off like that.

That was an astonishingly personal attack. No need Prancer. Ruining the good debating character of the THF as a whole. Disappointed.

I love rants like this when you try put someone down but just come across as an old git. No one downloads songs any more mate.

Maybe you youngsters with your tight fitting trousers, leather jackets and greaser haircuts use Spotify to stream your Buddy Holly, but I still download stuff for my iPod classic so I can listen to good old Glenn Miller in the car. Sad

I've got an 128gb iPhone 6, bought a few weeks after launch, traded in my 4s so got it for £620. By doing that and the 3 sim (let's not talk about that again) I'm paying about 38 pound a month for it.

Wife just got a new phone recently and I convinced her to go for the S6, it was over £200 cheaper and seems pretty decent as well.

I've always had iPhones and have spent enough on apps that I'm reluctant to change (though I might). Having now seen an android phone they're impressive, especially in terms of flexibility. Definitely some things that annoy me though, the S6 doesn't scroll as well and other bits of the software don't seem as well refined.

I'm sure I'd get used to it though.

TL;DR people that are overly precious about their particular phone are pretty sad. They've both got good points and will suit different people.

Leather jackets are sooo 2010. Didn't expect any less from your my man. Why don't you have your music on your iPhone? iPod seems a bit redundant.

The one thing I couldn't handle with the 6, and I'm pretty sure it's what made me sell it, is the lack of LED notification. I imagine if you've always had an iPhone you wouldn't know the difference, but I've had that wee blinking light on every phone I've had - no idea how folk can live without it.

The bit was supposed to indicate that I was way more out of touch than 2010 Laugh

Pretty much storage and convenience, to answer your question. The Classic is one of the best things I've ever bought tbh. The storage is massive so, without dealing with any hassle or expense with streaming services, external drives or cloud storage or that, I've got a device dedicated just to my music, which leaves my iPhone storage freed up for apps and photos etc. Until about 4/5 years ago, I was mainly buying albums on CD, so having transferred all that over onto my Mac it's all synced up with the iPod and there's no need to do anything with it. Since it links up with my car just as my phone does, it's so easy.

14.

Didn't read this at the time but someones just posted the video on Facebook.

Clearly just another fame hungry girl.  He sent her a message about signing her to his label, after she'd lied about her age, and she's now crying in a press conference.
