I liked that
Well it makes a huge difference what phone you have. Try the latest iOS on an iPhone4, it's quite painful. You need a reasonable phone (doesn't need to be expensive) and to clear away stuff you don't need, streamline it etc. You can also put a custom launcher on it, like Nova, so you don't have annoying bloatware from the phone brand etc.
Please, don't buy 99p cables and chargers, for any phone - they can kill you.
You can also buy tyres and brakes for your car from Ebay (and others) at much lower prices than from OEMs, but it's a gamble that not too many people take.
Sadly, people do not seem to understand the risk that saving a few pounds with phone chargers brings....

A bit disappointed that the 8 isn't much of a step-up from the 7.
Been upgrading every year and will do so with the X, got a few neats bits to it, even though i'm sure its the beta version in reality. Most appealing to me is the plus sized screen in the regular sized body (or there abouts). LOVE my plus screen but i'll take that!

No, not me. Still runnnig a >6 year old iMac. Agree with [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], the apple service support has been superb. They have taken any issue I have raised via phone and helped, some of which have taken lots time.
After the disappointment of the iPhone X announcement I went and bought myself a galaxy s8 for the measly sum of £450.
Great features.... Full edge to edge front screen, OLED display (been around a couple of years on Samsung), no home button, facial and iris login, wireless charging, 12mp camera, frustratingly no dancing emojis though....

Bit of a show stopper for some people.

I understand your concern, but charging cables in my experience are exactly the same as Apple cables and quite rightly are only 99p. Much like you can now buy them in Poundland too.

The part about "overnight" charging is very interesting. I am guessing a lot of people in general do this without realising the hazards

Like all technology, I'm a few years behind everyone else. I can't justify spending loads on the latest of anything. I'm pretty excited to be upgrading to a Commodore 64 soon though!

"too expensive" she told me as I was about to upgrade her 128gb 7 on apple upgrade programme. Think she has a point.

I also just got the 8 plus, don't actually like the design of the X, nor the face scan thing. First-gen technology is always tempremental anyway.
Also managed to get a fantastic deal on it that was cheaper than a lot of deals around for the 7 plus
I upgraded from the 3 year old iphone 6.

I’m not changing this year. Seems little point going from the 7 Plus to the 8 Plus and I just can’t justify the £1149 for the 256gb X.
64gb is too small for me and they don’t make a 128gb.

I've had bad experiences whenever I've moved away from Apple charging cables - for whatever reason, it's always killed my battery life within days of using the alternative cable.
