![]() I am currently using an iPhone 5S bought in the US. Otherwise flawless but no LTE. . So I was a bit wary of repeating the same mistake again. Quote:
- I agree, apart from the 16GB thing that Apple uses to milk its customers, other compliants are liveable with! - You can switch off auto-download of updates, btw. Its there somewhere in the settings. - Keyboards: Apple should bring in swipe capability -- that should complete the missing elements of the keyboard featureset.

You can now install any keyboard and use it. IIRC swipe keyboard is there on the app store for free. |

Nice write-up and shows different perspectives and wants of users. I have been using iOs for around 4 years. Due to unavoidable circumstances, have been using a friend's Samsung S3 for last 6 days,since I had to give my iPhone to my Dad, who damaged his iphone . Thoroughly frustrated with the Android OS and the complexities it throws at you, out of the box. I had to search online to find out how to disable alerts for emails. I have consumed my data limit in 3 days, due to constant app updates. Many other minor quirks, that made me appreciate iOS. Finally on Saturday, ordered the 6S from Flipkart,since I can no longer continue to be pained. All in all, different strokes for different folks. ![]() Last edited by riteshritesh : 1st February 2016 at 15:06. | |

| ![]() Anyone here who has bought the iPhone from Dubai recently? Was planning a trip to Dubai in the last week of March. Also received a call from Croma yesterday that the iPhone 6s 64gb price has further reduced to 61,999 effective 1st February. If the price variation isn't huge, i would prefer buying it from here itself. |

From my days of hunting for deals, I found out the following. Silver is the most expensive everywhere. Gray & Gold are priced 2nd and Rose Gold is the cheapest. Amazon has it for 59000 odd. Try PAYTM who seem to having a cashback of Rs 4500 ( in paytm money). I would suggest to wait till around Valentine's day for discounts and deals to reappear. A friend got his 6s 64 GB silver on paytm for 51000 ( 61000 less 10000 cashback) around the 26 Jan deal time. | |

| ![]() Bought mine when Apple Store was launched at MOE. Paid AED 3000 for 128 gigs, and exchanged an old 4S in terrific condition. Quote:

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I have been experiencing this "4G" since the last 15 days. I was even surprised to see the speeds that I clocked. The Speedtest app recorded a download speed of 19.3Mbps and upload of 11Mbps. Never expected such speeds on my mobile. |

Yes, The customer service centre will give you a replacement sim that can be used as either a complete sim, micro or nano sim. Instructions to transfer your current number to the sim will be provided along with the pack. It is free of charge. |
