Hopefully ios 8.1.1 fix the lag in 6 plus. Does 6 plus lag before 8.1 released? Just curious
*
Yes it lag n stutter on 8.01,8.02 but much improved in 8.1. It is no longer buttery smooth even on 8.1

I dont think iOS is buttery smooth now , the iPad mini retina i need to shut off the animation to make it " feel " smooth.
No idea iPhone 6+ as i yet to receive mine, ETA next week. No idea will it survive to be my primary phone or not  unsure.gif .

I try to use the ip6+ as my main phone. It lasted only 3+ weeks n is now relegated back as secondary phone. Its poorer functionality vs Android just turns me off. Now my main phone is Note4.

Based on all I've read in various forums, I would be willing now to consider the 6 over the 6 Plus, but if the battery life is in iPhone 5 category then I would really, really regret it, haha...

Ip6+ has INSANELY great battery life. Battery usage till 5% consistently 11-12 hours easily double that of Androids. Only Android that can match it is Huawei Mediapad X1 but that comes with 5000mah battery size

Does anyone have a problem with the 6+ battery life? Especially those running ForceGoodFit, Virtual Home and CC Settings. My battery life is consistently bad.

I am using ip6+ n JB too with those apps ( except forcefit) n I don't see any decrease in battery life. I still see usage at 11-12 hours with 5% battery left. I consider this as good already

Guys, is the battery life really that long lasting? Has anyone kept track of it?

My usage time on my ip6+ is at least 11-12 hours on mainly internet based stuffs ( mainly on 3g/lte)
This battery life is the only aspect of the phone that impresses me

The problem is often we charge overnight. It's not a good idea but sometimes cannot help it.

If you had this habit just plug in a timer adapter to cut off current flow after say 3-4 hours

Guys,

Any bugs you guys found with your iPhone 6 plus? (using 6+ so wouldn't know if 6 users are facing these stuff)

Previous versions of iPhones just simply, work. This irks me off like a incessant bug flying across your eyes.

There are a few bugs that are really turning me off. Things such as below:
1. Screen rotation. Sometimes when I unlock my phone, I'll get my screen rotated. No issues here, just turn it upright and it'll align, right? Nope. Sometimes it just won't. Especially if an app is open (Whatsapp). It'll stay rotated even though your phone is upright. I'll need to relock my phone and unlock it again for the problem to correct itself.

2. WiFi signal. It's really hard to latch back to WiFi once you lock the phone, and unlock it after awhile. You gotta go back in Settings > WiFi and stare at the screen realllll hard before the WiFi is reconnected. With other iPhones the wait is just shorter.

3. Jerky Scrolling. The scrolling will be jerky once in awhile. Happens when I scroll a long list ultra slow.

4. BSOD. Occurred to me once two weeks into using 6+. I didnt even know BSOD exists for Apple. LOL. And several times the phone just restarted.

Anyone else facing the same things?
*
Once a while I experience (1) n (3). Others never encountered before
I am using ip6+ on 8.1.1

Yeah, mine is still 8.0. Didn't upgrade it yet as my Maxis broadband internet quota (12GB) is always finishing before the end of the month. And no, no unifi no maxis fibre at my place. Life is hard. biggrin.gif

Hmm. Guess I'll upgrade it. Hopefully the issues go away. iPhones are expected to just work, that's why people pays a premium for it instead of Samsung imho.

Last and not least, BSOD oh my god Apple. I had thought better.
*
My other Note4 is a way much better phone than this ip6+. Samsung had made impressive improvements on the Note4 n till now yet to have any issues with it unlike this ip6+
Only battery life of ip6+ is better than it.

Anyone experiencing Music playback issue in iPhone 6 plus? Some of the songs sound distorted, and sometimes no music while playback. If I switch to other songs and resume back the affected song, the issue will go away...

Do let me know if you have this issue...
*
No such issues on mine. Could be some of your music files are corrupted

Can someone share with me.....as i like the iPhone 6 Plus as much as everyone, it doesnt dethroned the famous Note 4 though. iP6+ indeed a better phone in everyway but in phablet world, it hardly surpass Note 4 just because of one thing.....

Which is the S Pen. Stylus / S Pen is the killer accessory that comes with Note 4 that makes it a useful functioning smartphone. iP6+ has the looks and improved overall performance but since its a phablet, means it should have stylus like pen for drawing and taking note down freely. So does anyone can suggest any 3rd party stylus for 6 plus?
*
I have both Note4 n ip6+
Personally I find Note4 is a way much better phone. The SPen is only additional advantage
Ip6+ adcantages is its greater battery life n slight better audio quality n sunlight viewing
As a business orientated phone ip6+ fail big time
I had tried using the ip6+ as main phone for more than 3 weeks but it just dissapoint me vs Note4. So it is now my secondary phone
Gaming is probably better in ip6 but I don't play games on my phones except Scrabble

Not the app. The site itself. Tried on my 6+, my friend's 6+ and another friend's ipad mini 2. All crashed and auto-restart the phone/tablet.

No such issues on mine. I use Mercury browser n I access the site regularly.

Very true. I find battery life on ip6+ is the best amongst all the smartphones I had used to date. It is about double that of most high end Androids. This is the only feature of ip6 that impresses me.

ios8.1 on the ip6 needs more work and refinement - we just hope Apple will provide better updates to their firmware to address these and several other issues too
