Does anyone install the EZ Ringtone Cydia tweak here? I can install the tone but how do I delete the ringtone?

The only difference between the two is that the iPhone 6 Plus features optical image stabilization (OIS) while its smaller counterpart does not. Personally i dont see much difference though.

Ya I agreed with TOMEI, many reviews also stated there is not much difference between 6 and 6+ camera. The real difference is the screen estate and battery life. Seriously hope the sluggishness in 6+ will be solved soon.

Seriously, I dont find any issues now with the fluidity of the 6+ now with the latest 8.1.2 update. When IOS 8 came out, I agree there was such problems but it seems to have much improved now. For those thinking of buying the 6+, have no qualms and trust me on this.

The 6+ is definitely more sluggish than the 6. It's like using the same graphics card powering full HD vs WHQD resolutions. I don't think they can produce the same fps unless it's a very powerful graphics processor which isn't the case on the A8 chip.

So, from the forumers POV, they would suggest 6 rather than 6+

From my POV, I'm using iPhone 5S , it is still worth getting it, but if you want more juice (battery) go for 6 or 6+
thumbup.gif yeah .

Exactly my thoughts. The hard part now is deciding between the two. sweat.gif

QUOTE(attw @ Dec 24 2014, 11:05 PM)
It'll work, just that it might not be an ultra smooth performance as per previous Apple products. But there will be periodic updates to fix those issues. I'm also eyeing a 6 Plus purely for the battery life.

I'm hoping that the patches come soon, as I don't think I can wait much longer. My current phone dies on me at least once a day, and I'm a little worried that the worsening exchange rate will result in price revisions.

QUOTE(G-17 @ Dec 24 2014, 11:37 PM)
Ignoring all the troll/fangirl comments about lag Android lag and whatnot, here's my 2 cents as an Android and iOS user.

I've used the iPhone 4, Iphone 5, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 (2012), Nexus 5, and iPad 2, and am currently waiting for my iPhone 6 (from Australia) to arrive.

From what I've read and tested personally, there is a very slight difference in performance between the 6 and 6+. Some of it is simply perceived performance, simply due to how our eyes need to track the pixel over the 6+'s bigger 5.5" screen vs the 4.7" on the regular 6. Some of it is actual performance difference, which can be due to apps or the OS lacking optimization, or the need to render a lot more pixels. It's not huge, though. One thing I've noticed about Apple is that it's always better to perform big version updates (eg: iOS 7 to iOS 8) updates via iTunes compared to OTA. No idea what the reason is, but a LOT of performance issues after upgrades tend to affect the OTA updated phones more often. It seems Apple haven't quite got their PC-free upgrades spot-on yet, despite promising us that more than 3 years ago.

With regards to the iPhone 5s. I think its still a very decent phone, provided you can deal with the small screen and slightly lower battery life compared to the 6. Usually, the "s" models tend to be better polished, since Apple has had a year to work out the little niggles from the non s models. The 5s still has a great camera (still better than almost any Android phone) and performance wise, isn't that far behind the 6. Remember it's pushing less pixels for the 4" screen, so the slower processor isn't taxed that much for all but the most demanding games.

Regarding the Android lag thing that some twat was talking about in another post, depends on phone. I've mostly owned Nexus devices, and lag is minimal to non-existant on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. Can't say the same for handsets with bloated skins like Samsung's touchwizz which will be janky even if you have a liquid-cooled 64 core phone, me thinks.

It's always a gamble future-proofing mobile systems. We never know what sort of optimizations or bugs the next version of iOS will bring. Apple might have learned some lessons and double-downed on stability (I personally never like Steve Jobs' Apple) for the next iOS, or they might be influenced too much by that crap headphone company they bought and produce something totally bloated and useless. Same story with Android - sometimes they take one step forwards and two steps back.

Thanks for the detailed response. I think I'll go down to the nearest store and play with both the 6 and 6+ again before I make my decision.

I think only those who have used both or own both can really tell whether the Iphone 6+ is much more sluggish than the 6. whistling.gif

Trust me, I've owned and used both 6 and 6+, there's really a difference biggrin.gif Although it's minor and not a life/death matter but you can definitely feel it at times. Not to mention I own all sorts of different Apple products from iPad 3, Air, Mini, MacBook and all those iFag stuffs laugh.gif

If you want a big screen and good battery life, go for the 6+. I guess that's the only reason.

At first my main concern was battery life, but after checking out the battery test results at gsmarena, I think both models should easily outlast my current one (54h vs 61h & 79h).

Anyhow, I'll update here once I've made my purchase. Barring any complications, I should be buying it through the Apple online store.

Don't think you can block No Called ID on stock iOS. But I read iBlacklist ($12) can do that, but you need to jailbreak first.

Moving from 6 to 6+, there's indeed a slight sluggish. It's also very easy to test and reproduce the problem. It's not something that's very serious but just that you can't expect it to be as fluid as the 6 smile.gif what I've done was jailbreak the phone, turn off some unused services (daemons) using iCleaner Pro and it's much better now.

Go check it out on youtube bro haha. I think the erica griffin did a nice comparison between the 6 and 6 plus. In one of her videos she showed very clearly where you could easily see the 'sluggish-ness' of the 6 plus when performing various actions tongue.gif

Seriously guys. Comparing min sluggishness that u might only notice if actively hunting for it, vs 1.8x battery life and full hd real estate? The first can be minimized by closing background apps when not using, while bigger eye friendly full had screen and longer battery cannot be resolved without help of external hardware.
If u have not used Samsung b with all its bloat ware b4, u dunno what sluggish really means. I know coz I upgraded from s4.

Go figure...

I think it's fine because everyone has different priorities and likings. Some people might not mind the sluggishness, some would smile.gif The thread is about sharing experiences so I think it's alright to discuss what people are concerned about. On the other hand, Samsung vs Apple is another comparison altogether so let's not getting mixed up with 6 and 6+ comparison.
