Daily Mail reader are you, Bimbler? That fits in well with their regular scare features on using wifi, sleeping with a phone charging by the bed, having [i]any[/i] electric device like alarm clocks in the bedroom, and a whole host of other items of dubious provenance.

One thing I tried out on Sunday was the slo-mo video function. Shot fifteen seconds of water rushing over a small sluice, then played with the sliders to have a slow motion section in the middle, and it worked beautifully, really smooth transition and very impressive slo-mo. Not got a YouTube account to upload to, I might see if I can sort a link to Fb.

Yeah, that works.

Oddly personal diatribe there. Just thought it worthwhile pointing out that the iPhone 6 plus produces 500% more radiation to the head than the Note 4 and in "simultaneous transmission" produces 1.59w/kg, the (US?) legal limit is 1.6w/kg

shame that article is from a manufacturer of radiation shield cases....

and if its under the legal limit, whats the problem? one would assume the legal limit is well inside the safe limit?

Calm down, he's only pointing out an article. Ignore as you see fit.

Calling him a Daily Mail reader because he links in with that article which he feels is relevant (but which dares to say words against the holy Steve Jobs) seems to be a bit strong.

So in the US it's legal? What's your point caller?
Is it illegal in any way shape or form in any country.
The Range Rover V8 produces more gassed than a Prius but both get you from a to b.
It's great putting lots of numbers that any normal person understands to try and scare with facts. Unfortunately in your case all your facts are within legal limits.

Something I discovered recently on my iPhone6+ is that the volume buttons are the shutter release in camera mode. So you don't need to poke the screen button to take a pic.

This is probably a feature that has been on all iPhones for ages. But I was pleased to discover it.

Yep, since ios6 I think! Agree it's good.

Don't get all the comments about needing a case, I don't find my 6 slippery in the least, certainly not dropped it.

@annebr, I didn't know that ! Just tried it at work of course 😳

@njee, I found my 6 too thin without a case. I never used a case with my 4 and 4S

Not made a call on mine yet, people use their phones to speak to people?? Weird...

I wish you could change the function on the little volume buttons while playing music, never adjust my volume but it'd be ace to be able to skip tracks using them.

If you push and hold the volume button to take pics you also get burst mode, been around some time now. The burst speed varies dependent on model of phone.

If you're going from Android to Apple it's very easy. Your contacts will sync straight away, download the apps for Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs etc and you'll be up and running in no time.

The advice I'd give if you get an iPhone is to use all the Google stuff for contacts etc rather than the Apple stuff. This makes it very easy to swap back to Android next time you need a phone, or just as easy if you swap iPhones.

There are a couple of things that Apple do well if you have other Apple devices, the ability to send texts from you Mac for example. There are a few minus points as well, apps that are free on Android often need to be purchased for example.

Having had both iPhones and Androids and being the owner of a Macbook and iPad, I prefer to use an Android phone, mainly because I can't tinker around with a iPhone.

The thing that really, really annoys me with IOS is the app icons can't be positioned in the same way as Android. Nexus for me every time.
