My Halifax and Lloyds all worked fine at sending a text to validate mate.
agree regarding the Mail app!! It’s terribly buggy still on 13.1!!
agree regarding the data plan as EE are messing me about currently..
Pro 256 MG from Apple store arrived yesterday. Immediately regretted the colour choice. It looked nothing like the initial photography - But as it vastly depends on the light I give it a go. However when I placed any clear case on, it turned a light greyish colour leaving the lens surround more green. Hole thing doesn’t look ri
Easily reserved a sliver from local Apple Store for collection this morning. By far the easiest reservation ever - not sure what that says - plentiful stock or fewer buyers.

I have tried it. Not very keen on it.Oh Gaad it will definitely take a while to get accustomed to this iOS 13 dark mode 😗. Let there be 💡.Glad you’re all pleased with your new “toys”
No titanium watches anywhere still
Gonna have to wait till the 4th for it to arrive. Better than ordering now and waiting to nov!

Not even in the flagship stores? I saw in USA they seemed to stick them in the flagships
iOS bugs aside, the 11 Pro Max camera system is a huge step up from even the XS Max et al.
With the afternoon off, I went with my wife and son to a local farm to test the 3x lenses out and they're incredible. A few samples below which have had some tweaks to cropping, healing etc in Snapseed:
Ultra-wide
Telephoto
Ultra_wide
Wide
The ultra-wide lens is great fun due to its distortion and ability to get really close to objects/subjects or into tight spaces. Worked really well with the farm animals, literally offering a different perspective. The lens is a little soft at the edges, is prone to lens flare and is not great for shooting people due to its distortion. An excellent addition.
The telephoto is leagues better than before. Lets in more light to be faster when hand held or shoot in darker situations without night mode. Definitely sharper than before, where portrait mode photos tended to look soft even in the eyes and other facial features which iOS is supposed to keep sharp. An excellent upgrade.
Finally, the regular wide lens. The unsung hero because it's simply always been there, but this is probably the most noticeable lens upgrade of the bunch. Much sharper than before, feels like it lets in a little more light than before, and the image stabilisation might even have been upgraded? The owl photo I shot above in full resolution and no compression is pin sharp - I can zoom in and see the detail of each feather!
The system as a whole is great. The dynamic range is superior to before. Smart HDR on the XS and XR family was a big leap but could occasionally look a little unnatural as HDR photography is wont to do. This new generation actually looks like how your eye sees it, especially colour-wise. Need to explore night mode's capabilities, now!

Nope, after the space black. Will keep an eye on things as the week progresses
I ordered SB44 from Apple on Thursday and my estimated delivery was three weeks. Had an email this morning and it has been brought forward to this Friday!
Sorry - just steel; still getting used to the idea that there are two Space Black watches! 😆
The stainless steel space black still looks great! Just keen to see the finish of the titanium up close. Good thing is knowing they’ll be plenty of stock to change to if I checked my mind
I’m having second thoughts 🙈
Particularly tempted by getting the normal pro (non-max) on iPhone payments. Love the XS Max but the size is very very cumbersome. Has anyone gone from XS Max to standard 11 Pro and if so how are you finding the transition in screen size? Had the X before and switched to the Max after having the 7+ previously.

Anyone else keep forgetting there’s now a swipe keyboard in iOS 13!
Just reserved the Midnight Green, to be picked up later from Highcross. Happy days, seems that there’s loads of stock everywhere.
I have - I went from X to XS Max to 11 Pro. I found using the Max increasingly cumbersome as the year went on, and it’s been a great change to go back to a smaller screen! Might be worth playing with one in store to see what you think about the sizing in your hand before making the jump.
And of course the 11 is an in between size if you aren’t sure about going as small as standard Pro and aren’t bothered about telephoto lens/OLED.
I’ve done exactly the same. Feels like a breath of fresh air being that bit smaller with the Pro.
I've been using the Google Keyboard with swipe for a year or so now. I find it a lot easier to use than the Apple one built into iOS 13.
I'm doing 7+ to X to XS Max to 11 Pro as well (though only upgrading next week). The Max is great in some situations like watching Netflix on the Tube, but every time I pick up a 5.8" iPhone I think it's the perfect size. Makes typing and taking photos one handed really easy.
Yeah I've managed to reserve one for collection today so I'm going to the Arndale to see which one I prefer before I make a decision on whether to keep the XS Max or go for the smaller 11 Pro. Don't see any point upgrading to the 11 Pro Max, it's mainly about the size difference and the additional features are a bonus.
11 is a no go for me, I do use the telephoto a fair bit and I love the OLED screen.
Ordered the 11 yesterday from mobiles and it’s out for delivery.
Upgrading from a 6s that is on it’s last legs, so expecting to be wowed.
