So what are people thoughts then having had most the weekend?

Coming from an iPhone X to an iPhone 11 this is where I’m at:
Screen is just as good as an OLED - cant see any difference personally
The camera is honestly something else and looks so much better than the X, also I don’t feel that you notice the difference as much during the keynote as you do when you’ve taken them yourself
Sound is brilliant
Loving iOS 13
Taking some getting used to not having 3D touch

Only downside I’m having right now is if the 11 is just too big and heavy for my liking, the size of the X seemed perfect for me and thats the only thing I’m debating with myself currently
 
I’m used to pressing down on a link in a webpage and opening in a new tab. How do I do it on iPhone 11?

My thoughts on the iPhone 11:

The bezels (visually at least) are becoming less of an issue having spent some time with it. However the fact that they're there makes the phone much wider than it ought to be, making one handed use still pretty awkward. However going to switch up the case to see if it helps as I find the ESR Yippee I have quite slippy.
Happy enough with the screen resolution but I have to admit I am missing OLED blacks and the contrast ratio, while at the same time considering the money I'm saving.
 
Has anyone returned a case to John Lewis that has been opened?

I'm thinking of returning my Apple Clear Case as I also bought the silicon which I prefer.
 
Took possession of my 11PM yesterday and set it up last night. Phone setup went fine but moving my S4 Watch was a disaster! Somehow the passcode got corrupted during the process so I was locked out of my device!

Managed to recover the situation after about an hour of researching - a force press on the screen gave me the option to do a factory reset on the Watch, which allowed me back in. Just need to get my data plan fixed as it became unassociated during the failed update.

The 11 Pro Max is definitely a heavy beast! I will have a muscular pinky from supporting it’s weight before I have finished with it! My wife has decided that the non-Max phone is the one for her, so we’ll be ordering that in the next few days. She is an avid photographer who can’t be bothered to carry specialised camera gear around, so having an excellent one on her phone is important to her.

I have to say the swipe-style keyboard is fantastic! Takes a bit of getting used to but very quick and helpful at avoiding dropping the phone because you can keep a better hold on the device on use. The one handed keyboard is also an interesting feature which I might make more use of on future. It was introduced with the early Plus phones but I don’t think many people are aware it exists.

One handed keyboard has been around for a while on all models -introduced on iOS 11 i think?

holding the emoji button activates it

Is anyone else finding the lock button slightly less 'clicky' on the 11 Pro? I'm coming from an X, so not sure what the XS was like.

It doesn't feel bad as such, just different.

Might also be my case - I had a silicone on my X, but gone for leather on the 11 Pro.
 
Me again. I’m still stalking the thread.
If anyone’s still needing to cash in their old phones I recommend carphone warehouse. I just did it in store and for the best price I could find.
£595 for a XS max 64gb. Money into a debit card which will show up in a few days.

Now back to Apple to pick up the wife’s series 5. I’m not jealous at all…

I’m more surprised Apple gave you £290 for your iPhone X 😮. I’m sure when I select the trade in option for an iPhone XS, they offer less than that......

Really? Apple’s trade in prices are pretty bad compared to the rest of the traders. Your XS is worth up to £390 according to the Apple Store app.

The camera is outstanding...certainly the most complete camera on the market to date.

for some reason though my mercedes won’t let me play music through the car via bluetooth..don’t know if this is an IOS 13 issue.

If you set it up as new, make sure mobile data music streaming is enabled in settings. Caught me out the first time I got in my car too.

Only thing off was high quailty streaming...dunno if thats why?

I’d set up as new so streaming was off. Apple Music in the car wouldn’t stream.

Once I enabled it’s all fine. It’s paired fine and working as usual. The phone works over Bluetooth too, had to enable contact sharing in the Bluetooth settings for my f-pace though

I managed to get phone calls to work fine but music it says it’s connected and it was no longer playing on my phone but on MB Bluetooth but no sound was coming from the car...

My wife set up her S10 and music worked fine...so i thought it might have been an IOS 13 issue as my Xs max worked fine.
