Only thing off was high quailty streaming...dunno if thats why?
Shouldn't be - I'd try all the usual troubleshooting (restart etc) and maybe see if your Mercedes software has any updates available too. I also had streaming problems once which was due to a carrier update, which can be checked by going to settings > general > about - You'll get a pop-up if a carrier update is available.

Will have to check to see if there’s any updates. Just seems odd why it doesn’t seem to work
 
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.

Is the iPhone 11 bigger or smaller than an iPhone 8 Plus (I initially found the 8 Plus, huge, but learnt to use it one handed. The only issue I had throughout my time with it was that it was just too big to fit inside a front trouser pocket.

That’s the price which doesn’t include AC+

....that must be the price on the iPhone Payments program then.

Which way are you leaning at the minute keeping this or going for an 11 pro? I know you had mentioned about seeing how you were getting on

Only thing that makes me want the 11 Pro is size, width and weight, but for £25 extra a month not sure I can justify it

Definitely smaller. Here are the respective dimensions.

Currently leaning on keeping this tbh. Hoping I adjust in the coming days

I'm probably being really thick... but how do you take regular photos at night... i.e. choose not to use Night Mode?

(Night mode is AMAZING, just wanna know in case I take a photo in relative dark and don't want it processed that way for any reason).

Thanks!
 
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.
I have mine all boxed up ready for posting .. it was way too slippy.. I’ve kept one, just in case (see what I did there?!), from Amazon that cost £4.19 and isn’t as slippy!
 
Here’s something I found useful:

I get some spam to my business e-mail account. Occasionally the emails and links within them look genuine so on my X I used to do “Copy Link” to confirm its location before visiting. This is true the other way around too. Sometimes the emails are genuine but I want to check the link locations before visiting.

On the 11 without 3D touch, long pressing a link opens it with a “Peek.” In some cases this action will confirm to a spammer that your e-mail address is active and invites more spam.

In order to turn off the Peek behaviour, long press on any link and choose “Hide Link Previews.”

You can drag the slider which changes the exposure time below the shutter button to ‘Off’ when Night Mode is active, no? Don’t have an 11 yet, just going off what I’ve seen in reviews.

After having to delay my phone because I’m not home until tomorrow, shocking, first time I’ve not been there for launch day, wife’s fault.
I’ve just got my confirmation and tracking number for tomorrow.

Not a moment too soon, it’s been awfy living with the wife’s old iPhone 7 the past few days. Never thought I’d miss FaceID so much as I have, nor the swipe navigation. I know it’s just because I’m used to it, but the home button just feels clunky by comparison.

What about AppleCare Plus folks? Anyone bothering (who are not on the upgrade programme)

And screen protector? Yes or no?

AC+ because IUP - was toying with just doing the 24 months 0% - £29.99 pm vs £41pm. i’ll Only be keeping for a year so I went with the extra £10pm to protect it

I am tempted to go without a screen protector Because of having ac+. Not sure - running without for now


if no issues next year - that’ll have been 3 years with ac and no issues so I might be tempted to switch to iPhone payments for the 12.

Collected my iPhone 11 Purple today. The screen to me looks no different to the 8 plus I had before which is great. No regrets about not going for the Pro max. The camera is great, the speakers sound amazing and the A13 is noticeably faster than the A11 in the 8 plus. Also like that the phone is smaller and lighter than the 8 plus but with a larger screen albeit a different aspect ratio.
 
Plumped for the Space Grey 11 Pro over Midnight Green in the end. Did concede to green in choice of case - Apple leather Forest Green. Always tend to default to the Apple leather cases.

I did see eBay are doing £1 max selling fees if listed before 23:59 Monday, so I was tempted to see what it would go for, but it's a lot of hassle.

I had the same issue yesterday connecting my max to my Mercedes. I had to disconnect the phone and reconnect it again and it worked second time round.
