Am I the only one, who uses their phone naked?

I have only dropped and cracked my phone twice in 10 years(iPhone 5 and SE).

I am against using the case, it’s like buying a brand new leather sofa and then putting a plastic cover over it? I mean what’s the point?

Yes there is a risk, but I would rather live my life to the fullest than bubblewrap everything and play it safe.

Only iPhone I’ve ever used a ‘case’ was due to ‘Antenna-Gate’! My opinion is if I’m carrying an expensive piece of tech, I make sure I’m careful using it. Dropped one iPhone ever since buying every one since the 3G one. Only way I’d use a case was potentially having young kids around who might just pick it up and launch it without you noticing.

Ordered an Apple case from amazon before I came here and saw JL had them cheaper!

It’s not worth cancelling as I converted a work £60 gift voucher to amazon to buy.

Black leather pro case being delivered tomorrow, pretty much identical to the one I’ve got on my X.

Does any one have any idea about the iPhone 11 Pro availability through the IUP, as currently it seems it’s unavailable to order?

I’m fascinated by the fact that Apple now offers 0% APR on it.
 
Wavering about the midnight green now. But the last time I changed my mind about the colour it caused a load of hassle and two years to get my money back from Vodafone... Wish I'd gone for silver.
 
Still nothing from EE, but had a quick chat with them where they confirmed the order had been processed, although went on to say they’d be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Not exactly inspiring confidence...
 
Bit off topic here but does anyone know if you already have a Apple 4K TV you qualify for 12 months free TV? Or is it only if you buy one from now on?
 
I ordered Midnight Green... and now I'm wishing I'd gone Silver.
I like both, and will stick with green but the silver does look very clean. Urgh!

Got through to an Apple online chat finally and he confirmed it’s all fine Barclays’s end it’s their end they’re having issues but it will not delay the shipping he claims... still on track for 20th and it will clear soon. We’ll see.

Hi. I am facing the same issue. How did you manage to get through to the chat? Its only showing an option to call and it is already closed for the day. I got confirmation from Barclay but order says waiting for payment. Just dont want it to be delayed. It said 20th sep shipping when i booked.

Besides rose gold I really don’t understand how the silver is still the most easily available phone still, like you say it looks so clean and sleak! Can still pick the 512gb up at my local store on release and the others are delivery for the 23rd whereas everything else is 1-7th October

Yeah it's strange.
I do think the darker colours (green and space grey) will look better with iOS's dark mode, but the silver is very sleek.
 
oh I see, I didn’t know that. Any idea when the 11 Pro would become available again? I want to join the IUP program

They’ll usually become reservable from 6am Saturday for stores that have stock. Then it’s 6am most days checking for availability
