Looks like I’m having trouble sleeping tonight

Does anyone get the 512gb iPhone?

Does anyone get the 512gb iPhone?

I guess the market for it isn’t as much as 64 and 128

 

[Cutiekitty92]

Does anyone get the 512gb iPhone?

I did but purely last year because I couldn’t get my hands on a 256GB 😅 deffo don’t need that much storage for me personally so so happy I’m going back to 256 this year

 

[Mr.C]

Anyone had any experience with the ESR clear cases? Ordered one for £5.59 with 20% off. But confused by all the 5 star reviews already though haha. Anyone found any other decent clear cases?

I have one currently for my 11 Pro Max. I just got the 12 Pro Max version for when I get that phone next month.

Yes.

If I recall correctly, Sunday / Mondays have been the days where Apple have dispatched the phone via UPS? Assuming the phone isn’t in the country

Does wireless charging impact battery health?

I wirelessly charged my 8 plus and battery health dropped to 85% within 6 to 8 months.

Switched back to standard charging with a lightning cable & Apple 12w power adapter and battery health has stayed on 85% for nearly 18 months.

I’ve wirelessly charged every phone I’ve had. When I traded in my XS max after 12 months it was on 97%. My 11 pro max was on 98% after 12 months too so I don’t think it does!

 

[SUGAR RAY WONKA]

I got 200gb for £25 on EE, that also included Apple Music so saved myself £5 a month overall.

I got this deal too, pretty good.

I would concur with you that wireless charging, in my experience, does not overly harm the battery. I think use pattern plays a bigger role than how it's charged.

Like you, my XS Max was almost exclusively charged wirelessly and after a year, it too was on 97% health.

My current 11 Pro Max after 13 months is on 95% health from almost exclusive wireless charging.

I have a clear spigen case for my 11 pro max and it is really yellow now :/

That’s really weird and disappointing to hear. I owned a Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for a 6S a few years ago and it lasted 2 years without discolouring. They’ve obviously changed from the plastic they used to use.

That’s not a good deal. With loyalty and 20% discount perk I get unlimited 5G data for £16 a month.

It’s a good deal to me 200gb is a huge amount of data, it also includes Apple Music which I used to pay £9.99 a month for so it is really £15.01 a month for the phone contract side.

You’re totally right! So fingers crossed we see movement either tonight or tomorrow if they’re coming direct from China

Morning! Got a 2 pack of Spigen screen protectors on order but they estimate delivery between the 26th and 29th which means potentially 6 days with no screen protector!

Im considering going the apple screen protector route which is £14 when I go to collect my phone Friday and keep the spigen ones for a rainy day or am I being overly cautious. Have the apple ones improved somewhat in recent years? My wife's 8 screen protector cracked on hers. I might be wasting money for being ocd lol

You’re spending £800+ on a beautiful new iPhone. A few quid on a screen protector for the first few days is sensible. If you drop it and it scratches you’ll kick yourself. Get some cheapies next day on Amazon

I’m hoping I can get the Apple Silicone Case in Plum to match my Product Red 12 on time for Friday! I’m a little disappointed in the apple leather wallet holders though, massive delays there!

Apple Music will only be for 6 months.

With cases, the sensible option for me was to just buy a cheap £10 spigen one from Amazon so I have some protection when I get the phone and then see what options there are in a few months when more get released, or at least I get to see what the £50 ones look like before buying.

Similar with chargers. I like the idea of the Magsafe Duo, so I don't see any reason to rush out and buy anything just yet. I have plenty of chargers (wireless and lightning) that will do for now whilst I wait for things to get released.

Maybe by christmas there will be enough options to make an informed purchase, but at the moment it just isn't clear what will be the best options.

I'm in the same position, I have just ordered a Torras clear case from Amazon and for power, I will be mainly using a 6-year-old iPad charger.
I will look at getting a MagSafe case and charger in the new year.

 

[r1biker]

Apple Music will only be for 6 months.

Not if it's a smart plan with Apple Music selected as the smart benefit. If you've never used the 6 month trial though you're better off picking that and having another smart benefit until the trial runs out.

 

[Davelfc]

My spigen went yellow in less than six months, it cost £9 and has protected the phone from being dropped a few times. Reading thee comments has encouraged me to buy a new one, it wasn't bothering me before.

 

[Mrrikki]

Apple Music will only be for 6 months.

No it’s a smart benefit sim and is for the whole contract not just 6 months.
