Yup, 83.1% with 326 cycles. A lot more cycles than yours. I wonder if the crappy wireless charger I'm using has anything to do with it. As I said, I mostly just charge it overnight and by the end of the day it's usually between 10-20%
I finally caved and ordered a pro from AO.com for delivery on Friday apparently. Was thinking of waiting for the Max but figure switching from XS Max to another Max is quite a similar change whereas changing up for the smaller size will make it feel a bit different. I’ve had larger phones for a long time now so hope I don’t regret the change. In the covid world I tend to be using my iPad more for content consumption and my max is more bothersome being so large on dog walks etc. so more pocketable here I come!
I had a pointless online chat with EE yesterday where the first agent said I didn't have 5G in my current plans, and the second one said I did. So I am none the wiser. I also have a line with Three and find their 4G speeds much better than EE where I am (60/70 MB v 15/20 MB on EE).
Looks like my Apple Store has express pickup: https://9to5mac.com/2020/10/18/apple-store-iphone-12-retail-launch-express-pickup/
I got all excited then as I got a notifications of an order being sent. It was my kumquat case 
What we thinking in terms of cases?
I’ve always used the Speck Grip cases in prior years but they don’t seem to be available yet.

I really like the official Apple cases but I do find it hard to justify the £49 price. I prefer the leather ones too as I find the silicone ones don't slide into my pocket very easily.
Got really excited when I saw this only to find out it’s just my case being dispatched!
I decided against getting the 12 pro max as I don't think I need the pro features really, so I decided to get a green iPhone 12 64GB on contract with Vodafone for 24 months (48GB Data, Unlimited calls/texts) £42pm 😁
Easy way to justify that £49; divide that into how many months you’ll have the phone.
Yep, both Westfield stores.
I’ll just walk there this week and hopefully it’ll be express
I’ve managed to grab one from Apple pre-order but only store collect for launch day. Preferred delivery as working on 23rd. Tried to scramble around and see whether can grab one from delivery. Worst come to worst, I may need to cancel Currys if they cannot make it.
I’ve used Carphone Warehouse for the past 2 years and managed both times to get on launch day.
Is anyone else getting a normal contract with the phone instead of sim only?
I went to carphone warehouse and they don't even service EE or o2 anymore (i'm with o2) and o2's contracts are not that great

...hmm - I’m not convinced these offshore live chat agents, with their broken English, can actually make changes on my account without messing things up.
I may call tomorrow where I know I’ll get a U.K. agent....

That’s reassuring. I’ve ordered from Currys for the first time, they’re the same group
They always work well for me. Send full details via text and email. And you can ask for a full transcript of the conversation to be emailed to prove what was discussed.
