He is always Anti Apple lol

...no he's not??!!!

I don’t under how somebody who uses tech for a living couldn’t see a difference when others clearly can

....I couldn't see ANY differences in the photos either.

That wasn't the point though was it - the point is, is that for such a massive price difference (Mini vs Pro Max), there really is barely any differences in resulting picture quality of photos.

Surprised we haven't had a video from Unbox Therapy - Oh yeah that's right Apple hate you Lou

(Disclaimer - not watched the review yet) You wouldn't necessarily expect a big difference for 90% of photos: it'll be edge cases (low light especially) where the bigger sensor would make a difference, so it depends on what the test photos are.

Those with EE getting 20% off with Student Beans does this include 5G tariffs too?

When I last looked admittedly a few months ago now they didn't allow any discount codes on 5G tariffs

Which cashback are you using please?
I can only get to lowest at £24.60 for max unlimited 5G after advantage scheme and home package.

Hi, this was via Fonehouse in the Summer (www.fonehouse.co.uk) not sure if they have any decent deals right now, keep an eye out on Black Friday

Most of them are 5G tariffs now, very few aren't. From what people have said above for the tariff Im after the code works.

depends on the different areas. For night mode, portrait, video, low light there is a difference. Wether that’s enough depends on the user. People really shouldn’t be basing their phone decisons on camera alone.

Surprising review from MKBHD, he didn't think the camera upgrade was worth it over the 12 pro.

Awaiting camera/battery comparisons next!

For me its the size of the phone, I like having a big screen....

MagSafe Duo review:

Off topic. So I just got a text message from Argos that my Xbox Series X will be delivered by DHL tomorrow. I should get a tracking number by this evening. 😃

Same here.

Great thanks - Just swapped from my 20GB 4G contract (which I was often maxing out pre lockdown) to an unlimited data 5G Smart plan for 22.40 a month with the discount.

Will use Apple music as my benefit too saving me the 9.99 there

Im waiting for my account to revert back so I can upgrade and use the code, did you just enter the code on the checkout page?

For anyone that has iPhone mini / pro max pre-orders with Argos, you may want to contact them via live chat.

I went on live chat to confirm Fri 13th delivery date and the advisor said that I needed to book delivery! The order confirmation emails and order status didn't say that I had to, so don't know if this correct, but he booked delivery for me, luckily still for Friday 13th. The order status has now changed from "Sit tight - we're processing your order" to "Sit tight - we're processing your order for delivery on Friday 13th November between 7am and 9pm" and I have received a text from Argos also confirming the date and courier (Yodel).

After watching the reviews I am 50/50 now. The last big phone I used was 8+ before switching to X, XS and 11 Pro. On paper there isn't much of difference size wise when compared with 8+ but in reviews ''Too Big'' is slightly putting me off.

 

[egraphixstudios]

Didnt like MKBHD's review. MrWhosetheBoss was better.

Bottom of the pile is ijustine.

Yes I got an email last week Tuesday to say that it would be delivered tomorrow by DHL. I just got another text message regards a separate order for an Xbox Play And Charge kit also being delivered tomorrow by DHL.

....if this was me, I'd be standing by the window all day tracking the delivery driver's every move!!!

I have the One X myself and happy with that hence why I didn't upgrade but congrats to you nevertheless....

👌🏼

Yeah went through doing an upgrade and added the code as a Gift Voucher

My code wasn't actually a Student Beans one was a Totum one from a friend but all went through fine.

If you go for Apple Music through EE just click a link and it takes you through the music app with option to cancel the 9.99 payment to Apple to let the EE subscription take over.

Next is to move to an eSim just worried about ordering it and it knocking my current physical sim out.

....I also had the iPhone 8 Plus - my first 'Plus' sized phone. It was huuuuge and was so glad when I switched to the more reasonably sized XS when it was released!

I'm more than happy with the size of my new iPhone 12 - definitely would not go bigger!!

 

[kamran9558]

looks like 12 pro max is not really worth it. 12 mini on the other hand can potentially be a winner if the battery life is better than the SE 2020.

 

[robkat]

I think some people are exaggerating the size of the 12 pro max. I have a case for the new phone and it is not that much bigger than my 7 plus. Millimetres not centimetres.

It’s worth it if battery life is really the number 1 thing for you...mini sounds like a battery life is an issue.
