I’ve seen reports of this in the accessory forum.
I know the flat seneo that I use works, but in a slightly different position to my XR. The upright seneo that my Mrs uses also works with my 12 Pro.
There are a couple of threads in the accessories forum discussing this. Apparently some work and some don’t. I have two both of which work. One is the Anker Power Wave version 7.5 I bought in February of this year ( apparently older versions may not work ). The other one is the Belkin 3 in 1 Boost Charger. That one allows you to charge the iPhone, Apple Watch and Airpods.
Did u manage to grab one? Honestly, I'm excited, the reviews seem amazing and I think its safe to say its great bang for buck if you're into the apple ecosystem
You made me buy a home pod mini from JL can you briefly tell me what it is and if it can work stand alone, there is mention of it needing Airplay 2 speakers. Thanks 👍
Update: just found this video and watched it, seems it has little going for it, I’m heavily into Alexa with every room linked and just about everything that is possible to be smart homed linked to the system, anyway it comes with a 20w charger so not all wasted money and I do have a ton of Apple stuff so will be interesting to try one even if just for the sound and integration with Apple devices, I am no fan of Siri in fact I detest it, it always miss hears me and is so frustrating, maybe just maybe I can bond with this gadget, if not at least I have a spare charger 😁.
The first attempt was a huge flop, let’s see how this gets on, I will be happy to give an honest opinion but Inthink this guy has pretty much nailed it

Well I'm not sure how I made you buy one lol but its basically apple's newest smart speaker (similar to alexa, etc.). Im fairly sure you need an iPhone to set it up, and, just like the original homepod, it can play music, has siri for voice commands and will work stand alone. Having multiple homepod mini's allows for a dual stereo speaker formation for a richer and immersive sound experience. You can read more about all its features here: https://www.apple.com/uk/homepod-mini/
None-the-less I doubt you'd be disappointed!
I trusted you 😉. It’s a gadget, I didn’t have it but I will tomorrow, not been interested in the HomePod system at all so any tips appreciated, I must have 15 or so Alexa devices around my home so the CIA know everything anyway 😁. This going in my motorhome which is all Wi-Fi d up 👍

Yep, cancelled, too many people saying Amazon pushed back and when I spoke to customer service they were diabolical - "yes we can see its unavailable but it will be with you Monday but not despatched yet". That's what I got!
I have restored my 128GB PB and keep getting storage messages - already at 125GB.
Not sure why the storage management isn;t the same as my Xs which was at 70GB of 256GB,
It has filled the device with far more photos even though optimise is turned on.
This is not to do with “onboard” storage but funnily enough when I set up my 256GB Pro Max on Friday I got a message saying that I needed to subscribe to the 2TB level of iCloud storage. Never had that before. I’m hoping that it was just a glitch as it hasn’t repeated since. I don’t want to be paying Apple £6.49 per month just for storage.
That’s interesting, I have an XS Max 512GB and had only used 80GB according to the about info, but when I set up my 12 Pro Max 256GB as I thought I wasn’t using so much and didn’t need a 512GB, and recovered from the Xs Max backup I had just done it said I only had 40GB storage left, I panicked and was wondering if I should change to the 512GB, I did a bit of investigating and I had taken up the 3 month free Arcade offer, I never ever play games but it was free, and found the games I just clicked to download had filled so much of the space, maybe 20 games, so I guess these have to go?
I must say I was very surprised at my Xs Max having only 40GB used as I am nearly at my max on 2TB storage on iCloud, I think it’s been dumping pics up there, more investigation needed before it’s too late to change it!
Can anyone explain what the hell is going on? I was hoping Apple did a bigger storage pack but seems 2TB is the max, I could do with 10TB I guess to be future proof as pica and videos are getting larger and larger! No idea what happens in a few months when I hit 2TB max 🙄

EE Didnt send 1 out to me, and at the time i was using an 02 sim in my XS Max so i moved my EE line over to eSim.
Not sure it matters what SIM it is, EE knew i was using an eSim so could of chucked one in with the phone or even a physical SIM card in with the phone like they said they would.
3 mobile are the opposite, not only do they throw in a replacement SIM you don’t need, they also send you a spare one you can activate on another contract, so seems totally opposite.
Makes a change for Three to do something better than the other networks. I still wouldn’t use them though. 😂
Yes they really are for the more sophisticated high end users who want reliability and stunning customer service, so see where your coming from 😂
I ordered one for my phone a week last Friday and it arrived Tuesday - I got a text on the Saturday to say despatched.
I have ordered another one as changing device. Ordered that on Friday and had a despatch message yesterday so hopefully be here tomorrow.
Just waiting on my wife's eSIM - ordered hers Saturday as that is when she decided she wanted a new phone - not confirmed despatched yet.
Hmm yeah I don't get it. I though once it had indexed and sorted itself out it would release the photos back to to iCloud and leave plenty of space instead its kept 70GB of photos locally. I have the 2TB plan shared with my family - only used 0.5Tb so far. Strangely my wife has double the amount of photos in icloud than me at 300GB and yet hers has retained the lower storage usage
The only difference between restores was:
- Mine was restored using phone to phone transfer
- Hers was restored using iCloud backup
