I sent mine on Monday and wife’s on Wednesday. RM claims were both delivered yesterday so hopefully should be today in the bank.
The problem with the MagSafe charger is that the cable is only 1M long and it’s not even detachable. I need one with at least a 2M cable to reach the 20W power brick plugged into my power strip on the floor. And I don’t want to use an extension cable. Here’s hoping they come out with a 2M version or better third party options. I am considering the Belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe when it comes out as I do also have an Apple Watch.
My only issue with the Belkin is its going to be so overpriced, they probably collude with Apple on pricing.
Dont you just love doing upgrades.
Just had my EE bill produced after paying early upgrade fees etc on all contracts and it turns out they owe me £31 quid lol.

My favourite year was when I was with O2 and wanted to upgrade early (this would have been around iPhone 4 time) and they demanded £120 early upgrade fee be paid over the phone but whoever processed it added it to my account as a credit (without putting the upgrade charge fee on) and I didn't need to pay a monthly bill for 4 months!
Finally i can start using my Pro Max. I got this device on Launch Day lol.
It should find your watch and lead you through the pairing, I have quite a few apps and it took hours to set mine up and get everything loaded on, you get the option to do it phone to phone using the old one or from the cloud, phone to phone was going to take 6hrs plus on mine so I opted for cloud option, but in honesty that took just about as long 👍
Bloody USB-2 lightning connector! Really things should be so much faster. Also I'm grumping a bit because I have only ADSL in my new home, 39/9Mbps, and before I had FTTP 400/400.
I wish they’d hurry up with my 12” Retina MacBook. Sent it to them on Monday. Arrived at 14:01 on Wednesday (according to the tracking) but not a peep from them yet, not even an acknowledgement that they’ve received it even though they’ve had it for nearly two days. 🙄
I have fitted loads of screen protectors on various devices but this one I bought for the iPhone 12 Pro Max was the easiest ever, I did it the second I took the protector off the new phone, if not you use the kit they give you to clean it, then place the guide frame over the phone, peel the backing off the protector glass and drop it in lining it up at the top first, it automatically starts sealing to the phone like moving oil, leave it and it will do it itself or give a little push towards the edge now and agin to get a total seal, takes 2 minutes in total start to finish and looks amazing, then lift off the frame and keep for next time, no big ugly cut outs at the top, you get 3 protectors and bonus covers for the camera but didn’t use them, hope it helps someone 👍 Oh I forgot, you get a free clear silicon case as well

Yeah, I have fitted a Belkin one myself but still isn't 100% and its really bugging me!I have fitted loads of screen protectors on various devices but this one I bought for the iPhone 12 Pro Max was the easiest ever, I did it the second I took the protector off the new phone, if not you use the kit they give you to clean it, then place the guide frame over the phone, peel the backing off the protector glass and drop it in lining it up at the top first, takes 2 minutes and looks amazing, then lift off the frame and keep for next time, no big ugly cut outs at the top, you get 3 protectors and bonus covers for the camera but didn’t use them, hope it helps someone 👍 Oh I forgot, you get a free clear silicon case as well

Try these, you get the bonus of the free case anyway, the guide frame is great, just ensure you clean the edges carefully and don’t put greasy fingers there after, lay it on a flat surface with some grip to do it, cant go wrong with these for the money and what you get 👍
I doubt very much they are colluding in any way. Belkin products are expensive in general plus as this is officially licensed from Apple and is MFI certified they probably have to pay Apple for that. On the flip side you know that with MFI certification it’s 100% compatible. I agree it’s a lot to pay but if it’s a quality product and Belkin products generally are as well as being officially approved by Apple it’s worth it.
Amazon Warehouse are doing 30% off certain items, this INCLUDES Apple iPhone leather cases, add to basket and the 30% is taken off there, used like new ones available but be quick, may not work on all items, just have a fiddle putting different ones in your basket. Lots Apple stuff in there but not all have the extra 30% off.
Hope it helps anyone on a budget

I still a bit old school as i unpaired my watch and backed up to itunes with encryption when i sold my phone and then today i restored via itunes and a usb cable....took 20 minutes. Phone is done and just updating to iOS14.2.1 and the watch is successfully paired. Just need to update WatchOS and then its all finished.....oh still need to do mini HomePod
Just did a click and collect from my local store. Graphite Pro with Saddle Brown and Baltic Blue cases, along with Saddle Brown wallet. Got all the way home before realising the Saddle Brown case is for the Pro Max.
I had also ore-ordered the cases at another branch and went to cancel that order via the app and realised the Saddle Brown on that order is also for the Pro Max. Not sure how I managed to order the wrong one twice 😫
So I've now ordered a third SB case for delivery next week, at which point I'll post back the Pro Max one for a refund. What a faff!

As far as I’m aware they are offering a very limited service primarily for click and collect only and appointments for going in to look at and purchase products. I don’t think they are offering the screen protector service right now. If you buy one of the many screen protectors on line that come with frame to guide you they’re fairly easy to put on.

Yes, the Spigen one I got from Amazon for £10 ish was perfect. The secret is to put it on as soon as you've taken the wrapping off the phone so that no dust etc. can get on the screen.
