I'm expecting delivery of a 256gb pacific blue 12 Pro tomorrow! I normally go for the plain black edition but this time I am going blue. Just wondering if anyone has any case recommendations for pacific blue? Thx

At the risk of stating the obvious, maybe a clear case along the lines of this, I mean, if you're going to cover it up with a normal case, you may as well have just bought the black one no?
I have one for my 12PM, it's nice and grippy, but I'm experimenting with other cases just now.... Or wasting money, as the wife puts it, as I only use a case in the cold months.

Yah I'm most likely gonna get that exact one to begin with! I'd quite like a case that matches the pacific blue around the edges but it is clear on the back to really show it off :)

Finally got my hands on the Magsafe wallet after the gap in stock, I know a lot of reviews say the magnets are far too weak and it can slip off far too easily but the one I've just got today isn't going anywhere easily, wondering if there's been a change in the magnets they're using in the latest batch.
 
I think the wife would kneecap If they priced them at £350 I might have been more tempted. 100% happy with my B&O H3 3rd gens.

I added a pair to my Christmas list as a joke, worryingly, the wife hasn’t batted an eyelid, I’d better delete them - just in case :D
 
So... has anyone ordered AirPods Max?
lol no not for that price and besides I have some good xm3 which cost me £200 which I only used for the gym. think air pods pros are only wireless that I use on a daily basics so if they bring out new pros those are what I would consider to upgrade.

I’ve been back and forth on ordering one for the wife, one of the presents I’ve sneakily bought for her is a 12 Mini, but the magnets and security thereof has had me worried. So that’s nice to hear.

I probably shouldn’t worry, she’s going to kill me anyway. We set a budget of £70 for each other’s Christmas and so far I’ve spent about £1,700 odds. Which, to be fair, isn’t bad for me 😂

Oh well - we only live once.

Absolutely. Just ordered one of these as a second car in addition to the X3. Life is for enjoying.

And why not, if you can, do as far as I’m concerned. That’s one of the biggest differences between me and the wife. She’s quite frugal, not tight with money, she just doesn’t see the point in unnecessarily spending it. Me on the other hand, well, I just shouldn’t be allowed access to my money :D

I know that feeling. But that’s what makes it work, gives you a balance I guess.
 
Anyone’s battery capacity gone down yet? I been trying to kill my mini’s battery and it’s still on 100% since launch day.

I MagSafe charge overnight every day. The game (Shop Titans) heats up the phone quite a fair bit lol.

FYI - I don’t care about battery capacity because I upgrade yearly :p
 
Ordered a 12 Pro Graphite today with an expect delivery between 2-3 weeks. Bought the Mrs an early Christmas present 2 weeks ago (Red 12 Mini) and love it so back to IOS I go to.
 
So I ordered two 12 Pros 128GB, 1 Pacific Blue and 1 Silver, on 30th November. Xmas pressies for me and Mrs interbear, both upgrading from XR which will be passed to the kids via Santa. The delivery estimate was 15-22 December. In actual fact, the blue was delivered on Wednesday and the silver yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised that Apple improved on their original delivery timeframe.

Hi, so I placed an order for an iPhone 12 Pro on 1 Dec with a delivery date of 23rd. Payment was taken today but still saying Processing and delivery date still saying 23rd. Do you think I can expect this to come forward?

Edit: Now changed to Preparing to Ship, but still estimating 23rd...

Order sat “preparing to ship” for 5 days. It still said “preparing to ship” an hour ago. Just had an email from Apple - delivers 15th. I better get a case ordered!
