I’m debating whether I should or not. I’m useless at putting screen protectors on and I go to this kiosk at the shopping centre that sells cases and screen protectors. I buy my own screen protectors and get them to do it on all my devices even my Switch and Steam Deck.

They usually charge £2-5 and always do a great job. I’m not sure whether I want to use the lens protectors and whether they will put them on for me. I’m not sure if they’re really needed and if they affect the picture and video quality. 🤔

I used to be useless simply in keeping out the dust, then I started a trick where I put it on soon after my shower. The steam takes all the dust out of the air. The other trick is, where dust tends to come from isn't it falling on the phone screen as much as the sticky screen protector being waved around after its plastic is removed...

Yep should be ok. Just a warning if they’re like MM they don’t count the day the Royal Mail tracking shows it delivered but it’s the day they process it.

For me that was 2 working days later

I queried this with them as placed my sell order on 8th which is when they started the 14 day count. However, I didn't receive my returns pack until the 12th so they said they would extend if the pack didn't arrive on time.
 
Was undecided on which case to go for so bit the bullet and went for the D-brand ghost case mkbhd has in his video.

No shipping until October though so will use it naked and hope I don't somehow butcher it before then.

My main problem is when I try to do fiddly things like that my hands start to perspire making it very difficult to do whatever I’m doing. I’ve only ever once managed to put a screen protector on myself and that was using one of those guide trays. I prefer to get someone else to do it and I’m happy to pay a few quid for that.

Not always 6am, I checked various times to of day always managed to find some during the evening, around 7-9pm I found was optimal for Saturday pick ups. Always found them Friday night for Saturday. But like you said all dependant. I just knew that was my local stores deliveries

Is this only from Saturday?
 
I want to know how the battery life is for the Pro? I am still thinking of switching to the Pro Max, but I will have to wait until October to get the Pro Max as it looks like its out of stock in many places.

Get the Spigen EZ fit protectors. £18 for two. The easiest screen protectors you will get.

I miss the days when you could just read a web page and get some useful info, now it has to be a monetised video with a click baity title so they can make more money. Oh, and don't forget to click like and subscribe!

Not like they'll diss Apple anyway, as they won't want to miss the new freebie from them. So, I won't be watching most of the "reviews" today.

The trouble I find with battery life measurements is they're always based on an arbitrary analysis. The Apple Watch ultra is only officially 36 hours, but that assumes a load of quite specific uses. In reality, I would have to do long workouts & use cellular to get near that.

With the phones, its video playback they use. I look at my 13 mini (up to 17 hours) vs 15 (up to 20 hours) and it seems not much. BUT in reality, there are some things you always do even in background (say they chew 15 hours up). Then "premium use" (video, gaming, etc) has only 2 hours on the mini vs 5 hours on the 15, and real world it will feel a lot more significant. Watch a movie on the train to work, and the 13 mini will run out of battery before I get home, the iPhone 15 would have maybe 2 hours left (so 10% charge). And now take that to the plus or max, and they'll feel so much better (pro max I may have 10 hours left / 30% charge, in reality suspect it'll be more).
