Sorry if it’s already been posted but which screen protectors are people using? I use to use the ESR Armor ones but for some reason I cannot find them.

Went with the basic ESR and its fine for me

Just received my pick up email ready for collection 😊

Anyone moving from 15’s with experience of the charge limit features……..

Do you use the charge limit feature or just leave it set to 100 and use optimised battery charging?

This wasn’t a feature on my 14PM so was wondering peoples thoughts on it?

 

[Broken Hope]

I have the same issue.

I spoke to apple support via iMessage and they couldn’t resolve it and had to escalate it to the agreements team who will be ringing me at 8:15 tomorrow morning.

Apple have taken my money and the email says the device is covered, but I just want the phone itself to say it is covered because I just know when/if the time comes I need to use applecare they will say I am not covered.

I’ll post here if they give a solution that anyone can do.

Stuff like this is why I never purchase apple care with the device and just buy it on device later.

Yeo bought my apple care afterwards.

My AppleCare was finally showing on the device this morning and I was able to link it to my AppleID.

I’ve just joined the upgrade programme today. Being on it does it make you use your phone any differently? Like caseless or without a screen protector? Seeing your handing back to Apple?

Stop using Tapatalk on these forums

Why?

Update: I see the image now. That’s a legacy issue and it’s solved in the current version. Simple app update is all that’s required. You don’t need to stop using it unless you want to.

Finally part of the future upgrade gang, ordered 16PM from John Lewis this morning, won’t arrive till 10th October- time to look for cases now, will miss Apple leather case, always got them in past.

 

[Adamj53]

Does anyone know what sort of time Apple store inventory for the day updates, or is it random? Seems a total lack of the Pro Max.

Controversial… I stopped using cases a long while ago. They are dust traps and scratch the sides of the phone. Hopefully things have improved on that front now. But I’m now stuck in my ways. I like the feel of the iPhone so I now use a sleeve. I have used fitBAG for years. They still offer the soft leather among many other options.

I only pop my phone in it when I’m out and about. At home I use it as a bed to place the iPhone on when I’m not holding it. 🤣

Should be about 6am each morning.

I was up just before 6am on it and nothing. 😢

Keep trying as they may not get stock in all stores every day.

 

[Qountdown]

If there was no discount then that estimate would be around the £114 mark.

If purchasing AppleCare+

Can you keep payment going monthly for any amount of years, or is there a limit if 2 years?

You’ll be given the option to subscribe monthly to AppleCare+ after your 2 years of coverage ends. You’ll also get a notification about it.

I tend to add mine towards of the 1st 60 days... Never had any issues

Sorry I meant if I was to start paying monthly for my new Phone, the monthly payments would just keep rolling for 2,3 years and so forth…there isn’t a limit?

Apple don’t say after 2 or 3 years you can’t use AppleCare any more due to its age?

Yes, you can keep it rolling indefinitely.

 

[leebroath]

Yes, you can keep it rolling indefinitely.

Wow! Ok thank you 👍

 

[Qountdown]

Wow! Ok thank you 👍

Well maybe not indefinite as in forever, but until the unit/parts goes obsolete. A good 7 years or so I would say.

Apple Account* 😉

 

[leebroath]

Pretty darn good then as there isn’t a limit.

Will definitely be taking it out for my devices, and great now you get 60 days to choose.
