Mine came this morning. But Mrs AFB didn't bother to tell me until I spoke to her on the way home. She better work on her communication skills for Friday when the iPhone XS Max arrives!
You are not with the right Mrs JK!, my Mrs told me when it arrived, took a picture of it and whatsapped me straight away.

Mine just looked at it, realised it wasn't for her and put it to one side! But I'll give her a reminder on Friday!

(And given we've been married 20 years this month, she's definitely the right one! Especially as she doesn't mind me endulging my expensive Nikon and Apple hobbies!).

Well I hope both our Mrs will let us know about our orders arriving this Friday, she already know about it, also now I am waiting for the pre-order for the XR, my Mrs wants the Red, so she'll be getting that once that's live, she didn't want the watch 4 this time, she said she is happy with her Watch 3 SS.

Damn 20yrs, we only been together for 4yrs here...

Same here-XS Max for collection on 21st still showing 'Processing items'.

Yep it seems like store pickups will move and update closer to the date. I have no movement on my Friday delivery though, most people seem to be Preparing for Dispatch at this point!

Nobody else has a 21st delivery date that's still showing as "Order In Progress" or "Processing Items"?

I keep offering to buy her a new one, but she likes the fact it is undesirable for thieves!

She does have the latest iPad Pro though!

No link, but the agent told me on the phone. I queried it as I went to pay to unlock mine to sell to my mate and it was already done. The agent said that now iPhones will be unlocked after initial 6 months of contract.

...I guess I stand corrected then - perhaps I just imagined my 8 Plus displaying more icon rows than my previous iPhone 7!!?!

I currently use Tweetbot as my only twitter client and that displays about 7 or 8 rows of tweets on the page, whereas on my old iPhone 7, the same app would only display about 5 rows of tweets but as stated above, I guess this is down to each dev to develop their apps.

It's more the reviewers fault (who's sole job it is to provide accurate reviews) being completely incorrect. Can't trust anyone these days!

I had that when it came out. Wow that takes me back. The days when you just needed to call and text
That's it. She is rarely out of the house, so her mobile computing needs are much less mobile than mine. I do keep offering an upgrade.
Btw she didn't even get it new. It was my phone about 10+ years ago.

My mom has cheap phone from Argos for £10 or £15, can't remember. Looks like an old Nokia. She can't understand why I buy a phone for £1000!

Because it's not just a phone is it?
Games machine, iPod, camera, video camera, personal organiser and computer.
Yeah, well I'm not into games on phones (I used to be in secondary school), but anything else: universal communicator, internet browser with instant access, mail client, notes (for classes and important things like ideas) and of course camera... I don't even use phone calls so much, more FaceTime, What's up, Facebook, iMessages for friends with iPhones... I think she doesn't need it so how can she understand it?

Steve Jobs was a genius, when he introduced this phone. It was a game changer.

Received my Apple Leather cases today. Same as always, they have a "packaging" smell? out of the box. What's the best way to get rid of the smell and bring that gorgeous leather smell through?
