My UKMail has just arrived, mid way through the window. Time to setup my iPhone XS Max and the Apple Watch S4 Stainless Steel. Looks incredible.
Got a tip for us?

Guys, normally I set up my iPhone as new, so I may just do that, the only thing is it has lots of passwords stored on chrome and safari etc. If I do a back up and restore would it copy all that across?
Also, what is the process for unpairing a watch (data I do want backing up and restoring) then pairing to new phone and restoring from back up?
Cheers

Hope everyone is enjoying their new devices.

use to have those spigen ones (they're hard plastic rather than silicon) but use apple ones now.

Unpair watch > backup to iCloud > restore from iCloud on new phone > Pair watch > restore from watch backup
A backup is created when you unpair, then it is backed up to iCloud with all your other phone settings.
Unpair watch from old iPhone.
Run iCloud or encrypted iTunes backup.
Set up new iPhone & restore from that backup - during setup it will ask you if you want to use the watch with the new phone if they are close together when you run setup & if you want to restore the watch from a backup as well.
I wonder whether that actually fits the XS though as it says it’s for the X as well?

Just trying out the camera on my way to Pret to test Apple pay.
Not bad
Thanks Jinjin, you’re a star! With £74.60 AppleCare refund and the Music Magpie tech10 additional 10% I’ll be £163 better off. Alternatively, for £277 I could keep the 8+ as a spare. Makes a lovely iPad Micro!
Apple just told me they will contact Barclays, who email within 10 working days with confirmation of the final balance.
their official site has a few on there too

I don’t want to have to use this thing in a case but since I must, I’m glad I went with the Saddle Brown leather. Looks gorgeous with the gold.
nice work.. simple to do too!
[doublepost=1537543322][/doublepost]yup thats my favourite colour case.. I had that with my gold 5S.. looked great!
went got the stone to keep the phone and watch in sync!
So a bit earlier on I ordered from CPW for delivery tomorrow and cancelled my Apple order. Have just had my DPD link come through, it will be here tomorrow.
(There was a CPW store with it in stock about 40 minutes away, but I didn't get a chance with work to get across there. Still, I'm happy with tomorrow -- especially as we're going away next Thursday until the following Tuesday, so I was sweating that a bit!)

Yes mine has updated preparing for dispatch also!.
Really do like the look of my Space Grey Max with the Cod Cape Blue, but might try the red leather or forest green in a few months as im not sure how it will hold up. Time will tell.
How are people finding the new Apple Watch? I think im going to pick one up probably after Christmas to replace my 42mm Series 2.
Would be getting the 44mm.

you can call barclays and find your outstanding balance yourself. Its just likely that they'll not have received the payment from Apple yet. You can deduct the amount refunded by apple from that balance, and pay that off or do what I'm doing in just paying the remaining balance and then when Apple refund barclays, they'll see the account is in credit and refund me.
Anyone settled on a specific wallpaper (which hides the notch) for the XS? Not really digging the blue, green and gold half globe wallpapers?!
On another note - just ordered my S4 Nike+ 44mm Watch - delivery for 24th October!!!!!!!! Its gonna be a looooooooooooooooooooooong wait!!!!

just looked great in store, and tried it with a case and felt comfortable... I see how next few days/week go and see how I feel then.. will have some 'real world' usage by then and not just being blinded by the Apple store lights!
