They are definitely greedy but I don’t think they can be described as crooks just yet. However, some might say that their prices in the UK are daylight robbery!
*cough* Just off to the Apple Store to pick up an Apple Watch charging stand. £75!!!
Blimmin crooks!
I've just checked my bank account and Barclays have blimmi charged me today £43.95 which is the old figure for my iPhone 8 Plus on my previous IUP??????
This is even though I received an email from Apple on the 21st Sept stating that by handing in my 8 Plus has paid off the outstanding £395 on my account?! They are blimmin crooks..........
...ok, panic over!!!
Just called them and it seems because the new loan was taken out on the 21st for the XS, and everything happened over the weekend, the systems couldn't process the 8+ £395 pay off hence the extra payment today for £43.95.
They also stated that a refund has already been processed and I should get it back before the end of this week.
[doublepost=1537864107][/doublepost]A couple of iPhone XS questions though.....
1. Every morning when I turn my XS on, I get the message on the screen about having to enter my passcode before FAec ID can work. Does this happen every time I turn the phone off and then back on?
2. I have my 'Do Not Disturb' set for 9pm to 7am every day. Everytime this activates, I get the message on the screen saying something like 'Calls and texts will be silenced 7am tomorrow' or something like that. I'm getting this EVERY single time this activates? I already know what 'Do Not Disturb' does - why am I getting this message all the time (I never got it on my 8+ despite using the same do not disturb times)?
Wow
You must be well known in your local Apple store

This has always been a feature for a long time now with iOS. Even with fingerprint recognition, if you shut the phone down, when you fired it up again you had to put your pin code in.
1. Yes if it’s been powered down. It was the same with finger Id....ok, panic over!!!

Of course it is ,if you are in the public beta group
Seems like a bargain but I make it a strict rule never to buy from a company that doesn’t publish a telephone number, or an email address for that matter.
Never heard anyone do this before! Overnight while charging and connected to WiFi is when phones tend to download updates and backup stuff to iCloud. Plus being contactable in an emergency. Surely having DND on is good enough if you’re just not wanting to be woken up by useless notifications during the night?
Even having a house phone these days makes you weird! We still have one as my wife is in the house pretty much 24/7 and rarely uses her pay as you go mobile.
