Anyone here on Sky Mobile’s Swap12 contract?

I have an 8+ 256GB and am planning on getting the 256 XS Max, any idea if I will
Be contacted to upgrade or will have to ring up to do this myself?

So Xs Max 256GB in Silver for me, and a Stainless Steel 44mm Watch with White Sport Band. Again, doesn't look like the Stainless comes in GPS only :(

The new gold colour will look interesting I think, also there’s a gold Apple Watch and band. No ceramic updates tho apparently (according to the very recent leak there’s no mention of it on the shop)

I really don't understand how all these leaks are escaping...?!!

In Steve Jobs' era I only remember one Keynote where hardware was leaked, (the following year, he announced that Apple were 'doubling down' on security), whereas now, its every year?!!!

I'm not a fan of gold. I'd poss get the space black stainless if any of the leather straps with lugs actually looked decent.

I may consider the gold XS Max if the gold is subtle on the band. No gold has looked as nice as the 5s gold IMO

yup, I slated that gold colour until I saw it and preordered the gold 5s too.

more tempted by the gold watch looking at the leaked picture.

It may be announced for later this month but not available to pre-order just yet and that could be why it’s not on there yet.
hopefully so! no new iPads either so assume the rumour of an iPad event soon after this may include the additional bits!

shocking if apple don't release the AirPower this year after announcing it 12 months ago,

I probably won’t get the gold Apple Watch but if they are adding that new colour I wonder if there will be other new colours added as well? That would be cool, I’m definitely hyped for the Watch this year, especially if it has the ECG like Ming Chi Kuo has said it will, that will be a game changer.

I’m not planning on upgrading my iPhone this year but I’m not saying never because I could watch the keynote and fall in love with the Max or something (I loved the iPhone Plus model)

Yea it looks like this event will be Apple Watch and iPhone only, I’m guessing they will take longer than normal to talk about Apple Watch (wit the design change and new features) sam with the iPhone’s. Maybe demo some new software features as well? Otherwise the event wouldn’t last that long really.

But can’t you just buy any compliant wireless charger and it will work with the iPhone?

£100 just for apple’s brand seems a bit pointless when you can get one for half the price

xml confirms it's the only new colour unfortunately. Would've liked to see a change in the aluminium colours. Maybe a gunmetal option. You know Apple and 50 shades Space Grey though. Could well have changed :D

A cheap wireless charger can't do this though...

For the event tonight if we pause on Apple TV and then click play does it continue from where you stopped or does it jump to catch up to live stream. Reason being I want to pause it at 6pm and then play from about 6.20pm when my partner gets in, save waiting until 8pm or whatever. But I won’t do that if it’ll skip straight to 20 minutes in when I click play again. Can anyone remember what would happen in this circumstance?

yep I could

I cold also buy different brands of phones at half the price too :)

I want to see how apple nail the 'place anywhere and change multiple devices'. Nothing else on the market can do this currently. A single charing device on the bedside table is perfect.. look at the market and current chargers that support watch as well, they have the same design stand for watch and mat for phone. I'm looking to get the AirPods with wireless too so nothing can do all three.
