Gonna see if I can get the 256gb Silver XS Max this time round - wanted Silver last year but ended up with the space grey one. Love it but fancy a switch up! 64gb was a bit tight this year too.

Also a 44mm SS Series 4 watch if I can get my hands on one.

...then 100%, I'm going for the iPhone XS.

The XS Max is simply far too large - it would never fit into a jeans pocket whatsoever and as far as the XR goes, don't like the design of these, with the single camera on the back. Colours are nice though but thats all.....

Decision made.

Not decided. Not been around much so not sure the potential full specs of each phone but typically go for the biggest and best then realise a hour or 2 after unboxing thats its not really much different to my last lol.

Will be upgrading my Series 2 watch though.

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.

9 for some :( (thats until I get around to watching it)
Fair enough. In that case I’ll be interested in the AirPad at some point soon as I’m looking to get AirPods soon and a single place anywhere charge anywhere mat would be exceptionally useful to charge my 3 items (phone, AW and AP)

Could be tempted with getting a sweet spot 128GB XR to be honest unless the XS's do a significant amount more than the XR can...

Shame, I was hoping for an X Plus, 128GB.

256GB again for me then.

My 8 + is silver, not sure what to go for this time round...
case or not to case?

I have the silver X but the only way you would know is form the stainless steel bottom edge that can be seen from the case. in the last 11 months or so its been out the case 5 or six times

I recall some people with the space grey X suffering from the coating on the stainless steel band flaking or chipping away, much like the slate iPhone 5 edges did. The bare stainless steel on the silver X didn't suffer from such a problem and could easily be polished out with a silver jewellery cloth.

same boat.. XS Max will be a little too much based on my experience with the 7+ and considering the additional weight plus a case.

saving a few bob will help go towards the watch and other bits if they materialise!

I used to be a case fanatic but really it feels like such a shame to hide these amazingly engineered sleek phones inside a case.

I am planning on getting a dbrand black skin for the back so that there is a gold band around the sides on my XS Max. I think that would look pretty sick and would also keep the form factor

Hola. It's been a while.

I'm on o2 Refresh. Just to confirm, there is no time limit for me to refresh? I can pay off the reminder of what I owe whenever I want and then upgrade?
