Yup, love not having to worry about dataz but must admit I hardly ever use it lately. There was a time when I first got the sim, it was faster than my home broadband.
Balance out how much data you have or need and how good the network is for data. Pointless having unlimited data if it's too unreliable or too patchy to actually use.

They're absolutely gorgous, Ive never had one for my phone but my MacBook is rocking one of these at the moment and they're such good quality sleeves.
Looks really nice for a MacBook but not so sure for a phone.. Won't it be a hassle to get it out and put it back in constantly?
 
Ok so I just checked my bank and I think Apple has taken payment(I hope so anyway).Im picking up in store but my order still says processing is that normal?
People who are collecting in store have started to see payment taken today so I think your order is moving along fine.
 
I want to pick up some QC35s but I don't travel enough to warrant the purchase of the best NC headphones lol. I've been looking at the P7s but currently using Momentum wireless, but the p7s are the next step :p

Sorry for off topic.

Also, let's see what o2 is like tomorrow :p and my cases will be arriving even though I think I'm not going to use any of the five or so I've ordered.
I've been keeping an eye on the QC35 too, tried them in a shop the other day and they sound amazing!!
But after Apple announced the W1 chip for better pairing, I'm inclined to wait and see if Bose will use it in their next model...

I bought some QC's (the new wired ones?) 25? From Amazon Spain. They were a lot cheaper. They didn't arrive after 10 days. When I complained a pair arrived the very next day! Good tip is to check different Amazon countries. I've bought loads of stuff this way and it usually is dispatched in the UK.

I don't think its open to other companies i think its just limited to apple and beats

They are, I have the tan leather/teal felt for my iPhone 6 and it has aged beautifully. I'm quite sad to be leaving it behind but I've ordered a 7+. The 6 will go to my OH but he'll put an ugly case on it as he's Mr Butterfingers.

This year its a dam joke, every year I que up and get it first at launch now no way to get the 7 plus pre order is November and no queuing to get it at store first thing, now its not fair
Is it one of the black colours your after? The other colours should become available again quite quickly I imagine.

So I ordered my iPhone through the Apple Store and another through Stormfront. My Apple Store iPhone is supposed to arrive on the 2nd-6th Oct But the Stormfront one is tbc. Has anyone had experience with them before? I ordered a Jet Black 7 Plus 128GB if that helps in any way..
I bought my Apple TV 4 from stormfront, and I've bought a few cases, charging cables, plugs etc from them. I've not bought an iPhone though. They are an authorised Apple reseller. They are legitimate.

Ahh thanks. I was just wondering whether they would get iPhones before the Apple Stores? Also, can you go to Apple Stores on launch day to get iPhones?
 
My black plus 128 was ordered for delivery at 8:04 am Friday and says 26-28th of September, hoping it comes on 16th as if I ordered within 4 minutes of going live via apple pay there can't be that many people before me surely?

Paid with Apple pay but no evidence of it on my wallet or bank yet, hopefully see progress soon, I want it before a developer conference on the 20th haha
 
Did you go for the Anker one? Oh and are you returning it to Amazon? They want 3.99 just for me to drop it off at a locker!

Only looks like there are 2 left now, we got in just in time ;)

Yeah, went for the Anker as it's the only one that has a review with a picture showing the moved camera hole. Good find!

And I also realised that review was posted before I'd bought the twin pack for the 6 plus, I've learnt my lesson, read the reviews :mad:

Not really, it only sits in the sleeve when it's in my bag or my jeans pocket. Most of the time it's naked, so on my desk at work, sitting at home etc.
 
From previous years, does anyone know what the chances are of me getting a reservation for a 7+ 32GB in either black or gold for Saturday if I try at 6am? Desperate to do the upgrade program, however I can't wait too long as I've got to send my iPhone to Envirofone within 14 days :(
 
With the fall in the pound compared to the dollar the price would have increased from £79 to £92 so Apple have rounded it up. The prices on the phones match pretty closely the fall in the pound but the prices on lower cost items had bigger increase than the fall in pound due to the way Apple have rounded up.

You mean how they "rounded up" the price of a silicone case for the standard iPhone by making the price increase 40%? (from £25 to £35).

Yeah right.
 
I said its at least half currency related. But that's not the full story

There always an increase over the US conversion, but it's usually in line with the rest of Europe. This year is 10x that amount. Brexit happened, it's not rocket science, but you're in denial it seem.

Heres some articles to back my point up...

Anyone know what time I should be checking the Apple website for new reservation stock in the morning? (if there is any).

6.45, but from 6 on 17th.

Anybody tempted by the new Solo3's from Beats? Have been using Beats for a while hd the original Solo's and a pair or iBeats and Mixrs. Ive been using PowerBeats 2 as my regular commuting earphones since last year but want something a bit louder, Ive got a pair of Studio 2's but don't really want to use the lightening to jack adapter I just know ill end up losing it

Ive been enjoying powerbeats 2, but will give the AirPods a go.

That's a shame...

It's an Apple proprietary chip, so sadly will only be in Apple Devices.

I can thoroughly recommend the QC35's. The noise cancelling on them is fantastic and for me at least the sound quality is excellent. The battery is great too and gives excellent use even with both bluetooth and noise cancelling in use!
 
If you use the 8th September the date the price change took affect and compare to it a year previously

8th September 2016 1.33632
8th September 2015 1.53959

That would make it £91

So that's a currency fluctuation of 14.9% in favour of the US Dollar, yet Apple increase the price of the Apple Pencil by 25.3%. Brexit my a*se!!!

I agree they took the piss on some of the items, particularly the "low" cost items.
