Not if it's a smart plan with Apple Music selected as the smart benefit. If you've never used the 6 month trial though you're better off picking that and having another smart benefit until the trial runs out.

I decided to go for BritBox to watch Spitting Image. I use Spotify so Apple Music is no good for me.

Morning! Got a 2 pack of Spigen screen protectors on order but they estimate delivery between the 26th and 29th which means potentially 6 days with no screen protector!

Im considering going the apple screen protector route which is £14 when I go to collect my phone Friday and keep the spigen ones for a rainy day or am I being overly cautious. Have the apple ones improved somewhat in recent years? My wife's 8 screen protector cracked on hers. I might be wasting money for being ocd lol

Where are you seeing £14? Cheapest for the iPhone 12 is £25:

Belkin UltraGlass Screen Protector for iPhone 12 | 12 Pro

Belkin UltraGlass Screen Protector with German-engineered technology delivers the next generation of screen protection for iPhone. UltraGlass is chemically strengthened by double ion-exchange for ultra-impact protection that’s up to 2x stronger than tempered glass protectors.

Got 200GB 5G smart plan for £20 after much haggling in chat... those of you getting a better deal I would guess don’t have smart plans or have more ammo to fire on the loyalty point (perhaps you have a special discount eligibility or multiple lines... I have none).

You guys have convinced me I will wait to see what happens i.e checking my credit card every hour lol to see if amazon put on £849 if they do will risk it and see what comes if they charge £999 will cancel it and stick with Apple as it comes a day earlier.

Amazon tend to charge you when they dispatch the item. And plus, I think you’d have to agree to paying £999, they can’t just change the price without telling you and charge your card. Unless someone else has experience of this?

I’ve an ESR case which arrived today: my first ESR case

Snap! Let's hope they are as good as @Cutiekitty92 says they are.

They will send you an email with time to cancel if there is a price change

That is what I am expecting unless someone at amazon is feeling generous lol

 

[SquealingCustard]

Looking forward more to the iPhone 12 Pro than my brand new Mini Clubman (hopefully picking it up end of Oct) my priorities are all wrong!

[SquealingCustard]

That would be great also 😂

Interesting to see what happens anyway specially with the chaps who ordered the 512Gb version.

 

[SquealingCustard]

That would be great also 😂

I expect they’ll either cancel or fulfil the orders. If they cancel they’ll tell you to reorder at the correct price if you still want the item.

You forgot to mention the PS5 the week after now that’s called spoiling...

Yes, same happened to me except I ordered the black wallet and it then changed to saddle brown. It’s now showing black again, so the colour is correct, however the delivery date also slipped. Hopefully it will go back to what it was.

Just a thought as I’m interested in the mag safe wallet. Do you have to use a magsafe case for this to work or do you think one of those thin TPU Spigen cases will be ok? £50 for an Apple clear case seems pricey to me.

Also, if my wallet is attached and I want to use Apple Pay to buy something could the card in the wallet also be charged? Just wondering. If I use my Apple Card that won’t be a problem as it’s not NFC but if I put anything else in there then it could charged right?

I’ve wirelessly charged every phone I’ve had. When I traded in my XS max after 12 months it was on 97%. My 11 pro max was on 98% after 12 months too so I don’t think it does!

Those are very healthy figures.

Has anyone got a better price than £41 on this, I’m looking to transfer to it.

Is that sim only??

 

[CD3660]

I would concur with you that wireless charging, in my experience, does not overly harm the battery. I think use pattern plays a bigger role than how it's charged.

I think that this is probably true. Are you able to elaborate? What 'use patterns' are detrimental?

 

[johnyslats]

Open notch screen protector or covered notch?

Covered. ESR and TORRAS have a couple of good options
