I have my driving licence, Costco card and one debit card in mine. Two of them I can’t use from my iPhone. The debit card is a backup in case my watch or phone don’t work.
Got a tip for us?

Wow, great buy! Golden Brown looks a really nice shade of brown, dark but not as dark as the 12 Pro's Saddle Brown. On the Apple website Golden Brown looks a much lighter brown almost orange as per this photo which put me off. Whereas in real life, its actually great alternative to Saddle Brown and will look the nuts against Sierra Blue.
Your definitely going to get some good patina on that one!
I'm going to have to buy one now myself! 🤣 At least saves waiting for a high-end third party brown leather supplier!
I know that release day is Friday, and I've never had anything early myself before... But I have seen that on very rare occasions others have in the past...
Absolutely. Was my first thought - the domain name for the tracking that was sent via text was dhlparcel.co.uk... So the first thing I did was go to DHL.com to check the tracking number - definitely tomorrow. The second was to check the domain with WHOIS for dhlparcel.co.uk -- it has DHL.com name servers...
But then I phoned DHL to see if I could confirm the sender. Expecting 2 iPhones, one for work from one network and the other personal from another. One of them is going to O2's store for collection, the other is coming here...
So checking with DHL - tomorrow's delivery is the one going to the O2 store. So zero chance of them letting me have it until Friday. The good news is that I can collect it as soon as the store opens as it will be there overnight.
I think the idea is to carry cards you cannot put on Apple Pay/Apple Wallet like Driver's License, ID or door key cards perhaps.
Late development 😂..
EE rang offered me the pro max nothing up front for £53 with unlimited data. He was sceptical about when it would arrive but i thought it was a pretty good deal
Time to cancel the 13pro order from apple now and send the accessories back 🙈 mans taking in credit score searches like bullets at the minute 😂

When you put it like that, true. Especially now they're (I think) upping contactless to £100 so you could use your phone to pay for almost anything day to day.
With me I just don't like the thought of adding more bulk onto the phone and the magnet possibly coming off. Its just down to the persons personal preference at the end of the day. Being able to put any receipts etc in my wallet throughout the day also instead of stuffing them in my pocket is another thing
Yeah me too. It's usually my go to case when I get a new phone. It's cheap and offers pretty good grip and protection for the money.
Maybe another option would be to first unpair it from the current phone. Then do a phone to phone transfer. The pair the watch with the new phone. 🤔
Yeah 13 Pro max. Sorry forgot to add - used 20% discount code through work. So it was something like 66 with 100 upfront but they waived the upfront and discounted
Looks like a lot of people going all in with the ESR screen protectors. Do they come with the install frames etc?
I know the protector covers Face ID camera and notch, is there a little grove to keep the repositioned earpiece at the top?
I went down the spigen ez fit route.. will see how that goes!

I got my Creatista Plus back in January. It’s like my best friend. Best £380 I’ve ever spent! 😂

Am I right in saying there’s no way to move a watch to a new phone if you’re starting afresh?
All the health data is in iCloud so is it just achievements?
I can see why many on here used the box from the ESR Amorite protectors, to send your phones off to MM - its the perfect size and strength to house an iPhone !!
If anybody else is trying Argos on Friday don’t forget to add your nectar card to Argos as it’s 3x points so a possible £15 for a pro max

anyone starting a new contract with EE, keep in mind you'll have to pay for roaming in EU. That's one of the reasons I went with apple directly as I took out a sim only contract before the cut off date and still get free EU roaming
I used this method when transferring my iPhone 12 to X before selling the 12 and it did seem pretty fast. One thing I didn’t try was whether you could charge the iPhone the camera adapter is plugged into at the same time as tresferring, so probably worth having plenty of charge just to be on the safe side if you are transferring a lot of files.
I’ve used the Spigen EZ fit screen protectors for my last 2 iPhones and they’ve been brilliant!! Fitting is a breeze and they hold up well. The protector on my 11 pro has been on for a year (the old one was a bit scratched) and it’s perfect apart from a few micro scratches from swiping.
I have 3 cards in mine, it’s snug, but not tight.
