Do the apple silicone cases add bulk to them?

They are a lot lighter than the leather cases. The smaller leather 12 Pro case is heavier than the silicon 12 Pro Max case

Hmmmm deliberating if I get the chalk pink this year I’ll wait and go to the store to try it on etc see how I feel. Just can’t stand more bulk than is needed. Small hands and all that

you get the same 14 day to return it if you didn't like it and do that all without going into store.. if you got one near by, then go check em out

Austin Mann - Apple's go-to photographer tester - has put out his review of the 13 Pro cameras:

iPhone 13 Pro Camera Review: Tanzania — Travel Photographer - Austin Mann

iphone 13 pro camera review: tanzania mambo vipi from ruaha national park, tanzania! We’ve spent the last week in southern Tanzania, exploring this vast natural habitat and capturing all its beauty with the iPhone 13 Pro’s camera. As I watched Apple’s keynote about this year’s iPhone release, I w

£354 for AirPods max if anybody is interested at the moment eBay

I saw the Sony XM4s on Amazon for £201 the other day. Nearly caved... I think the AirPod Max headphones are a hilarious product (along with the leather wallet case). £550 for 20 hours battery, that with the funny 'smart' case will die as quickly as AirPods do. As someone who will happily spend a decent whack on headphones, I just don't get it at all.

Final mini rant before bed, over. Night all!

One thing I’ve noticed lately, no one ever mentions Media Devil screen protectors anymore?

Wonder why…

The contactless limit doesn't apply to Apple Pay, you can pay for any amount with it.

I understand each store / chain can set their own floor limit, my former local pub was £80 & someone told me John Lewis is £10,000 😵‍💫

Well any store can set the limits they like for doing business, but from a regulatory and technical standpoint, there is no limit imposed on Apple Pay transactions.

The reason for this is due to the need to authenticate with Face ID or a PIN to make a transaction, making it equal or better to chip and pin verification.

Yeah IIRC someone on here bought a Mustang using their iPhone. Since then the only reason I carry my wallet is for pay at the pump garages

Happy tracking day!! Hoping in 8-9 hours we see a repeat of last years DPD notifications! Get that DPD app installed!!

Merry iPhone Eve!

Now it’s Thursday at last, Apple store now says “Arriving Tomorrow” 🙂
We just need that status change to ‘Shipped’

Depends on whether you rate Royal Mail or not. In my case they’re in the same cesspool as Hermes. I’d happily pay extra for DPD every single time.

If Royal Mail deliver Apple accessories to me overnight without charge (as they have done with every accessory purchase that I have made recently) then I have no complaints whatsoever, and I’m certainly not going to waste £5 to guarantee delivery of something costing less than £50, especially if there is no rush anyway. For an iPhone, obviously I would.

Movement on the EE order (no doubt automatic 😂)

 

[suyashsrij28]

Can you pay extra for morning delivery? I know DPD offers it for an extra £10 but I can’t remember if it’s enabled for pre-orders.

Generally not available on Apple orders, but is usually an option for networks/other retailers

Mine from EE is still showing awaiting confirmation. Ordered Saturday Morning.

Just seen mine has also changed to the same!

I hope I get DPD… great service from them.

 

[IllusionEntity]

Of course the most popular poll option is 12 Pro Max in the new blue 🙄

 

[iphonehype]

Ahh just finished work, had a major P1 which is now resolved.

Thought it was Friday, tomorrow. Well it is because I’m typing this 3am on Thursday. But technically it’s not because I need to sleep two more times.

Im done

You’re correct about John Lewis/Waitrose. I work for Waitrose and love seeing peoples faces when I tell them they can spend up to £10,000. 😂

Happy Tracking Day!
Let the fun begin 😊

 

[Gubro]

I got carried away and bought a TORRAS case and a MagSafe charger and I assume they are no good together :/

I don’t really like the apple
MagSafe cases, are there recommendations for others?

and finally , Friday Apple deliveries, will be get hour slots? Apologies if this has come up already!

Spigen MagArmor. I had it on my 12 and it's a great case. I ordered the same for my 13 Pro.
It saved my 12 2 weeks ago when I accidentally dropped it as I was putting the phone into my shirt pocket and missed it.

 

[Supersonicc]

It’s about to go down!

Stay focused people, today is a good day with delivery tracking, expect movement from DPD etc.

Last year my DPD delivery driver was Francis. Not THE Francis because I asked him!!
