I will pop in here for a few more days, but just wanted to say thanks to Jinjin for starting the thread again this year. It’s always fun and great to see familiar names and also new ones!

Next I will be heading over to Apple Watch forum and getting hyped up for the Series 7.

As always it’s been great and I hope to see you all again next year.

Enjoy your new phones, stay safe and take care!

Armorite here so all good to set up… think it was mentioned but it doesn’t start the phone model anywhere on the box!

Has anyone been able to turn on Face ID Watch unlock in Face ID settings, or is the communication error just an iPhone 13 bug affecting every unit?

I’m just catching up on forum after unpacking (and LOVING) my new 13 Pro and iPad Mini! .. I‘d forgotten about the whole mask/unlocking/watch thing so went to set it up and it’s done it perfectly for me. Just had to toggle the switch and put my passcode in.

Hope you can get it sorted! 1632566360101.png

Sorry, just catching up on posts...

Did your AC+LT show as activated? I'm seeing nothing right now. :confused:

It didn’t so I just activated/paid for it via the website. Took 5 minutes and now all I’m all covered. 😊 Highly recommend that.

They hold up well! My heart feels it every time they hit the floor though. 😩

Just had a call from EE in response to the email I sent to the CEO yesterday(very quick response)

He said 1264 iPhone orders were misplaced they think it was a batch and they are going to phone each customer. He said it’s all ran very poorly (surprised to hear someone from EE say that). He said it will be 14 days. I asked why new customers can order now and receive it in 7 days and he said because the iPhones are already assigned to those 1264 people. I said it makes no sense that you would send a new customer their order first and he agreed but said that’s what is happening.

So a new customer can order online now and receive it in 7 days, but these 1264 customers have to wait 14 days - exact words from this executive complaints guy.

When did you send the email? I’ve not had a response to mine yet!

Just to echo others: I, too, would like to thank @Jinjin for setting up the thread. 💙

We've endured another 12 months of COVID challenges since the last one and whilst it looks like things are abating on that front, we're set for more challenges of other kinds. 🤷‍♂️

I know we often obsess over "first world problems" e.g. shades of blue, dust under screen protectors, shipping delays etc. But it's nice to have an outlet to just escape and come together to embrace our collective passion for all things Apple. 😊

I'm sure I'll be seeing some familiar names in the Apple Watch thread. But thanks to all contributors. It's been a great thread. ☮️

Nothing new there unfortunately, new customers take priority of existing.

Would be nice to see how the ESR Amorite looks especially if people are saying it blends in with the screen due to the black edges. Currently got the normal ESR and you can see the outer silver lining which I don’t mind, nearly got it perfect but some dust specs under the protector which I don’t like.

It's good fun every year to gather together and obsess over our tech.

I cannot WAIT for the Apple Watch 7 thread ;)

Thanks for feedback re case exchange. Not sure when I’ll be able to get back to bluewater though/risk using that much fuel!

on another note, is anyone seeing half their storage being used by “system data” since transferring?!

I haven’t seen anyone mentioning the same issue I’m having here in the thread, so doesn’t seem to be widespread…
I’m assuming I did something wrong on my end

I mean like not delivering iPhones on the day they said and having to offer compensation etc. Seems like they were the worst culprits.
