How did you transfer your data? I’m hoping my watch is easier this year. Seems hit or miss on this thread if people had to unpair and re-pair the watch.

Just by bringing old phone and new phone together and following the instructions.

And your watch moved automatically? Or was there more to it?

 

[Sal09]

Ok whose tried Dark Cherry on their Sierra Blue iPhone in here.

I tried it on mine and took it off instantly. Keeping it for now as I’m 50/50.

Back in Blue Jay.

Will give Abyss Blue a try tomorrow.

I'm Abyss blue ... I think it looks better with the SB over Blue Jay (obviously, that's why I bought it)

Watch moved automatically, asked me if I wanted to transfer my watch to new phone and it did the rest. All fitness history transferred etc no probs

Ad blocker with cookie protection e.g. AdGuard

Do you have the pro version? Is it worth £8.99?

Is that the silicone case? JL have them discounted but only one colour.

Yes Abyss Blue silicon. Very happy with it, looks awesome.

Have to say the iPhone to iPhone transfer set up was fast and easy. Especially the watch transfer compared to previous years! Had less luck with ESR screen protectors, two tiny specks of dust so I’ll have to order again.

You can lift the protector back off, use the dust stickers on both the screen and protector and apply again. Worth a try, it worked for me.

One thing I recommend if you have cards in the Apple Wallet is skip activating them during the transfer (both on phone and on the watch). Sometimes they require an SMS or email confirmation code and it has caused me hiccups in the past. I find it just as easy to activate them after the phone and watch transfer is complete.

Gurman has doubled down on a complete redesign for the 14 too now.

Going on to be a crazy one next year if so

Yes won’t be the tracking, that will just be small cookie requests. More likely the poor performance on the bulletin board software that powers the forums.

I use tapatalk on the phone for viewing (supported) forums..
Much better experience with dark mode etc

MacRumours has Dark Mode anyway.

It’s very random whether the watch moves across seamlessly.

One of the initial screens does show that the watch will move over, however, for me, on my new phone, it would NOT pair with my watch until I had to manually unpair it from my old phone. Once I did that, I then saw the ‘pop up’ message on the new phone to transfer the watch across.

I currently have an iPhone SE 2020 but am looking to get an iPhone 13 Pro very soon. Just out of curiosity, I wondered how many of you use a screen protector? I don't have one on my SE and having had it for 18-months, I don't have a single scratch or mark on the screen. I do look after it and keep it in a separate pocket away from keys/money etc. However, I have read that with the tough ceramic shield screen on the 13 Pro it can be more prone to getting scratches. I don't want to splash out £1,000 on a new phone and wreck the screen. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere on here.

I didn’t initially like my Midnight (black) leather case for my 13 Pro but once I actually received the phone, it’s kinda growing on me now and is a good contrast against the light Sierra Blue colour of the camera lens section showing through the Midnight case.

Agree with this - this is what I done during my transfer and everything went smoothly

Personally I would recommend a screen protector, especially ESR or Spigen.

Anyone got any updates on EE?

 

[Dino F]

…..or any updates on Argos, for those who posted their phones off?

 

[hirsthirst]

Two settings I like - one newer, one older:

- Background Sounds (under Accessibility / Audio Visual) & can be toggled with Control Centre shortcut for Hearing

- Reduce Motion (under Accessibility / Motion). I always have this on, but also like subtler cross-fade transitions far more than the screen swoop-in which now makes me feel a little seasick

 

[snarlz]

I held off and have gone with CPW who offered £600 for my 128 Pro Max

 

[George_A]

Need to send my device by tomorrow.

£600 to MM or £660 to likewize (Argos trade in). - 12 pro 256GB

Do we have anyone that has been paid from Argos?

 

[sneeks]

If CPW at my local Currys would price match Argos I’d happily walk in there and trade my 12 Pro.
