Off topic question.

Any idea which is the best instant/polaroid camera for kids.

Thinking of getting one for my son for his Birthday on Halloween lol.

We have an instax and kids are fine with it.

Do majority users here upgrade every year or on a 2 year cycle?

Depends who you ask...I personally will be upgrading every year. Most of us are tech-heads, so will do this

Used to be every year but now dropped to every 2 years. Was replacing a perfectly good phone so I spend the money on my other hobbies or family now instead.

2 years seems to be a good sweet spot when I notice the battery etc getting worse.

Yearly on the iUP but this year I’ve switched to the Apple 24 monthly payment option and plan to keep my 13PM for 2 years.

I use a small Mpow MagSafe car vent mount and it’s ideal. Paired with my leather Apple MagSafe case it is held securely. Had used it for 11 months with my iPhone 12 Pro and wasn’t sure if the heavier 13 PM would be as secure but thankfully all good.

I've never been confident that any kind of vent holder can hold a phone in place securely?! Most have short arms that when placed into said vent, do not clip around the back end of the inside of the vent slats and just rely on friction to keep them in place.

You mean you have fuel?!

I do....!

“Plan to” keep it for 2 years…

I’ve got the Belkin MagSafe one and have no mag issues with it.

The vent mount I bought has long securing arms which tighten onto the vent holding it solid.

Oh I don’t know, I didn’t change anything.

I get carried away with the hype - my first post in this thread this year was 'nah, it's an S year', but within weeks I was suckered-in & had turned on my perfectly fine 12 Pro. I also know I'm not the only one! No justification - but I can, so I did ...

Ordinarily I'd say I'd keep this one, but a) I know better, and b) next year seems likely to be a new design which I expect I'll want. Cost-to-change is getting a bit punchy though - last year I sold an 11 Pro Max for £849 (less fees) & bought a 12 Pro for £1,099. If I hopefully get the full £660 from Argos that's now a big drop having just paid £1,149 for a 13 Pro Max.

I plan keep the 13 until there's 'a new shape', whether that's next year or the year after.

I think im going to log off and take a break from this forum. Now seeing post with title ''The Promotion Display Is Pretty Underwhelming''. Its getting hot in here.

We should create our own general thread for us UK'ers.....
Or just keep this one going all year! lol

Sold my GoPro Hero 9 a few months back as I had no use for it at all.
So just placed my order for the Hero 10.......

 

[lionofthesouth]

For those that ordered through Sky Mobile, can I ask what it said in the My Orders section of the site before delivery? Mine hasn’t changed since day 1 (17th Sept). Just says “contact us for updates about your order”.
Expecting delivery by 5th Oct…fingers crossed( got an email on 17th telling me it would be delivered 24th Sept, that didn’t work out). Got cases and screen protectors , just need the phone now

The item I bought was made by Mpow and bought from Amazon but they no longer appear to be sold via Amazon.

Adding to the list of issues facing iOS 15 and iPhone 13 users, a new, seemingly widespread bug is causing CarPlay to suddenly crash whenever a user attempts to play music, such as through Apple Music or third-party providers like Spotify. Dozens of posts on Apple Support...

Happened to me...see a few pages back.

Haven't clicked on your link, but the fix is to turn off the EQ

 

[hirsthirst]

I've ordered a Mous vent mount - I've never had one stay stuck before, and with the 13 being so heavy I wanted clamped jaws:

anyone got their MM order processed recently? Mine has been delivered y'day just before 12, email said I'll get notified when it reaches the warehouse but still nothing... getting a bit worried

 

[bbfc]

For those who have been paid by Argos… when did the money go in? Got the email this morning so I’m presuming they run payments at the end of the day?

Yesterday, I got notification it had been processed by Royal Mail. Today about 13:00 I got notification that my order had arrived at their warehouse. I shipped it out on Monday

It takes a day or two at that point - don't worry it'll go through
