Max battery life is epic. My 'typical days' at the moment aren't all that typical for the time being, and hopefully not for too much longer, but I'd be very happy with this. Sitting at home on wifi isn't what I want to be doing, but this is encouraging after a week.

Bought a Hue Smart Plug to play with & experimenting with a Shortcut to turn-off charging at 80% - I'm using a 12W wired charger shared with Watch. Phone then just sits level overnight and drops steadily through the day down to c.40%. I don't use my personal phone much during the day, but it didn't seem that bothered by a long FaceTime call & some light browsing / messaging sat on the sofa.

I'm with EE and was looking at their SIM only packages online, and could only see the Unlimited Data which only includes 1 Smart benefit, but if you take a phone contract you get 3.

Is there a way of getting the full works plan but only SIM deal, as I can't see this on the website, and what costs are they?

Mine was showing in the EE app. I was 1 year into 24 month contract and i could upgrade to a new phone for free or new sim only package. I did own my own iPhone 12 Pro tho wasn’t on ee’s. I had a better deal than others come up mine was £33 full works but I’ve seen on here that some have £41 a month. it was a no brainier for me was paying £20.89 for 200GB and 1 smart benefits so an extra £6 get 2 more smart benefits and Unlimited data well 600GB on EE before they throttle. will never use it as I’m lucky enough to be on BT’s FTTP 910mbps package on Wi-Fi. good luck my friend

Well, one week in and I'm still totally happy with my new 13 Pro Max. Positively enjoying it every single day. My conclusion is that it was well worth the upgrade, even from a 12 Pro Max.

To those of you lucky enough to already have your iPhone 13 (whichever version), how are you getting on?
Loving the 13 PM and it’s a great upgrade from my 12 Pro. The larger screen is ideal and the battery life is far better too. I’m finding I get less eye strain with this iPhone, maybe a benefit of the variable refresh screen.

Yeah, I’ve got a £1 final value fee offer.

I dont get why I never receive these any more - used to get them all the time!
Now I get 80% off, or max £3 fees!!!!

So crafty how they get you selling with these £1 offers, then when you sell a few bits they slowly decrease it to earn themselves more.....

It’s here . ESR armorite Screen protector installed and trying out the Surphy case first. It’s a darker blue than it appears in the photo (more Navy Blue). I do like the covering around the lenses. Got the caseology vault in black and the Nudient thin in green.
Feels a bit heavier than the xs max but not uncomfortably so. That extra .2 of an inch makes a difference. Can notice the ProMotion. See it when scrolling. Looks a lot sharper, but flicking between it and the xs max , can’t say I would be devastated if it was only 60Hz. Will try out the cameras over the weekend. Looking forward to playing with the macro mode, and the cinematic video setting.

eBay 80% fees offer - https://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/100...9684&customid=2239892703&toolid=10001&mkevt=1 But you probably already know as the accounts who are eligible would have received a message / email from eBay.
Hey, thanks for the link! I clicked on it and it took me to the eBay £1 fees offer and it worked. I am enrolled into it. Strangely, I did not get a message from eBay through the app but the link worked. So its always worth trying. Yesterday I tried the 80% fees link from hukd and it declined me.

They are currently claiming non receipt of my phone, despite it having been signed for yesterday...
As long as tracking proves it was delivered and signed for you should be covered, right?
Hope it gets resolved asap!
 
MM processed my xs max this morning and already paid ££££ to my bank account. Thanks to everyone who suggested it

Wish Argos was as quick with payments. Email yesterday morning saying it passed their tests, but still no payment.
