£200 less? that was just an expression of how much I dislike it.not a fan of light blue on anything I only buy black/grey iPhones.
In fact what you said about not seeing colour because of case is ridiculous..didn’t you notice all those clear cases?

Sierra blue isn’t even that blue, more of a steely grey.
 
Whats a good sim only deal to get in London? I am currently with Vodafone and although I get decent coverage, I find them expensive.

Especially considering the fact that Vodafone dropped their support for Wi-Fi on the tube.

Do you have any experience with O2 or Virgin?

That's enough thing too about no wifi on the tube and I use the tube a lot. I don't have personal experience with either 02 or Virgin.

02 sim only prices are not too pricy but I have heard that their data speeds are not the best especially compared to EE and Vodafone. I guess its pretty much consensus that EE is the best network in London for data speeds and coverage however they are the most expensive so you will have to pay if you want the best.

Yep I’m on EE and categorically am super happy with their service. You get what you pay for.

How much do you pay for your sim only?

It seems the best deals on the EE website are only on the 24 month plans, not the 12 month or 30 day rolling plans. For example 150gb data, unlimited texts and mins plus a freebie (Apple Music, Amazon or BT Sport) for £25 a month is the best I can find (best suited to me) but its a 24 month contract which is a long time for a sim only.

That’s the one I’m on as well, but mine is 160GB. I literally upgraded / renewed in September. My previous contract had ended and I was on rolling monthly contract.

The contract length doesn’t bother me really as I always buy my phone directly from Apple and no other network comes close to EE in service and coverage.

So you pay £25? Who were you with before?
 
Hey all,

I’m looking for a small mount that I can attach to the dash in my car For my 13 Pro Max.

I can’t use the traditional vent mounts, as the vents on my car are the circular type, that move sideways.

So I’m looking for something I can attach between the vents that I can slap my phone on when I get in.

All suggestions welcome.

Merry Xmas too. ??

IMHO, mobile phone networks are the absolute epitome of getting what you pay for.

Only way for you to proceed is to get a free SIM from each of the networks and test them to see how well each perform for you, no one else can advise you.

holder works fine. I didn’t think it would but it’s great.

How are everyone’s Armorites holding up? I’ve just spotted a tiny crack in the top right corner (conveniently in the black border). No drop at all and no hits that I can recall.
Just over three months since installation and the ESR Armorite has developed more chips and now a crack going from those chips to the earpiece. Will be replacing it today with the second one in the packet. Hopefully that will last longer…

I started off with the ESR tempered glass screen protector, but due to recommendations on this form I upgraded a few days later to the ESR Armorite screen protector. I have had the Armorite on my iPhone 13 Pro Max since Sept 29th and so far there is not a scratch on it.

This is my first time using a screen protector and I’ve had an iPhone every year since the first one in 2007. I’m really happy with it, even when I hold the phone under a light I really can’t see any scratches.

I watched some reviews on YouTube and there are a range of screen protectors rated higher than the ESR Armorite, but so far for me it has been great. I’m also glad it came with two in the box, as I didn’t do a great job of applying the first one and it had to come off right away.
