Jumped on the band wagon. HSBC and FD moved to iPad and full back up taken.

Isn't that whole new lock screen pointless though - who even looks at their lock screen for more than a few seconds just before unlocking their phone, I know I don't?!

What is the point in customizing it with all those widgets, especially when those same widgets can be used on the Home screen??!
I'm guessing it is will be beneficial for the iPhone 14 "Always on Display"? don't have to worry about unlocking it.

I have been thinking the same. The only 2 that will be of any use to me would be battery with % and outlook calendar. Personally think the Lock Screen is going to look cluttered

To be honest, the reason I would pick up the phone to unlock would be to see details from various apps. Things like Callander, emails, WhatsApp msgs etc. stock prices, battery levels too. More then happy to have that data on one screen.

The amount of time the phone is next to me on the desk and I pick it up to ‘see what’s going on’. What’s the stat that gets used, people interact with their phone 60 times a day on average!

Always on would be great too, just then means a quick glance down at it
 
....or wait until iOS 16 drops and keep the iPhone 13 and it will STILL feel like a new phone!
:p 🎣

Apple Watch Series 8 FTW.
;)

Threw caution to the wind and installed watchOS 9 on my series 7 yesterday. Nice to see my sleep stages this morning and had a similar feeling of ‘newness’ 😂. Would still discourage others being so reckless as there’s no way to downgrade back to watchOS 8
 
Im sticking with my 13PM this year for definite. Personally I think the 15 will be more of a jump. For me, a yearly upgrade just doesn't feel like an upgrade any more. I skipped the 12 altogether and decided on a 2 yearly cycle, so will be waiting for the 15, unless that's not much of an upgrade either, hence I'll wait another year..... I'm over the yearly updates....

I say this every year then always cave…!

Normally would but going to see Ed Sheeran on Saturday. As the lead booker I’ve got e-tickets on my phone for 5 people and just know it’d end in disaster!

Get with it man! I’m going to see the Rolling Stones tomorrow. £187 a ticket and standing!!

A hands on vid on the main MR main page here (not sure why my other 'hands on' vid was removed by the mods which showed the same kind of content as the vid below??! This IS on topic as we are awaiting on the new iPhone 14 thread but as it hasn't started yet, this is the only place to talk about it! ) :


Perhaps we need to get @Jinjin to start up this year's thread early so we don't all get banned for being "....off-topic" talking about the iPhone 14 in this iPhone 13 thread!

Seems a lot of posts have been removed for some weird reason from Yesterday
