I wonder what the difference between the Black & the Trans Black cases?

I really like the look of them, thanks.

Ignore that. I’m not sure what I was looking at yesterday, but there’s clearly some branding on the case

I’ll take some pics of mine when it arrives later today. But I think the “trans” are more frosted in colour so you can see the Apple logo, and the non-“trans” are more solid in colour.

Peel cases are the go-to but depending on how bad the branding is, these might be an alternative given the cost of Peel + taxes + shipping time.

Brilliant thanks. If the watch isn't unpaired then is it still easy enough to pair to the new phone?

It should give option to pair existing device. I did that after restoring my iPhone using iCloud backup.

Dont know if it works if you setup your iPhone as new device.
 
Oh lordy, this week is dragging, was kind of hoping work would distract me but I can't concentrate! 🤣

I'm entertaining myself with this thread (of course!) but also by clearing some of the cruft off my phone. I prefer not to start fresh as I can't be bothered with all the passwords, it's quite therapeutic to do some manual deleting though, I take so many photos, mainly for Instagram which either never get posted or are not worth keeping as 'memories'.
I'm mostly shocked at just how much gets caught in WhatsApp (16GB!), mostly just gifs and screenshots from friends. Feels good to get them gone! 👍

Updating all my devices to iOS 16 tonight should kill a few hours at least 😆

Geez guys and girls, you lot sure moved this thread on over the weekend! :eek:

After my disappointment of Apple fcuking up my pre pre order with their red phone number app problem, the problem with not having my pre pre order listed in my Apple account (wouldn't appear in the store), and the inabilty to actually contact anyone, I finally managed to get my Pro Max 256 Silver order in, but only for delivery 3-10 Oct :( I also 'treated' the wife to a Pro 128 Purple, though she's paying for it for the next 24mths lol ;) Hers is also scheduled for 3-10 Oct delivery.

Soooo, while the majority of you are unwrapping shiny new phones on Fri, spare a thought for those of us who won't be so lucky. First world problem I know, but still annoying :(

To pass the time between launch day and delivery day, I decided to upgrade my watch from S5 to S7. Got a decent deal on a cellular model through eBay (even though I don't and won't need the cellular capability!) should be better resale price, and was cheaper than most other GPS models.

With the S7 watch and the 14PM phone in mind, what USB-C power bricks are folks using? I had been charging my S5 watch using my old USB-A brick and the USB-A puck. Knowing the S7 will have a USB-C puck, and the new phones, I'm gonna be potentially looking for 2 or 3 USB-C bricks. Have heard good things about the Anker Nano (also @Jinjin has posted the Anker code this morning), and obviously there's Apple's own brick.

I feel your pain, red line happened for me too. Eventually cancelled and gave up hours later. Got 1 case delivered and another on the way, but no iPhone. Will have to play the lottery and hope the Edinburgh store have some stock. It's all very disappointing :mad:

Have you considered buying elsewhere, from another retailer?

Sorry where is it showing the Monday hours? I only see this
 
Is there anywhere still giving a decent recycling value.
I’ve got a price locked in with UR but not sure I’ll get it there on time now 🤦🏻

Not going to risk buying from Currys anyway as imagine the iPhone has slight damage or is DOA...they’ll refund you in gift cards and you’ll be stuck having to buy another iPhone off them and by then the delivery could be well into October.

They legally have to refund the original payment method.

Anyone having payment issues? For some reason my payment didn't go through and when updating details I receive the same error.

"Authorization failed. Please verify your card information or choose another card."

I've tried 3 cards (2 different banks), all of which have the correct funds, and I always get this error... :(

That seems to have happened to a number of people. You need to call Apple.

Sometimes I read instagram usernames in different ways and wonder why people don't stick a couple of underscores in the name or just use something different! Though no funny examples to share right now....

I know what you mean, I sometimes have to do a double take, just to be sure there’s a non filthy way of reading it. But hey, that’s just how my mind works. My wife often asks if there’s anything I can’t make sound rude :D
