What model are you getting?

I guess it’s partly the price we have to pay for Apple’s stance on privacy, but it could be so much better.

Even just stuff like playing the radio, half the stations I’d want don’t work, and then I’ll leave the house, try to listen to a podcast and realise I’m changing what my other half is listening to on the HomePod.

Yep, it’s like when I have friends who have joined my wifi at home and the. All of a sudden they get the ‘playing now’ card show up on their Lock Screen!
 
Any one bought a 14 Pro Silver model and why? Cannot decide between Space Black and Silver. Is it more prone to scratches?

Had silver on my 13 Pro, and ordered a silver 14 Pro.

Apparently it’s a little whiter this year, difficult to see on pics alone.

My 13 been fine, although it’s in a case most of the time, Apple silicone or a clear. Looks great IMO when naked, but not brave that often. Can’t see any scratches or scuffs on mine.
 
Oh god, what have I done

Funnily enough I am moving from Vodafone to Three (smarty) and get these speeds at home now

Pretty impressive. There’s no doubt location makes a difference, but what baffled me with EE is I’m right in the middle of a triangle of their cell towers, two of which are extremely close to me. Yet I’ve had the worst possible experience with them - and don’t get me started on their customer service team.

Three on the other hand, have less towers and they’re further away from me, yet I get a decent 5G signal. Go figure.

I have also ordered the silver 14 pro. I wanted the pro and not keen on the other colours. Purple doesn’t do it for me, gold I always find too bling and a bit Chav 🤣 and black is well just black. I like the silver banding and the ice white look. Now if they had blue I’d be going straight for that. I love the blue I have with my 12

Big up the silver massiveeee! ✊🏼
 
On reflection I think it may be wise to not do it so I don’t end up in hospital
But you are at least already there!

You’ll only see them tracked from Syncreon in Hinckley. You’ll get a notification Thursday from either DPD or DHL.
Anyone else think of Erin Brockovich when they see Hinkley mentioned. Maybe just mn as everytime hubbie flicks through movies channels and it is on we end up watching for the umpteenth time!

Might have to start wearing my watch again more regularly

People actually buy second hand in ear headphones ? o_Oo_Oo_O
Maybe they like a nice bit of strangers earwax 🥴

Agree regarding Siri!! It’s absolutely junk. We have one of those Amazon 15” screens and it’s brilliant!!

Alexa even understands my 4.5 year old asking it to play a dinosaur song.

Siri is so bad in every way.
Is that a good thing?
 
I love this time of year and always love this thread! I’m looking at upgrading my iPhone 12 Pro to the 14 Pro as it’s been a couple of years.
Unfortunately, I can’t do the upgrade until next Wednesday. Looking on the O2 website who im upgrading with, it says that most devices except Silver 128gb are available from 16th September. O2 won’t say for sure what that means, but maybe someone here has experience with them in this. Does that mean it’ll arrive on 16th September?! I know ill upgrade after launch day, but just hoping that if they have stock left now, ill be lucky next week and not have to wait weeks upon weeks for the device, especially to make sure I get the best price for my current 12 Pro!

In my experience they arrive on the date the O2 site says. So all except 128GB silver will be delivered Friday.

Had to pop out and it was right next to the cex so though why not check my AirPods Pro’s out.

I’ve had my charging case within an incase case from the moment I bought it. I assume it was in pristine condition inside the case.

Took it off when I got into the store and this is how it looked!

Lots of micro abrasions on the front and back!

Livid at how the incase case caused my damage then me not having one on!

They (rightly) graded it a B.


So I got the cash £91 and going to buy some new ones now

These slow days been pre order an delivery are dangerous to ones bank balance!

That’s really annoying how a case that was supposed to keep your AirPods in pristine condition actually damaged them.

That said, even the price for Grade B condition isn’t at all bad.

I’m definitely getting an itch to try CEX myself even though I had NO intention to upgrade my AirPods.

Hinckley most likely
Is it just that the phones are shipped in bulk to the UK but arent assigned owners until they get here? Curious that they do that with the UK but in the US they are assigned owners straight from the factory

I believe so - the European block of orders is generally is more efficient than the US ones which get assigned from factory.
