Till iJustine is gushing over the boxes and the products you mean? It’s a shame she’s such an apple shill.
She definitely takes it a bit far, but I do like how she keeps up the enthusiasm when reviewing non-Apple products and maintains an unbiased view of them.

At least I know exactly where to look if I want to embrace the waves of crazy excitement!
 
Has she ever not liked an apple product? I am once in a while an objective view would be great.

Used to like watching maxTech as it went pretty technical esp when reviewing cpus on the new macs… but his twitter went a bit preachy and anti abortion in the us so had to unfollow. Wish people would keep the personal and professional personas separate.

I agree, I prefer reviews where people are balanced and can give their honest opinion. I'm actually finding lately I only really watch and handful of people. Tom Tech Chap, Mrwhosetheboss, MKBHD and Danny Winget. Danny is really good and his videos are based in my favourite place in the world - Orlando FL

On a side note, just got these crazy fast speeds from smarty when I dropped my daughter off at school this morning.
Almost as fast in download as my gigabit connection at home!

iJustine channel is an easy watch IMO, and it's nice to see so much enthusiasm, even if it's not 100% legit amongst so many videos trying to knock the products or using click bait titles etc...

Know what you mean about knocking the products. Just typing in “iPhone 14” in YouTube yesterday, the majority of top results were all titled “don’t buy the new iPhone” or similar. All click bait

Morning all, another day closer.

How are you all killing time? As we all know, the week between pre-order and delivery is painfully slow.

I’ve been on annual leave yesterday and today, so caught up with some shows and playing some games.
Back to work tomorrow, and will watch some of the reviews throughout the day too.

Not long now.
I kind of wish I was at work as time seems to fly by! I’m off this week

Morning all! I haven't been in one of these threads since the iPhone 12 thread. Happy to finally be posting here. I had a few issues remembering my forum login details and got locked out a couple of times, had to renew the domain associated with my email address that had expired, you know, the usual! I've been frantically trying to keep up from the shadows, though.

I too had fun with preorders and the app not letting me in until someone on here kindly suggested switching off Wi-Fi and trying over 4G, which let me in instantly - so many thanks to whoever that was when they posted a hundred or so pages ago! I managed to snag delivery of a launch day 14 Pro in Space Black. I'm coming from a 12 Pro in Pacific Blue, so hopefully a relatively decent upgrade.

I feel like this is the year I'll finally put a case on my phone. I used Peel cases a long time ago (iPhone 7) and loved how thin they were. How much heft do the Apple cases add? And is there a difference in thickness between the silicon and leather ones? Or any other recommendations for thin cases?

Looking forward to consuming all the reviews tomorrow! I gave in and installed iOS 16 last night - the lock screen customisation and keyboard haptic feedback are welcome additions.
 
Rebuy top service 🙌

Trade in offer signed up for Friday 4pm, iPhone collected by DPD Saturday, trade in processed 4pm today, paid by 5.30pm.

I completely forgot to lock in a trade in value weeks ago. Rebuy offered £695 for 13 pro 256gb unlocked. One small nick on the top corner of the frame you could feel with your finger but no change in final value.
Good to hear!

I have booked rebuy/DPD to collect my 13 Pro 128gb on Saturday. Getting £606.00 - declared as mint condition - it's only 6 months old, always had a screen protector on since it left the box and always been in a case, one tiny mark on top of the phone which should be fine
 
given how much space the poll is taking up, its time we can bring it down.

I'll take a screenshot of it and link to it off the first post if needed... will pull down at 10am if anyone still wanted to vote!
Not surprised that most of the votes are for the Pro models. The normal iPhone is for everyone else!

Anyone know how EE collect payment if you PAC out of your contract?

Is it via DD or do they phone and try and take a card or something.

Just trying to figure my route out for the back end of this week!

Exactly! I like that her channel is just pure joy and excitement. It's definitely a bit over the top at times, but I'd rather enjoy her enthusiasm than yet another clickbait negativity-focused video with titles such as:
  • "The TRUTH about iPhone 14"
  • "Watch this BEFORE you buy!"
  • "10 problems with the iPhone 14"
  • "Why I'm NOT buying the iPhone 14 Pro"
  • "Skip the iPhone 14, it's all about 2023!"
  • "The iPhone 14 is a DISAPPOINTMENT"
It drives me mad! 😡 I understand why YouTubers resort to this rubbish, but I still hate it. Don't forget the cringey facepalm thumbnails...

Even worse are the ones who have clearly fake iPhones (immediately after the event), or even what is clearly an upside-down 13 Pro Max with a badly cropped screenshot/mock-up of a 14 Pro Max... 🙄 Sadly, that seems to fool thousands of people with not a single comment calling it out.

Perfect

Thinking I need to get this 13P off to MM and get paid then PAC out to Voxi to close it out before maybe going back to EE sim only with a 20% (or 30% code if I can find one)
