Urgh, was hoping to see the watch charged by now too and apple sneak me my s8 for Friday… guess not!

Has everyone who paid in full by card been properly charged now?

Similar for folk who have a 16th delivery day for an s8… charged for those too?

Lots to look forward to though… Friday phone, Wednesday watch, following Friday AirPods!
The charge for my phone is still pending.

Mine was early. Came last Friday instead of Monday. Also ordered a 20W charger plug and that was scheduled for delivery next week but arrived today.
Talking of plugs, I have been looking for a decent twin USB C charging plug thats more economical than the Belkin offerings at the £70+ bracket. Still hunting.
 
Had Pro Max model for the past two years. This year I’ve ordered both the Pro & Pro Max to see if I can live with the battery on the smaller Pro. Just fancied a change this year, but we’ll see how it goes 😊

Why would they tease me like that saying “we’ll deliver your parcel tomorrow” if they’re not gonna do that 😂😭

How about?

There’s that dodgy named 15% off code for Anker too

Thank you, trying to remember what the code was and failing.... auld grey matter unfortunatly.
 
Finally got my upgrade sorted!

Ordered from affordable mobiles originally but a few hours later EE rang up offering a more acceptable deal to stay probably when my order began to process after using my PAC code. £180 upfront £61.60 a month. 14 Pro 256gb. I'm still paying roughly £65 more to stay on EE as I would of payed £190 upfront £55 a month & £80 termination fee if I switched to Three.

I'd say £65 over 2 years is a price worth paying to remain on the best network in my area but wouldn't of been too fussed if EE never called and switched over either way.

I'm getting the new iPhone on Friday if theres no issues.

Telling myself to stop thinking about iPhone 14 PM for today and go to bed…! … but… as I place my 13 PM on the belkin 3 in 1 MagSafe charger I can’t help but wonder what the always on display does at night… 🤔

I know there’s some cool stuff like the display goes off if the phone is face down, or if you are far enough away whilst wearing an Apple Watch, but otherwise, will it stay lit all night while charging? Anyone know?

Took the case off my Alpine Green 13 Pro Max for the first time since it was delivered to enjoy it before it’s sent away, and I didn’t really get to appreciate how nice the Green actually is.

Now it has me wondering if I should go caseless when I get my Deep Purple Pro Max to really appreciate the colour. Or maybe find a decent clear case that isn’t an Apple one.

This is one of the reasons why I always use a clear case. I like to appreciate the colour of the phone. I know they have a tendency to go yellow but they’re usually so cheap it’s not an issue replacing them.
 
Anyone got any experience with the Spigen clear cases? Never used Spigen before, but tempted to order one since it’s on offer.

The Spigen ones are good but personally I prefer the ESR ones which I’ve used the last two years and have gone for again this year although I use the ones with the Halolock or MagSafe.

So I have both the Spigen ez fit and the ESR Amorite ready and waiting to use but which should I install on my brand new untouched 14 PM screen on Friday? Used the ESR last time round and been very impressed but I think the installation method is slightly more anxiety inducing than the spigen one so I’m tempted to try the spigen. Black border vs no black border is then the biggest difference. Which would you go for?

I’m useless at putting screen protectors on and can never do a good job. Luckily there is a kiosk in the shopping centre that sells phone cases but also provides a service to put screen protectors on. They usually charge two quid to put on a screen protector you provide and always do a great job. Spending two quid is worth it for me.
