Has anyone used 5G on Three? Do you find it to be any good?

Very good...off the top of my head, I've seen 460 down, 26 up, and that's while out and about

Shame the 14 isn't coming with 6E That's one thing I was really expecting Apple to include. Benefits of 6E are extensive...

You need to have a reason for the 15

Agree, I cancelled mine. As a serial upgrader its a little odd not to be awaiting a delivery but I didn’t get excited by the 14’s for some reason. Maybe I’m getting too old and sensible.

100% agree with you - I also chose to keep my 13 Pro this year.

Annoyingly mine always opens page 1 and I want page 2!!!!.

In the days of old there was always a page to the left when you swipe right so I call that page 1 these days. So all my main homepage icons are on page 2 and I can;t get it to open on page 2. I could swap page 1 and 2 over but I like my main screen being the central one.

I would think it opens up to the page you last viewed, no?

I have 3 screens but have the last 2 hidden (use the app library to locate those apps), so I literally only ever see the first page.

True!

Hi all - Been in London for the day in work meetings! On the train back and catching up! Just in time for reviews! Any recommendations?

 

[Joseph C]

Um. I don't think a single reviewer got a silver unit.

And I am ... t r i g g e r e d ... about it.

Nope...opens to my page 3 whatever screen I was previously on

Might try hiding pages 👍

Camera improvements look good from the reviews so far! That new 1/1.28 sensor is a massive step up, let alone with an increase in pixels and improved computational stuff...

I think MKBHD still got a full day out of it easily and the Pro Max will manage a lot better as well.

At 8 mins in, he said it's affecting battery life slightly more than he expected and would be turning it off.

Yes, but his battery history screenshot still showed a full day’s worth.

And the Pro Max has plenty of stamina to spare. I’ll be leaving it on!

I think you have your pages the wrong way around!

When the phone opens, it opens to the Home screen - this is where your main apps should be. Then, if you swipe to the left, it brings page 1 into view when other apps can be placed.

Onto The Verge‘s review. Always strikes me that Nilay looks like Bowser. 🤣

Don't say such a horrible thing about Bowser. 😔

Here you all go - all in one place (other than iJustine) :

iPhone 14 Review: Irrelevant, soon to be obsolete

Do you really need the 14 when the new iPhone 15 is out now?

The Sony XM4 ear buds are fab

 

[ct2k7]

Did he keep it on or off for the battery test?

 

[pop2video]

This one is good

Just tried mine and it opens at the last page you were on. So that throws what I said before out the window, maybe been fixed in iOS 16.

 

[Charlottedesir]

Looks like people's orders are starting to move to the 'despatch within 24hrs' on EE!

Not mine though!

Hmmm, you're right, just tried and now opens to the last page I was on. I'm using iOS 16, so maybe the change was made there, unless you're saying that in iOS 15 it's also the same. Either way, I think I'm now happy

 

[johnyslats]

Haven’t been able to watch any review due to stupid work! But at least I’m caught up with the thread 😅

 

[mous94410]

They all have the same colors for the review units. I want to see the new silver colour !

Right?

We're not going to get to see it til it arrives Friday! Talk about suspense!

 

[squawk7000]

Hmmm indeed, the system is a Win 2003 with SQL 2005, the disks are 20 years old, running Backup Exec from the same era, backing up to LTO3 and we are now LTO6, you can only use tapes up to two versions back on the same LTO

Oh good grief. You mean a disaster waiting to happen

 

[LondonerLexi]

Did he keep it on or off for the battery test?

I don’t think he did a proper battery test for this video, he just showed a screenshot of the battery graph.

I believe he left AoD on for his testing, though.

Yep, we have to pick up the pieces for the application we support on the server......
