I find the 14 Pro Max has a better grip than last years 13 Pro Max? Anyone else think it's more grippy this year?
Maybe because it’s slightly thicker and heavier? My 13 PM was hard to hold, the 14 PM feels a little better, but it still feels slippy. Reason I use the Apple Silicone cases - they are really grippy.

I’ve been looking at the S8, but I couldn’t justify the upgrade from my S7. First year where the new AW hasn’t been significantly different.

I get what you mean. The more popular they have become, the slower their CS is. Curve is the same. But it’s still much better than HSBC, my previous bank. The Monzo apps is fantastic.
I agree - it's my main bank - but the customer service is abysmal.

For example, not long after I set my new phone up Apple tried to take the £250 AirPods Pro payment from my card. Monzo declined it as a precaution due to my device shift - so far so good. My account was "temporarily blocked" from anything going out until I did a selfie video to verify myself. Okay, still not a problem. I filmed the video selfie.

It said, "We are checking your identity and this will take a few minutes, we'll let you know as soon as it's done."

It took 5 hours and eventually I was able to sort the payment out, luckily not affecting my order. I contacted customer services via live chat and wrote a message about it and even now they've not responded. They need to be better at customer service because as you said, their app/featureset is 💯.

To those of you that have sent your phones to Rebuy.

Did you just hand over the phone to the DPD driver or did you put in the original box before handing over.

What packaging does DPD provide when they collect the phone from you?
 
Thank you so much for your reply.

How about the United Kingdom as the main language in the set up which hasn't appeared the 2nd time? Do you think there is anything else that might have been erased? :(

I couldn't as the old phone was Android and the only possible way is to start "Move to IOS" which can only be done during the set up.
The only difference between a phone from the factory and one that has been erased are those apps you mentioned.
 
What’s people’s thoughts on going naked with AC+? now it has unlimited repairs at £25 a screen? never broken or lost a phone but always had a case on. kinda wanna enjoy it without a case but interested to hear others thoughts

Think this myself. I used my 13 Pro Max naked for the last 3 months and got used to it. No drops, no problems. Also like you say with AC+ makes it a much safer option. Like to know what others think?
 
This year I went with the Spigen AlignMaster screen protector (2 pack), last year I went with ESR Armorite.
Had no issues last year and so far seems to be the same this time. I am glad it was a 2 pack as the first one had a bit of dust under it that I must have missed, the second applied perfectly.

Same here. My first one had like a streak along the protector. Second one perfect!

I’ll let you know. Just had DPD saying they’re picking up my 13 mini this afternoon. I think they just want the phone. No box.
 
Good morning all!

Hope we’re all enjoying our new shiny phones.

Have to say I’m loving having the bigger screen back with promotion. Can’t say I’m seeing much utilisation of the dynamic island yet though. Always on is nice.

Going to spend the weekend taking as many photos of my dogs as I can, see how good the camera is!

Honestly just do it. I've never used a case and while the older iPhones (like years ago) were a bit more shatter prone, they are just so, so strong these days.

If you have AC+ there's even less reason to have one.

Rebuy send a folded cardboard affair with padded foam it’s pretty secure once it is in there. Used their packaging 3 times no issues yet.
 
Must say, the feature that’s making most of a difference to my life so far is ProMotion. Coming from a 12PM it’s a game changer.

I’m really noticing it now after coming from my xr burner. When I moved from 12 to 13 it didn’t feel like a massive jump but after using it for a year, I can really notice the difference.

Just the smoothness scrolling, moving between home screens, all buttery smooth
