It is a lot of money, but the strap on its own is £449 v approx £100 for an apple leather. Also get a sports strap thrown in, those unique Hermés faces and an extra year's warranty. I did the maths last year and was 'only' paying about £100 over the odds. The leather on the straps is unbelievable and unlike the watch, if you keep them in good condition are actually worth more a few years later when they are discontinued.

You’re selling it to me! Guess I’ll have 14 days after the s8 arrives to decide!
 
I now might be on the hunt for a regular Pro…

Even though I had the 13 Pro Max, I think using a regular 11 Pro for two weeks made me realise I don’t need the larger screen… and after having a play with my wife’s regular 14 Pro, I think I’m tempted to take this back and wait… annoyed at myself for being so indecisive.

Haha that was me yesterday. Drove all the way to Gateshead from Manchester to swap from Max to Pro. Not used pro size since iPhone X and never ever thought I’d want to go back to that size

You’ve got 12 odd days to find one. I’d say the pros will be easier to find in stock at apple stores

Haha I saw your post, Gateshead is my local store! I’ve had max sizes for a while too and never thought I’d shrink back down but it just feels too big this time…

Yep I’m hoping it won’t be too much of a hassle to find one… just need to keep an eye on that reservation page I guess. 👀
 
Based on last year, what day should I hope for PFS/PFD/any movement on an iPhone 14 PM due to be delivered Sep 26 - Oct 3

Hoping it’s the first half of that window as I’m travelling for the latter…

14PM -

17:36 - 96%
20:47 - 76%

I’ve been scrolling Twitter, using WhatsApp and Safari.

Is this in line with what can be expected? Anyone getting similar/worse/better?
 
Be interested to know which Asdas you are all using for the MM kiosk? My nearest are Sutton and Roehampton. Anyone using those? I'm in no hurry as my 14PM is on back order 🤬 but looking forward to trying this thing out.

I’m hoping to get upgrade to Hermes S9 next year. Hope there’s a more significant upgrade

Keep checking iUP. You can keep clicking the different models and see them appear by magic. Like I put in previous post as soon as I cancelled reservation for Arndale Manchester it was back available immediately.

The last large sized iPhone I had was the 8+, and I didn't get on with it as it felt like an iPad in my hands. Since then I've always stuck to smaller variant as my phone lives in my pocket at work and the Pro is the perfect size for my pockets, especially when jumping in and out of vehicles.
My Mum uses my old 8+ now and she loves it, so I expect I'll have to get her a max sized iPhone when that one needs replacing.

How do you know you’re still on the faster speed. Is it through testing. I’m on a legacy plan from almost two years ago and I’m wondering if I still am. Certainly the app doesn’t seem to indicate one way or the other.
I had checked last week and it specifically said speed not capped. Today though it’s not stating it any longer. So, yes, I think testing will be the only way to tell.

Cool. So many people seem to be complaining about esim issues, I was worried that was the only choice. There doesn't seem to be any advantage to using an esim so think I'll just stick to my sim

There isn’t an advantage unless you want to dual sim with a physical sim. My work sim is physical and my personal is physical. It’s a pain as neither are eSim since I left EE.
