Still have not heard anything from rebuy? Dpd collected on Wednesday? Starting to think something is going on? No email nothing from them.
 
For the people buying the watch Ultra, may I ask if you are hardcore sports people? I got the standard watch 8 because the features on the Ultra seemed targeted at quite a small audience (deep sea diving etc etc). What made you decide on ultra compared to the normal 8 ?


I will answer your questions.....!

Q: For the people buying the watch Ultra, may I ask if you are hardcore sports people?

A: 100% NO. I doubt even 2% of the posters on here are 'hardcore sports people' - they literally only bought the watch because its new tech!

I've been away for the past couple of weeks so asked for my 14 Pro to be delivered to a DPD pickup point. Picked it up today and opened up the iPhone box to find the phone had been stolen in transit.

Apple have told me I have to file a police report and send pictures, which I have done, but it could take 7-10 business days to be resolved which is a bit disappointing as I'll have to wait at least that long to get my new phone.

Has anyone had anything like this in the past?

Wow. I'm sorry! I hope Apple can at least brick the phone that was stolen.
 
It is!

I actually really like it, can’t wait to test out more features later.
As much as it looks huge, I really love it the more I see it (yup, still fighting the temptation!)

Might be a weird question, but is it sharp? not cut your finger type sharp obviously, but do you reckon it might scratch other things if you accidentally knock it i.e., car paintwork etc?

Went for it for purely on looks and the extra screen size. While I run and gym, the normal S8 would be perfectly fine.

I don't think it would be able to scratch other things.
I would definitely recommend going check one out in a store to see the size and be able to get a better idea about the sharpness. Although I would say not really sharp at all.
 
You guys are killing me. Nothing at all wrong with my AirPods Pro S1. Nothing at all.

Do I hit checkout...can pick up from store tomorrow. Stupid question on this forum I know.

If you don’t need em, don’t do it buddy. I don’t think there’s enough difference, personally, to justify the upgrade. But of course, if you have the money and you want em, by all means spend your dinero how you please! Lol

Edit: I mean I will be buying em (eventually) but only because my AirPods Pro have become my wife’s 😒

Hi folks , screen protector and case on all looks ok , quick question, do we not get the option of 3 months free Apple TV anymore , I’m sure it gave me the option on my old phone and the option to add Apple care.

In this group it is

  • If you need them get them bought
  • If you don't need them, get them bought
It's the rules set by @Jinjin
 
Ultra. First impressions. First off. Love it! Not too big or heavy. Don’t like the band though. Very in Apple for you have to attach the little clip thing yourself.

Overall though I think I’ll be keeping and returning my graphite ss.

I only walk for exercise. I’m deciding to keep it as the series 8 looks exactly like the series 6 I had. The ultra is just for a change really.
