Noticing battery life in the pro isn’t that great.

Already lost 11% only been off charge since 7.00. I am sure i used to get more on 13 PM!!

Yeah i opened the 'view details tab' and see mine is in china as well

Bit naughty they're only using the ''express saver'' option. 🤣

Same for all stuff that come via ups from china. My s8 graphite did the same trip but via DHL.. don’t get any decent tracking with them!

Look out for flight UPS 5x11 from Shanghai > incheon > cologne. Usually leaves 7am local time so a little after midnight here.

You got the S8 graphite as well?

Or did you return that for the Hermes?

Returned for the Hermes. Found the graphite too light and closer to silver for me. Always had space black watches and had to go Hermes to get it this year.

Would have again bought a titanium space black if they did them.

I really wish they’d add a little seal round the AirPods case! Mine gets so much crap inside where it’s in my trouser pockets and I’m using them on construction sites etc. tried having them in silicon cases but it doesn’t stop dirt getting in the lid
For me it’s leather bag crap 😂

Hey all, just wanted to share my experience this year incase it helps anyone out!

Firstly a massive thanks to @Jinjin for continuing the annual hype in such a organised and informative fashion! Keep up the great work my friend!

iPhone 14 Pro Deep Purple

Ordered on pre order day (1:04) and was delivered on launch via DHL. Love the the new Deep purple colour and overall the phone feels very premium ( as they do). I wouldn’t say a massive difference from the 13p but new features - Dynamic Island and AOD are great!

Sent my 13p to MM on Saturday 17th September via RM and was paid fully by Thursday 22nd September. Managed to lock in a good price via the “save the basket” method just before the event! So very happy with the MM service second year running for me. Appears the ‘Royal Mail’ sending method is best but just need to allow 7 days for it to get there.

iPhone 14 Pro Cases

Went for all Apple Originals - Leather Ink, Leather Midnight, Silicone Elderberry, Silicone Midnight.

Expensive but all amazing colours this year that really complement the phone!

AirPods Pro 2

Ordered on pre order day and had them delivered via DHL on launch ( yesterday) at 7:45pm! Despite me being the last delivery on that very long tracking snake they were worth the wait! Amazing sound quality and good bass. I would say a big step up from original AirPods and a fair step up from the 3rd gen as I never owned pros before.

Went to my local CEX this morning and gave in my AirPods 3rd Gen after using since 21st Oct 2021 without any cases or any protection. Managed to get an A grade - £94 but I did keep them well and didn’t use the original charging cable etc. Even had plastic wrapping for case.

MacBook Air M2 - Midnight

This may not be relevant but thought I’d add to my 2022 summary! Grabbed this from Currys earlier this week as they had the 512GB model on sale vs Apple RRP. This is a secondary laptop in addition to my M1 Max 16” and mainly for travel / work ( when outside the house!).

What a machine and honestly the midnight colour is an absolute beauty( wish the MBP 16 came in the same). Such a nice portable size and speedy across most apps. Would highly recommend!

And that’s a wrap guys, been great being part of this thread and look forward to the iPhone 15 next year so we can all do this again!!

Good luck to all those still waiting - this year’s products have been amazing!!!

Enjoy your devices #TeamiPhone14!!
