If you're absolutely, 100%, definitely not going to buy the new Apple AirPods Pro and then have a few drinks on a Saturday night is it OK that you accidentally end up ordering them? (asking for a friend) 🥺
Doing the sameI purchased this one about a week or so ago.
3-in-1 MagSafe Charger for iPhone 15, 14, 13, 12 | Belkin UK
Belkin's Best Seller 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station now improved with Apple Watch Fast Charger, delivering 33% faster charging speed for Apple Watch Series 8.www.belkin.com
Firstly be aware the the ones currently on sale for £120 are the older version. The newer £140 version will provide fast charging to watch S7 and above that the one on sale won't do.
Secondly, I created an account at the Belkin website, put the charger in my basket then left the site. 48 hrs later I got an email with 25% off my first order bringing it to £104.99.
That is the slower Watch charging one.It's also currently £116 on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Boo...8&hvtargid=pla-1215682735649&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

I did indeed! I wasn’t sure at first but now I’m glad I’m keeping it. But yeah thinking about changing to lower storage if I can by my 14 days if not never mind. What about you?
I’ve never wanted the max after having it a few years ago, too clunky when I’m out and about ! Loving the pro + AirPods Pro 2nd gen, went on a long walk today to test it out and noise cancellation is definitely better.
I think that depends on where you live, as I’m on 3 and it’s been nothing but an improving picture year on year for me.
I even used them for my internet needs for a while through a 4g router as BT who were the only fixed line supplier in my area were worse than crap, speed wise.
Luckily I now have a FFTP connection so all is good.
I live rurally so mobile signals can be hit and miss, but I can get a good signal on 3 for my phone and watch everywhere I go on 4g and I can even lately pick up 5g.
From reading your post your experience is very different to mine so I understand your reasons for moving away to EE and I hope it all works out for you.
I did consider a move recently to EE just for cellular Apple Watch support, the prices compared to what I’m currently paying were eye watering. The signal also isn’t that impressive even though EE claim it is.
Thankfully 3 now support Apple Watch so all is good for me now.
I moved away from 3 probably 5 years ago when their data was slow as hell and all I kept getting was usual brush off from customer service.
Generally very happy with EE and the UK based customer service is a huge win. Used to get so fed up trying to get 3 to understand my issues

Just at the beach. I tend to be clothed elsewhere.
Brilliant iPhone date night with our new iPhone 14 pros
We’re not seeing him return the compliment with your phone on show!
Sounds like a great date night to me
How do you all convince your SO spending this much each year if one
Mine doesn’t give a hoot about tech and thinks they are all stupidly expensive!
I don’t know I’m asking if it would as I’ve seen a few articles that’s all
Me (on and off admittedly).
Now AC+ gives unlimited claims, I’m trying to free myself a little!
My wife is ok with the 14PM because her SE is knackered so she's got my 12PM when I upgraded.How do you all convince your SO spending this much each year if one

I've got permission for the watch S8 that I haven't purchased yet.. I'm still working on the Ultra instead.
Realistically, I don't smoke, I drink about 1 beer a week, I rarely ever buy new clothes so I've little other outgoings but tech is my 'thing'.

It was the realisation that it doesn't actually cost me that much to upgrade... let's do some man maths.How do you all convince your SO spending this much each year if one
Mine doesn’t give a hoot about tech and thinks they are all stupidly expensive!
iPhone 13 PM cost me £1049
I sold iPhone 13 Pro for £720 (Long story short: I swapped with my brother before trading as he wanted the Pro Max)
iPhone 14 PM cost me £1199
Net cost to change: £1199 - £720 = £479. Monthly = £40
My sim only is £12 a month. Making my total cost for a brand new iPhone £52 a month. You won't find a single deal with any network for a brand iPhone Pro Max that matches that overall monthly cost. My trade in would have been better had I locked in earlier!
Also I don't really have any other vices; I don't drink, I don't really go out that much (apart from to play snooker like once a month/every 6 weeks), and my wife and I are really good at not eating out that much too. So spending a bit of my expendable income on a nice phone is justifiable. Also, I don't buy other things on a whim - my iPad Air is from 2016, the MacBook Pro is from 2017, Apple Watch is from 2020 (no plans to upgrade anytime soon) etc.

I identify with your situation re: other uses of money.
I think it’s probably dangerous for people with our approach to chat - we’d end up doing some convoluted maths and justify a complete refresh of our Apple products 😬 (not saying your post above is convoluted - those numbers make sense to me!)
Question for my fellow EE upgrade members.
My EE bill got produced yesterday and is still showing my account in credit.
Are you in similar position?
