Well if you keep it you take out a plan for it

How are you finding it’s size?
I more meant trying to decide if I need the plan or if I just run it without, mainly as I can't remember the last time I went out without my phone.

I like the size. It doesn't feel too big, the display is nicely bright in all conditions and the battery life is incredible compared to my old S5. I've not given it a full charge since day 1. I've only topped it up for 20 mins here and there while I've had a shower and I've worn it overnight every night since I got it.

I must say the ultras battery life was astounding. My S8 is decent to be fair I get home with 65% ish. My S5 was 18%

I had that same issue on the app. Used My EE on the web instead. Got a QR code to scan and it transferred straight over

Even the website is asking me to order a physical SIM. Things have been borked with EE ever since I moved to an eSIM :(
 
Anyone seen this before??!!!

Apple Watch screen sharing

Control your watch from the phone!!!

I'm in the same boat - don't want to pay even £7pm unnecessarily for something I don't need, and also don't really go further than about 10 feet from my phone, but still like having everything that I have paid for active. I'm also a bit salty still about when my 6S+ was stolen from my clinic room, and having a watch that could at least make a few emergency calls would be nice if I am ever unlucky enough to have it happen again.

I can also attest to the great battery life - I don't wear it to bed, and often have it dangling on a lanyard, but even so making it through three full days is mind-blowing considering my S0 could barely do one, and my S4 wouldn't make two.

Me too. i've now charged it twice. the first time I let it get down to 20% (that took 4 days - always on switched off and brightness at 0. I use sleep tracking app. I charged it last night at about 9pm and its down to 94% now at 20:33 today. Much better than my aw7. Not Garmin good but good never the less.
 
I wonder how long its going to take apple to resolve their pro phone supply shortages? I want a 512gb or 1tb pro max in black.
 
If they let me… it’s a very long and difficult process

Why wouldn’t they let you? Do you have AC+. It shouldn’t actually need AC+. I would just order / reserve online and return yours. Is it a hardware internal issue or you smashed it?

1TB are generally the easiest to get!!!

You got the stock monitoring app?

No apple care, it’s brand new though only picked it up Saturday. Not smashed. Hardware issue with the camera completely
 
sorry I meant have been checking the reserve website not the app.

Reserve doesn’t always show same stock. There appears to be 3 systems - pay online pick up instore, reserve for store pickup and iUP
