We have movement.... I'm thinking of starting a fresh set up instead of transferring everything from my old phone. Ive backed up things that a want already.

I’m sure you’ll love it! What colour did you order?
Blue!!
Plus not Max…,?
Yeah plus, the max didn’t have a colour option I liked. First time buying the larger phone and I was set on a sierra blue PM. But they didn’t renew the sierra blue.

For me, the higher price is an absolute no brainer for the extra that you get.

EDIT: Just realised that you’re comparing the 14 Plus with the 13 Pro Max.

The difference between the 14 Plus and the 14 Pro Max is only £150. Still worth the extra in my view.
Yeah I get most would be the same. I currently have a standard 13. It does everything I need. Any one of the phones from the 14 lineup will do everything I need.

So it genuinely came down to colour for me. I don’t like any colours of the pro max, I don’t mind the white, but I don’t like the SS sides.

The plus is £250 cheaper, lighter, and bluer. And if I got any other phone I’d spend the year thinking ‘I wish I’d got the blue one’.

So for this year, I’ve gone for a phone based purely on aesthetics.

Not sure what’s happened to me today - I don’t seem to have woken up properly. Please ignore all further posts until tomorrow!

Yes, you’re right. It’s £250. Still worth it though.

Different horses for different courses.

Have you got your Ultra yet?
 
Braided Loop - does it get looser over time?

I tried a 7 and it was a bit too loose and a 6 felt OK in the Apple Store but after an hour or so, feels too tight and leaves a mark on my wrist.

Ha exactly the same thought I’m having with my 7. Seems a good fit right now but I don’t know if it will loosen. Got a feeling a 6 would be the same as you.

I’ll give it a day but if it still feels and looks like this, I’ll swap it.

May get a Milanese in black/graphite.

Pointless thing I found out but kinda like - does the the start up screen change dependant on what colour iPhone you have? From a few unboxing videos I’ve watched it seems to be the case which is pretty cool

Which start up screen?

From clean phone or whenever restarting?

Do the silver and gold start up with white screen and black Apple logo or are they all back to black background and white Apple logo?

The default Lock Screen wallpaper is different for the different colour phones, yes. Not sure about the initial setup screen, can’t remember what mine looked like!

Yes the lock screen wallpaper is definitely specific to model. Think it has been for a few years. You only get your colour in collections. If you want the others you have to download.

I don’t think the hello screen was different per model.

You can still choose colour specific to different pro colour models by swiping left on default wallpaper in customisation.
 
Why does Australia, New Zealand and Canada always get priority over UK. New Apple services always end up there first and now this Twitter Blue Edit service.
