Just seen some of the supposed leaks of the new FineWoven Watch bands. They look quite nice actually.

£99 or less and ill consider one of these, they do look nice

My daily at the moment is simply the midnight sport loop that came with the watch (not my picture, one I've just found on google)

Goes really nice with my SS Gold S8, and comfortable

Then I have the gold milanese which comes out essentially on the weekends to look abit more flashy

Would like a new daily go to though and this fine woven may take its place!

Having a nightmare here, basic question

Trying to put an iPhone 12 mini (iOS 16) onto an old burner iPhone 7 (iOS 15)

And its just having none of it, bring the phone close together to start the transfer etc, choose transfer direct from the phone, and then it just basically freezes

Also tried onto an iPhone 7 plus

I can't choose restore from iCloud as it says ios16 is required which isn't available on an iPhone 7

In short, is it possible to put an iOS 16 phone onto one that can only run iOS 15?
No chance directly.

You could try backing up to mac and edit the info.plist. Changing it from 16 to 15 and try a restore. However, I am sure Apple have closed this loophole.

My daily has been the Solo Woven loop, which is super comfy. Had to go one size down when when I got the Ultra.
 
It's that time of year where I come back. Hello all!

I genuinely told myself last year that the 14 Pro would do me two years, but the battery is utterly woeful. I know I should just get the battery replaced, but alas, I'm sitting waiting for 6pm like the good little Apple addict I am.

I've wanted to try a Solo woven out, I bought a third party one off amazon and it just seemed to stretch and fit too loosely to be comfortable.

Thought to myself that one from Apple would be a better quality and surely not have this issue but then at the same time didn't want to risk buying one from Apple at their prices for it to basically do the same after a month or so

What's your verdict? With it being stretched daily im guessing to get it over your hand when putting on/taking off?

For those that can’t get a discount on Apple gift cards via their work benefits, might be worth looking what you can get on supermarkets or Currys. I don’t get an Apple gift card offer, but 5% saving on Currys e gift cards which I’ve then been using to buy Apple gift cards. Bit of a faff, but for £70+ saving on the phone it’s worth the effort.
Haha, ive been lurking 🤭 Many thanks i have already got the blank ones ready as i thought i may need them. 👍🏻

Not had a problem with them stretching out of shape etc. I have them in a few different colours but the midnight one which I bought at the same time as the Ultra so nearly a year old now and still in good shape. I pop it in the wash once as week, comes out perfect.

All this watch band talk makes me wonder what to wear to watch the keynote (need to look the part)

AW Hermes S7 with Hermes leather, Milanese, Link Bracelet or jumping?

AW Ultra with Sports loop, Alpine Loop or another band?

After wanting it ever since series 0, I eventually caved last year and bought it to dress up my Ultra. I love it.
Yeah agreed, it's a lovely bracelet and surprisingly goes well with the Ultra, I was looking at the Titanium bracelets from Nomad, but it's always sold out, and the wait times are crazy.
