I might buy some Argos vouchers through Complete Savings at 20% off and just wait until they are back in stock.
I don’t know what all the hype was about the orange being horrible but I think it’s lovely!
Gave me a hard time setting it up last night couldn’t get into my account and I thought would take a hour to get it all done too from 9:30 till 1am!
Gotta find a better screen protector for it I had 2 with the case I bought but they constantly bubbled up so I removed them luckily I had a 14 Pro one still and I’ve put that on a a temp fix for now!
I really don’t think Apple do enough with them to make it feel like I should upgrade every year though and I think 3-4 years is perfect time to change a phone!
Hopefully it lasts that and I don’t get one either the paint coming off 🤦🏻♀️😅
What’s everyone’s opinions on there’s so far? 😉

Saw all the iPhone 17 models in a shop today. Cannot say much about the Air as it was clamped down same with the other models. What I could say was the orange on the Pro looked much duller and more a burnt autumnal kind of colour than I was expecting it to be.
Apparently the 18 pro models will be more of the same in design and materials or that’s what the rumours are saying.
The thing that looks like a scam that pops up when you book a Trainline ticket
Gives you 10% cashback on eBay, Argos, Trainline, Hotels.com, Curry’s, and loads more. I book a lot of travel and accommodation for work and have earned thousands back over the years. It also gives you 20% off Argos vouchers (max of £100 per month).Do you, though? It makes me so sad when people use screen protectors. It’s like putting a bucket over the head of a supermodel.
Jerry slashed the Air with a Stanley knife and the screen just yawned at him and told him to try harder. Doesn’t the Pro have the same new screen?
I mean, you do you. It just makes me sad 😢
Stopped by the Apple Store to check out the rest of the lineup in person. I can see why the Air will be more popular than initially thought. Its incredibly thin and light and feels premium.
If you want a big screen without the heft of the Pro Max its a solid choice. I wasn't totally enamoured by it personally but i get it. I would avoid the black colour though.
Also having seen the other colours, i'm really glad i got the blue 17P. Just need to make sure i baby it to prevent scratches. All the phones on display at the store had marks/scratches except the base 17.

It’s the restore process that throws it off (assuming you restored).
Some apps will sort theirselves out but the easiest fix is to delete and reinstall the app.
lol since it’s scratching easily amongst other posts I’ve seen paint chipping etc or so I’ve read I just want to give it some protection from my long nails 😅😁
Better to be on the safe and narrow lol but I know what you mean
They prob make it there iPhone 18 for next year that design wise it reminds me of my 6s and 7
About 5 mins, choosing mobile data in watch settings seemed to push it along
If you create a verified ID and take a photo of your driving licence or passport and a face scan you don’t need a pin for an eSIM download.
Well, i have now cancelled my Argos order as it was still missing at the national yodel hub.
I've been refunded, and expressed they have lost a customer.
Ordered from amazon at 1030pm last night and we here before 9am. say what you will about amazon, but their logistics system is incredible.

Got delivered around 11am, happy with that, will set it up shortly! LFG!DHL now removed those 2 entries and replaced with shipment back at delivery depot at 11pm and expected delivery date being yesterday
Oh ok. Is that a one-time verified ID or would you have to do it every time?
