Give it to that Canadian guy who did the pressure test on the screen, bet he snaps it on half 
Good result though. The more drop tests and stuff I watch on this phone the less I feel the need for any sort of maintenance insurance like apple care.

Big if there. I also find the suggestions pretty good but I also still have to hunt for the right folder which makes it annoying over just using spotlight.
The App Library is definitely a quantum leap over the old springboard (faint praise) but for me it’s multiple swipes away.
I know. But that’s a minimum of two swipes away. And the irony of going with a list rather than the 10 year old grid just kills me as it’s a very long list!!!’

Just locked in a price with Goodbuytech after reading some decent reviews and seeing positive experiences with them on Macrumors.
My Apple Trade in expires on November 1, but I’m keeping my device until next Friday, on the off chance I receive a contact trace notification, since I was last out of the house with that phone last Friday.

I might give them a try. Music Magpie replied to me and said that my camera was smashed so they changed the valuation from £330 to £90.
Unless it’s smashed and I never noticed (and it hasn’t affected the camera) or it smashed in transit, I don’t really understand it.
Awaiting it being returned to me and then I can see for myself.

Since 2017 I’ve owned two android and two iOS
I dont see why a phone needs such fast internet?
If you don’t then 5G isn’t for you?

No I’m trying to ask why people need such fast internet on a phone
It will improve the quality of experience for the applications we already have (like enabling higher video bitrates) and unlock a whole bunch of applications that are either impractical or haven’t been thought of yet.

I don’t think there’s a need. But there’s a want.
You can download/stream and not have any issues at all.
They said that about 3G, if I recall correctly. And to be fair, I used 3G almost exclusively when out and about up to last year, and it was fine.

Yup. Then the same for 4G.
Kids these days who can’t cope without 4G, they don’t know what WAP was like!

For me, I can bow tether my phone to my laptop and do all my teams calls and work without pushing my stretched home network. But I don’t need speeds as fast as I get, I just needed something a bit faster than the 4g I got.

The bigger innovation here, IMO, that we’ll experience the benefits to in the immediate term is that tethering can now use 5GHZ WiFi instead of 2.4. This will have a good impact on 4G experiences too.
I think there will always be a need for faster and higher quality and greater bandwidth. It’s only natural. Newer technologies often pave the way for new innovations we haven’t thought of yet that previously would have been impossible. At some point, one of those innovations will be life changing to a point it would be hard to imagine life without it.

I was amazed to get this 5G signal from seat 21F of a 737 on the tarmac at Manchester airport last weekend:

You should have moved to seat 10D. Faster speeds and more legroom 
And you arrive a bit earlier.

I was outside The Valley where the signal has been boosted, and the O2 is a mile and half away
