iPhone Discussion

[Revels]

One chap wanted to have me fired and was going to the local paper.

Ahhh I miss retail

@ndrw

I submitted my first ever Express Replacement claim tonight. How quick do they ship? Can I expect it before I travel away on Saturday? The money they’re holding is also

This is giving me unexpected levels of anxiety. Never done it before and the payment plus having to manage deliveries is stressful. Wish I had an Apple Store closer to me.

Ah we rarely get local paper anymore. It’s all ‘my partner’s an influencer’. Far less dramatic.

Re the slightly more (but not a lot more) relevant discussion on stainless steel watches, one of my climbing friends has a stainless steel Apple Watch that’s scratched to pieces. He says it makes it look cool (I don’t agree ), but climbing on gritstone will scratch basically anything. Phones somewhat less likely to get scratched of course, although I have had a few loose stones hit my iPhone while taking pictures and it doesn’t seem to have scratched from that.

If I was upgrading I’d have this waiting to install as soon as I opened the box.

Spigen EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 15 Pro Max (2 Pack) :...

[danielxcx (Dan)]

What’s the best temp glass screen protector out there for not crazy amounts of money

[breville_monkey]

I think the Spigen in the link above probably. They have the best rep, and mine did okay for the five minutes or so I could stomach having it on my iPhone 12 when I first got it.

[ravipatel (Ravi)]

What didn’t you like about it?

I honestly can’t tell any difference when I have it on.

[MrDapper]

Ordered the Spigen screen protector. I’m going with the bare minimum protection - so I won’t be buying a case.

Barclays Partner Finance DD set up today. Getting there, just waiting for it to ship now

Also waiting for my express replacement to ship while I’m anxiously regretting not just going to a store

[JuniorZero]

i might have to get this, looks good … I usually rock my phone naked - but the scratches on my screen are a bit deep this time round. you ever used the glass protectors for the back too?

[ndrw (Smartest ‘person’ in the ‘room’.)]

@JuniorZero

you ever used the glass protectors for the back too?

I haven’t. It feels stupid. And since the Pros started coming pre-scratched by Apple I haven’t seen a single scratch

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

Yeah. I’m planning to get them to put on a protector in store before I even use the device. IF I have time

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

Are you sure you weren’t in America at the time… you met a Karen or Kevin

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

I just paid off my last payment on my old 13PM, it’ll be like nothing happened

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

My HomePod mini finally got the update

[JuniorZero]

agreed, they feel rubbish

[mikez]

I always use a case - usually the Apple silicone. The iPhone (especially the Max) is not grippy enough for me without a case. I also want to keep it close to as-new condition for the maximum trade-in.

Good Ol’ Tom is back again

iPhone 15 battery life tested — here’s how long all four models last | Tom’s Guide (tomsguide.com)

[jonprocter (jon)]

How exciting, unsure why it’s an iPhone 15 series exclusive though since the data is already there for Coconut battery/etc to use iPhone 15 Models Finally Show Battery's Cycle Count - MacRumors

[andrew_fishy (Biggest horse fanatic in Leeds)]

They probably don’t want iPhone 14 users seeing how shit their battery is
