As much as I love my 12 Pro max, I think my next upgrade is probably a foldable
I do love the Galaxy Z Flip 3 but I think Iāve been sucked in too deep into the Appleverse to ever leave
I know what you mean, the main difficulty going from iOS to Android is god damn WhatsApp - they need to hurry up and bring in the native chat migration
To me itās the thousands of pounds I spent on Apple TV, Watches, iPads and accessories, App Store purchases and subscriptions 
Oh and having hundreds of passwords saved in iCloud Keychain and nowhere else
Oh and all my photos being on iCloud
Basically, Iām screwed if I ever want to join the dark side

Unfortunately this is also me.
I have a 12 mini (+ Apple Watch/ Apple TV/ iPad Pro/ MacBook Pro/ apple one family/ 2gb iCloud storageā¦ā¦) But if the form factor discontinued would prefer to have something that will last a year longer (and better battery life would then go amiss!)
My thinking is also that after the next SE they are going to move to a Face ID/ power button Touch ID full screen version with no home button potentially. So would make sense to ditch the mini and have the SE as the small phone from that point (loads of ifs in that but could make sense)
TTM are very good at updating their website
Maybe Iām just being impatient, but I reported this 4 days ago and they said they passed it to their technical team.
This spelling mistakes and extra word, impacts every EU Country
Sounds like a solution looking for a problem
Also surprising that they can offer a card/account with no ID checks

Yeah that is odd, I mean you have to have a contract with them already, so youāll need to pass KYC
But they say there are no contractsā¦ didnāt look into them too much but with giffgaff you can just grab a SIM without any ID. Arenāt they the same?
Youāre right, they give you the sim, then you buy a bundle, no credit checks (as far as Iām aware)
This seems dangerous
Interesting. On the face of it āwhy?ā but thatās what I said when Mondo appeared offering prepaid cardsā¦
Not sure āconvenienceā of signing up for both in one go is a big factor. Its pretty low friction to get a phone contract or mobile service these days. Also tweaking of data packages isnāt exactly brain surgery and making it easy is as likely to lead to a loss of revenue as a gainā¦
Not for me in its current form, but there are a couple of advantages I can think of here -
- Customers are willing to bear a monthly cost for mobile service - not so much for banking services. Thatās probably the real driver here.
- Extra security - making a big transfer? Only from a phone with our SIM in. Plus, your bank is now in a position to block phishing calls/SMSs.
Not without disadvantagesā¦ running up big bill this month / no money in your bank? No phone service for you either - and weāll know right away. Similarly an IT outage at one company can now stop you both calling for a cab and paying for it.
My sim-only plan is coming to an end with Three and I might switch to someone else.
The 5G speeds can be crazy high but other times it says 4G that feels like the old days of WAP!

Yeah itās a congested network causing it.
If youāre happy with Three then smarty is good if you donāt want a contract.
Iāve both smarty and O2 (opposing mast structures) and never without a signal, and to be fair O2 is improving big time (coincidentally days before I move 180 miles away 
)
