    I find many of your little stories pretty cool as well.

    Well this cracked me up...

    I sold my iPhone 12 128gb for £500 to Music Magpie. I had to put it in a box and the reseller paid for Royal Mail to collect it from my door. Apple are offering 'up to £410' for an iPhone 12. No doubt that's for the top storage model, so let's say I got an extra £100 for selling to Music...

    At least with Samsung you get the occasional '£200 for any Android phone' trade in offer. With Apple it's "Lol we're about to rip you off. Bend over if you want it."

    Is there such a thing as a super-grippy skin that also won't hide the appearance of the phone? I've had an XTreme skin before and it wasn't particularly grippy.

    People using Apple trade in have more money than sense anyway. It's not really any harder to send your old products off to a reseller and get a much better price. It's not like the reputable ones quibble over the condition either, as long as you're honest up front.

    *** The Official iOS 15 Thread ***

    I quite like this function - there's many a time I've ordered Siri to play music and if the Homepod handles the request, rather than going from the iPhone, then I don't get to see what song is playing. I'm sure the feature would benefit from an on-off toggle though.

    Yes - nobody wanted to spend Rolex money on a piece of tech that would be worth no more than scrap gold value in a handful of years. Just the same way nobody would be buying a halo iPhone Pro either.

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    The whole 'ecosystem' thing is when you've bought an iPhone and then all the related stuff like Homepods, Apple Watches, Airpods, Magsafe chargers etc that don't work with any devices other than ones made by Apple - that makes it harder to move to Android. An iPhone works perfectly fine as a...

    booked battery replacement under AppleCare+ but expired at the time of my appointment

    Try dealing with Samsung. Apple’s customer service might screw up every once in a while. With Samsung, it’s a way of life.

    *** Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Thread (it can fold and everything) ***

    In my experience there is nobody competent in Samsung’s customer service teams.

    It’s expensive.

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    I always thought it was harder and more expensive to shrink tech into a phone-sized body as well. That could be outdated reasoning on my part.

    Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

    And Google have already taken the cynical step of differentiating between what they described as two 'premium' phones in the 6 and 6 Pro by cheaping out on the screens (120hz vs 90z) and dropping a camera module. I'd be worried that the 6a will have features purposefully cut just to draw a line...

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    A few points: 1. AppleCare lasts for 2 years. You've multiplied £189 x 10, instead of assuming a 50% refund of unused premiums when you upgrade every 12 months. 2. Why are you including AppleCare in your sums, but not assuming the potential of at least one breakage for the Realme that will...

    *** The Official watchOS 8 thread ***

    My Series 3 was at least one update behind, since it couldn't handle all 2.5gb of the last update without a full reset. WatchOS 8 came in at 1Gb and installed without a reset, so I'm happy with that. I have no idea what changes it brings.

    Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

    Bear in mind the Pixel 5a has a 6.3” screen, so it’s no tiddler. If you’re hoping the 6a will be compact, you may end up disappointed.

    What you're basically saying is that an inferior product costs less money than a superior one.

    There are strict differences in what reviewers are allowed to discuss in 'unboxing and first impressions' videos versus a full review. The Verge have a full review up - camera tests, the works - while the big YouTubers are opening up boxes and telling us stuff like 'this looks great, see the...
