Works lovely...

Preferred the rounded sides to be honest, but in blue it’s very nice

I waited to get my hands on a Mini to see if I'd prefer that but have just decided to go for the Pro.

Gone for black though, not a fan of coloured phones and cover it with a case anyway!

I had to exchange my first pro, the first handset kept flickering everytime I lowered the brightness, no problem at all with the replacement though.

Like Craig, I was tempted by the mini but after handling both opted for the pro. Got the blue, but it popped straight into a Spigen ultra hybrid case anyway.

Daughter grabbed my SE2020 before I even took the pro out of the box.

Gone for the Spigen Liquid Air case for mine. I've got a similar case of theirs on my 6 and love it.

I normally end up with four or five cases from different brands, always go back to a Spigen, can't go wrong for the price.

Can’t decide if I want the 12pro or not. My wife got one and it feels significantly bigger/heavier in my hand. The cameras are appealing though. I like my iPhone X but would need to replace my battery soon if I were to keep it.

Has anybody got a HomePod or the mini? I want one of them but not sure what is the difference besides price point and size?

thejbs · « **Reply #4646 on:** November 18, 2020, 11:25:28 PM »

Had the HomePod and sent it back. Sound wasn’t to my taste. Sonos is much better, in my opinion.

Craig 🤔 · « **Reply #4647 on:** November 24, 2020, 03:29:01 PM »

Loving the 12. Size is def taking sometime to get used to over the 6 - it’s 100% not a one handed phone (and I’ve quite big hands).

One thing though - what happened to double tap to zoom? It made browsing RAWK ok on a phone but not it appears to be gone and I’ve got to pinch to zoom which is a fucking pain in the arse.

iPhone randomly asked me to sign into Apple ID last night and since then I'm receiving no notifications from any Apps except phone calls and text messages.

Any ideas? All notification settings are switched on.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4649 on:** November 28, 2020, 05:36:02 PM »

Switch it off (properly)

Then trying a restore from the last back up

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #4650 on:** November 28, 2020, 05:52:36 PM »

Have shutdown (hold power and swipe off) a couple of times but no change.

I backup to my PC and the last time was a few months ago. Stupid question, if I restore a backup, will I lose things like the photos I've taken, notes I've made since the last backup?

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4651 on:** November 28, 2020, 05:54:36 PM »

Do you not have an iCloud backup?

markay_stinkay · « **Reply #4652 on:** November 28, 2020, 06:34:46 PM »

Nah, you read all sorts about celebs getting their iCloud hacked so don't ha.

Have since seemingly fixed it by individually opening the Apps and 'reestablishing' the notification connection as they're now coming through.

Regarding restores so I know for future reference, would I lose things like photos and notes?

TepidT2O · « **Reply #4653 on:** November 28, 2020, 06:51:12 PM »

Not if you use iCloud.

With two factor authentication it’s secure.

Looking to replace my ipod Nano 7th generation, but having looked at the prices on amazon I'm tempted to try somewhere else for a change. What is ebay like for electronic stuff, as there are some pretty resonable prices on there. I've brought the odd CD off there but nothing like this before? Or is there somewhere else people would recommend? Thanks.

What memory most of you gone for in the pro? 128 or 256?

Anyone got the Max? If so whats that like?

Updated to 14.3 and news widget has completely disappeared. Apple used to be good with software updates, but now it’s a roulette wheel of ‘what will break if I update’.

That's what they want.

It’s there for me still

Strange.
I can’t even find it listed anywhere if I attempt to edit widgets. It has simply disappeared.

Zlen · « **Reply #4660 on:** December 17, 2020, 12:11:17 PM »

And a reboot brought it back.
Janky as hell Apple, janky as hell.

Finally bought an apple Pencil for the iPad. Claimed it as a business expense but spent all day doodling. Completely changed the way I use it.

I sold mine a while back as never used it, then recently have been doing quite a lot of photo editing on it and it would have come in handy. So much better than your finger for things like that.

Yeah, whilst teaching I join via my iPad and use it as a whiteboard

So versatile
