I've had wireless charging before on a previous phone, it's a "nice to have" but I can't honestly say I missed it when I went to a phone that didn't support it. I can see in the car with CarPlay and wireless charging it will be good, more convenient than sticking the phone in a holder and...

Just got the options through for the new work phone, all 64Gb models, iPhone 8 for nuffink, Pay £80 to go to iPhone 8+, or pay £250 and get the iPhone X. Now that's a dilemma..... but does mean I'll always be contactable by work because I'll use the work phone for everything. Nah, screw that :D

Doh, yeah, it's an SE. Brain-keyboard interface failure :D For what it's worth (which I appreciate isn't much, as it's all anecdotal), my work 6S has been running iOS 11 since Friday and that's fine too.

Have a look at the battery use chart and see if you can see a particular app that’s caning the battery, might be an older one that’s not yet been updated for iOS 11 and is causing an issue. Also try a hard reset (hold down power and home key until the phone reboots) if you’ve not done it...

Got my pre-order in for the new one, very rarely do that so they must have done something right with the last two. Not that I ever have time to play games these days :(

Good effort!

IIRC it’s one of the conditions of using the site that you have to check the details that actually get sent through on the policy and warrant that they’re correct before accepting the policy. It sounds like a c**k up transferring the data over, it’s unfortunately not foolproof as things don’t...

They probably just don't know, that'll all be in the hands of BT Openreach who are a law unto themselves.

According to the hands-on I've read by default video doesn't play across the bar, but if you choose to then it will. That's assuming 16:9 video.

Nearly bought one of those about..... oh..... a decade ago. s**t, I'm so old. Anyway, I thought it was a bit dull TBH, went well enough but didn't have the sparkle of a really good hot hatch. Bit surprised to see what a cult thing they've become to be honest, but I can see they're a genuinely...

Edge to edge screens are a bit meh IMO, never liked them, quite happy that there's still a little bit of bezel. The actual quality of the screen is supposed to be amazing, all of the hands-on tests I read commented on it and that's what really matters. Thing is it's not a right/wrong thing...

Next generation X (X S?) will have touchID in the display IMO, they wanted it for this gen but the technology to make it work in such a slim package with OLED isn't quite there yet. It will be interesting to see how FaceID works in reality, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now but I...

Pretty much what I expected TBH, nice incremental bump for the 8 and the X is at least fairly pretty. I’ll reserve judgement on FaceID until I’ve tried it, not that it’s relevant really because I’m never dropping a grand on a phone. An 8 will be my new work phone so nice to see it starts at...

I'd like to start at the budget end and if I really get the bug I can upgrade, so £300 to £500 tops for amp, speakers and some sort of streaming module. Not fussed about new or used. I'll check out AVForums, thanks.

I have been having a look round eBay, but some of the prices on there for the stuff I remember are pretty incredible too ;) I might get some new speakers and then just get a pick ‘n’ mix of cheaper stuff off the bay, cheap way to find out if I really want to get back into it properly again.

Many years ago I used to be properly into hi-fi kit, pretty much knew the "best" components to get at every price point (or at least what the mags said they were), blah blah blah. My own system was very modest 'cos I was only a kid and had to save up for everything, but I'd now like to get a...

Suspect they won't have touch id on the X, they wanted to get it integrated into the screen but it sounds like they couldn't get it to work in time. From what I've read the facial ID tech is going to be a big step ahead of other solutions - 3D modelling and using infrared too. Personally I...

Animal, vegetable, or mineral, I’ll try anything once.

There were some ridiculous deals on those 440’s recently, was quite tempted myself. Then again, I’m tempted by everything :D

That's one of the reasons I quite like the new FK8 Civic Type R when looking at these uuber hatches, it's considerably lighter than the 4WD competition. OK that means it doesn't do well in a drag race off the line, but everywhere else it benefits.

Rumour is that they want to mark the tenth anniversary with different naming, but then that’s one of those rumours which has come about because it was originally said in the media ages ago and has become nigh-on fact through repetition. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Heard so many...

The top end "8" will be ultra-premium pricing but all the rumours say there will be a 7S-type range too which will be less obscenely priced. Can't see me changing my SE TBH, had it replaced under warranty a few months ago so it's basically brand new and does everything I want. Maybe if they...

Yeah prices are going to be horrific - dollar to pound parity probably.

Thing is, they’re a commodity now. Back in the early days of smartphones it was genuinely exciting to see the new devices because they were such a step forwards, now it’s just incremental gains. Nothing wrong with that, but no point in expecting anything particularly earth-shattering IMO. I’d...

They’re the nuts on track mate, really work well, heavy so you have to drive around that and use weight transfer to help the turn-in but other than that I had no complaints at all and a grin a mile wide. Just watch those front brakes if they’re standard, calipers can’t disperse the heat well...

Wasn't personally involved but there were a string of unhappy people and he threw in the towel AFAIK, there was a big thread on it a little while back.

Very nice :smile: Really must do something about selling mine, I know I should just keep it as they’re obviously on the same path as the E36 M3 but I feel I’ve ticked the M3 box now and fancy something else.

RAID is great, but it's not a backup and from what you're saying it doesn't sound like you have a backup? Personally in your position I'd get an external hard drive, back everything up to that and keep it somewhere separate to your PC, for example in a drawer at work if you can. Then every...

Ignore me, I'm going blind in my old age. :D (Although to be fair, I'd just scrolled down to the specs without reading the description and it just says "Hard Drive/Storage Capacity 1TB", that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it)

They've been around for a while, nothing special. A sub-brand of Lenovo making budget stuff. I imagine that'll feel pretty slow by comparison with a lot of other laptops with a 1Tb hard drive and no SSD.
