Vodafone buy back has never done me wrong

Vodafone reviews looked good, but their prices are sh*t. £95 for a 6 Plus 128GB.

Fair enough. I've used them a couple of times and they've always been ok for me. I traded a 6s in last year and got £190 for it which i thought was a decent price

I've had a smartwatch for about 3 years now (though obviously not quite as smart) and yeah you do get used to the convenience. Battery doesn't bother me in the slightest... mine lasts almost 2 days, but I find that frustrating because I used to forget whether I'd charged it the day before or not. So I just chuck it on the charger every day when I get in from work. I have no need to wear it at home because my phone and tablet are always to hand for notifications etc.

Ordered an XS. Meant to join the upgrade scheme but paid in full by accident. Hopefully they’ll switch me over when I go to collect it..

Do you get to keep the phone at the end of the contract AK? So it’s basically a 0% interest free deal with the option to upgrade and start over with a new phone after 11 months?

Yeah, but if you keep it you pay 20 months.

Currently have a 7+ so going to a gold XS should be a decent upgrade [emoji106] ordered through O2 on Sunday. f**k knows when that’ll arrive..?

 

[JJ!]

Thinking of going for the X as good deals around.

Just setting up the misses iPhone XS. Full coverage screen protector has gone on perfectly. Can’t even tell it’s on there!!

 

[sn00p]

Tempted to upgrade to a XS MAX, I'm one of those odd folks that doesn't use much storage. Just checked my 128GB 7+ and in the 2 years of ownership I've used 32 GB, so I really don't use much storage. (Got 256GB TB MBP and have only used 128 GB of that in 2 years)

I have unlimited data (sim only) and run a Plex server at home, so movies get streamed, I rarely take video - mainly photos. My wife will probably tell me to upgrade so she can have my 7 to use as her work phone if they let her.

Will probably pac code my number from three to a temporary sim and get a new phone on a three contract and then port my number back.

Which one you gone for, I always balls those things up and take them off again

This one https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F9Q4Z81/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Much better than the ones that just cover the visable part of the screen!

Bought, cheers JJ

No worries. It comes with a clip on guide that you put on the iPhone so the protector is in right position. I had to lift it up in the corners a few times to get rid of air but now it just looks like the screen!

 

[Daz...]

What cases are people using on the XS? Got one coming next Friday.

Went on great! First one I’ve had that I’ve not messed up [emoji1360]

Amazed me too that I got it right first time! Usually these edge to edge ones leave bubbles or lift but so far its staying put!

 

[sn00p]

Should have a 256GB XS Max arriving on Monday.

I want one but it seems they don't do one for the MAX

 

[withoutabix]

You’ll love it! Such a step up for me from a 7

 

[Fletcher]

I ended up ordering a Bare case, for my iPhone XS Max, it still hasn’t arrived yet though.

 

[sn00p]

You’ll love it! Such a step up for me from a 7

Just got my shipping confirmation, arriving Monday morning!

 

[PP200t]

I quite like the look of the Xr. I’m pretty sure I can live with the retina lcd but the size of the phone in hand will be the test. I’m not a baller by any means and the cost of the Xs is just so high. Hopefully the Xr will be a decent price difference. O2 haven’t released prices yet I don’t think.

 

[DeeKay86]

Anyone else have this issue with the Xs / Xs Max?

See video:



Tested mine and I have the issue intermittently. Sometimes it charges, sometimes I have to wake the screen to make it begin charging!

What a f**king stupid problem to have! Hopefully it’s a software bug and not a hardware fault! Eurgh!

 

[Gavin.]

It’s been reported on other devices too, it must be software.

 

[DeeKay86]

Hadn’t heard of it happening on other devices - cheers for the heads up!!

 

[dk]

has it, I've not seen it mentioned on other devices, only the XS products.

Its happening on my XS, I hadn't noticed until I saw the video the other day though as when I plug mine in at night at the moment its always unlocked anyway as I'm setting the alarm.

I can no longer use my rather expensive and now useless Belkin bedside charger with my Apple Watch, as the XS doesn't support it, what a load of crap. Hopefully the two are connected and solving one will solve the other, but until then I'm resigned to having to plug it into a cable every night, the watch is still using the stand.

Belkin are releasing a new version next month though that has wireless charging, and will support the XS, so I'll get that one.

 

[Gareth]

I checked mine this morning and can't replicate the problem (XS Max). Actually, as I just typed that I've tried twice with my iPad charger (Apple) and its got the problem of not charging, even when I wake the phone up.

 

[dk]

well it was happening to mine last night, iPad charger, but now with the same charger today, I can't replicate the problem.

so definitely seems to be intermittent.

 

[cat171]

The dude at work who cums in his pants for apple products has a problem with his. He's getting a new one tomorrow. His one randomly turns off and reboot s.

My boss and her husband have had other problems both on the max version, they have announced that the phone's are s**t.?

 

[sn00p]

Arrived this morning but not without a heart attack moment when the idiot delivery driver delivered it to the wrong address. 20 mins on the phone to dpd and an hour later he turned up with it....
