[Technology] New iPhones - 2018 edition

[LlcoolJ]

How do AT&T know you're using a BlackBerry?

Because he's the only person still doing so.

.great battery life for those mandatory kit days (unlike an Iphone which will die before the first aid station)

Iphones are not like they used to be battery wise. My Iphone 8 is a year old and still lasts a full 2 days without a recharge and yes I actually use it during the day !

In other news, I finally succumbed to a new MacBook Pro on Saturday. £1749 (plus 5p for the plastic bag). worth of gorgeousness.

Imagine my horror, yesterday, when the meeting I was having moved from the Royal Festival Hall across the way to Le Pain Quotidien and I noticed the back of my leg was wet and, looking down, to see that Diet Coke was pouring out of my messenger bag. The messenger bag that contained a nearly full bottle of Diet Coke and my new MacBook Pro. The laptop seemed to survive, which is quite something given it was sitting in a puddle of liquid.

You got that cheap.........the plastic bag, Tescos and MS charging 20p now

Is there ANYTHING more exciting than the Store pages on the Apple website being down?

In 1998, when I moved to the US, I bought a Blackberry and got a contract with AT&T here with a $65 unlimited worldwide data plan. As long as I keep using a Blackberry they cant take the plan away. I buy my phones direct from Blackberry so I don't touch the original contract. Their new offerings are pretty good.

That's quite bizarre as data was gold dust back then, so I'm surprised that truly unlimited data plans existed.

For £20 (c $26) you can get three PAYG SIMs that include 12gb of data that can be used in most countries. I'm not on three but picked up one for three weeks in California, and it worked very well.

iPhone X s Max: game changer.

Apple mojo score?

 

[LlcoolJ]

Whoah!!! Here's the REAL game changer....

Only £175!

 

[StonehamPark]

All very 'meh'.
Although the XR version is tempting, will have to sell my S9+ though which is a hassle.

 

[brightn'ove]

XS Max is very tempting despite the stupid name

 

[wehatepalace]

Will definitely be pre ordering an XS max

Well junior has got one and it’s rubbish compared to my Sony.........could be in part down to how it’s used of course

Need to update my 7 plus and as much as I’d like the XS max am more tempted by the XS as always found the 7plus a bit too bulky especially when in a trouser pocket - am thinking the XS might be the perfect compromise as the screen looks virtually as big as what I’ve been used to on my plus but in a smaller pocket friendly frame

 

[Brighthelmstone]

Tempted with the XS Max and apple watch 4!

I am tempted by the watch for the first time.

I had the original iPhone and had android ever since but might finally swap
