Be Excellent To Each Other

£9 direct from EE it seems, maybe free depending on your contract with them.
Too many factors to say for sure, best to give EE and call and ask

EE will buy back at £88

I was checking O2's recycle site as that got me the best price the last time I sold a phone and they only offer £45 if the phone's locked to EE. Unsurprisingly they offer the best price if it's unlocked or on O2 (£96) but even on Three or Vodafone they offer £75; what's so special about an iPhone locked to EE I wonder?

Probably because they can get them unlocked nice and cheaply for the other networks

My boss wants my phone for his wife....

Tell him you don't do swaps.

you have not seen his wife

Looks like your full stop key is stuck there dude, you should probably get it cleaned.

Are you sure the boss's wife.... is just not trying to outdo Grim... by having 4

Well, if she just had three and it was the end of the sentence, then Kov's post is spot on.

Really...

Yup.

It is a habit i have to stop. I keep doing it in reports and emails.

I keep trying to avoid unnecessary parentheses (they get irritating with overuse) and unnecessary colons: it's hard to break these habits.

I'm the same with brackets but it's semi-colons that are my other vice.

I use brackets a lot and em-dashes a lot - and I really should stop.

Shouldn't that be a semicolon?

I thought that as well, but worried it was just part of my general semi colon obsession.

It's two related statements, so feels like it should be.

Which iPad should I buy for MrsA? She wants to watch Scandal on Netflix in bed, do Face time with Mummy Afterthought and watch Kimmy Schmidt in bed. Should I be getting the Air 2? Is that better than the miNi?

If I'm honest, they're all pretty much the same. Get the full sized one.

Edit: iPads bore me. They used to be shiny and exciting but I've seen so many now... meh.

Thank you.

Is it actual proper Facetime? If it's Skype or something, just get a Hudl 2 and save eleventy billion pounds.

I have attone for washing the paint rollers in the dishwasher with the dishes.

I have attone for washing the paint rollers in the dishwasher with the dishes.

I did a comparison of the actual screen sizes for watching video and there's remarkably little difference between the mini and the air 2. Unless she needs it as a laptop replacement and needs the grunt, I'd get a 16gb mini 2, as the only difference between the 2&3 is the fingerprint scanner

Don't get 16 GB iOS devices unless you are really, really, really sure you'll never need the space. Even the lightest of photo syncing or games downloading will fill it fast.

If she's using it in bed a smaller, lighter one is a bit better to hold upright for extended periods.

And yet conversely I've only ever had the smallest size of each iOS device I've owned, and just clear up games after I've finished them, which means I never run out of space.

I currently have 3.1GB free and 9.5GB used on my iPhone with Messages being 783MB and Photos being 662MB

Same here really (for my iPad at least), I did run out of space when I started using it to get photos from my DSLR but even if I had 32GB then I would have found myself in the same situation a bit later.

Cheers. I got a mini 3 in the end. Mainly as I forgot about the last bit of your post. It was about 270.

I hope she likes it

iPhone 7 details announced.

Old style head phone socket removed. Lightning connector can be used for headphone, there are only 8 choices out at the moment though.

There are also bring out wireless headphones called Airpods pricing has been announced @$159 so well over £100 here I would expect.

Something about better water resistance as well.

Another camera to be added to the 7 Pro models so providing better picture quality.

For me the cameras on the Pro will be something I would be interested in, so might so for one of those.

Also going to be a Mario game called Super Mario Run coming out soon.

I thought there were rumours of post-shot focus a while ago? Was that just misinformed? I think one of the Chinese phone manufacturers beat treadmill to the punch with that

Pfft. Doesn't matter what Apple tries to say, they're just removing the 3.5mm jack to make more money, and to make their phone thinner. I'm sure other companies will have to licence something from Apple to be able to create Lightning headphones. And realistically, I'd prefer a thicker phone with more than a days battery than a thin thing that barely lasts the day.

I'm betting Beats releases a ton of Lightning-Connector headphones sometime in the next few weeks - before most other manufacturers will even have the chance to.

Or they will sell more adapters.

Will upgrade to 1 I am sure

Underwhelming. Will keep my 6 Plus for another year, I think.

I'm more interested in a Series 2 Watch but at £600 for the stainless steel one I'll probably pass.

Correct and I guess that's the point, won't be long before the generic adapters come out

Lightning has a DRM chip in it. There will be no generic adaptors.

Haven't the new android phones got usb-c on them. Which is different from the standard usb on most phones..

And a 3.5mm jack.

USB C is ace... or it will be if it becomes standard. Like in the MacBook :rollseyes:

Really? Maybe its going to change for earphones but there are loads of generic charger cables all ready available.

Apple are providing an adapter for the earphones with the new 7 models. When I watched a video so some BBC guy at the Apple Event he said they weren't putting them out one display as they didn't look great!!

And how do they justify this?

Ahahahahahahaha. Etc.

It is, however, just USB. Dirt cheap to get adaptors, cables and whatnot. (I think my total outlay for USB c was about £4. (although my desktop has a usb-C port, my laptop does not)

Things is, the audio jack has been around pretty much unchanged since before my parents were born. If something technologyish sticks around for that long, theres a good reason.

I just thought of the one scenario where wireless in-ears might interest me. At school, girls could hide earphone wires under long hair. This would have made it even easier.

I take a lot of pictures with my phone so will probably get a Pro for the better camera(s)

Last time I used the earphones on a phone was during our pre child holidays when I just had 8 hours of sitting on a beach to worry about

Won't have that sort of free time again for another 10 years!

Whereas I use headphones all the time since having Mimimini, during naps. If we go out he sleeps in his buggy, so I put on an audiobook and Pokemon Go, and if we are at home he'll nap next to me, so I take the opportunity to put my feet up, listen to an audiobook with a cup of tea and knit. I used to use them all day at work, too.

Yes.

Yes, they're knockoffs with reverse engineered chips and Apple routinely shuts them down. They're not a good idea.

What an absolute load of money grubbing shite.
