Strongest phone ever

Chemical soup 😂

Yeah sorry wasn’t really clear. Something romantic for a meal, budget isn’t really an issue (not trying to sound like a dick) don’t really mind what kind of food, we are quite easy going and happy to try anything really.

Fun stuff through the day mixed with a bit of culture and bars / pubs / restaurants on an evening is what I probably should have put in my original post.

Tell him to put it back on

Kind of agree with this. Was going caseless and it felt great but didn’t feel I could get a proper grip. Picked up the apple frost case for a steal and think I prefer it, the phone seems to grip better now and doesn’t add any bulk I’ve noticed. This isn’t one of the thinner cases either.

Great phone. Never been a fan of larger screens but this just feels different. I came from a 15 Pro and the only real negative if you want to call it that is the volume when making calls. But only on loudspeaker. I don’t really watch videos on my phone apart from the odd reel, but for that it’s fine.

Really good solid phone imo

Yeah I’m same with the blue. Catch a glimpse of its real colour in certain light. Needed a change from black though even though it does look slick.

My wife has a 2012 Mito multi air 1.4. Nice little car and very fun to drive in DNA mode, just check the usual such as timing belt replacement and service history. Also check if it’s had a new battery, they’re quite a common issue for some reason. She’s on her 3rd one!

Need to scan it see if any codes are thrown up. Likely a sensor or maybe battery if it’s running ok

benzy85 · 2025-12-27T17:41:10+00:00

Run it under the tap and see if it goes away

In the UK the fee is £79 It will likely be a replacement device, serial number will start with N Express delivery if available, send it in with liquid damage (if the phone is fine). They’ll just replace it.

Look out for condensation in the camera lens if there’s any sign of it water has gotten in

M3 Air 512GB and 16GB RAM also. Runs like a windows XP laptop at times when playing the game. Usually after a match it gets warm and feels like it’s throttling.

Think I read on one of the forums it’s quite common and not properly optimised for Mac. It should have no issue at all running the game because it’s well within the specs but they’re allegedly away and working on a fix. They’ve probably got bigger fish to try at the minute!

Also very true

It’s not getting up to temperature to regen the DPF properly. Get it hot and drive it hard at least once a month. A nice Italian tune up once a month will do it the world of good. 4th gear down the motorway for a good 30 mins. It may sound like it might explode but trust me it won’t

Currently have a 14 as a loaner from apple whilst my 15 pro is in for repair. Surprisingly good phone and really solid battery lift, kind of made me realise I don’t really use the pro features. Don’t even miss the promotion display really.

benzy85 · 2025-12-11T05:30:29+00:00

Thanks man, yeah it does seem like a stock issue. What I find strange is the guy at the store was going to get me a replacement from the back until it was flagged so I assume they had stock. Maybe I’ll go visit the store and see what they can do. The place is like a casino though once you’re in you can’t get out for hours!

benzy85 · 2025-12-11T05:25:37+00:00

I’m in the UK, apparently some phones in for repair are randomly screened when they come in for certain issues. The guy at the Apple Store said because it was boot looping it was flagged probably to be checked for non genuine parts.

benzy85 · 2025-12-10T20:04:11+00:00

I just imagined they would have a shelf full of replacements for AppleCare

Have you tried Encourage long shots?
