what I discovered recently, that if you click the side button 5 times in quick succession, an iphone by defualt makes an emergency call.
I got to the bottom of hunters tor on boxing day to a voice from my top tube bag asking me which emergency service I required...i apologised a lot...
you can turn the setting off.
There’s a lot more to the home button than just unlocking. App switching with swiping is little different and payment with Face ID much less reliable when I’ve been using it. Mask wearing in a shop?
Never had an issue without a mask, with a mask just double click the side button choose which card, and then input your passcode.
I was an android die hard until i got an iphone as a work phone and got used to using it. quit the job so the phone went back. My Samsung Galaxy died after a couple of years so bought an iphone 8. This was I guess over 4 years ago and it's still doing just fine. I dropped it while in Mexico and it stopped working....whein i got back home i popped into the local apple shop and got it fixed. It was out of warrantee but only cost a few quid to replace the screen! I just looked today to see how much to replace the battery...49 quid which I don't think is too bad tbh. All in all my iphone has served me much better than and previous android I've ever had!!
All interesting stuff. I'll order a phone tomorrow. Probably an iphone
FYI and iphone 11 is 489 quid (64Gb). A refurbished 13 is 579. That's the same memory and from Apple. New case and battery so properly refurbished not a polished second hand phone.
The 12 has a similar speed processor. But night mode on the wide angle is a big plus for me. Other benefits of the 12 are things that don't matter to me like the display.
They seem about the correct size to me. I looked at a colleagues today. It's the same size as the junk phone I'm typing on today, which is an ok compromise
The down side of spending more is that I have destroyed phones.
If the phone does 4 years it will be cheap. If it does 1 year it won't be
