Get a wingback card holder. They’re far better.
I have the wallet on mine, not sure if it's Apple though. Allows me to carry driving license, and physical Amex etc (Tesco won't take over £100 via Apple Pay as an example). Also allows me to use the phone on a table as without the card holder it's not flat (I don't use a case).

I have the Apple wallet as well as a third party one that doubles as a stand.
Can’t overly fault either however the Apple wallet comfortably fits just 2 cards and 3 at a stretch - literally. You can squeeze 3 in but it stretches the leather and pretty much means you need to keep 3 in at all times.
That said it is much sleeker than the other wallet I have, but then again it can hold 4 cards and notes (remember those
) and it doubles as a stand.

I have the 2nd gen apple wallet which has Find My but it doesn’t have NFC so it’s not like the AirTags where you can track it down to within a couple of feet. It basically notifies you roughly where it was when it last detached from your phone.Thanks gents, are they “find my” enabled or are some of them? Seems some that are twice the price, going to purchase one as I have a few cards I need to keep on me!
Cash is king!!!!
I’m not sure if there has been an updated version since or how the third party ones work.

I’d says I’m fairly careful with my phone/wallet but you never know …. Thanks
I know it’s just a regular thing now-buy new phone, transfer over and move on with your day but just something very uninspiring with this here 17 Pro I’m typing on…
Like the move from 13 to 15 was cool because of Dynamic Island, titanium, etc but this time I’m definitely not wowed by this one even with the new camera bump…

Probably should have got an air or wait for a fold next year. The pros haven’t felt fresh in a long time.
I knew the battery wouldn’t be great in the Air so that was never a consideration. Saying that-I don’t even think the battery on this 17 Pro is much to write home about either tbh which I think is the biggest disappointment.
If it wasn’t for the fact that both sides of the family all have iPhones I’d have gone with the Pixel. But it is what it is.

Big test for my 17 Pro in Cyprus last week. 16 Pro and 15 Pro would pause charging regularly because they became too hot and would also stop working when I was out and about due to the heat. Not so with the 17 Pro. It charged without getting hot and handled use at the beach absolutely fine. For these experiences alone the 17 Pro is a big step up from previous generations but that’s my personal opinion only of course.
Tried moving back to Android and the Pixel 10 Pro and to be fair there's just been so many weird quirks, it's hard to describe so I'm heading back over to iOS today and getting an iPhone Air delivered today. Quite excited after messing about with it in store.
Anyone have any recommendations for cases? Ones that don't particularly bulk the phone up too much. Already been looking at the trusty Bellroy leather cases I've used for years (well leather free alternative now).

Mous and pitaka do very slim cases (1mm) I have the mous as couldn’t find the pitaka locally.
