    Mortgage Rate Rises

    I there is quite a bit of 'fat' in the market right now. There are many, many people - especially 20s and 30s currently renting who if it came to it could comfortably move back home to their parents. There are those who may need to compromise i.e. share bedrooms back home or empty out the...

    Bean to Cup Coffee Machines 2021

    Thank you so much! For the last month I've been fastidiously checking Amazon, AO, John Lewis, Currys etc. waiting for this to go on sale. I was hoping for it to get to around the £600 mark before going for it. £547 is an absolute bargain! Thanks again. Annoyingly, the pro model does not come...

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    That is an odd move to mandate the camera goes in to macro lens mode with no override if you get sufficiently close to the subject. Surely that should be our choice. Can make a fairly significant difference to the outcome of the photo.

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    I can't blame the YouTubers, I would do the same if it was my business. One long video giving a comprehensive run down of the phone, or: 1) Unboxing 2) Initial Impressions 3) Camera Review and Comparisons 4) Processor Speed and Battery Comparisons 5) One month with the phone review 5 x...

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    I've ordered an ESR screen protector from Amazon. The case I will be getting directly from Apple, just need to decide on leather or silicone.

    *** The official iPhone 13 (mini/pro/max) thread (The Pro Max has 120 Hz and everything!) ***

    I had not thought of this at all! I bought my X outright and have been on various SIM only for the last 4 years. I was set on an EE contract as I receive 20% discount through work perks. However that would quickly be eroded by the RPI increases. I'm going for the outright option and will...

    *** Official September 14th Apple Event (18:00 BST) ***

    Does anyone know if I opt for an EE contract instead of buying directly - whether I'm still likely to receive the phone launch day or is that only really if you buy direct? I'm currently calculating which option works out cheaper - I have work discount perks I could use.

    The iPhone has had a price reduction? The last iPhone I bought was the X 64GB for £999. The 13 Pro 128GB is showing on the Apple website for £949

    *** Official September 14th Apple Event (18:00 BST) ***

    The downside of this is you will never experience the wow factor of a major update. When I went from the 6 to an X I was in awe for weeks; from the screen, form factor, responsiveness, camera quality - just blown away. I assume from the upgrade the X to the 13 Pro will be similar but maybe not...

    *** Official September 14th Apple Event (18:00 BST) ***

    It's been a while since I've been excited about an iPhone launch (I have an X - since release) however I'm really beginning to notice the camera shortcomings, especially in low light of the X. If I didn't care much about the camera, the X would probably be good for another few years no problem...

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    The new driveway looks lovely. The house on the left... have the managed to squeeze in a downstairs toilet in to their front porch or did they just have random windows laying about they wanted to use?!

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    Out of curiosity, what went wrong with the XF?

    This Business and Moment...

    Congratulations - this is something that almost never happens! I suspect, there is a competitor that is beginning to actively contact/poach your colleagues offering higher pay or they have intelligence that this is incoming and are being proactive. As it leaves them in a stronger position to do...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    The value will have increased over the last year but as will the value of most 'fun' petrol engined cars. There's a lot of people who's commute has dropped drastically with no impending return so demand for exactly your type of vehicle went up. However I would doubt it was specific to the fact...

    Is this number plate legal?

    The layout is not legal, no. Legally spaced it is 'X1 OAS'. Whether you will actually have any issues i.e. being stopped and fined, highly unlikely.

    Apple to replace Intel and move to ARM - *** Confirmed as "Apple Silicon" ***

    In your case, as you have no pressing need for a new laptop - waiting 6-7 months for a potential complete redesign and 14" screen, would be well worth it.

    *** The official 2020 MacBook Air/13" MacBook Pro thread (it has the M1 chip and everything!) ***

    Just making my way through the YouTube reviews and have found The Verge to be quite unusual. They literally sing praises as to how amazing both the Air and Pro are and then as you get towards the end it's almost like they've been told you have to add something negative and he states "the Touch...
