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

Sounds good, have you used calls via speaker phone as well?

I take the majority of calls on my iPhone 13 Pro Max via the speaker and I've never noticed voices cutting off.

I'm looking forward to revisiting iOS, my last iPhone was a iPhone 5 from 2012!
Have you also had any issues with call quality issues via speakerphone?

None!

I bought the Iphone 13 so my daughter could have my old 8+, On hindsight I shouldn't have done that the 8+ is a better phone than the 13, the 13 is not an upgrade, it is a very poor phone for the money.

What?

Make it make sense.

Apparently the issues stem around that rather than calls through the earpiece.

I’m sure I have but it’s not something I do that often. Again, wasn’t aware of any issue at the time and nothing struck me as odd.

Just picked up a pristine Alpine green 13 Pro for £720. Really pleased with it, 100% battery health and appears to only been registered in September.

The 14 Pro gave me a headache but the 13 Pro doesn't for some reason.

You tried turning off pro-motion didn't you? Did you try another handset out of interest, perhaps it was a fault.

I didn't try another. I remember you saying about turning the ProMotion off but even if that did help paying the premium for the 14 Pro without ProMotion wouldn't fly.

Very happy with the 13 Pro so far.

If anyone's looking to buy a 13 Pro in Alpine Green, there will be one on the MM in about six weeks

Hi guys,

Been using my 13 Pro Max for the last few weeks and loving the newer iOS, just getting back into it after 10 years with Android!
I've been trying to get my whats app to back up via iCloud but for what ever reason it's just stuck on "Preparing", even if I leave it over night.

Anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks

Have you tried enabling end to end encryption on the back up?

I haven't, should I be enabling it?

 

[LiE]

Give it ago. I found it kickstarted the backup.

I recently had this, restarting the phone fixed it.

I've tried that and unfortunately no joy, any other ideas?

Have also tried that and no joy.

No - you need to clear it with Barclays

 

[MrRockliffe]

No - you need to clear it with Barclays

But you can do it in one payment, yes.

 

[iMacMart]

Ok I’ll speak direct to Barclays in that case, thanks

It occurred to me earlier today that Apple have done a superb job on the screen coating. I’ve had my 13 Pro Max for about eighteen months now and on all previous phones, by the time the phone was less than a year old, the oleophobic coating would have gone and I’d be continually wiping it to clear fingerprints.

There’s no sign whatsoever of that. It’s as good as the day it was new. It simply doesn’t pick up fingerprints.
